Show Grace Oshita 2-21-85 s3:16 GO Well. We didn't associate with them. Outside, I guess. You know. The factory. Although as - Traditionally, they would come and enjoy the New Years's Feast for instance. It would be their whole family. And ~orne toour home and join in the festivities. Or the - the burlap sacks with th~ rtce and soybean came in, was quite valuable. You know, bey sold it to dealers. Sack dealers. And, my Dad would make sure that that money was set aside and once or twice a year, all of us would go with the{r families. Or at least couple - I can't remember whether the children went or not. But everyone would go to a restaurant and enjoy a restaurant meal with the workers. L From the moneyfrom that. GO Yes. L And during the correspondence, again, one of the workers got married. And he wanted your father to come to the wedding ... GO Yes. L But your father was away in the camp. He couldn't. GO Yes, because 1Think they had asked my parents to be a matchmaker. You know, in name only. L That would have meant, to me, in my ears. That you were very close with these workes. GO Oh, !think we were. L You knew about their lives. GO Yes. L And they confided in you. GO Many of the younger man were kibeis. From Japan. Like In Salt Lake City, when we first started, it was sort of a stepping stone or first job for relocatees or people comingout of the camps. |
