Full title:Relocation is complete for Riichi Nishimura, but it took the cooperation of his Caucasian ranch owner friend, Joe
Doetsch and a little skill with hammer, level, and saw. Shortly after the lifting of the ban, Mr. Doetsch got in touch with
the Relocation Officer in San Jose to assist him in getting his friend Mr. Nishimura and family back on his orchard near Campbell,
from the Heart Mountain Relocation Center. Mr. Doetsch had no housing available, but by doing a lot of hard work, he managed
to scrape together sufficient building material to construct temporary housing. Then, he sent for Nishimura, and soon had
the family housed, against the elements. Mr. and Mrs. Nishimura are now at home with their friends. One married daughter and
their son, Joseph, have relocated in Chicago. Mr. Nishimura is employed by his Caucasian friend. The Nishimura were employed
by Mr. Doetsch for many years prior to evacuation.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Los Gatos, California.
