Michael, This site is terrific!

Hope all is well. We enjoyed you and your family's visit this past summer. Just had a Thanksgiving Day family dinner. Bobby, Pam & Kevin, Steven & Zoe, Keri & Tim with dog Athena, my folks Tony & Lydia and my sister Loretta with husband Charlie were here to share a 23 pounder with all the trimings!

Feel free to post on our webpage any or all of the pictures you took of us while visiting last summer. We will try to get a digital camera for Christmas this year and include some action shots of Justin doing backflips and arials on his wakeboard.

Hope you and the kids had a great Thanksgiving - and HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all who read this note!! Peter (husband of Mary)

Hello all! I am Mari Ann daughter of Tom (son of Joe and Maxie). I just found out about the site, thanks to Edward (who actually told my sister Sharla about it). It's very neat to see family history. I am living in Stillwater with my husband Frank Cunningham (10 years in July). We have built a little house on 4 acres southwest of town. I would love to see/or hear from anyone!! My email is [email protected]. Kudos to Mike for setting this up! I'm sure we have never met; but you have done a really excellent job! Love to all and take care. P.S. I think my name is spelled wrong on the family listing page. No big deal, just don't let Dad know since (as I have recenlty learned) he came up with my name-spelling and all.

5/28/00 Mike, Mom (Margaret Nishimuta Cavnar) and I spent 1 1/2 hrs on your site the other night. We loved it. We have a lot of information to add to it. Also, did you see the PBS special on 5/l9 about the 442nd? I made a video tape of it if you want it. Congratulations on your engagement. Becky Cavnar Giszczak ([email protected])

I accidentally found the Nishimuta web site and was very impressed with it. I grew up with Ted & Tom at Schlegel (near Cushing) and was interested in reading about them and their siblings. As I expanded my viewing of the site, I read the story of Mike Nishimuta's trip to Japan and found it to very interesting. I felt like I was there. I just wanted to say that you have a great site and should be very proud of it. I encourage you to maintain and expand your family history. Many things will be lost for the younger ones if a good record is not kept.

Best Regards, Wayne O'Kelley

Message from South Africa:

We are very sad to say goodbye to Mary Elizabeth Nishimuta for the second time!

After exploiting our natural heritage (i.e. good South Africa Wines) the country will be experiencing a shortage over the next few weeks, while in Atlanta, the Nishimuta family has there wine-tasting festival.

Mary has shared our national holiday - 'Women's Day' with us for the past two years and we certainly hope that she will come again next year.

The legend of the Nishimuta's has reached the shores of South Africa. We hope that y'all will someday too come and experience an African adventure and also embrace it with such vigour, uninhibited fun and occassional reckless abandonment.

More information on Mary or other travel tips, just call: Angie Ho Coca-Cola Southern Africa (+27-11) 644-0574 (+27-82) 496-8745

Thanks Mike, We are greatly enjoying the Nishimuta web page. Congratulations, Mike and Catherine... enjoyed the pictures. The Aug 11 note is a friend of our daughter, Mary who as a senior in college (Georgia Tech) has had tremendous opportunities of travel in her co-op job with Coca Cola International. Two trips to Africa.... now she wants us all to go. She returned Aug. 12 and brought a bit of Africa back with her... wines from the African wineries. We will have a family wine tasting party on Labor Day weekend. Nishimuta's come to Georgia for a taste. We still have 3 daughters in college, two sons graduated, oldest one Kevin is married to Ena and live in Huntsville,AL with 2 children ( a 3rd on due in Feb). Our youngest, another James Nishimuta, is a senior in high school. Let's hear from some more Nishimuta's from all around the world. Love, Bea Nishimuta, wife to John Nishimuta (eldest of Frank's family)

Michael -

Great site!

Your Mom was my den mother in Lawton, OK during the mid-60's (St. Barbara parish). My father Joe Gerik and my mother Margie Gerik knew your parents. Mom died in 1977 and Dad died in 1997. My sisters Anna and Kathy still live in Lawton. I live in Wichita,KS and have worked for Boeing for the past 22 years.

Please give your family my regards.

Great website!

My name is Cory Pearson and I grew up in Shorecliffs--San Clemente, California. I was friends with Tara and Tracy until I moved away in 1977. My old friends and I are putting together a reunion for the community of Shorecliffs and would like to get in touch with Tara and Tracy.

Hello, This is Chris Idenouye from Edmonton, Alberta Canada. My grandfather was Ichiro Idenoue who we think was the brother to Yae Idenoue in your family tree. Do you know if this is correct?????? When I was born in Toronto in 1950 I was registered as Chris Ken Idenouye. For some reason the Y was added in the name and we have carried it forward with my children. I have been interested in my roots and have just recently found the possible link to your family tree. Hope to hear from you or someone in the family tree. Chris Idenouye [email protected]

I was adopted by a Canadian family. On my birth records it states my name only as Baby Girl Utsunomiya. I have been trying for a long time to reach my birth mother, or birth siblings. My birth mother was only known on the forms as ____________Utsunomiya. She would have met my birth father in Edmonton, Alberta in 1961. If you or anyone you know has information about the Utsunomiya family and specifically my birth mother, I would appreciate a general comment on these pages. Thank you.

Wow this site is terriffic! I think it's great that you keep track of the history of your family. I can't believe you have photographs that go so far back in age! This site makes me want to make one for my family too! P.S.-My english teacher from this past year was Bobby Josheph Cavnar II. I was trying to get in contact with him with the address on this site but it didn't work. If anyone knows his new/correct e-mail please post it on the site somewhere or e-mail me at [email protected] ! Thanks a bunch. Danielle L.

Neat website! neat to know that the Utsunomiya family tied into the Nishimuta family! I am (or at least at birth was) part of the Utsunomiya family (maybe not this one). Today is my birthday-the 13th of August, and while I guess it would be neat to connect with the Utsunomiya side on my birthday (I was adopted, you see), I'll still think about being connected to that side!

Hi I'm not a family member but found your story very interesting. I'm (British born) Japanese & recently moved to Lucar, Almeria with my partner (Ben) and baby (Alissa). I don't recognise your grandmother's surname but I thought you might be interested to know that some people here still bear a strong family resemblance to her. I think it's great that you are all keeping in touch and have this website. Much of the village here is unchanged, if you would like some photos for your website, we would be happy to send you some.
