Group of interested JAAGA members had welcome luncheon party for General Hester (JAAGA honorary member) now in visiting Japan on 25th August at GH Ichigaya.　Though he was in very tight schedule, he kindly spared time to us.　Eleven JAAGA members participated to this party, included Takegouchi JAAGA former president, president Toutake and chairman Hirose.　It　was so pleasant party because we knew well each others.　General talked about his stories of wing commander in Misawa, commander of 5 Air Force and commander of PACAF with nostalgia.　Time passed in no time.　Next month　JAAGA will send the delegation to AFA annual convention in US, they will visit Lackland AFB. TX, which Gen.Hester lives near.　We promised to meet in Texas and ended this luncheon party.
