I really couldn't tell if I'd posted this picture or not, but since I couldn't find it anywhere, I thought I'd chance posting it. Apologies if it's a repeat.
Recently, I've been in touch with Noriko Sensei (teacher), the person who sent that monetary gift to Okinawa. I got excited about the newspaper article series she'd written, and she responded for me to send her my drawings/writings. She had time now to see them all, she said. So, I began with sketches and snatches of life and short paragraphs, then I went onto longer works of several pages, all dealing with myself, family, or Okinawa: all topics of interest to Noriko Sensei.
I didn't realize there were so many things I remembered about Okinawa until I started gathering them to send Noriko Sensei. More importantly, I didn't realize, until I was in the middle of doing this, how much I'd loved the island I grew up on..or dear servants of God I knew like Noriko Sensei when I was growing up there.
