Show Kenneth N odzu May 2 2001 we get together with the sisters here quite often, about twice a month. Ev ry holiday anyway. I enjoy them very much. LUK: Is there anything you'd like to add? Do you campaign actively for the environment? KEN: Well, I don't campaign too much, but I send in my membership dues, and then donate extra to them. I guess there are about six environmental organizations I'm members of, and three or four animal rights groups--I mean the Humane Society. And health organizations I belong to like the American Red Cross, and the Federation for the Blind, and a lot of those-Alzheimer's. I'm inundated with requests. LUK: I believe it. If there was a message you could tell the Japanese-Americans of this generation; it sounds like they're beginning to not get involved with things like the JACL. What would you tell them? KEN: Well, since most Japanese-Americans as a pure blood is diminishing here in this country because most of the kids are marrying out of their race, just like I married Dawn, and the kids are sometimes wondering what race am I? And I think if they're interested, I think they should continue with both cultures, you know, their parents' culture, or whether one's Japanese or Caucasian. And in a group like JACL they promote that, and so become members. And then they themselves can develop programs to carry on their culture and traditions. LUK: If you had an opportunity to go to Japan, would you take that? KEN: Well, I had an opportunity because-well, the pictures in the other room-three of 23 |
