I am happy to announce that the digitizing of our FORWARDs from years 1922 to
2000 has been completed, and I would like to say that this project couldnŐt have
happened without the help and support of: Tom Haar (60) who initially incepted
the concept of digitizing our FORWARDs, the U.S. Chapter Alumni members who made
their donations in the realization of this project at its initial stage, all the
Alumni who supported the idea of the project and availed the use of the Father
Gerber Fund, Gyosei School who provided us with their archived FORWARDs, the former
and present Association officers who gave continuous support of the project Nobuharu
Suzuki (67), Boon Oyama (66), George Koyama (69), James Patterson (78), Yutaka
Nakayama (91), Hideo Nakanishi (64); and of course many more.
The digitized FORWARDs will be available on a DVD disk from cover to cover including
the ad pages for the years up to 1951 (the 50th anniversary issue) and Year 2000
(the last issue). Ad pages are not included for the years from 1952 to 1999. All
the digitized yearbooks are in its own PDF book format with a total of 88 books
burned onto one DVD, approximately 10,000 pages and 2 GB of digital data. 300
DVDs will go into press initially, and will be ready in November 2007 in Japan.

All orders from the US need to be received by Oct. 31, 2007 to ensure having

If you can not attend the above events, we suggest you contact your classmates
to pick up your orders. The association lacks in volunteers to physically handle
individual mailings, kindly understand our situation. |
| 6. |
If you are outside of the US or Japan, we urge you to contact your classmates
to obtain your copy, since monetary transaction charges are enormous for us to
handle and we cannot accept any foreign checks. |
Kindly spread the word to your classmates who have no access to the internet.
Thanking you all for your support.
