Greetings from Richard Reddaway and (wife) Lynette
Looking forward to being with the survivors next weekend.
I enclose a recent photo of my wife, Lynette, and myself, entertaining two Malaysian Indian friends for a snack (Malaysian style) in our apartment in Penang.
With best wishes, Richard & Lynette
Greetings from Kyoko Tanaka (formerly of EU Delegation in Japan)
こんにちは！ お元気ですか？
35/36 years ago, I was totally shocked when I heard some participants in the earlier ETP groups said: “We were sent to the moon, put in prison (Diamond Hotel) and got brainwashing (to learn Japanese). “ The first thing then I had to do was to wipeout this image of the ETP. Was it successful?
Last some 20 years until I retired in 2008, I was engaged in services in the trade and industry policy fields in the Delegation. This is the period when you devoted yourself mostly or partly or indirectly to business with/in Japan. It was thus so impressive that the EU- Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, of which actual negotiations I missed, was signed this year! And, you are now happily celebrating your 35th Anniversary of ETP 4. Congratulations!!
I hit “70” last January, a milestone, which means that I met you first just at the midway point of my life. I “look fine” but need great care for health. I enjoy quiet and slow life, mostly staying at home and sometimes going out to see excellent fine art exhibitions in Tokyo. Last October I enjoyed 薪能, no-play in the evening, at Meiji Shrine as you see the photo below.
