from Japan and originally from Sumner, Washington State. She was incarcerated with her entire family in 1943 at the age of 14 because of her national heritage; when President Franklin D. Roosevelt passed the Executive Order 9099.
The United States is comprised of universal countries and a “melting pot” of people. She and all of her sisters and brothers are also natural born citizens of the United States. She often recalled how her Chinese fortune cookies mentioned that she would do well through writings, but she never felt that was possible with her poor reading skills.
However, in the late years of her life in 1982; she went to Japan to search for mother’s half
sister Aunt Shizuko Fujii, she found out that Aunt Shizuko was full of some very interesting family history. Her brain became like a sponge as Aunt Shizuko told so many wonderful stories
of the cultural and family history. Also, as a child she was computing her own father’s stories that her siblings do not seem to remember.
Her inspirations came along with her interest in family history and genealogy. She felt that
she had some important knowledge that needed to be passed on to everyone in the family. But most importantly, it would benefit her two adopted children who know so little about their heritage. This would also leave a wonderful legacy to all of our generations to follow.view less
