Thank you Curt for adding to the story...oldsalt wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 4:57 pm Jan, This is so cool. Your skill as an observer continues to astound me. Your historical vignette about Hirohito's passion for marine biology strikes a nostalgic chord for me. In 1969, while convalescing from wounds, I was assigned to the naval hospital in Yokosuka, Japan. Bike riding accelerated my recovery and riding past the emperor's summer palace in Hayama was a favorite route. This site included his marine biology lab where he conducted his research. It burned down soon thereafter, but a museum built on the site includes some of the late emperor's specimens. I hope to return to Japan to reminisce. It may be worth a visit.
