Show JUN KURUMADA p we attended the Mt. Fort Junior High School and then the Ogd n High hool. h n before any of us graduated from high school we d moved to Murray and we art nd d Granite High School. So the three of us, we all graduated from Granite High chool before attending the University. 2 OJ BEC: So all three of you did your undergraduate work at the University of Utah. JUN: BEC: Yeah. In fact we all graduated the same year, from the University. Oh, that's what you were saying before. And then you went on to your specialized fields after that. JUN: Well, my older brother didn't finish medical school. He preferred to stay with farming, so he stayed with the farm. And his wife, who was also a graduate from the University in 1937, she graduated with a certificate in teaching and so after a short time teaching here at the Jordan School District, she decided it would be better, more lucrative, if she moved to Los Angeles. So she and my older brother moved to Los Angeles. And they have raised their children there. Now that was, I think the oldest boy-well, they have four children. Two of them are dentists and one is a physician. And then they have their daughter who is, I think she's in the education field. So, now the boys are close to the age of fifty now. But they have their own families and they're doing quite well. BEC: So it sounds like, then, while you were growing up you said your mother was very adamant that you all attend college. So were you planning on being a dentist while you were growing up? 5 |
