| As many as 50 members of the Japanese media stayed in Weldon and nearby Roanoke Rapids over the past week to cover Army deserter Charles Robert Jenkins' reunion with his family. The first two days, they staked out Jenkins' sister's house all day. "Before they had left Japan, the Jenkinses announced they wouldn’t talk to the media at all," said Kentaro Sugino, staff writer for Yomiuri Shimbun. "So I'm glad they came out (from the house), even though it was brief, because I could report their reunion to our readers." Akiko Matsushita, staff photographer with Kyodo News, found waiting wasn’t that difficult. "I'm impressed with the slower pace and open space here; life in Japan is hectic," she said. Jenkins is married to Hitomi Soga, Japan's leading symbol among victims of abduction by North Korea. As many as 60 Japanese citizens are thought to have been abducted by North Korea from 1977 to 1983. | ||
