Together they worked diligently to establish positive relations between both countries, and Raymond was recognized with the Legion of Merit, the highest non-combatant award bestowed by the US military. Their tours of duty took them back and forth to Japan, Baltimore, Maryland, and to San Francisco and Oakland. Janet was the ultimate hostess and cook, and their home was filled with countless gatherings of colleagues, family and friends. She was truly a most loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend to all. Janet was a longtime, active member of Wesley United Methodist Church and was a past president of the Hawaii district United Methodist Women and was instrumental in nurturing leadership among the women.
