    Now is nearing the time for cherry blossoms to bloom here in Japan.  My thoughts travel back to 1975 and my first Japanese spring.  This is my story:My only class of the day, a morning English Conversation Class, had just finished and I was about to go home when my Japanese boss approached.  After some initial greetings, he continued in his almost perfect English, "Ueno Park, Tokyo....
