Full title:Takejiro Kodama, father of ten children of whom the United States Army called five, is waiting out the return of
his quintet of soldier sons at the ranch home of his son-in-law, Shigio Masunaga, near San Jose. The family arrived in San
Jose recently from Poston Center, to which place they were evacuated from their former Imperial Valley home. With him are
Mrs. Kodama and Ruth, Roy and Geraldine. Tamiki has relocated in Salt Lake City. Two of the boys, Cpl. Shosaku and Pfc. Harry,
are overseas. Shosaku is in Australia with a Caucasian unit and Harry is in Europe with the famous 442nd Combat Team. The
other three, James, George and Oscar, are training in this country. We will wait for Peace to come and bring our boys back
to us, Mr. Kodama said. Then we will go back to growing vegetables here in San Jose where reception by the public is excellent.<lb/>
