FEN Guide Issues 1986-87

Near as I can tell, FEN Guide existed for the native civilian population of Tokyo, Japan, who wanted to better their English speaking, reading, and writing skills, especially when used alongside what was being broadcast by the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS) on the Far East Network (on the AM dial: 810 KHz in Tokyo). More information about the station can also be found on the AFRTS Archive here.

My dad's last name was mispelled on the left page in this spread. This would happen a lot, even by native English speakers.

"Be a Responsible Pet Owner" — one of the very short PSAs my Dad wrote for the air.

My Dad often hosted the East of Midnight show during this period.
