In relocating, Harry Asaka, a former Pasadena fruit and vegetable store operator, took a farm job near San Springs, Maryland,
a suburb of Washington, D.C. Harry is an Issei who came to the United States when he was 14 years old. Mrs. Asaka is a Nisei
who was born and raised near Ogden, Utah. The two older boys, Ronald, 9, and Dennis, 7, attend a nearby San Springs school.
The younger boy is John, 3 years old. The family spent some time at the Gila River Relocation Center, and came to San Springs
in August of 1943. They are shown here on the porch of their farm home, which is provided for them by Harry's employer. --
