We took the bus trip again in 2007...Paul turned green on the trip there...it affected his community gambling and golf negatively...he won't be standing in the front of the bus looking backward reading... looking up and down directing the game and telling jokes...Shinji had to stand in for him...Thanks to De-De all the rest had a great bus ride... many of the old friends were there already...talked stories with most...I bet "Banana Boat Joe" across the board at Hollywood...the 2-year old is showing improvement and that's what really counts...Dreaming about the first Sat in May...All the win tickets went down the tubes... it's his second race and he hit the board...I updated this page because I noticed lurkers coming from a LA Times blog...While there I saw or heard all the monikers accept the Little Gents that the article mentioned...I hope the little Gent  'ill be there next year so we can kick it....hooked up with his brother Ray who still lives there with Darlene...it was the first time I saw The Koshakus in print...I told Clyde it makes me think of Chester Carson....that was 50 years ago.   http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedailymirror/2007/06/asian_gang_war.html   Emile lived just up the street from Bobo near the Ito's....Prescott near Roger behind the library off Jeff near the walk thru...I heard he became a HS Principle...who would of thunk it...
