Full title:Iwahei Frank Inui, Issei, found work as a presser in a busy valet service in Baltimore, Maryland, soon after arriving there in March 1944, from the Heart Mountain Relocation Center. With him he brought his wife, two of their three children, and his parents-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Taka Inui. They all came to Baltimore at the invitation of Iwahei Inui's brother-in-law, Dr. Frank K. Inui, who is on the staff of famed Johns Hopkins Hospital there. The two children in Baltimore, May, 16, and Lloyd, 14, attend high school there. His older daughter, Lola, is in nurse's training at a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, hospital. Before evacuation Mr. Inui first had his own dry cleaning business, then his own grocery store. While at Heart Mountain, he worked in the kitchen and hospital laundry. When his day's work is done, Mr. Inui tends the vegetable and flower beds in the garden he is proudly cultivating outside the two story home in Baltimore which he rents from his brother-in-law.<lb/> Photographer: Van Tassel, Gretchen<lb/> Baltimore, Maryland.
