...Japan, yes...now where in Japan?
...and Tully, don't make me feel so old . I just googled Breckenridge and there are different numbers attached to the ships apparently but, yes, it was in the 60's and, as i said, i was a very young LITTLE girl. I'm not sure which one i was on but i was a navy child (not a brat) and my father was stationed in Japan for 3 years. We lived one year on a navy base and two years in a Japanese village within commuting distance to the base. It's this Japanese village that I am going for here. (wikipedia mentioned a breckenridge that last sailed in 1945 and i can guarantee you I wasn't on THAT ship...i wasn't even a thought)

I believe you have it Phil. The imperial family has a big Budha in Kamakura.

If that's not it she might be in one of the small beach villages south of Yokuska.
Spent many nights under that Budha drinking with my buddies. Never anything as bad a Scotch and coke... but close.
