The body of a popular American teacher known as "Monty-san" has been found in the tiny coastal Japanese town where he worked, more than three weeks after the country was rocked by a powerful earthquake and devastating tsunami, his sister said Wednesday.
“We’ve got a big hole in our universe here,” said Shelley Fredrickson, a 44-year-old sales representative from Anchorage, Alaska, adding that the family was not accepting the confirmation of the death of her brother, Montgomery Dickson, officially until they travel to Japan, "for our own peace of mind."
The family knows little about the circumstances of Dickson's death. The last one to speak to the 26-year-old known as Monty was Naoko, whom he called after his students had evacuated from the school where he was teaching.

Unfortunetly for this family they had to wait 3 whole weeks to find out what had happened to their loved one. I know i would not want to wait three weeks to try to find a family member that had a tsunami come through. Because the worst part is, they actually didnt know if he was alive or dead. Even though most would assume that he is near death or was dead, this family had to try to keep their hopes up. Until the body was found. I know for a fact i want nothing to do with any missing people or scary events that take place with my family or friends. it would be very tough and hard to go through.
