February 15

Tsurumi Okatani 'Mariko' Kessler was born 15 February 1931

Mariko was my mother-in-law, the mother of Alan Kessler.

She married Larry Kessler, an American GI stationed in Japan. 

Alan was born in Japan in 1954. When he was still a baby they relocated to the United States.

Alan's passport.

This is the only other picture I have of Alan's father Larry Kessler.
