Another Great Story from San Jose

                                   Jane Iwata, Midori Suzuki Satow, Aki Iwata, Michi Nakai, and
                                             Nancy Satow Ito get together in San Jose. 

Just as at all the Vanished book presentations, the book became secondary to the reunions at the San Jose Museum last month. In this case people who met long after 1942 came back together.

Witness this note from Aki Iwata--

Everyone had a good time at your presentation in the JAMsj.

It's hard to get people to say anything in public like during your discussion, but they sure gave me an earful afterwards.

Thank you again for the contribution your book has made to the history of our country.

Here is a photo of 91-year-old Midori Satow, the prominent focal point on the cover of your book.

Her daughter Nancy is on the far right of this photo

On my left is Michi Nakai.  Turns out that Nancy was Michi's bridesmaid.  They haven't seen each other in years.

Michi (& Roy) we've known for many years. They live in Nipomo. Their daughter Kim is married to Allen Hayashi who farms in Arroyo Grande.  Believe the Hayashis date back to Tsunejiro Hayashi that is mentioned in your book on page 97.
