RP: And, Sachi, tell us a little bit about your siblings, brothers and sisters. Maybe by, you know, oldest first. And give us a little, you know, maybe just a little snippet of information about them. What do you remember about them? Maybe what, what they...

SK: Well, as you know, there are six of us. And I always wished that I was an only child. [Laughs] Being the oldest of six, of course, after we became adults it was totally different. I'm so happy that I had five siblings and all of us are living and have our own teeth. [Laughs] Anyway, the one next to me is Aki who, who lives in Hawaii. She was, did you want to know something about their traits or what?

RP: Personality, yeah, traits. Uh-huh.

SK: Oh. Well she was the, the gentle one. The one that was very obedient to our parents and she did a lot of the work that Mary and I somehow, conned her into.

Off Camera: Pestered...

SK: Yeah. Mary is the third daughter, right. And she's probably the most outgoing of all of us.

Off Camera: Aggressive.

SK: Yeah. And more assertive and, and she's been in jobs where, you know, that was (an asset). She did very, very well. And, she's very bright and a take-charge kind of person. George was an engineer for Hewlett Packard. You see, most of the time when we were growing up, I was in close touch with Aki and Mary. But with the others, (because) I was in college for four years (living) on campus, and then after that, I went to camp. So I didn't really get to know them until we became more mature. But George must have been bright. He was in the Signal Corps when we moved to New York and then (...) was teaching radar at the time, and (after being discharged) by Hewlett Packard and was with them for about thirty years until he retired. He's married, no children. Then Dorothy, you don't want any more information about her. [Laughs] You had enough. (...) Paul is the youngest one. (...) I always think of him as having a quiet presence. You know, he's there. (He speaks softly but) has a very dry sense of humor. (...) The kids always love him. Maybe being the youngest one he always loved babies. And so he had four of his own. And, anyway, he's always been there for all of us. In fact, I think we've all been there for all of us. But he's very special. That answer your question?

RP: Yes.
