FK: We also have reunion picnics and we invite, we try to send invitations out to anybody who's ever lived on the Island, especially before the war and things. And sometimes we get a big response and sometimes we get a little response, but it's kind of like having, everybody brings their own bentou, and then we have games for the kids and things like that.

LH: Bentou, box lunch?

FK: No, everybody just brings their own food.

LH: I see.

FK: Sometimes we throw it all together and everybody eats together, sometimes families just sit together and do it that way. It's just the way we thought that we can get people to come back who've been off the Island for a while, just to renew times together and so forth. So sometimes we get people to come from far away and sometimes we don't. Sometimes we have 400 people there, sometimes we have 200 people there, so. It's just, it's just a good way to do things... yeah.
