At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81.

Subject: John Bay proposes to Ric Hedman

It has come to my attention from unnamed sources that after all these years, John Bay has proposed to Ric Hedman, after spending many hours watching the VHS video from the "BASH AT THE RANCH". John was enthralled that Ric's body was so similar to his......a forty foot anaconda with a 1000 pound cow in the middle....

It is unclear when the nuptials are planned......Ric is too cheap to commit to a long distance phone call and John can't understand the languages outside Maine.....but I'm sure both parties will overcome those minor hardships......

I for one, was there and never saw any proposal. However I did see two unidentified guys in grass skirts in a compromising position* behind the barn that evening.
