There's I know...there were two Americans. Soldiers I guess.  They were dressed as civilians but I think they were soldiers.  I'd sit at the bar and the, um, the bartender I mean the lady, -- the girl said, You know Jerry-san.  I really like that one guy.  You know he keeps coming in looking at me.  And It makes me nervous but you know I really like him, you know.  So I say, Oh. Then why don't you go over and tell him.  I been teaching her all this English, you know?  She says, "Yeah but I'm kind of shy.  So she says would you please tell him for me," you know?  So I went up to him.  

That was the first time I used my so-called full, long sentences.  I says, excuse me but... It took me some time but I said, "I'm American."  And he says, "Yeah, what do you want buddy?"  And I says, I'm American.  And you are American.  I want to tell you something.  And he says, "Yeah, what?"  I says, "See that girl over there?  Sachiko, or whatever her name was.  Sachiko...or Sayuko... Anyway, I said she likes, she likes you.  He says, "Oh is that right?  God so many of the guys thinks she's fabulous.  So I really like her a lot too."  Out of them, they were too, both of them were too shy to say anything, you know. So basically what I did was fix them up. my.

So Sayuko came over and they start chatting and I was translating and all that kinda stuff and, and sitting there.  And kinda made friends with them in a way, you know.  And my English starting coming back again.  But, uh, then I went back and did my classes and she, uh disappeared.  She took...after that she never came back.  And I went to the bar and she wasn't there, so I asked one of the girls, and she was new there, you know.  So she said I think, I think she went to America.
