BY: So tell me about Frank, your brother Frank. What happened with him? So he was in Salt Lake City with you, then did he go to college? When did he come back to Seattle?

MK: Well, he came back (with my parents and me). He did go to college, to the U, but I don't know if it took place... he got drafted, too.

BY: For the Korean War, then?

MK: Hmm?

BY: Oh, no, for World War II. So he got drafted?

MK: He got drafted, but I can't remember when he... after they went, he served, and he went to Italy. Oh, but what's funny is when he got drafted, my mother said she didn't want him to go.

BY: Of course not.

MK: And my sister (Amy), the smart one, told her that she checked, and he has to serve, but they won't ever send him to war.

BY: Because his brother had died?

MK: (Yes, and he's the last son living). So that helped my mother.

BY: So he did serve then?

MK: Yeah, and he served in Italy and came back. And then he went to (the University of Washington and) graduated in engineering.

BY: And then he stayed in Seattle, then?

MK: Yeah. He stayed with the family, with my parents, because they were alone.

BY: Okay. And then he was in Seattle for the rest of his life, is that right?

MK: What?

BY: He stayed in Seattle after that?

MK: Oh, yeah.
