Hello Wade,
What a pleasant surprise to hear from
you.Yes, I taught in the Interac program as a substitute for two
whole days in SLC and I do remember you at the San Francisco Pier
when the Brooklyn sailed. We shot some great footage which has made
it into several films.
I served from March, 1970 to March
of 1972. The Japan East Mission under
Russell N. Horiuchi. I loved it and am very pleased to be
working on a film which will hopefully bless the lives of the
Japanese Saints as the film should foster an increased appreciation
for the role the early pioneer Saints had in influencing the major
leaders of the fledgling Meiji Jidai.
It is a great story and PBS
Television has offered some strong interest in broadcasting the
finished product nationwide. The proof will be in the pudding,
but I think they will like the story. They have already jumped at
the concept.
Thanks
again for contacting me. I hope to meet you again as we move forward
on this exciting Iwakura project.
Best、
Lee
From
another email which I finally received (April 18, 2008).
Hello Wade,
Wow, what a surprise to hear
from you.Yes, I remember you very well both from when I taught
with Interac (for two days only as a substitute) in 1972 and
when I ran into you at the San Francisco pier when we filmed the
sailing of the Brooklyn into San Francisco Harbor. Interesting
how our paths cross. Just tonight I had a meeting with Vaun
Andrus and Dean Collinwood and Vaun mentioned that you were
acquainted with the grandson of Iwakura San. Amazing!
No, I'm not famous, but I
certainly have been blessed with working on some great
projects. I am currently working on a couple; one which I
think you would be very interested in is titled FAITH OF OUR
FATHERS. It is a two hour documentary for PBS Television about
the Founding Fathers of this country and the influences which
directed them to insist on religious liberty as part of the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It is a humbling yet
awesome opportunity.
But the Iwakura project? Wow.
It is so exciting to produce a film which will hopefully foster
a sense of pride in the Japanese Saints and further a little
known but significant story of East meeting West in a cowtown in
the west. Religious freedom, religious persecution, the
legislative process, territorial government with the local
church leader under house arrest. It is a rich story which has
caught the interest of PBS Television for a nationwide audience
as well. I am visiting with them next week in DC to discuss it
further.
At any rate, long answer to a
short question. I served from March, 1970 to March 1972 in the
Japan East Mission under Russell N. Horiuchi. My dendo
areas included Hachinohe, Hirosaki, Yamagate, Iwamizawa,
Tsukisamu (Sapporo East), Asahigawa, and all of the cities of
Hokkaido as a ZL. It was the best of times and I am thrilled to
give back a little as I work on a film about Japan and the US in
the formative years of the Meiji Jidai and of the settling of
the West.
Best to you and I hope to
catch up with you again soon.
Lee
