Diary Entry:  April 2, 1954

"B needs p.js so badly we went to Kobe to get material.  Thought we got cotton but was rayon.  Went to luncheon for Shirley Jeffery's for Winnie Harbin & Ruth Seito.  They are going home.  Helped Teruko-san cut p.js."

"Spent most of day getting ready to go to Tokyo.  B met Clara Kessler in Kobe and helped her select a new Canon camera.  She took him to Oriental Hotel for a big steak dinner.  She goes there often because food in the Japanese home where she stays is not good even if they are wealthy."

NOTE:  I'd like to say a special thank-you today for the nice mention of the blog, a little interview and for featuring Mom's favorite flower, the camellia, on  www.puuranders.blogspot.com
