Title:

Eiichi Sakauye, prominent San Jose pear grower back on his San Jose ranch from Heart Mountain, is a busy and a happy man. Crops are bountiful and harvest is around the corner as this picture is taken. Nevertheless, Eiichi, the bachelor of Trimble Lane, finds time to act on the San Jose Council for Civic Unity, the J.A.C.L. Board of Directors and the Board of Managers of the San Jose Hostel, a busy man indeed. Eiichi is shown here checking the size of his Bartlett pears. He reports an excellent crop of good size. With Eiichi are his father, Yuwakichi, his mother, Tamae, sisters, Kimiko and Ayako, and his brother, Kenji. A second brother, Isao, is foreman of a defense plant in Cleveland, Ohio. In addition to his pears, Sakauye is growing celery and bell peppers. -- Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru -- San Jose, California. 7/9/45
