DG: Can you remember any other instances that were sort of, that changed things in camp or that or that stuck out in your memory?

MW: You mean good or bad?

DG: Good or bad.

MW: That's, that's the only thing that I remember that was really bad, because most of us would stay in our own area, we didn't go wandering around the camp. And, and then, of course, I made a lot of friends in camp because by that time, all the Bainbridge people had left. So, I had friends that I went to school with, and that we still correspond. We still e-mail, nowadays. And the next, next, the week after next I'm going back to another Manzanar reunion because I figure that, you know, at our age we should do that, otherwise we won't see them anymore. But the good things are because we were able to play organized sports and have a school and, and have dances and music, music festivals, and movies that they brought in. And we would sit on, in the sand and watch the movie after dark. And, oh, we also, there was a little creek up there that called Bear Creek. And we were able to have a wiener roasts up there. So we would have a little, you know, at night, and you'd build a little fire and have wiener roasts. And that was a big treat, because it was something else to do. And other than that, you would have dances in the mess halls, and, and like I said, the movies. And just, oh and we, we also organized clubs, so we had many clubs. They had many girls' clubs and boys' clubs and what they would do is organize their dances and invite other clubs to the dances and things like that.
