MT: See, the Quakers, I think because at that time it was hard for Japanese to buy land. So they bought a whole plot of land on Colorado Street in Palo Alto. And my uncle Buichi, cousin Ikedas, all lived in Palo Alto because they thought it would be nice if all the Nakatas got together. So we had a piece of land there, like my father. Tomoshige had a plot of land, Buichi, the Ikedas. Anyway, that land on Colorado Street where the Nakamuras, I think, lived there. Anyway, that's how they got that land was through the Quakers, and the Quakers built the church there. I think next door to my uncle's house. You don't know that?

BS: That part I don't know.

JS: Sounds like was it all one block?

MT: Yeah. And (Mrs.) Duveneck were very instrumental in that, too. I think their son-in-law was an architect or something. But anyway, had something to do with that land.

BS: Yeah, I think that sort of, I don't know if you want to call it school, but I think it still exists.

MT: If I'm not mistaken, that's the way I interpreted it.

BS: Yeah, I think you're right about that.

JT: Whereabouts in Palo Alto is this I don't know too much of Palo Alto.

MT: Do you know where the Buddhist church is in Palo Alto?

JT: Yes.

MT: Okay, it's not too far from there. I think it's... anyway, it's on Colorado (Street).
