Frank Iwato

Frank Iwato – Japanese American

He had a camera store and picture frame shop on 1st Street.

I was a customer.

In WW2, he was arrested with his family and sent to a concentration camp in the blazing hot desert area.

They were treated like Jews in Germany.

In WW2 they were permitted to go into the army.

They were in the “go for broke” regiment.

They won more medals for bravery than any other regiment.

“Lest we forget.”

P.S. Frank Iwato was my friend.

Roosevelt later regretted his order.

Food

I have always been a good eater.

Unless I’m sick, I have a good appetite, but it takes only eating a little for to satisfy me.

As I got older and less active my appetite decreased.

I was satisfied after eating less food

While we are watching TV (CNN news before going to bed) my helper offers me some food which I refuse (overeating makes me nauseous and sometimes I feel like throwing up).

She is well meaning, I thank her and refuse it, graciously thanking her.

As we grow older and less active we eat less. 

We sleep more.

It’s normal.

***

It’s almost 7:15 p.m. Almost my bedtime.

I’m going to watch CNN on TV and hit the sack … “good night.”
