Full title:A Four Star Mother was among the passengers on the Rohwer Special returning to Long Beach, California, where she
will live at 1959 Myrtle Avenue. Mrs. H. Kanow has four sons, all of whom are in the service of their country with our armed
forces. They are all overseas, each has been awarded the Purple Heart, their grades range from private and private first class,
to sergeant. They are Frank, Hichi, Hachiro, and Noble Kanow. Their father passed away in the center. All passengers on the
Rohwer Special reported a satisfactory and uneventful trip during the 2,000 miles, over lines of four railways and with equipment
varying from a fairly modern cafe car to antiquated wooden coaches of the gaslight era. However, there were no complaints
from the returnees, numbering young, old and babies in arms. A tourist sleeper was reserved for the aged and a few who were
ill. En route several crowded troop trains, in some cases bearing GI's back from the South Pacific, were met by the Rohwer
Special on sidings. All reported that hearty and cordial greetings were exchanged. The returnees found many friends to greet
them, both Caucasians and Japanese Americans.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Long Beach, California.
