Introducing Shozo Nishimura, 
both the Club Caller and Chairman of Chiyoda Square Dance Club.  
It is currently the second largest club in Tokyo, Japan!    

Shozo gave us the above impressive picture 
that was taken during its 
26th year anniversary party.  

As you probably know, the 50th National Convention 
was  held in Anaheim, California.  Well, guess what!  
Shozo, his lovely wife, Miko, and about 25 square dancers 
from Chiyoda SD Club traveled from Tokyo, Japan to California 
to be part of this awesome event.  
And they made a special stop over in San Francisco 
to attend a special hoedown that was arranged 
by Bob Elling and hosted by the 
SF Forty-Niners Square Dance Club.
  
Bob, the multi-talented Caller of that Club was highly instrumental  
in putting together that special Hoedown to welcome Shozo 
and his group who were on their way to Anaheim.  
Bob's lovely wife, Lois, even brought in 
a group of exhibition contra dancers that night.  
Wow! What an affair to remember!

His name is Mr. Iwata, 
a gentle, soft-spoken, warm individual.  
He was one of the six Square Dance Callers 
who entertained us on the night we danced at the 
Chiyoda Square Dance Club in Tokyo, Japan.  
He picked us up from our hotel in a taxi 
and took us to the square dance club.  

 He did a popular singing call 
"Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used To Do?" 
by Hank Williams!  Well, guess what!  
Bob Elling knows that singing call as well.  
So he made sure and "singing-called" it 
at the SF Forty-Niners 
special hoedown on June 23, 2001!  
Chiyoda Squares could not thank him enough 
for the good times and fun memories 
we all made that night!

       Dick and Lulu Robertson posed with Shozo Nishimura 
and his  lovely wife, Miko, above.  
It was taken at their square dance hall in Tokyo
when we visited their club a few years back. 
They are seasoned travelers and regular attendees 
of the US Square Dance National Conventions 
as well as one of the popular Las Vegas annual festivals. 
 
Shozo is an avid golfer as well.  
He was teaching easy A1 when we were in Tokyo.  
We met again in Las Vegas and danced to our hearts
delight with Wade Driver, Bronc Wise, 
and other square dance caller favorites.
Next was at the National Convention 
in hot & humid San Antonio, Texas!  
And once again, we
squared up with them in Anaheim.
