We met Satoshi in Japan in 2002, when we were living in Kyoto. His older sister, Junko, had been our friend for many years, and we were happy to meet Satoshi and their parents, Wataru and Kazuyo, at (Junko and Shinya) Kamimura's home in Nara. Satoshi joined us on many sightseeing trips, including these great moments in .... In Tokyo at the "Sumo Stable" Restaurant In Nara at Horu-ji Temple In Seattle at the Hydroplane Races We often recall the afternoon we spent with Satoshi and his parents watching the hydroplane races on Lake Washington. He had shrewdly arranged their visit to Seattle to match the dates of the races. We had never watched the races, and so we all spent the afternoon stretched out on blankets, wrapped up in the fun of fast boats and loud noises. We also remember Satoshi's impish nature, typified by the time he unexpectedly turned up at Osaka airport to say "good-bye" when we were leaving Japan. He surprised us and he surprised his sister! Now we say "good-bye" to a dear friend, who we will always keep in our hearts. pages filled yet the stamp carries away unspoken words
