JA: So how do you think your parents would feel, to see what's happened to your family?

MH: You know what I really wanted, I was wishing my husband would have lived enough to see his daughter-in-laws that came into the family. That's always what my dream was, but never happened.

JA: But, again, your parents having immigrated to the United States and faced the hardships they did, to see where your grandchildren are now, how do you think they would feel about that?

MH: Yeah, that's right, too, when you stop to think of it. That's right.

JA: Do you think they would be pleased?

MH: Uh-huh, very much pleased.

JA: So for the sake of children, they think, you think that they would say that it was good that they made the trip across the ocean?

MH: Ocean, and that's right and settle in the U.S.A. and have a nice family here. That's for sure, yes.

JA: Well, thank you very much, Mitzie, for taking the time to speak with us.

MH: Thank you both very much for your time and effort, too, and spending a hot day with us.

JA: Okay.

MH: Thank you.
