Our Family Across the Sea Mrs. Engert touring Japan with the Suzuki family. Here we are as third graders when we were corresponding with the Suzuki family. Nine years ago, when we were just little tykes in the third grade, our teacher Mrs. Delora Engert asked us if we would like to correspond with a lovely Japanese family in Tokyo. We agreed unanimously, and an air of excitement filled the room as we began our first letters to our familyf' Our family was made up of father Shigekata, mother Motoko, big brother Shgehisa, and little brother Shgekata. We corresponded faithfully all that year, the next year, and some of us are still writing today. We sent our family little knick knacks, and they sent us dainty paper swans and hand-painted pictures in return. We have treasured the memory of our family all these years, and in September we had the surprise of our lives. Just about 3:00 p.m., we heard a familiar voice say, '6Will all the members of Mrs. Engerfs third grade class who are now Seniors please come to Room 202 after school? l think l have quite a surprise for you. And weren't we surprised, for there was Shigetake Suzuki, the father of our family. Can you imagine how we felt? It was just like a dream come true. We plied him with questions about our beloved family, and he questioned us in return. We found that he is in the United States to study under a Fulbright Scholarship at the University of Michigan and is doing research Work on Old and Middle English. Meeting the father of our adopted family is a memory we shall cherish forever deep in our hearts. Mr. Suzuki, Shigekata, Mrs. Engert, Shigehisa, and Motoko.
