December Photos

 

December Photo 1   December Photo 2

 

According to Roseann Yoshida, this picture was taken at her first VJCC Bonen Kai in November 2000 at the Ramada Inn.

Thanks to Jim Akioka, almost every head in the pictures has been identified. The line dancers, as led by Tosh Aiboshi, holding the microphone, are: (front row, left to right) Irene Matsumura, Roseann Yoshida, Ken Sogabe, Kelvin Uyeda, Dave Hirota and June Akioka. The next two rows have a lot of shy dancers trying to hide from the camera. See if you can spot Mari Tamura, Randy Tamura, Sue Sogabe, Star Delux, Jun Oyama, Kay Kawano, Sarah Falsey, Shinobu Koda and Joyce Hirota. In the far background Eric Inouye might be dancing… or he might have escaped back to his seat.
