YOKOSUKA, JAPAN

 

On 27 Apr 2006, Jim Massey, [Yo-Hi Class of 1972 and a member of the Yahoogroup "YohiDevils"] while in Japan on business made a presentation to Ms. Tari Wright, Principal, Nile C. Kinnick High School in her office at Yokosuka.    

In anticipation of her retirement at the end of this school year and as a representative of the alumni, Jim was expressing to Ms. Wright thanks for keeping our old school running in ways that make the alumni proud.

The presentation included a collection of goodwill cards, letters and other gifts as follows: a tan Coach handbag, a crystal encrusted Coach keychain with "Tari Wright Yohi 2006" engraved on it, a bouquet of flowers, a card from a mini-mini reunion in California, a card from Rick Rankin, and a card from those who contributed towards the gifts, and letters from Reverend Steve Norden, Jim Hyatt and Kathleen Fletcher Standridge. The following folks contributed funds for the gifts and flowers: Rick Rankin; Louann Reitz Mahnke; Steve Norden;  Cindy Mullen Freauff; Jenny Harada Allen; Bill & Jan Sims; Laura Schisler; Carole Moore; and Mini reunion alumni [Harry Johnson; Debbie Spear McIntosh; Cheryl Spear Becker; Joe Ross; Alonzo Flores; Kathy Shuler; George Leakos; and Kathleen Fletcher Standridge].  

The following photos represent the presentation to Ms. Wright and Jim's tour of the school grounds.
