EO: There are these reunions.

HK: Yeah.

EO: Have you been going to them?

HK: Yeah. I've been to some, I went to the last Tule Lake reunion, which was interesting. But I found that I knew so few people. You know, in camp, you only know a small... because I didn't get around. And that was deliberate on my part, that I just didn't want to go out. After the segregation, I didn't want to go out. So earlier, when I was involved in different activities, I did go out and meet people, but after a while, you just stop doing that. So at this reunion, I realized, gee, all these people and I don't know them. And there were a whole lot of people. It's a huge reunion. And so, but it was nice to meet the people you knew. Yeah, that was nice. Of course, some of these people I've already seen in Loomis. We have a place in Loomis now so we go there quite a lot. So, I see some of these people. I met someone we knew in the block, and they had come in from Arkansas. And they were in Gardena, I think, Torrance, and he was there and his wife and sisters. That was nice, to meet them. So, reunion, yeah. We went to a high school reunion, Placer County. There were four high schools, I think.
