Gordon,
My wife was showing me her country. She had a couple of cousins who worked for JNR and they got us some passes. We just went all over including places that she had never visited. We knew we would be transferred to the US by the Air Force and she wanted to see as much of her country as possible as we never knew if or when we would get back there. Air Force transferred me to Oklahoma in July 1965. I never got back to Japan, Anne returned to visit family a number of times but they were always short visits. Still makes me mad as hell that my Japan railway photos were stolen and probably by a fellow Air Force photographer. The person could never publish them as then I would know who stole them. Anne loved Colorado as it was like home.
