Full title:Mr. and Mrs. Eishichiro George Koiwai, Issei from the Minidoka Relocation Center, and their son and new daughter-in-law, Pfc. and Mrs. Eichi Karl Koiwai, relax in the rear garden of their home in a residential section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Eichi Karl, who married the former Chiyo Tamaki of St. Louis and Minidoka on Sept. 3, 1944, attends Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia. His bride is a trained nurse. He relocated from Minidoka in June 1943. He was joined by his younger brother, Toshiyuki Henry, in August 1943, and by his mother and father in April 1944. Toshiyuki Henry attends Temple University and works part time at the Philadelphia headquarters of the American Friends Service Committee. The Koiwai family found its present apartment after considerable searching. However, since the Koiwais have ample room on the first and third floors of the large frame house and use of the porches and garden, it was well worth the effort. Mr. Koiwai had his own cleaning establishment in Seattle, Wash., before evacuation. He is now employed by a large cleaning firm in Philadelphia. Mrs. Koiwai is working part time at a nearby food packing plant.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
