This is to Bill Sexton, previous guest. We were at Fuchu Air Station 1969-1972, and I attended Chofu HS and graduated 12th grade in 1971. I also had Dr. Anastasis for Creative Writing for two years. She would buy her class diaries off base to use as journals and sent Christmas cards designed by her architect husband with her poems. She even mailed a wedding gift to me after Dad was reassigned back to the States! I also saw Led Zeppelin in concert in Japan!

Hey all, I went to Chofu Elem through 3rd grade and I think we lived in the 440s B. I had Miss Humphill and Miss Keller I believe. I also have a younger sister and brother. So many memories, many of which youfve already shared but didnft see these (just donft ask me what happened last week):
-Roller skates that went over your shoes with keys -Elvis movies and Westerns -flipping around the bars on the playground -catching cicadas -older kids made go-carts out of bicycle tires (I wanted one!) -and lots of girl drama in the court -watching The Rolling Stones on tv -the Apollo -Lttle Willy on the jukebox at the cafeteria -tiger man, Tom & jerry and the cool Japanese show that if kids sang a song they could pick a really nice toy out
My neighbors were the Wilsons, Pam, Barbara & the Craigs that I recall. Werenft we blessed to have had the good fortune to grow up this way?!

We lived on Kanto Mura from 70-73. Our court was near the back gate. I have three brothers, Butch, Rick and Mark Danley. Our Dad was in the AF Band and someone mentioned parades, Dad did plenty of those! I'm friends with Kathi Roldan (brothers Rick and Peter) and Lynda Morgan (brother Otha) and Donna Baldwin on Facebook. I saw the name Doris Sawicki on one of the posts, and I'm thinking of a pretty little girl with long, straight, dark hair with bangs, who sold beaded rings at school for ten cents apiece that she kept on a long chain. My 4th grade teacher was Miss Chesterman, 6th grade was fun and wacky Miss Matlock, and I can't remember my 5th grade teachers name, but she was thin and had blonde hair. She read Homer's Iliad, A Wrinkle in Time, and Island of the Blue Dolphins to the class. We never lacked for things to do and never missed not having television. Swimming, skating, movies, library, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts events, festivals, libraries, school field trips, camping at Tama, the BX, the "Minko Store", shopping in the little village off-base, hobby shop, bingo and dining at the "Hacienda" at the NCO club on Wednesday nights at Fuchu AS, it was a kids paradise!

Hi fellow Vikings! I lived on KantoMura and attended Chofu from 67 to 71. Had MANY wonderful experiences jumping on trains to travel around the country including EXPO 70 a couple of times. I volunteered at Tachikawa Hospital as a donut dolly , serving the wounded soldiers from Vietnam. So many great memories....sad that it's no longer there! My fav teacher was Miss Riordan the Spanish teacher. I ended up being a Spanish teacher until I retired in Washington state. I now live in Phoenix, AZ

Pamela,
I lived there the same time you did. I also stayed with a Japanese family through the Japanese girl scout exchange program. It was so fun. We lived at 607D.

Several have mentioned pictures from the elementary and middle schools. Can you please share the locations I might find the pics. I am on Chofu Rules but it seems to mainly have High School things.
