Dear Mr. Jenner and Shelton Rotary Members, Hi! How are things in tile U.S.? Everything is just great here. I've never had more fun m my life. Everybody is so sweet and friendly! All 59 students from the U.S. flew over together and you should have seen tire welcome we got in Tokyo. Ttlerc were hundreds of people (our families and Rotary Club representatives) waving signs that said welcome and the name of tire student they were waiting for. It was really neat. I just love my family. They're super people. The country is beautiful. The food is very different but it's good. I don't know if I've tasted any raw fish yet or not. There was something suspicious looking on my plate last night so I just swallowed it and didn't ask what it was. The only thing I really didn't like was some cold bean pudding. Before my mother gave it to me she told ROTARY DISTRICT Governor Cliff Laver of Courtney, B.C., visited the Shelton Rotary Club last week IHere, left to right, are Arnold Fox, a Rotary member; Vice President George Lemagie; Fine Master Don Wiss; Laver; President Bud Lyon and Exchange Student Chairman Dick Jenner. me that it was "very delicious treat." I tried my best to look like I was enjoying it, but ! must not have been doing a very good job of it because she told me that I didn't have to finish it if I didn't like it. They tell us that most exchange students gain from 20 to 50 p¢)unds while they are gone, hill it's not our fault. You wouldn't believe how much you have to eat just to be polite. I don't have any problem with weight through. I tried out their scales and I only weigh 65 (65 what, I have no idea, but that's a pretty small number anyway.) I'm really proud of the way I handle chopsticks these days. My only problem is when we have something slimey or too big to eat m one bite. Tonight we had big slimcy onion soup. That was quite a challenge. The funniest thing of all is to go into town. I'm sure there are other foreigner~ in tow,t~,.b~t I haven't see any yet. At any rate, they are rare enough to be noticed. Everybody stares. The funniest of all are the little kids. They point and chatter and giggle. Then when I turn around and smile at them they run and hide behind something. A little old lady stopped me on the street today. 1 couldn't understand a word we said, but we had a very long and interesting conversation. One of the things people find so strange is my height. They always have something to say about that. You wouldn't believe how little everyone over here is! I just barely skim under the doorways and when 1 reach to the bottom of the kitchen sink, my hands are almost knee level. (The countertop is about 6" above that). Well, I'm about out of room and I can't afford another page. So till next time Sayonara! Lora John B. Doherty John B. Doherty of Shelton, 87, was dead on arrival at Mason General Hospital on Sunday.
