My husband who died two years ago after 57 years of marriage graduated with a Masters in Civil Engineering, 1950. My daughter, Christine, was born at U. Hospital, Ann Arbor, and was all set to attend U-M when she won a Distinguished Alumni Scholarship at MSU. However, she did return to Michigan for Medical School. She has had an outstanding career with Kaiser here in CA. My younger daughter, Susan, also graduated from U-M in 1973 with a Bachelor
in Education.

I now have four grandchildren scattered in four different
colleges. Christine’s daughter, Linden, received a scholarship from Oberlin and is there. Her son, David, will go to Macalester in St. Paul in the fall. Susan’s children are at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and RIT in Rochester, New York.

My husband was the structural designer of the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.

president of the Tucson-based National Law Center for Inter-American Free Trade (NLCIFT), Evo DeConcini Professor of Law at the University of Arizona and a recognized expert on international commercial law will host high officials of the government of Honduras in Tucson for an all-day working meeting on May 3 at the NLCIFT. This private meeting is to address a range of issues affecting Honduras’ economic development, focusing on implementation of modern secured transactions law and practice – which make credit both more available and more affordable – and on the operational procedures for handling and marketing agricultural products, including use of software and electronic communications for payments, transport, customs, etc. The expectation is that procedures and practices identified will also prove useful to other countries in Central America, especially as they move to implement the recent U.S.-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR).
The visitors will include Honduras’ Under Secretary of the Presidency Ricardo Arias, Secretary of Industry and Commerce Elizabeth Azcona; representatives of the Chamber of Commerce in Tegucigalpa, the capital, Carlos Bueso and Yolanda Betancourt; and Marco Bogran and Andy Medlicott from the Millennium Challenge Corporation in Honduras. In addition, the International Financial Services Association (IFSA) will be sending its CEO Dan Taylor and Vice President for member representation Katja Lehr. NLCIFT Founder and President, Dr. Boris Kozolchyk, and NLCIFT Research Attorney Marek Dubovec will make a presentation on secured lending in the Inter-American context, including work at the Organization of American States, where NLCIFT attorneys participated as advisers. Bi‑national working groups will be designated to propose procedures and documentation essential for Honduras and Central America’s economic development.

Ann-Nora Hirami, a Plymouth (Michigan) High School social studies teacher, delivered the commencement address at North Hollywood (California) High School on Jun 29, 2006. She saluted her father, Soichiro “Pat” Hirami (then age 80, class of 1944) of Livonia, Michigan, and uncle, Akira Hirami (then age 78, class of 1945) of Denver, Colorado, who were awarded diplomas they were denied more than 60 years earlier. Their family was taken from their home and incarcerated at the Manzanar Concentration Camp for 3-1/2 years. Ann-Nora’s theme was, “There is nothing beyond forgiveness.” Her father, Soichiro, was named co-valedictorian, and together with her uncle marched in cap and gown and led the Class of 2006 in the processional.
