Title:

Reading from left to right are: T/4 Keo Takahashi, Mrs. Takahashi, Mary Kato, Mrs. Jinzo Kato, S/Sgt Ken Kato, Mrs. Jinzo Kato, together with her son, two daughters and son-in-law. This picture was taken in front of the Yoshida home at 116 N. Fremont Street. Mr. Jinzo Kato was busy at work at the time doing contract gardening and so missed being in the picture. T/4 Takahashi and S/Sgt Kato have recently received medical discharges from the Army. All of San Mateo is proud of Sgt. Kato, who served 26 months with distinction overseas in the South Pacific Area. The rest of the family recently returned from Topaz and are looking forward to moving into their own home at 137 N. Grant Street in a week or so. Mary Kato is employed as a governess by a government official in San Mateo and Mrs. Takahashi commutes to Palo Alto, where she is employed as a language drill instructor at the Civil Affairs Training School of Stanford University. The two veterans are currently planning to resume their interrupted university training in the fall. -- Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru -- San Mateo, California. 7/19/45
