TI: And before we go there, like from your farm, do you remember where you had to go to get picked up?

TW: I think it was in town where the produce collection place was. I think we went there and then was on the train to Pinedale.

TI: And do you remember the scene at the collection point? Were there a lot of other Japanese there waiting?

TW: I think I don't recall that being a crowd there or anything.

TI: And then from there, a train to pick you up? And had you ever been on a train before?

TW: Never.

TI: So what was that like for you?

TW: It was fun. But the shades were down, and then you didn't see anything. But it was just this child, it was just fun, and I guess, I don't know how Mom and Dad survived all that, especially with four of us. Because my brother was at school already but there were four of us to look after.

TI: Now, do you remember anything like guards with you on the train?

TW: (No). I didn't feel threatened at all, I was never afraid.

TI: How about food? Do you remember what you ate on this train ride?

TW: I don't remember being hungry.

TI: [Laughs] So there must have been.

TW: There must have been plenty of food and where it came from.
