I respect Toru Matsumoto. He was an English educator and Ph.D. in English Education. He started NHK Radio English Conversation program from 1951 for 16 years. I respect him because he was a pioneer of English Conversation program in Japan and many ESS's were organized throughout Japan. My English study started with a 50 yen NHK radio text-book when I was in high school. Thereafter, I could make the best use of English conversation skills in an American company until retirement. Without meeting his English program, my life must have been very limited to domestic and local activities.
