TI: Okay, so Morgan, we had just talked about, eventually people got the orders to leave San Francisco, and I asked you about your possessions, but you went to get this document, which looks like an original. Can you describe what this is?

MY: A friend of mine was able to find these copies and gave it to me.

TI: So these are the original kind of posters that were...

MY: He found a whole stack of them in the original condition.

TI: And this is the actual neighborhood that --

MY: That's my actual neighborhood, by coincidence.

TI: Yeah, these are good. Yeah, these are, yesterday we saw one that was actually a leaflet. You know, like a smaller version of it, that was an original. 'Cause I've seen these.

MY: Those were the, posted everywhere. Naturally, Al and I discussed those at length, and our parents, because that says get rid of everything and go into camp only with what you could carry.

TI: Well, there's something else I wanted to ask you about that, to see if you and Al saw this.

TI: Oh, so you didn't notice that? I just, that's one thing that popped out when I first read that.

MY: Yeah, technically, academically, that's an issue, but to most of us it was never an issue. We were "alien."
