RM: So I'm going to pull out a picture of the North Hollywood Huskies. If you don't mind just holding it up, can you show us who you are in that photo?

GO: Well, I guess I'm this person here.

RM: And do you know any of the other guys in the photo?

GO: I know everybody, but I forgot a couple of the names. Yeah, I can go down the line and mention all of them, but there's a couple of them that I forgot.

RM: Okay. And then you told me earlier your brother Soup is in that photo, right?

GO: Right here.

RM: So maybe after this interview we could just write down everyone's names that you remember. That would be really neat for us to have. But was the North Hollywood Huskies, how did you guys form as a group, and did you only play football?

GO: No, there were... well, actually, we formed it when we came to camp. Because a few of us went to North Hollywood High, and they were the Huskies. So we came to camp and then some of North Hollywood got together and we formed that. That's our group. [Laughs]

RM: What kind of things did you guys do?

GO: Get together, play poker.

RM: Poker?

GO: Play poker, throw the dice, you know how they are when they're young.

RM: So you guys haven't changed, because downstairs, didn't you have a poker tournament this morning?

GO: [Laughs] Well, there's nothing else to do in between. We played poker or throw the dice or talk.

RM: Do you remember any rules about gambling in Manzanar?

GO: No. Well, they didn't gamble that big, just to have fun.

RM: So where did you have the games? If you got together for a poker game, where would you go?

GO: We'd go to somebody's apartment and play if the wife or the mother don't care, we'd play. Or sometimes I think we'd play outside, we'd throw the dice. But you know, when you're young, you do things like that, not too big.

RM: So you were telling me earlier about a later trip that you took to Manzanar, and you guys picked some apples, and this was, I think, in the '60s. But I'm curious about if you remember the gardens and apple trees and orchards at Manzanar from when you were in camp.

GO: I notice that there were some ponds and gardens in between barracks, but I didn't pay too many attention to it.

RM: Did your family do anything outside of their apartment to make a garden or anything?

GO: No, no. It was either my brothers or I did, plant, I think planted trees. Tree or some kind of a bush in front, to get some shade, yeah. Like a tree to shade the front.
