NOTE OF APPRECIATION
Recently,-when we were in Ottawa to attend the inves­
titure of the Order of Canada, we were warmly received by our
former pupils, now residing in that area, who took the lead
in, honouring us at a celebration banquet.
During our stop-over in Toronto, we were again principals
at a grand reception sponsored by the Gakuyukai. We were
honoured at this affair by the attendance of Consul Yanagisawa
and his wife, representatives from the two Japanese Canadian,news media, former teachers and former Ijikai and Boshikai
executives of the Vancouver Japanese Language School, and
a large number of our dear graduates, ts well as, friends and old acquaintances. We were moved to tears by the warmth
shown by all those who greeted us and by the expression of ap­
preciation shown (by our former pupils who presented us with
a lovely, commemorative plaque and a “beiju” birthday gift.
\ Please accept our heartfelt thanks for your constant fee­
ling of friendship towards us and for your great hospitality
during our visit.
Sincerely
Mr. & Mrs. Tsutae Sato,

plains that in four days after
