Some thoughts from a letter from Jun Ishimoto

actually it is a messenger.

Jun mentioned he had met the head of Yokohama Christian School

and signed a contract of his money back from the school

after she had reported to the authority about his daughter's case and school tuition was refunded.

It was done in business like.

Jun mentioned that the Brothers of St. Mary's International School 

had more of heart into any cases that took place in school and not

business like the Christian School. She said Jun is in the past of "international

schools", today it is different.よくいいいよる

I thought St. Mary's were business only and only location and good facilities.

This was my illusion, it is inside that counts., taking care of the students as a human being

with heart of compassion and thought.

I just met with Dennis Yang and listen to some major issues that Kermit had totally forgot

(maybe he did unconsciously) but Dennis knew in details of the Johnny's associate like 

problem that was taking place in  '70's SJC and contrast with SMIS Brothers in other side of the river.

I thought the Brother was a good teacher and met him with my wife in Sapporo and supported his return  and even went to his funeral at Gyosei Chapel; but with the Johnny's case I thought I made a wrong view.  Even  you are a good teacher, if you are not a good human being, it has no meaning. Now I realize it.

I always thought SJC defeat  was physical building and facilities difference, it was more than that.

Now, same night I heard about YCS taking over most of YCS and that was going to be a divine worship problem for the, but after reading Jun's letter and listening to Dennis at Staba around noon, I think is more than that. It is very unfortunate that people can not be humble to open their minds and listen to others.

事件の問題よりもその対処の仕方に大変申し訳なく思っています。誠意思ってやってもらいたかったです。

As an educator, I should really be careful how I should be and do my duty as an educator.

More than that I really really regret very very much that I had introduce the Ishimoto family to  a "Christian School" which they were not and I  am very sorry I did.

I hope this lesson will be remember in my life to live accordingly.
