Show LK MK LK MK LK about a year before he married Bea but he con-stantly got letters from General White, General Lemmitzer, General Clark and even their sons and he got letters from. daughters,/ He was a very sociable guy. He was the most likeable Nisei I have ever met, R.T. And whenever he wanted any assignment, he got it. He went to Germany. He asked for Germany, he got it so from that standpoint it was good to be in that detail. But I turned it down naturally, I wanted something different, of course. It wasn't different actually. They wanted to send me back to Santana to be a liaison officer with the same people I dealt with before and then the labor desk. So it wasn't so much different from previous exper-ience but, of course, all during the time I was in Japan the second tour I relied on my people in Santana District because they were still my friends and on a friendly basis, on an official basis I could get information from them. Right. I done that on a number of occasions. Even when you were at the labor desk? Oh, yeah. Let me ask you something here. This might be a good place to pause for a second, Because you were Japanese in the Army, do you think promotions came to you slower than if you were Caucasian? 62 |
