JN: Okay, let's start first by telling us who you are and how old you were, you were when, in 1942.

LK: I'm Lilly Kodama, and I was seven and a half in 1942, just when we were relocated.

JN: Okay, tell us about your family in 1942, their names, their ages, your parents, your brothers and sisters.

LK: I don't know if I could tell you the ages, but my mother and father and I was the oldest. Well, I guess I can, because there's supposedly two years between all four of the siblings. I was the oldest, that's seven, and my brother... my sister Frances was next and then my brother Frank, and then my youngest sister, Jane. And she was just, I think, nine months old.

JN: And your parents, what were their names?

LK: Shigeko and Frank Kitamoto. I guess I should tell you my maiden name. [Laughs]
