Full title:Tsunekichi Sasao will go down in the Thank You book of the George Yamasaki family, from Heart Mountain, as a real
benefactor of relocation. For when George was unable to solve the housing riddle in Heart Mountain, Mr. Sasao invited the
entire family to return with him on a recent San Jose Special and share his quarters. Now, the two families are camping in
in the old Sasao residence near Sunnyvale, a bit cramped for room but home happy, to say the least. The large Sasao home was
under lease to Mike Kirkish, owner of Sunnyvale's largest department store, throughout evacuation and thus far the Kirkish
family has not been able to find housing elsewhere. Nevertheless it is a happy arrangement, for the youngsters, Niseis and
Caucasians, are firm friends and playmates. Shown here are, left to right, Eddie Kirkish, Bessie Sasao, Mrs. Helen Yamasaki,
and Tsunekichi Sasao.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Sunnyvale, California.
