JAAGA held farewell golf for Captain Kim Crawford at Tama-Hills Golf Course on 11st July. She has contributed lots to JAAGA activities as point of contact of Fifth Air Force on SPORTEX. She will assume new assignment in CONUS coming August. 
  Secretariat Hirose, Ishiguro, Ataka, Enoki, Bandoh, Yamamoto and Minamoto from JAAGA and Lt.Col. Michael Green, Cap.Gray Moore and Cap.Pat Champy from 5th Air Force joined to this farewell event. At breakfast meeting, Mr.Hirose presented a decorated Japanese dancing fan to Kim-san with appreciation words. In spite of rainy season, we didn't have any rain at all on that day. It was really good day for farewell golf. Kim-san looked so satisfied because she could get par at 3rd hole (par 3, distance 147 yards). It's a deep impressive event for Kim-san, because SPORTEX which she was in charge is a chance to begin golf. She said she would go to golf classroom after returning to US.. During luncheon, all Japanese side attendants gave deep thanks on Kim-san's achievement. There the massage from JAAGA president to Cap.Crawford was conveyed by secretariat Enoki, the message is "We deeply appreciate Captain Crawford's contribution to JAAGA." Lastly Cap.Crawford expressed her gratitude to this event and said goodbye. Lt.Col.Michael Green will take in charge of SPORTEX. (Reported by secretariat Minamoto)
