    Dear adyskid

    This is the only information that I have on this person.

    You could write to the current incarnation of the company but I do not know if records still exist - much was destroyed during the Japanese Occupation during WWII - or if anyone can find them.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for everything. I guess I need to search at National Archives.
    Btw, he is my great grandfather.
