February 10, 2003.
The letter arrived in mailing from Jadon which has always contacted me by E-Mail.
Jadon is Persian Cattery in the United States
which has made NW every year in the past several years.
In the envelope, the lettr, one photograph, and copy of a pedigree were contained.

” Flip is due to have kittens on the 8th of Feb.　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　If there is a nice one, she is yours ! "

The start which Jadon and I began exchange was one letter written by me to them
I was love at first sight at the blue boy who had decorated the cover of the CFA issue ALMANAC.
His name is
”CFA GC.NW, Jadon Potomac”
Even now, I do not forget. April 3, 1999.
I posted the letter to Jadon.

"Please yield me a great boy like Potomac."

It was decided that a quarantine period will be needed also for the cat
which enters Japan from the appointed other country from January, 2000.
Before it started, I was just going to think that the boy from outside will be greeted decisively.

"It is natural that a reply does not come mostly. "

Since I was hearing it such, although it was giving up by the half,
Fax reached me from Jadon the early morning of April 23, 1999.

”Black male is available.”

It was written that they were invited to the cat exhibition of SOGO of Kinshicho,
and they will visit to Japan together with Potomac in May.

”I am not sure how far you live from Tokyo,
but if it is not too far perhaps we could meet while we are there.”

Can you imagine how glad I was?

Cattery Jadon is three persons, Donna is gentle and great mother,
Jack is dandy and unique father, and Susan is an intellectual and beautiful their daughter.
Donna and Susan came to Japan then and I was able to meet.
They listened to my poor English hard.
And it was decided to have yielded :

”Jadon Johnny come lately”

They made me hold Potomac.
Very firm Body and beautiful eye color were impressive.
Ｊｏｈｎｎy is a full brother to Potmac.

They talked to me that mother Donna and father Jack lived in Japan after the war,
and held the marriage ceremony in Japan.
I was glad to hear that the cat will be yielded to favorite Japan and they told me that it was glad.

Johnny came to Japan on June 27, 1999.
Since I did not have PC yet those days, connection was a telephone and facsimile.
Even now, facsimile which communicated then is kept carefully altogether.
It is my important treasure.

Although it was Johnny which I received as a husband of Duchess,
but Duchess took the womb in the trouble of childbirth.
There are another boy in my cattery, so a girl is absolutely required for my cattery.
I consulted with Susan on wanting a girl in February, 2002.
I was not easily blessed with a regrettable thing at my kitten.
Susan reported a recent state by e-mail very sincerely.
And the letter of the beginning this page reached me from Donna on February 10, 2003.

The enclosed photograph is the mother cat Flip.

"GC. NW. Jadon Comefly With Me Of Kenkat"

It was decided that BlueCream girl Tippy of the wish will come to my cattery.

Tippy is four months although Johnny has been airlifted as cargo in ten months.
Since I might be worried at the time of Johnny, I decided to go to greet decisively Tippy.
The United States after a long time ... Moreover, East Coast was the place visited for the first time.
It was very a hard schedule, but I spent the pleasant time which was very substantial.

I appreciate from the heart Susan, Donna, and Jack which were treated warmly.
I wish to visit to meet you, while it is near again.
