April 24th is our son's 43rd birthday.

It is April 24th in the local time of US west coast where our son,Takashi lives. It is Takashi's 43rd birthday. I sent an e-Card to celebrate his birthday in the morning Japan time. In the afternoon,Takashi and his wife Sachiyo called us on Skype. We were glad to see them look so happy as usual. Takashi said that he had met his former professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology,Dr.Ohyama, who had visited Stanford University,where Takashi is studying as a visiting scholar.Sachyo said she was going to come to Tokyo in May to attend some event which is going to be held at her alma mater,Keio University.They seem to be doing something busily and actively.We told them we wanted to visit them some day in the near future.
In the local election held on Sunday,Mr.Moriya,our neighbor,and the chairperson of our neighborhood association, was re-elected as a member of the city assembly, gathering 3,876 votes,the most of all the 33 candidates.Congratulations.
