LH: So you're a kid that started out on a farm... and now you've graduated from the U with a degree in dental surgery...

FK: Uh huh.

LH: Practicing here on the Island?

FK: Right.

LH: So you've settled here on Bainbridge Island.

FK: Yeah.

LH: Raised your family.

FK: Right.

LH: And you have a son.

FK: Right.

LH: Derek. And so do you ever talk to him about your life experience at, with camp, etc. and your involvement with the Japanese American community?

FK: Well, he knows I'm really heavily involved with the Japanese American community. As far as, really sitting down and talking to him about it... I remember once he had to do a project for school and I don't, I think that it was, I can't remember if it was high school or college, but he had to interview me. So he did do that and he learned some things out. But I think he learned the most about me indirectly, in that I had to go talk to his class once, at the UW. And I gave a slide presentation and lecture there and I, he probably found out some things about me that he just never knew, and he probably never would have unless he was in that class. [Laughs] So I don't think the, I don't think the teacher even knew that he was in the class, because I don't think he said anything. [Laughs] So it's kind of interesting. [Laughs]
