RP: How about your older sister? What did she gravitate towards?

HN: Well, actually she just gravitated toward school and went to school and worked in the Manzanar Free Press, then married Reggie. That's all I remember that she did. [Laughs]

RP: Yeah, uh-huh.

HN: She helped my mother take care of some of the washing and you know... didn't have to cook, just went to the mess hall.

RP: So your uncle, did he have a family as well?

HN: No.

RP: No.

HN: He was single all his life. He just moved in with us at Manzanar, so...

RP: But he was in your barrack room?

HN: Yeah, he was the seventh person in our family.

RP: And what did he do in the camp, do you know?

HN: Well, he worked on the farm.

RP: He just kind of picked up where he left off in north Hollywood.

HN: Yeah.

RP: Did your father also work on a farm?

HN: Well, he worked in the maintenance department for a while, then he gravitated to the farm.

RP: Uh-huh.

HN: My brother worked in the hospital.

RP: George.

HN: After he graduated high school, yes. In fact that, he graduated high school, '41? '40 or '41. Soon as we got to camp he became hospital orderly and helped out in the hospital.

RP: Did he work there all the time that he was there?

HN: All the time that he was in camp, yes.

RP: Yeah, Arnold was a hospital orderly, too.

HN: Yeah.

RP: Uh-huh. Did your brother share any hospital stories about working there?
