I travel to Japan to work with people and their animals 5 times a year.

The earthquake hit 30 minutes before my plane landed in Tokyo.  Eventually we were sent to Sapporo and spent many, many hours there.  I was able to get a ticket to Tokyo and join Japanese friends there.  I had planned to stay as I had a lecture to deliver and a lot of work in the Hiroshima area.  Then the nuclear incident developed.  I decided to return home.

Now I am working to raise money for the animals and spend most of my working day setting things up and connecting with friends and working associates in various parts of Japan.
