22 years ago today , I was looking for old friends in Japan. I happened to come across the JREF Forum. I didn't find any old friends , but sure made a lot of new ones here . Being retired and spending a lot of time on my computer each day ;



I'm lucky to have JREF to occupy my time with always something interesting going on. I really appreciate all the work Thomas and the moderators do to keep JREF going.

I think it's fair to say we appreciate you, too, Frank, complete with shenanigans, jests and jokes, and wild anecdotes - many of them about your time in Japan. Are you ready for another 22 years of this?

And I cannot believe the forum existed for almost two years WITHOUT YOU BEING ON BOARD!

As a newcomer to a seasoned contributor, it's great to meet you, Grandpa Frank! And thanks for reading my articles (don't think I haven't noticed )

22 years? That's before I was born

It really is a fun site, enriched by your presence and positivity!
