Here's an archive of stuff I previously posted as NEWS and UPDATES.   A short history of the web page and (albeit) major developments.

Sept 2008   Oh, NO!  BACK TO MIHARU!   Well, the dream job turned out to be a nightmare.  Or rather, my boss turned out to be a nightmare.   As Kevin says, "You sure can pick the crazy ones, mom!"   So, after 4 months (which was technically the original timeframe we talked about anyway) of working 60 hour weeks with NO overtime and nary a good word from the boss, I quit.  We have returned to Miharu and Kevin is happily enrolled in Miharu Jr. High.  See the page on Miharu PART TWO for more information.
 
Jan 2007   We are MOVING to Miyagi Prefecture!   After 20 years on the Miharu rollercoaster, Kevin and I are moving to new (and hopefully greener) pastures.   A wonderful woman named Keiko has offered me my DREAM JOB in the town of Ishinomaki/East Matsushima, just north of Sendai.  So, we are moving the end of March 2007
 
Kevin will be starting Jr High at Yamoto Dai Ni Jr. High in East Matsushima.  Jeana will be starting up another English preschool in Ishinomaki.  (The first in a chain?)
 
Dec 2006  Added like 8000 pictures to the smugmug web site.  Wow!  Even I didn't realize how many GREAT events and exchanges and classes I have lead while I was here (in spite of resistance from my nemesis!) 
 
Jan 2006  Happy New Year.  Updates the Links page with a couple of new links.  Added the link to Dad's Memorial Page on LEFT of this page.  Hope to get some cool memories to blog onto the site.  Created a SCHIEFFER REUNION web page.
 
 
09/2004  Added photos from Kev's 10th Birthday Party (Yugioh Theme.) and some photos from our trip home, and photos + links to Mr. Kusakabe's latest work, and photos of a pre-school I've helped start in Miharu.   It has been a crazy, busy, but rewarding, two years.  Hope you enjoy the pics and notes.
