Friends, please take a moment to read this webpage, Mariko Terasaki Miller. You often hear me complain about the conservative nature of Wyoming and how much in the boondocks it can be, but this is about a woman, who lives here, and whom I am proud to call my friend. I am espcially proud that she lives in my town.

Her Ameican mother married her Japanese father in 1931. Mariko "Mako" was born and raised in Japan for most of her life. He parents' courtship and life of dimplomacy before, during and after WWII, as well as Mako's experiences, have shaped her life's work. I think she is a shining example of a person who is out there everyday trying to make sure we remember and "teach our children well."

Thank you,
