Title:

Left to right are shown Rosei, Junior and Betty Taketa, recent arrivals from the Granada Center, busy now preparing a home for their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Takumi Taketa and their young sister. The Taketas resided in Marysville before evacuation. Their three brothers, George, Tom, and James were prominent Marysville High athletes. Now all three boys are in the Army. Lieutenant George is in the Philippines; T/S Tom and Pfc James are at Fort Snelling. Rosie, Betty and Junior are busy repairing, cleaning and overhauling the house on the Tuso ranch which is to be the family home for the duration. Their parents and younger sister plan to come to San Jose from Granada very soon. For the present the girls plan to help in the fruit harvest--apricots and prunes--and afterwards to take some employment to help out with the family budget. -- Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru -- San Jose, California. 7/7/45
