Relationship with my father

Relationship with my father Family life in a Japanese Canadian internment camp in Slocan

Transcripts available in the following languages:

[Interruption] Well, my father used to take me to the ballgames, 'cause he had no boys. And so, I guess, from the time I was about eight or nine, he'd take me to the ballgame and sit me on a bench and buy me a bag of peanuts, and he'd forget about me. But I soon caught on. [Laughs] And then I started to play softball at school, so always a tomboy.
