Slow to respond to this due to such inconveniences as fire, evacuations, failure of electricity, cell service and internet. Thankfully things are back to nearly normal without serious damage except for an oversize truck's snagging my landline yesterday, removing the only thing that worked during all last week.
My Aunt Lola was a Quaker and a delight to know.
In 1941 Japanese assets of all kinds were being gobbled up for pennies on the dollar in the very few days available before mandatory relocation.
Aunt Lola knew several families and through them got title to many homes and businesses. returning them at the end of the war.
I had many Japanese schoolmates that retuned from the camps in time to start kindergarten.
