An email to Greg: “Dear Greg:
Once again, congratulations! Thank you for your last lecture at our Group this Tuesday:https://uci.zoom.us/rec/share/b0ZvwDw5tbLiWGyk_pHj1NNk2mI35i0GRqwSOUGSA_-5ONIj13ZGct4AFePocUM.Qg1iiVimoCOjrpB6
We will follow the work you mentioned to continue and expand by realizing some of its applications of your vast LWFA here, such as to minute fiber-laser driven accelerators for medicine.
Let me send you my farewell present 手向けの歌 in the form of Tanka poem （短歌）：
To Gregory:
“Jakaranda
Flowers paved the way to
The School you grew up
Saluting accomplishments
And your future vast voyage”
Toshi Tajima (6/13/24, upon your PhD graduation)
手向けの歌、グレグへ：
「ジャカランダ
花が敷き詰め
道を指す
汝が巣だち立つ
広がる未来」
俊樹 （2024年6月13日、PhD 卒業を前に）
Bon voyage!
regards, Toshi”

Upon your graduation, I reminisced of our son’s arrival 40 some years ago (His age is called in Chinese as “Fuwaku” (“no more meandering”, or “不惑”. These chines characters are recognizable in Korea as well. Fuwaku was originally called by Confucious. A Waka has a syllabus structure is 5-7-5-7-7):
