| “Hi. My father and a few of his fishing buddies were able to identify all but one of the people in this picture. From left to right they are: Harris Takeda, Tom Endo, George Matsuzaki, Thomas Lee, Mas Nobunaga, mystery person, and Mike Murakami. Hopefully, someone knows who the mystery person is! My father believes this picture was taken during the VJCC Festival in 2005. These men are members of the Venice Fishing Club and posed for this picture while deep frying chicken wings. Notice their matching aprons! I always read the newsletter when I visit my parents and enjoyed seeing the picture. Thank you.” - Julie (Matsuzaki) Kaku | ![]() |
“Hi Joyce and Dave! I received an email identifying everybody but the younger gentleman standing second from the right. He's wearing the safari style hat. Do you know who he is?” - Gail
“That's Jack Kurihara, VJCC President, helping us out!” - Joyce Hirota
