PT: I do remember one traumatic experience that happened to my family. My neighbor, who was working in the mess hall, happened to be asked to quit her job without any good reason, and my father felt that this was very unreasonable. So what he did was, he got up during one of the dinner times, and he spoke about this incident, what happened to my neighbor. He felt it was very unfair, and he felt that she should have been given notice and adequate reasons for her being dismissed from her job. Well, anyway the following morning he was promptly arrested by an MP and taken to the stockade, where he stayed for about perhaps three months or so. I remember my mother and I going over as close as we could get to the stockade, and visiting him. So we do know that there were radical internees in Tule Lake who were so-called informants, or as they were called in Japanese, inu, meaning dogs. That's it.
