Jackson & Yoshi in North America
OLD TOM, Unfinished USS Colahan Book

Jackson Sellers, a professional writer and editor for a half century, lives in Southern California, but he can be considered an old Japan hand. As a naval officer, student and newspaperman, he spent most of his adult youth in that fascinating country, married a Japanese woman, and then, as an old man, began vacationing at length in Japan and writing about Japanese history and culture. His prominent Japanese friends keep him from making too many mistakes. Now in his 70s, Jackson is retired from the Los Angeles Times. In the photo above, he clutches his ever-present journal at a park in Kichijoji, a Tokyo suburb.

The Original Tomcat, Jackson’s book about a warship that fought against the Japanese in the 1940s, can be purchased from Xlibris.com or almost any Internet bookstore such as Amazon.com. This website has Original Tomcat Addendums.
