Marietta Delt Alumni Yutaro Ito '24, Robert E Peterson '76 and Cody Clemens '13 reunited over the weekend in Tokyo where they ate at the the Ichioku restaurant, which Google Reviews says is noted for being an "all you can drink" establishment.

We are sure that they probably had some food, too.

Cody Clemens '13, the interim grants chairman for the Marietta Delt Educational Foundation, is in Japan for an academic trip and he met up with Marietta Delt Alumnus Bob Peterson '76 in the Ebisu neighborhood of Tokyo.

They ate kushiage (deep-fried meat and vegetables), and then headed to Blue Note Tokyo to watch a jazz performance by The Hot Sardines.

Clemens says he and Peterson are planning to see another Marietta Delt Alumnus, Yutaro Ito '24, before Clemens leaves Japan later this month.

Delts over Marietta🛩️

Marietta Delt Spring weekend 2026 included a sightseeing flyover of Marietta from Westin Ritchie '24. While the rest of us can only enjoy these images, Dave Hood '12 got to be the lucky passenger. The flight originated/returned to Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport (PKB).

Check out the video of the hair-raising "spin roll" in the comments below.

The plane Westin is flying is a single engine 1966 Cessna 172H - great for sightseeing and training. Westin has about 200 flight hours and holds a private pilot license and instrument rating. Once he gets to 250 hours, he's hoping to work either as a certified flight instructor, or pulling banners, or working in Alaska doing bush flying while he continues to build hours.
