"Me" Too in Japan is for anyone who is interested in modern Japanese culture, society, and more, especially from a gay point of view. Author William Ballard attempts to show how living in Matsuyama, Japan, from 1985 to 2002 affected and changed him forever. About the Author William Ballard was born in Fargo, North Dakota, in 1936. His accomplishments include graduating summa cum laude from Tufts University in 1958, receiving a certificate in Chinese Translation and Interpretation from USN (1958-1963), and receiving his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1969. He has taught at Georgia State University and Ehime University. William has one daughter, Arielle. He currently resides in San Diego.

One couple, with their friends, climb the Adirondack 46, and more, of New York State's highest mountains. Developing a love for backpacking and camping they also complete the Northville-Placid Trail (over 120 miles) and go on to the Long Trail in Vermont and the Appalachian Trail in several states. The author shares experiences on the trails with gear deficiencies, inclement weather, injuries and animal encounters, balanced with glorious mountaintop sunrises and sunsets, sandy beaches on remote lakes and evening comradely around the campfire with the occasional cup of "Twang". Mr. Ballard is a graduate engineer and physicist making his home with his wife and business partner of over fifty years in Central New York.
