A short bio provided by Nakahara is as follows. The transcript of the interview will begin on the following page.
"I was born in downtown Los Angeles on May 28, 1937. My parents were truck farmers in Artesia, California at the time. I am the oldest of four children, the latter being all sisters, the youngest was born in Camp Apache, Colorado. Our temporary holding center was Santa Anita Racetrack, of which I can remember quite a bit, even though only 5 years old. Our permanent camp was Camp Jerome near Denson, Arkansas, of which I have many memories, both good and bad. Later the family transferred to Camp Amache, Colorado, where we stayed until the end of the war. On returning to California around October of 1945, I started out the third grade at Empire School in Kerman, CA, later transferring to Granville Grammar School in Sanger, CA. I attended Sanger High School where I was the top student in my class and later graduated from Selma High School. After graduating from Reedley College and U.C.L.A., Uncle Sam called me into the service where I spent my military time in Germany. After coming back to California, I went to work for a draperies company, paint company and am now working for U.S. Borax as a senior research technician for about the last 35 years. Learning judo in camp, and later learning more with Toshitaka Yamanouch, eighth dan, an original student of Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, I taught at U.C.L.A. the military police, the German police, boy scouts, etc. My interest is music where I play bassoon for the Antelope College Band and the Elks 99 Bank of Los Angeles. My wife, who is of Hawaiian descent and older than I (81 years old), a hula dancer who entertained the troops during WWII and I are very active in the Lions Clubs. Each year we attend the international conventions. Last year, it was held in Japan, so we visited Beijing afterwards. This year it will be held in Denver, so we are planning to visit Camp Jerome, before the convention which starts on June 30th.
