"Did you know a 'Roy Oshiro'?"
"That was my Dad!"
Several weeks ago, after worship service, during our online fellowship, I found out one of my more elderly friends actually knew my father when he first went out to Okinawa. Her father was on the board of the mission under which Daddy sailed in 1955!
My online friend was Gwen Penner. Her father, Lee Fosmark, was one of the Fosmark brothers who helped establish the Evangelical Free Churches of Canada, and he pastored in Coaldale and was on the board of the Canadian Japanese Mission (with director Margaret Ridgeway mentioned earlier). "Roy Oshiro" had been one of their first missionaries. They'd often wondered what had happened to him. Well, now she's met one of the daughters God gave him!
