Is it still there?

Yes it is and growing up larger.

Not your business at least.

Men of mystery in the US.

Probably, these guys are also men of mystery today.
No way as education at school is always like that

It's a punchline from an old joke.

Oh, have I hit his stomach?

Thanks for your interest, stug3.
I can understand that your suggestion is a very good idea for academic researchers but it does not look realistic for me to introduce these many boring picutures which occupy 90% of them even with my translation/explanation for each shot. I hear that Japan National Diet Library is preparing to release them with English explanation in the near future. Membership is requested for browsing and is also limited to people living in Japan at the moment but this will be lifted then.

I agree with Stug. I have really learned a lot from this thread. I think you would find an audience outside of academia as well.

And as you joked, people today really don't know about their own history, much less than another.

I remember a member of this forum once asked me to be his free tour guide again and again when I said "No".
I can't understand why this kind of one-way communication sometimes happen.
Does this rely on the culture or the personarity?
Anyone please advise.

That is a great compliment to you but obviously that person has an over inflated view of himself/herself and thinks you have time to waste pandering to their needs

Thanks for your kind advice, MiTasol.
I will ignore such a case as ever.

Standing in front of his namesake, Edmund Fitzgerald, chairman of the board of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., looks pleased after he was honored in a ceremony aboard ship on July 22, 1959.

Edmund Fitzgerald on a nice sunny day.

RIP Gordon Lightfoot
