Full title:Ted and Hiroshi Kusudo who, since coming East, have become skilled chick sexors, in front of one of the poultry
buildings at the Red Bird Farm at Wrentham, Mass., the largest Rhode Island Red poultry plant in the world. Ted and Kiyo Kusudo
left Gila River in the early summer of 1943 to accept seasonal work on a fruit farm in Pennsylvania, and later in the year
they joined Ted's brother, Hiro, at the Wee Laddie Farm near Worcester, Mass. This farm is a poultry and orchard farm but
they were principally interested in the poultry. Hiro Kusudo came to New England directly from Rohwer in August, 1943 and
accepted employment on the Wee Laddie Farm. Jeannie and the children joined Hiro during this last summer. Both Ted and Hiro
are expert chick sexors and both are interested in poultry work. Since joining forces in New England they have been together
on the same farm where housing was provided. They have recently accepted a new position with one of the more up-to-date poultry
plants in New England. Since coming East, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Kusudo have become the proud parents of Jo Anne, born September
2, 1944. Before evacuation the families had lived in the vicinity of Los Angeles.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/>
