DG: Do you remember, while you were in camp and while you were, during the war, even, and you were going back and forth to the ranch and such, how did you feel about the government at that time?

KN: Well, at that time, I didn't feel bitter or anything, because I felt that the government knows best, they know what they're doing. So... but now -- [laughs] -- put my thinking caps on, and things are different.

DG: How do you feel now?

KN: You can't believe everything you hear and read or see, even, sometimes. So you have to draw your own conclusions and don't let anybody tell you this or that.

DG: Do you have anything else you want to share to me, memories about concentration camp and the war, during the war, before we move on?

KN: Is there something you'd like to ask?

DG: You know, I guess... I have children myself, so what was it like have a, raise a baby after you had Bruce?

KN: Oh, it wasn't hard. I love children; I love kids. In fact, before the war, I used to go to Hayashidas' every Sunday practically, and I would spoil Tomi and Hisa. I would just carry them all the time, that's how much I loved them. And so one day their mommy says, "When you come on Sunday and spoil them, I have a hard time doing my laundry on Monday!" So she says, "Come on Monday and take of them." [Laughs] But that's how much I love children -- I could just spoil every one of 'em.
