East of the Rockies

Nice game, Nice story but really too short!

a great and enjoyable story teaching history that isn’t normally taught in school, I learnt many new and important things

I met my wife in Vancouver January 1977, married that June, her family were interred and lost everything. They did get $20,000 reparation, for each person up to just prior to my wife Keiko’s birth. I am British, but my Japanese family made me part of theirs immediately. Several of our relatives were interred in Raymond, some live in Coaldale, Alberta. I am very proud of the family I married into 42 years ago. My wife’s parents were both first born nissei so they were sent by their families by tradition to live with their grandparents to learn the language and traditions of Japan. They came back from Japan to brothers and sisters that found it hard to relate to a broth or sister that knew Japanese more than English and then to end up shoved into the Hastings Park ‘temporary housing’ cramped bunks with only what you could carry. Even very long after it all happened, my brother-in-law left for Portland, Oregon, due to name calling by his neighbour. So proud to be a part of their family. Thank you for this.
