Hiroshima, Japan

Mina writes: How did I spend my summer vacation? With my husband and sons in Hiroshima, Japan for the anniversary of the Atomic Bombing, “Peace Day”. We shared the day with our Japanese hosts, the wonderful Nogamis, and 60,000 other Peaceful People from all over the world! That’s me in front of the A-Bomb Dome, an eerie remnant of that terrible day. The rest of the city is completely rebuilt and modern. I highly recommend the Peace Museum (we should have one here). I also recomment reading the autobiographical comic novel “Barefoot Gen” by Keiji Nakazawa. He was seven when the A-Bomb exploded over his hometown. A survivor, “Hibakusha”, a witness, a great artist and story teller, his hero, little Gen, really tells it as it is, War is Hell, especially for children. No More Hiroshimas! Your peacenik pal and (TV’s) Wife Swapper, Mina — Peace out.
