Greetings from
Mito Japan,
My second wife Tomoko is Japanese. On this,
a combination vacation and business trip to the country of her birth, we
spent time with her parents, older brother and sister, and nieces and nephews.
Her family home is not far from
Mito in
Ibaraki Prefecture about fifty miles north-east of Tokyo.
Peace

"PEACE
DECLARATION: A peaceful world is the wish of all humankind. The
proliferation of nuclear armaments among those nations possessing such
capabilities has become a threat to the very existence of mankind. As
Japan is the only country which has suffered atomic bombing, we, the
citizens of Mito , consider it our mission to appeal for the dismantling
of the world's nuclear arsenals, and in doing so declare Mito to be a
"City of Eternal Peace". By the City of Mito, Japan Dated on July 1,
1985 "
