(Ihr Mann lobt sie: "Es sind wohl viele tuchtige Frauen, du aber ubertriffst sie alle."/ Her husband praises her, "Many daughters have obtained wealth, many have wrought valiantly; but thou hast exceeded, thou hast surpassed all." [Prov. 31:28-29])
One daughter, born 1982.
Took up study of Greek, ca. 1996.
A pilot page of an Interlinear Greek-Japanese Gospel of St. John, painstakingly typed using a vintage typewriter-style word processor, was rejected by a religious publisher in Tokyo, ca. 1997. (A Jesuit classicist scholar who had reviewed the page objected to the pronunciation scheme.) Tried to continue but lacked a publisher and a suitable word processor.
Took up biblical studies, 1999-2000.
Resurrected the interlinear Gospel after buying a computer, Feb. 2000, and published some time before Pascha, 2004.
Decided an on-line Greek-English version would have more widespread appeal, June 2004. Began work in July after learning HTML.
Currently an instructor at Nevada-California International Consortium of Universities and Colleges, Tokyo, preparing Japanese high school graduates for foreign study.
