These are pretty nice and I have all(?) three packets (total 9 reels)
of Rob Oeschle work.

I forgot to mention in my nickname list a few weeks ago, that
he was refered to as the Japanese guy. He is originally from
the US but calls Japan home now.

It's kinda funny cause two years ago while waiting to meet Dr.T
at his trade fair table, there was this guy talking and buying
halogen lamps (among other things). Of course I eavesdropped, ;-)
and I learned that he came all the way from Japan! I found it
interesting and he mentioned to Dr.T, how the bulbs were cheaper
from him than buying them direct in Japan. 

Anyways two years later, I was in my room in Richmond with the
guys, when this man pays us a visit during the room hopping. He
looked very familiar, so I asked him if he was from Japan. He
said, "yes" and I told him I remembered him from the Rochester
convention.

A few days later at the trade fair I learned that there was some
Japanese scenic VM titles made by an American living in Japan. Of
course I suspected that these might be from Rob Oeschle and indeed
they were! The reels are mostly in Japanese but have English
descriptions as well. For those that like Japanese culture, they
are a very well done and recommendeddd!

Oh yea, the titles are Yaeyama, Miyako, and Okinawa (where I believe
Rob lives).
