Rev. Yukio Sakiyama retires

[Haruo]

Yuki Sakiyama has been pastor of the Nichigo (Japanese-language) congregation at Seattle's Japanese Baptist Church for 14-plus years. He was preaching the day Mrs. Haruo caught up with me there, and he sang at our wedding. He's 68 years old now, and his 94-year-old mother in Japan needs him, so he retired today. You can see some of my fuzzy photos taken with my phone at the retirement service and luncheon: (Click on the first one to get into slideshow mode, though it probably won't scroll without clicking).
