Great story! As I was on hand when Kay picked out the sanke, I know how frustrating the rest of the story must have been. It truly was a very touching moment for her.
The fact that the dealer who handled your shipping did so in the manner you mention goes to show what a class act they really are. So, now Kay is back home(?) in Michigan. I bet she thinks of her sanke everyday and wishes she could enjoy it in person! That was one helluva fish. As a side note, my maruten kohaku from Igarashi, that I bought at the same time, is doing very good as well. Also, my showa that was grown out for a year came in in excellent condition and is doing very well. She went into the mud at 24" and came home at 29"! Great body and she still has a ways to go to finish. That's my job and I truly hope I'm up to the task.
Thanks for the anecdote. It's always great hearing success stories.
Are you coming to the Sakai Seminar this year. Hope to see you then if you are.
Regards
Mike
