Historical NoteReturn to Top
Kay D. LaBarre class of 1966 was a participant in the first Lewis & Clark overseas program to Japan. LaBarre was a part of an experiemental group in which freshmen lived in Japan in the Fall of their first semester in college. There was a two-day orientation for the study abroad program and then participants took a bus to San Francisco where they would depart by ship to Hawaii and then to Japan. The trip leaders of the Japan program were Professor Kenneth Johnson and Dr. Hideo Hishimoto. In the beginning of the trip, LaBarre stayed with a homestay family in Ashiya, Japan from Spetember 28-October 30, 1962. LaBarre became good friends with the Mizoguchi family's daughter, Namiko Mizoguchi (20-years-old) during LaBarre's homestay. The rest of the freshmen trip consisted of a study tour in Tokyo, Japan from November 1-14 and then ended with an intensive study period in Kyoto, Japan from November 15-January 5. After the program, LaBarre kept in touch with Namiko Mizoguchi and also participated in an abroad trip reunion in 1991.
