Correspond with citizens of Tsuiki Japan in English

[kfannon]

I was a S/Sgt. in the United States Air Force and stationed at Tsuiki AB from January 1951 to June 1952. I would like to be able to correspond with some of the current citizens in English if possible. I did find a URL for Tsuiki Fukuoka. I responded, but the message came back because of translation problems. Any help that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. My personal URlL is www.keithfannon.netfirms.com

Hi Keith,

I'm not sure you will have much luck here since most of the Japanese members are young. I was stationed close to your old base in Fuk at a base called Hakata Base. It was an old Japanese sea plane base from WWII. It was staffed by all branches of the service, including Canada. We used it foe electronic surveilance of Russia and No. K and Nam. I traveled in and out of your old bace in old DC9's a lot. I was there in 71&72. I tried a site for Japanese pen-pals to get someone from the old days, but the 2 people I conected with weren't old enough to remember the bases. You might try buying a program like "Easy Translator 4" or similer. You can then go to a Japanese site, click a button and change it all for reading in English, it'll be hammered English, be warned. I'm guessing from my experience that Japanese people old enough to remember the good ol days don't have computers. Good luck in your search !!

Just a side note: You can try using some online translation tools like the Fish, for texts and websites. It will save you a few bucks.

Good luck in your quest.
