TI: So you're in Bellevue, and going back to you, you were born in 1930. Let's talk about your siblings.

TW: Okay.

TI: So starting from the oldest and going through the family, tell me their names and about how much older they were than you?

TW: Okay. Rye Tanino was my oldest brother, and I guess he was five years older than I was.

TI: So born 1925.

TW: And then my brother Kats, that was here, he's a couple of years older. Then it was me, and then my sister Tsukiyo, and then my younger brother Tom.

TI: Okay. So I have Rye, or Ryomi, born 1925, Katsumi, born 1928, you were born 1930, Tsukiyo 1933 or about three years younger, and then Tom or Matami, 1936, which would be about six years younger.

TW: And they're all gone now.

TI: So five kids.
