TI: So I want to finish up the interview with some family things. You mentioned earlier a husband. How did you and your husband meet?

MS: Well, his family lived in Pasadena at the time, and then he was in the service. So when we moved to California, but when he came home from service, I don't think he was discharged yet. But my brother-in-law is Bob Uchida, and he brought my husband, Frank, over to meet my sister and me. So we ended up with Bob and Frank.

TI: And I'm sorry, your husband's name is...

MS: Frank.

TI: Frank?

MS: Uh-huh.

TI: And his last name?

MS: Sata.

TI: Sata, that's right. And children, did you have children?

MS: We have three, uh-huh. The oldest one is Leigh, and he lives in San Francisco, he's an architect just like his dad. But he doesn't practice architecture. He works for a construction management company. My second son is Warren, and he's a director of operations for a charter school for L.A. Unified. And my daughter is Mutsuko Adachi, Sata Adachi, and she's married to Jeff Adachi the public defender of the County of San Francisco. You should interview him, he's a very interesting guy.

TI: A future, yeah, I think he has a bright political future. I won't make any predictions. [Laughs] Well, this has been wonderful. Is there anything else that you would like to say for the record? I mean, thinking about maybe great-great-grandchildren who are going to see this in a hundred years, what would you want them to know?

MS: Oh, I think this kind of thing would be wonderful, but like my grandsons could tell their classmates, "Look on the Densho website and you can find out all about what my grandparents went through." I think that is just a wonderful thing that you're doing, and I know it's really painstakingly slow. Hopefully more people will be able to participate.

TI: Well, thank you, Marian, for the time. This was a wonderful interview, I really enjoyed hearing about your life.

MS: Oh, thank you. It's gone very quickly.

TI: Well, thank you.
