Oh, yay, you made a thread for it!
I've been not online to any of my game/forum areas much lately, because I'm working on organizing a big trip for my grandparents. They want to see as many of their old friends as possible, cross off as much of their "Bucket-List" as they can. So it's turning into a really complex multi-city undertaking! Also, it is making me wish I knew Japanese.
My grandfather worked as an oceanographer and had a Japanese colleague whom he really admired. He'd very much like to try and go to Japan and see him one more time, but I don't know how to find the man!
My grandfather's email service cut out on him about three years ago, and we had to move him to a new service, and his old contact lists are gone.
I know his name (Horibe, first name Yoshio), I know he was associated with Tokyo University, I know the titles of a few papers that he and my grandfather published together, but I don't know how to find out if he's even still alive, or how to reach him to arrange this!
So that's what I have been working on, lately.
How is everyone here?
