Mrs Saito, who hasn’t seen her husband since 1971, is quite proud of him and continues to set his place at the dinner table each evening.  “The newspapers just keep piling up,” she told a reporter. “He’ll have a lot of reading to do when he gets back.”

(He'll also be dumb-struck to learn that he's got a wife!)


Not about the finish per se, but how cool is THIS?
