ALICE IN WONDERLAND His father worked for Pan American Airways (Pan Am), which took Whitney around the world from ages six to twenty, including a transformative year in Tokyo. At that time, he was a 6 year old from the New York suburbs who couldn't contemplate living in another land. But, like a dream, there he was, in a paper house, with a traditional Japanese garden, overlooking spectacular downtown Tokyo. It was as if he was Alice and Japan was Wonderland. He has never forgotten that moment of his life when he realized Japan was his new home and life was never the same. Whitney has been looking down rabbit holes and asking "Why?" ever since.
