Show Kenneth N odzu May 2 2001 LUK: Do you keep in contact, or is there a Japanese-American veterans group? KEN: No, I don't. But I guess I donate to the VFW; that's the Veterans of Foreign Wars. And I donate money to the Paralyzed Veterans of America. And I get calls from just about every organization there is. My biggest worry now are environmental issues. If we don't protect our environment we're just going to maybe toxic us to death. And overpopulation is my biggest issue. Because I don't have any kids, and Dawn has four kids and twenty-five grand kids. LUK: Wow! KEN: So I feel we have to cut down on our over population. LUK: Is it fun being a grandfather, or ... ? KEN: Well, I don't know. I love my family, my sisters, and brother, and their seventeen kids. But Dawn's family, I get along well with them one on one, but when they all get together for holidays I really can't stand it because there's a lot more than twenty-five. Most of them married now, and have kids of their own. When they all get together, boy, to me, it's just overwhelming. LUK: Has all you family stayed-all your siblings stayed in Utah, or have they branched out? KEN: No. I have a sister that's in San Diego, and a sister in L.A., and my brother is in Boise. The rest of us are here in Salt Lake. L UK: Do you get to travel around and see them, or do they come up and see you? KEN: Mostly we travel and see them, maybe once a year, or something like that.
