Mamoru Sugawara, my old friend in Miyagi, passed away. E-mails from Takashi and Michiko Mokudai, my old student

  It was a fine day. In the morning, I attended the late Mr.Akagashi's funeral. After having lunch, I went with Ayako to see our field in Furusato Noen. We pulled off all the pea vines. There were some ripe red tomatoes. There are still some vegetables left unharvested like sweet potaoes, radish, and yarcon.
  I received two emails; one was from Takashi in California. He sent me his new "book" on the company management. Another was from Michiko Takahashi ( her maden name: Mokudai). The mail was about her wedding next month.
  In the evening, Terutoshi Onuma in Miyagi called me and said Mamoru Sugawara, one of our junior high school classmates passed away. I was so shocked though I had heard he was ill in hospital. Mamoru had been the representative of our class reunion. So sad !
