Mr. John Stewart Krecker

I have many fond memories of traveling with John in Japan. It was not uncommon that in Tokyo he´d direct the taxi driver to a more efficient route. Whenever we needed to meet, he´d specify at precise time, like 6:28 instead of 6:30. That made us prompt. Although he knew Japanese, in our meetings he´d only use Japanese greetings. Often in meetings when our Japanese hosts would think they´re privately speaking to themselves but within earshot, sometimes he´d interrupt to alert them that he understood. A few times he would not!
