SY: How did that incident with the FBI coming and taking your husband affect you?

YM: I think when they picked up Henry and when -- but I was really hurt when Henry's friends just stopped coming, and they really did stop coming. They didn't call me or talk to me or anything. And when I had to move, when we had to move, none of those people came to help me, but there were others. I think, at the bidding of their wives or something, they came to help me, but to this day I don't know how we moved. A lot of things we moved and things, but I don't remember, very vague.

SY: Where did you store your things?

YM: Most of the camera went to San Francisco and some of the things I stored in government. They had a government warehouse or something, and I stored a lot of things in there. I should have stored at the Buddhist church, but at that time I didn't know they were storing things at Buddhist church. And when I stored at the government, when I came back to pick it up, there were two trunks, or two boxes missing. So to this day I don't know what was missing.

SY: Can we take a break for a second?
