TI: Okay, same question about your mother. How would you describe your mother?

MY: Well, she was, she went pretty well with what Dad said. She was very supportive of our, you know, whatever came along. So 1928, I think it was, Dad had the grocery store. And so I remember them pulling a great big shed down from someplace and parking it right next to the highway, and it was a warehouse, and that was Dad's warehouse for the grocery store. So before that, he worked for a hakujin...

TI: Right, yeah, so let me go back a little bit. And we were talking a little bit, I was asking a little bit about your mother, and you mentioned how she kind of did what your father said. But personality-wise, how would you describe her?

MY: Oh, she was.. I don't know. I don't ever remember her getting real mad or anything, raising her voice or anything like that. I don't know how she managed, but she was quite even-tempered, and we always had a lot of company, so she was always busy, you know.

TI: Yeah, with so many children, that would have kept her really busy.
