thanx tagusari's

This is a much overdue posting of the Tagusari family, whom I love. I have posted many pics of Yusho, but his older brother Rintaro, has yet to make the blog. So this one is for YOU Rintaro!

Rintaro has been a great Japanese language/culture/custom teacher. He's a ni-nensei at the local high school, so his busy schedule and mine often conflicted, but we managed to find many nites to hang out and im grateful for his English-speaking company! I hope that I was able to teach him as much as I learned from him. I know someday he will visit the States...and hopefully he remembers his Twinkies tee! Yusho & Rintaro have been the best students....eager, willing to try and work at improving their English and unafraid to make mistakes. I hope that I will encounter other motivated students in my future ESL career. The clock is ticking down here, but I am excited to take on another challenge. Gotta keep the spirits up as I go into the final leg of the sayonara series next week.

Just a few more goodbyes,...bear with me folks!
and lastly, where it all started.....

meet the parents: Kazuo & Koko sure have raised some quality boys!

kudos to you!
