Alita Wilkins
Alita Shimai loved investigators and they loved her. She was cheerful, and she was a problem solver. If you were to inquire why she and one of her companions had sat talking for several hours in the gigantic Aoyama cemetery in Tokyo, you’d know that she was helping the two to work through a point of irritation, now long forgotten----but not the chat. That conversation bridged differences that enabled two sisters to become life-long friends.
Sister Alita had good pitch, perhaps perfect pitch, and she had a trained voice. That ability enabled her and her companion to sing with a small choir at Central and West Branches in Tokyo that would record an LP album, “Japanese Saints Sing.” The album was part of a money-raising project to help the Japanese Saints make their first excursion to the Hawaii Temple in 1965. President Anderson authorized the sisters to sing, but the time spent had to be in addition to all other missionary work. Today, Alita and her husband, Barry, both sing with the Washington D.C. Mormon Choir. |
