My Sister Marcia cleaned out my Dad's old Army footlocker and found a bunch of old family pictures....many from long, long time ago....so long, that we don't even now who the heck the people are in the pictures...but they must have been related somehow since my Grandma Kumamoto had them. I thought I would share a few with you.....
This one is cool because it looks super old. It was the funeral of somebody, must have been important beacause people are all decked out and the horse drawn carriage must have cost some bucks during a time when mose people didn't have lots of bucks....I don't who passed away or who is in the picture but I wish I did.....
This picture is titled, "Meeting of the ladies of the Japanese Mission, At Moneta, California January 6th 1917". I think my grandma is in the second to the bottom row, 4th over from the left.
This picture was from a cruise ship picture that my Grandpa and Grandma Kumamoto went on. It is dated Feb. 20th, 1936. My grandparents were pretty wealthy for the time. My Grandpa owned a produce distribution warehouse at the time. The traveled the world....of course, this was all before the start of WW2....they lost everything at the time of internment and my Grandma was pretty bitter about it until the final years of her life. My Grandpa is in the middle and my Grandma is sitting to the right.
This is a picture of my Grandpa's produce business before the war. My Grandpa is in the middle wearing the suit.
This is a picture of my Dad and his big brother.....my Dad is standing on the left.
This is my Mom and Dad when they were dating during the war....
This is the copy of my Dad's embarkation certificate.....the SS Argentina sailed from Le Harve France on December 24, 1945....nice Christmas present....
This is my Dad's Army ration card from Europe...if you open it up, all the cigarette boxes are checked off!
