From the Editor
A remarkable change in my neighborhood concisely reflects a slice of current social conditions. A hospital of obstetorics has turned into a day care center for the aged. Yes, we are coming into the aged society. Less children, more aged people in the future.
We have welcomed two new staffers at the PARKWAY office. One is Eric Katzman from the US, whose profile will be in a future issue. The other is Hiroko Fukuhara living in Tenno, Kure.
My piano teacher, Harumi Makiyama has left for the States to study at Graduate School of New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. A few weeks before her departure she had played Chopin's Concerto NO.1 with a Polish orchestra, which was her first experience to play with an orchestra. Despite those busy days she gathered all the necessary redtape documents for herself. She was lucky to get some great help from Eric and Julee. Living abroad is a tough thing. Good luck, Harumi!
PARKWAY Homepage has just been opened by Etsuko Kawamoto, our original staffer living in Hiroshima. Her computer is the most up-to-date and has a reputation for distinct color. We hope our readers can drop in at the Techno Park and enjoy the beautiful color photos, especially the front page photo. (
