Greetings from Jean Barthelemy and (wife) Kumiko
“Looking forward for another great reunion, superbly organized
this time again by Anthony and Dermot!
35 years have flown, including the 1990-1995 period back in
France, so “only” 29 years in Japan. My two youngest, now 32
and 30, both married, were born here shortly after ETP, and I
remarried in 2001. I also have two grandchildren, 8 and 6, in
Albany, N.Y., born to my eldest daughter, who married a Scot ;-)
My wife works with me at JBC, the consultancy we established
in 2002 (after my 5 years with the French Embassy) to advise
and support European SMEs in tackling the Japanese market.
Fond memories from Berlitz and ETP will come alive on Saturday!”

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.
