LS: [Description of photographs] This is Grandma and Grandpa Sato, this is my husband's father, and his name is, was Ushimatsu Sato, and he came here to the States in 1936, I believe. No, no, way before that. He was born in 1876, and he passed away in 1936. And he was seventeen and she was seventeen, and she was a month older, her name is Setsu Sugiura. So when they got married, she was only seventeen -- eighteen, and then they farmed in Stockton 'til the war started.

LS: This was taken in Stockton.

MA: They look so young.

LS: Isn't that beautiful? And then this is my dad and my mom before they got married, and this was taken in August of 1926, and that was his first car, he was so proud of it. And they farmed in Stockton, like I said, 'til 1936.
