The keynote speak was astronaut Norman Mineta, former Congressman and Secretary of Transportation for the Bush Administration..   It was a grand event and raised funds for a worthy cause.   At the dinner, World War II Veteran Ted Wakai sat at Mr. Takata's table.  He is now 92 and his mind is still sharp.  Mr. Takata considers it an honor to have met and talking to this extraordinary man.  For those interested in supporting this foundation go to goforbroke.org.</span></p>
