Tule Lake and relocated from there to Rockford in August 1943. He like Rockford so well after he had been here a few months
that he purchased a home within a block from the new West Rockford High School. Mrs. Ishizaki and their sons, Robert, Norman,
and David, and their daughter Nancy came with him. Mrs. Rei Miwa, Mrs. Ishizaki's mother, also relocated with them. When asked
if he would return to Sacramento, Mr. Ishizaki replied, Don't you know? I sold my house in Sacramento. Then he went on to
say, After the expulsion order was lifted, we held a conference and all the members of my household agreed that since we had
been made to feel welcome in Rockford that we will continue to make this our home. The children are attending school here
and I know they like it. I am satisfied that there are excellent schools here.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Rockford,
