I'm now retired from BYU as Professor of Japanese, and enjoying a little free time very much. My wife, Jenny, and I have six children, 21 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild. They all live in Utah valley, so we keep busy tending (playing with) our grandchildren. Though we've had several opportunities to visit Japan over the years, I still have very nostalgic feelings about those days as a missionary. Sometimes I kind of wish Japan were the same as then, but of course I am happy with the great progress the country has made and the relative prosperity of its people now. Just when we think we are in bad shape materially we remember how the people in Japan were struggling just a few years ago and realize how abundantly we have all been blessed. I'm sure I'm joined by all the missionaries who served with you all those years ago in praying and wishing for the very best in health for you and Frances. How we all miss your beautiful duets of those lovely Hawaiian love songs. I know I will be forever in your debt for the examples you set and your loving leadership, both of which made of my mission experience a truly memorable time in my life. Best wishes and eternal love,
George and Jenny Perkins
