A few months ago I set up a LinkedIn group for Monbusho English Fellows (MEFs)<\/strong> and other pre-JETs such as British English Teachers (BETs). \u00a0However, it turns out that an MEF named Thomas Schalow<\/strong>, now a professor living in Kobe, had already set up an MEF group on Linkedin.<\/p>\n

Here’s the link for anyone who would like to join: \u00a0http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/groups?about=&gid=3757582<\/a><\/p>\n

I believe there are a few hundred or so MEFs in existence and would love to track you guys down and bring you into the JET alum orbit to the extent possible. \u00a0So if you are an MEF or BET or other pre-JET, please identify yourself by joining the group.<\/p>\n

FYI, two prominent MEFs I’m aware of are Michael Green<\/a><\/strong>, former top Japan guy at the State Department during the Bush administration and Bruce Rutledge<\/a><\/strong>, founder of Seattle-based Chin Music Press<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
