TI: So three and one half years in Tule Lake. After Tule Lake, what did you do? You sound like you went to another high school in Richmond and then to Berkeley.

HK: I went to one semester in Richmond Union High School and then I went to University of California in Berkeley. And I studied engineering, electrical engineering, because what I really wanted to become was a math professor. And so, but the only reason I couldn't -- and incidentally I want to say I wanted to be in a school environment forever, I loved school, you know -- but first of all, I know I had to get a Ph.D., if you wanted to become a professor. But I wasn't accepted, because in the liberal arts that's where they give the degree in math and I didn't have foreign language because I was taking ten courses and they didn't accept Japanese at that time. So college of engineering was the only school that would accept me without a foreign language. So that's how I got, so accidentally I became an electrical engineer.
