Dear Frank, All the best for the New year! How are things going in the land of the Rising Sun? I must say, I really envy you getting that Tokyo gig with the company. Somehow they overlooked me on that one and I am forced to slug it out here through another frigid and snowy Montreal winter. Brrr! I heard through the grapevine that business is going well there. Rumor has it that you guys are just about to close a big deal with the Japanese government for an M-750 Simulator. Great news! Good for the company and good for you. Keep up the great work! I am quite busy these days on the Branscombe Systems project. We are entering Phase Two now, and that is expected to run for three years, at least. Frank Schinddler is Senior project Manager and I am Team Leader of the Embedded Systems group. I am enjoying it so far. Whether I'll feel the same way in three years, I'm not sure. By then I might be ready to join you in Japan. I'm still kicking butt in the squash court and am managing to get two or three matches per week. What about squash in Japan? Have you been able to play any over there? Are there even squash courts? I suppose since you are in Tokyo there must be some. Let me know. I have to go now and attend to family duties. Jonathan needs some help with his homework and Angie wants me to fix something in the kitchen. You single guys traveling the world sure are lucky! Keep me posted whenever you can. I really enjoy receiving your letteres and getting the details of your life in Japan ch buddy​
