KL: But you said your folks married in 1921, and they had a daughter?

HF: Yeah. My sister, 1922.

KL: What is her name? I know I know it, and that'll be weird, but for the...

HF: Her name, Machiko.

KL: Would you spell it?

HF: M-A-C-H-I-K-O. She had an English name, March. She was born in March, so I guess somebody must have said, "Why don't you name her March?"

KL: What did you call her when you were growing up?

HF: I called her March.

KL: Did they have another child in Japan also?

HF: No.

KL: Just one. So was March born in Japan?

HF: My sister March? She was born in San Francisco.

KL: When did your parents come back then? How long did they spend in Japan after marrying?

HF: I really don't know.

KL: Probably not very long if they were married in '21 and she was born back in San Francisco.

HF: That's right. I had two brothers, one right under me, 1924, and then another brother that was born in 1927. Then my younger sister was born in 1938, but my mother had miscarriages in between. I remember two miscarriages.

KL: What do you remember about them? How did they affect her?

HF: Well, they didn't... boys are different than girls. Then like my younger brother was, he was put in camp, when we went to camp, he was fifteen years old, so he got in with a bad crowd.
