Weekly Journal Archives
www.kuraoka.org
Our weekly family journals are intended as living history. So, we have resisted archiving them in any way other than printing them out and putting them into a three-ring binder for our own amusement. Besides which, we don’t want our family journals to be archived publicly.
But, a few journal entries are significant, and we wanted to make them available, if only so we can vicariously revisit various times in our lives.

Archive of family portraits from the top of our weekly
journal pages. From early 1998 to January 21, 2002, our weekly journal was hosted on a
free web host that didn't permit picture uploading; we moved it to our own server to
eliminate the pop-ups, and at the same time uploaded our portraits (such as they are). You
can see we’ve made some attempt to keep them current.
