Okinawa 1945

Gabe is in a play called Okinawa 1945. It is the play that his school is going to be performing at the Fringe Festival in Scotland (after I pay the last payment of $2,248 today!- yikes!), Went to see it on Saturday night.

It is sobering - the story of high school girls in Okinawa who are studying to be nurses. They are forced to take care of injured Japanese soldiers hiding in caves on their island. It is a very sad story.

Here is a picture of Gabe - he's a Japanese soldier. (top right)




Its kind of a dream-come-true role for him.
He gets to where a uniform and carry a gun (and shoot it!)
