A great and successful 60 years has passed by for you and now it will only get better.  Thank you for your kindness and generosity.  You have given me a lot of encouragement, a lot of support, and lot of confidence.  I really appreciate it.  You&#8217;re a surfer now so you will only get younger and younger, and stronger and stronger.   Let&#8217;s keep on surfing and keep on living the great life in Hawaii.  See you in the water!<br \/>\n**this photo sequence taken with my $20 fisheye on my iphone.  priceless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the reason i went to japan was to celebrate a special kanriki 60th birthday with Inaida-san. it&#8217;s been 2 years since we met and i&#8217;ve learned so much since.
