In ten short months, 50 years will have passed since your hand-written message prompted American forces to return the Misaki Lab to the biology students of Japan. Who but you could have imagined that your plea, brush-stroked on wrapping paper, would have led to such reasonable action by an occupation force? After the War, you and Jean nursed me back to health in your Nagai home, and then sustained me with scholarship. It was the start of a new life for Kayo and Endo-san and myself when we finally all reassembled in your and Jean's second floor laboratory overlooking Abura-tsubo Bay. After Jean successfully negotiated with the armed forces to return the land that had been taken from local farmers by the Japanese military, you brought her back into the lab. There, using the same phase contrast microscope that she had brought to you after her first trip back to the States. Jean subsequently discovered the acrosomal reaction. By then she had arranged a fellowship for me to do my graduate work at Princeton. That allowed me to visit Woods Hole and the MBL, where I met Dan Mazia, Don Costello, Suzie and Burr Steinbach. L. V. Heilbrunn, Doc Chambers, Marion Osterhout, and Jim Graham, all of whom I'd heard so much about from you and Jean. I remember so much from our days together: Your first class at Musashi, for instance, where, perched on the lectern you surprised us by asking "Now, what shall we talk about today?" You challenged three rascals in our lab session (Tsuruta, Tamiya, and me) to "figure out how impulse is transmitted along Lillie's passivated iron wire model of nerve ; I remember as if it were yesterday the exciting discussion and experiments
