DG: Let's move on, to when you answered the "loyalty question."

SS: Well, my mom answered yes, yes on 27 and 28. But with my dad, I told him, because Dad and Mom didn't sign my guardianship over to my aunties and I was forced to go into camp, he had to write what I told him. It was his turn to, so, he and I both said, "Give me the reason for interning Dad." And then for 28, we said, we'll answer 27 after we got the answer for 27. For that, Dad and I got blackballed. And then, we got sent to Tule, so the whole family went to Tule.

DG: Now this was, were some of your friends doing the same thing? Or I mean....

SS: Like I said, we never asked what the others, it was one of those silent... etiquette, I guess, that you just didn't pry into people's business. So... only when we had to get ready to be sent to Tule, did we find out who were going. But, we never asked anyone what they answered but it would be interesting to know.
