Spreading good fortune
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan -- Yahachiro Ishikawa, Fussa-Yokota Goodwill Exchange Club President, (center), Col. Jeff Newell, 374th Airlift Wing commander, (third from right) and other members of the club perform kagami biraki March 17 during the club's 20th anniversary at the officers' club. Opening a wooden cask of "celebration" sake with mallets is an ancient Japanese tradition. Following the ceremony, the sake is served freely to spread good fortune.
