In 1955 the cities of St. Paul and Nagasaki formed a sister city relationship. In 1975, the Rotary International Convention was held in Minneapolis. At that time, Jim Aldrich of St. Paul and Mitsuharu Iwanaga of Nagasaki met and initiated the sister club relationship between the Rotary Club of Nagasaki and the Rotary Club of St. Paul. That relationship has been ongoing for the last 46 years. The clubs have sent Rotary Exchange students to each other for those 46 years, with a brief halt for Covid. Club members have also visited. Nagasaki last visited St. Paul in 2015. St. Paul was planning on visiting Nagasaki in 2020 to celebrate 45 years of friendship. We all know what happened to travel in that year. Now is a new year and St. Paul is planning on visiting Nagasaki this October. Past President Al Zdrazil will tell us more about this history and the upcoming trip to Nagasaki.
