TI: How about things in terms of, like, Japanese culture? Did you attend the Japanese language school growing up?

MH: I went through the whole, all six grades, yeah.

TI: And this is the one that was on Weller Street?

MH: Yes, so we could walk there. We'd come out of Washington school up here, and then go home and have a little snack, and then go on down to Japanese school. And I went there for six years, didn't learn very much.

TI: Well, I was going ask you, because eventually you -- we'll talk about this later -- but you went to Japan.

MH: Oh, yes.

TI: So you knew Japanese.

MH: A little. And then, of course, we spoke Japanese to our parents, so we had pretty good Japanese. It's you people, the younger ones, that don't. I don't know about you, but I know my children don't.

TI: No, I don't speak Japanese, either.

MH: You don't?

TI: Yeah.
