DG: So the store that your grandfather had started in Japan was taken over by who?

GF: Grandmother took it over.

DG: Your grandmother, so times weren't that good anymore.

GF: At that time, I really don't know how time was. Anyway, my mother, my folks used to send her money because since we were there. I remember that's the amazing thing is that I think I told you before that Grandmother could not read or write and she ran that store. And when I come back from school she says, "Sadamitsu-san, sit down. I want to give you what to write." So she had a little book and I used to write all the who got this, who got that. I don't know how she remembered those things. It was amazing.
