It was a great opportunity to reconnect with fellow alumni living in the Kansai region and enjoy exchanging ideas, experiences, and a wide range of information.  It is truly inspiring to see alumni who are much more senior than I am continuing to play active roles and contribute with such energy and enthusiasm. The meeting was held, as usual, at the Chuo Denki Club, a historic building known for its Italian Renaissance-style architecture and as the place where Panasonic founder Konosuke Matsushita first presented his “Waterworks Philosophy” in 1932. Attached is a photo from June 1982, when I attended this alumni gathering for the first time as a new employee just after graduating from Waseda University and introduced myself to the members.
