I am Looking for my missionary who I was street contacted in the front of Osaka Station (over a Big Hodo-Kyo) in Summer of 1974 by Elder Asher.
He was a companion to Elder Ellis who was a green bean at the time of 2 weeks. I had my first discussion with them a few days later It was at the OKA-MACHI WARD. Elder Asher came from LA or ? in California. Please help me to locate him. Thank you

I am a LDS in Japan and looking for a missionary who baptized my father, Tatsuo Taura in April 21, 1973 at Osaka stake.
, 2nd word
What I only know from my father is that Elder Fletcher from Utah and his father was NASA Administrator.
Any information would be appreciated.
My father has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told that he has 3 month to live. But in the past few weeks, his health suddenly got worse and is battling surveyor pain, jaundice, and abdominal dropsy. in the past few days, he has fallen into very critical condition.
Your kind support would be greatly appreciated
Sincerely
Masami Taura

I am trying to locate John Burke with whom I served in Moriguchi in 1974. A lady we baptized wants to make contact with him. He meant a great deal to her. Does anyone know how to contact him?

A sister in our ward would like to find and possibly get in touch with the Elders who baptized her family when she was a young girl.
Her baptism date was 24 June 1972, and was in a building in the Osaka area (I'm guessing the Abeno building, but not sure). The family name is Kuwabara; parents are Hiroshi & Sakuko. Children are Yachiyo (the one in our ward) and her older sister Yoko. She has vague memories of possible names for the Elders: Richards and Guy, or something like that. She also remembers Sumiyoshi-ken (or Sumiyoshi-Ku?) which may be where the family lived then.
If anyone has any recollection of these baptisms, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Domo Arrigato,
Mike Griffiths

I regret that I lost contact with a sister in Himeji ward named sister Harumi Iwasa. She was elderly back then so I fear the worst but hope for the best, she was like another mother to us while we were in Japan. If anyone has any contact information please let me know. btclu@yahoo.com

I would love to get in touch with Colleen Wilson Strothers. Her profile is listed, but no contact information. I think she still lives in Japan. Also if anyone knows any thing about Sister Yaeko Maeyama, or Osaka stake missionary, Junko Kanda, I would like to hear about them.

I was asked by a friend, Kanako Konari Ford, of South Jordan, to find three people if possible.
Person #1: A Sister Bonnie Sorensen, about age 65, is looking for her old companion, Sister Kyoto Kubo.
Sister Kubo was born in Nishinomiya on April 17th. Exact year unknown. Her mission started in December, 1968 and she was in Nakano-ku, Tokyo for six months. She has three sons. She married a Brother Tanaka.
Persons #2 & #3: Bonnie also wants to reconnect with a Japanese couple, Makoto
and Michiko Shiraishi. I think Shiraishi Kyodai and Shimai live in Tokyo still. They went to BYU and that's how Bonnie met them.
Bonnie's e-mail address is: randysorenson@comcast.net
Bonnie was a middle school teacher. Now she volunteers at Jordan River Temple.

I lost contact with Kitamura Kyodai shortly after I returned from my mission. He was living in Nara at the time of his baptism (Sept 81) and was baptized while I was serving near the Saiin eki in Kyoto. If anyone knows of his whereabouts, or has info as to how his life is going, I would love to hear about it. I have thought about him many times over the past 25 years.

Hello all-
Just wanted to send a quick message in case anyone was still speaking Japanese and has some experience doing technical support or storage administration work.
NetApp is looking for a number of Japanese speaking (and reading and writing) technical support engineers to be based in our support center here in Raleigh, North Carolina. Our job description says "fluent", but we are looking for someone who has strong enough Japanese to work with customers on technical issues, and strong enough technical skills to learn our products and help support customers in English and Japanese (just to clarify, this is not a 100% Japanese support job). I am not in HR or anything- just a guy that enjoys working at NetApp, who happens to also speak some Japanese, so I've been asked to help with our search. I have been with NetApp for about one and a half years, and the company is continuing to steadily grow, especially here in RTP, where we have our 24x7 global support center, along with various engineering, quality assurance, and other departments.
NetApp has received a couple of great honors over the past year:
- #6 in the Fortune Magazines 100 Best Places to Work survey (http://www.netapp.com/news/press/news_rel_20070108)
- #1 large company in the Triangle Business Journal's Best Places to Work rankings (http://www.netapp.com/news/press/news_rel_20060926)
A full job description is shown below. If you are at all interested, or just want some additional information, please feel free to send me an e-mail with an English resume attached, and I'll make sure it gets submitted directly to the hiring managers for these positions.
宜しくお願いいたします。
