MU: Okay, I think we've come to the end, Mitzi. And is there any one last thought that you'd like to leave with us?

MM: Well, I know Mr. Aiso was a, really a brilliant person, intellectual as I said. But he touched the lives of so many, and so, and he was sort of an inspiration to all generations of the Nikkei for his impressive achievements and his contributions, I would say.

MU: A real good role model for anybody to have.

MM: Yeah, he was just wonderful and I'm really proud that I had the opportunity to know him, and to serve under.

MU: Well, that's wonderful.

MM: As you know, I worked real hard on that -- the compilation of the panel discussion material that we published.

MU: For the reunion?

MM: For the reunion, and it took almost a year to put it together. I did a lot of the editing work on that.

MU: You should be proud of it.

MM: I tried to make it as accurate as possible. But therein, you'll find the history of MIS.

MU: That's wonderful. Well, Mitzi, thank you very much for spending time with us, it's been a wonderful interview and we enjoyed it, and I hope you enjoyed it.

MM: I enjoyed it very, very much.

MU: Well, that's wonderful. Thanks a lot.

MM: You're welcome.
