he would have said, "Domo arigato, domo arigato gozaimashita!": Thank you, thank you very much!
Special thanks to the teachers at Hardin County High School for helping to find gifts to give to the students, teachers and host families that I will meet in Japan. We found some t-shirts from Tiger Radio and FBLA and also some Elvis pins yesterday...his hips even sway!! They will be perfect!!! I'm going to contact the birthplace of Elvis in Tupelo and Graceland in Memphis to see what they can contribute. I think Elvis memorabilia will be fitting since Japan's former leader is a huge Elvis fan and I have lived in both Tupelo and Memphis. In case you missed it, Bush invited Koizumi, Japan's former Prime Minister, to visit Graceland a couple of years ago when I was living in Memphis. He's apparently a big Elvis fan and even had a statue erected of Elvis in Japan. See youtube video below. I think Koizumi is such a cute little man!!!

Anna-Scott wrote in her Kindergarten journal that Elvis was lucky to be born in the same town as her.
