To Japanese Pen-pals : Bernice Brown Hello, My name is Bernice Brown, my friends call me "Bernie". I am a 66 year old female, now retired. I enjoy meeting new people and corresponding with other people. When I was in high school, in 1949, I was corresponding with a school teacher in your country by the name of Takashi Yoshikawa. When I married and moved away from home I lost his address and was very saddened by that. At one time I was married to a man in the US Air Force. We traveled and lived in Taiwan from 1959 - 1961. We also lived on Okinawa from 1965 - 1970. While on Okinawa, I taught conversational English to a group of young people that were in a technical school where they were learning to do various jobs so they could either work in English speaking jobs or some were planning to go to the United States to various universities. I also learned from them. Now I am living in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in a 12 story apartment building for seniors, and have retired from my job as a bookkeeper for attorneys in a small law office. My favorite things to do is to read books, meet other people, and to cook. I enjoy foods from all countries and want to learn to cook more of them. In my next correspondence, I will tell you more about the area in which I live. I hope to hear from others with some of my interests. Sincerely, Bernice (Bernie) Brown | |
