Me in 1954 in Kamakura, Japan in front of The Great Buddha. A huge bronze figure made with sheets of bronze held together by iron straps on the inside. There is a back door and you could pay a tiny amount and walk inside and look around. I never went inside. I just wish I still had a stomach like this today. But, back in 1954 I never even thought about 2015 or me being alive to experience my 80th birthday – now going to be 82 this coming October 25th.
