TI: So you're back in California, and I kind of want to get into a little bit about your family, so when did you meet your wife?

JM: In Salt Lake City.

TI: And how did you meet your wife?

JM: Well, this fellow Frank Nishimura that I was working for, he was saying something and then he knew, well, he was, before it was just a friend, but now since I married her, he was my brother, got to be my brother-in-law, but from there on they introduced her and then her parents and everybody, I guess they knew my uncle in Japan and, you know, it was in a completely different place and then in the country we lived close together, too. So this Frank Nishimura introduced me to her, says, "Why don't you people get married and start raising a family?" and thing like that. And I was kind of afraid, but sooner or later, my sister, too, says, "You got to start sooner or later anyways."

TI: So you got married and then moved to California?

JM: Yeah. I think we got married, yeah, we got married in San Mateo. Yeah, San Mateo Buddhist Church.

TI: And how many children did the two of you have?

JM: Well, we got five all together.
