Can you tell us about yourself?
I was professor of educational methodology in Japan for almost 40 years.
I play the guitar, ukulele and bass fiddle. I love music, coffee and cycling.
I’m currently writing an analysis of Dr. Klein’s loving letters to his wife between 1910 to 1920. He is the founder of Nagoya Gakuin University, which was founded in 1887. This is the university I served for 27 years.
What do you like best about being a carer?
An immediate appreciation, whether verbally given or not, for my service. In education, you would receive appreciation only after many years, if that.
What do you like best about the company?
Flexibility and willingness to give you a chance to support people.
He also shared a cartoon made by his daughter. An uncanny resemblance!
