In the last issue we announced that this edition will be the last unless someone volunteered to continue publication. I'm so thankful that Becky Hirasaki and her daughter, Amy Moore, have volunteered. It has been very enjoyable to me, personally, to have published this newsletter, and I certainly have learned a lot more about our family. Although I knew a lot of our family history, I have a much clearer picture of how it all fits together. I would like to thank every one who has contributed in any way, and special thanks to all who have made major contributions because without all of you, it would not have been possible. I thank Donald, my brother, for his tremendous job of editing as well as Becky and Henry Hirasaki for their great job of printing and mailing the newsletters. I'm sure Becky and Amy would love to have your help in continuing to publish the newsletter.
