Kaga-sensei, you were one of the best teachers I ever had at Carleton. Your ability to teach Japanese was incomparable. Your strengths and gifts for teaching showed when Carleton students like me went to Doshisha University on the junior year Associated Kyoto Program. You prepared us SO well. But, I remember equally well the good humor and energy you brought to every class. It was infectious! Congratulations on a well-deserved retirement. Enjoy!
