Full title:Yoshiaka Sugita, age twenty-three, came to Omaha in October 1943 to make a position with the University of Nebraska Medical College. Before evacuation, Yoshiaka lived in California. He had graduated from high school and had completed two years of pre-medical work when evacuation interrupted his school days. He was evacuated to the Granada Relocation Center, where he worked as an orderly in the hospital. His technical position with the University of Nebraska is a very responsible one. He is in complete charge of the mortuary department which embalms and prepares the cadavers for dissection by the medical students. He also prepares bones for assembling into skeletons and for sample laboratory models. Yoshiaka is a very ambitious and hard-working young man, has a very pleasing personality; and Dr. Pointer, dean of the medical school, states that Yoshiaka Sugita is the best man he has ever had in the position. Working all day in the laboratory isn't quite enough for Yoshiaka. When his day is completed there, he goes to the Paramount Paper Products Company and works until ten o'clock each evening.<lb/> Omaha, Nebraska.
