Thirty years ago today, an event that can’t be forgotten and shouldn’t be forgotten occurred in Kobe and its vicinity. Ten years ago, I posted both English and Japanese entries of what I had experienced, witnessed, and thought at that time; you can read them below:

A Loss of A Classmate
This afternoon, I got an email notifying me of the death of a classmate who studied together at our laboratory when we were university students. According to the email, last Sunday he suddenly had a stroke related to tyep I diabetes he had suffered from, and passed away. He was as old as I.
It is the first time I have lost a classmate with whom I shared the same memories at school. It is surprising and regrettable.
I can’t attend his funeral and say goodbye to him because the funeral hall is too far from where I live, but instead, I sent a telegram of condolence, and I’ll keep his memory in mind for life.
