Harold and Margaret Rickard -- missionaries to Okinawa and Japan.
Harold was appointed pastor at the Nago Church -- which met in the home of a war widow -- shortly after arriving in Okinawa.
Meanwhile, Margaret trained church school teachers, taught children and youth in church school and in English classes, played the small reed organs for worship in the churches that did not have an organist, and of course cared for the Rickard home and children.
