TL: Could you talk a little bit about when your, what happened when your father was able to contact you? Was it a letter that he wrote, or how did he reach you folks?

HN: Yeah, I think he wrote a letter. And he used to send us goods, too, right after the war. And then I think he had, he must have went to the Reverend Goto and asked him how, how he could get me back to America. And they probably helped him make all the arrangement and everything.

TL: Did your father, was he interned or was he far enough inland so he didn't have to go to a camp?

HN: Yeah. People in Spokane didn't have to go to camp. They all just stayed with their business.
