I WILL NEVER FORGET MY FIRST TIME IN YOKOHAMA. THIS WAS THE CENTER OF THE CITY IN 1961, THE ENTERTAINMENT AREA. THE BEST CLUB IN YOKOHAM AT THE TIME WAS "THE PEANUTS CLUB" WHERE ROCK AND ROLL WAS FEATURED ON AN ELEVATOR PLATFORM RISING AND LOWERING THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND NIGHT 24 HOURS A DAY. THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING HAPPENING AT THE PEANUTS CLUB. NUMEROUS STUDENTS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL MET AND HELPED EACH OTHER LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH AND JAPANESE. THERE WERE NO AGE RESTRICTION ON ENTERING. MOST OF THE LOCAL STUDENTS WERE BETWEEN 16 AND 20, EITHER IN THEIR LAST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL OR IN COLLEGE. MANY ROMANCE BEGAN AT THE PEANUTS CLUB. ANOTHER MEETING ESTABLISHMENT WAS A COFFEE HOUSE CALLED WEIN, A SOPHISTICATED CLUB THAT SPECIALIZED IN COFFEES AND WINE. CONVERSATIONS AT THE WEIN WERE USUALLY BETWEEN THOSE IN ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS. BOTH ESTABLISHMENTS WERE POSITIVE AND UPBEAT AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE BETWEEN AMERICAN SERVICE PERSONNEL AND THE FUTURE GENERATION OF JAPANESE EDUCATORS AND ENTREPENEURS IN THE BOOMING RECONSTRUCTION OF A POST WAR NATION.
