Hi Fumi!
This looks like a pretty prestigious recognition — good luck! It appears that things are still going well for you and Bravis, and I congratulate you!
It’s been a long time since the days in the pickle factory building, but I think of you often, and always fondly. I hope you and your family are doing well. Paul and I continue to enjoy a good and peaceful life in San Francisco.
What prompted me to find you on the Internet was a question I was asked recently: What were the names of the owlets mascots used for the Nagano Olympics? I thought you might remember? It’s not very important, but a good excuse to get in touch with you.
Kind wishes to you and your family,
Mim
How fascinating that we should meet again judging a competition in Russia.
Best wishes!
