The Hoff Tour of Japan

Dear Friends
Today I initiate the Hoff Tour of Japan blog. This is a backward looking blog. It will contain details of Hoff Tours from the first Grieveson Grant tour through to the last Hoff Tour.
I will be inserting photos, itineraries, company data, anecdotes and all the other stuff to make the Hoff Tour rememberance a pleasant one.
This first photo is of me with Emile and Jim Bogin. Emile used to work for Jim McAlear at Columbia in Portland (more about that Jim in later postings) and came on several tours. A couple years ago Emile called me up and we had him over to the house in Shimo Uma for nabe. Bogin was also in town for company visits so we had a nice little reunion.
Yours,
Paul Hoff
