DH: How did you meet?

KN: How did we meet?

IN: Well, I don't know.

KN: That's a long time ago. [Laughs]

IN: We, you know, whatever the, they had programs and so forth at the Japanese Hall, and we used to dance and so forth at the Japanese Hall, and that's one of the ways that I can recall having met her.

KN: Yeah, because there used to be Boys Club and Girls Club, and we would get together and we have social functions at the big Japanese Hall. And everything was held at the Japanese Hall, the funerals, the social events, weddings, anything.

DH: Was all at the Japanese hall?

KN: Yes, at the Japanese hall.

DH: The center for all the community activities.

KN: Yes, right, community activities. And even the movies they brought over from Seattle, wherever, they showed it over there. So everything was held there.
