Glad you were able to visit Maruzen even briefly and were able to find the ink you wanted. I assume NRT means Narita Airport (I haven't taken a flight from there for 13 years!)
Admin reply: The cost of running this web site is not so great, less than 100 dollars a year for the domain name and about the same amount for the web server. I just pay out of my own pocket. My wife is probably neutral about the subject since it is not a big deal.

Comments: Hey Russ,
Yep, It's me, Model S from the Kenmore HS Class play!
Seriously - I'm glad to see you're enjoying life in a different world. I imagine Tokyo is quite a bit different than life here in the states. I have your masterpiece, the ole Kenmore Cardinal Yearbook in my hands as I type (through the wonders of modern technology). Neither one of us look like we've changed a bit! lol
Check out my YouTube Channel for some of my travels. Oak Harbor Community Church and Left Behind are two video's I made for our church. My camera was failing in those days and has since been replaced. The Left Behind Video suffered the worst. Anyway, I ended up here in Mason, (home of Kings Island) and I install and repair computer systems for Cincinnati Bell Technology Solutions. Drop me a line. I am impressed by your arts, your ministry, and your location!
Jerry
Admin reply: Model S! You mechanical fart! (one of the funniest things I heard during those years at Kenmore). Great to hear from you after 35 years. I'll look for your work YouTube then.

Comments: Hi Russ, I guess it has been over 35 years since we have talked, but I took a peek at your website and was blessed. I will be ordering a Psalter or two most likely. After I return from my upcoming short-term mission trip to Mexico. I just thought I would drop you a line and tell you I enjoyed your website and will look at it more thoroughly when I have more time. Also to wish you blessings and who knows, maybe someday I will visit Japan again and look you up, if not, I will see you in heaven. God bless you!
Admin reply: Hi Barb! Wow, 35 years! I'm always happy to hear of classmates who are serving God! Glad to hear you enjoyed some of the articles on the web site, especially the one on the Psalms (my favorite article). Alaska! Wow, you strayed pretty far from Akron (like me). And now Mexico, too? I must confess that after I got here, I haven't traveled outside of Japan at all except for a few trips back to the States.
Yep, we'll definitely meet again!

Admin reply: Wow, I have no idea where you could find F10 sketchbooks in the States, except online with a web search. I recall when I lived in the States I could find large 18 x 24 inch sketchbooks (not as large as F10) and I wouldn't be surprise if larger sizes are available.

Admin reply: Wow, and I used to think I didn't have any relatives at all. That is an amazing photo, and I'm glad it served such a useful purpose for you. I was thrilled by the hat in the bottom of the photo and had a similar hat custom made based on it.
