<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 265157, member: 88"]I have these 2 souvenir fans that had the menu for the evening written on the back. I have not been able to determine for sure who the party's guest of honor was since no ones tenure ended in 1966. However one possibility would be it was a party to honor Admiral Chester W. Nimitz who dies in February of 1966. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>My main request is for help in translating the stuff written on the decorative side of the fan. I have determined that Fumiko Torii was a Japanese author of some note who died in 2015. The portion to the left that is directly above the design is exactly the same on both fans.
