In the House: Tono’s Tennessee friend Parker J. Allen

Ryuko-san, left, dropped by with Tono’s Tennessee friend Parker J. Allen, who’s visiting this week. We had the good fortune to meet Parker, along with a lot of other fine folks from Chattanooga, Tennessee, only days after Chizuko and I first arrived in Tono last summer at the event where Chattanooga and Tono were officially joined as sister cities.  Here’s a brief clip from that event:

Here’s a photo from that event, that’s Ryuko holding the banner. Directly above her, Strat Parrot, and to his left, Mayor of Chattanooga Andy Burke.

We’ll do our best to keep Parker caffeinated while he’s here. Here’s more about the friendship between Chattanooga and Tono:
