Re: Japanese Railroad art book

Anne was from Tokyo. Her father was educated in the USA, Stanford and Columbia. He hated the Japanese government and wanted to move the family to the USA, but California made Asian immigration almost impossible in the 20s and 30s. He lived in the USA for about 20 years in the 20s and 30s. He objected to the war and was executed by the Japanese Army as a traitor. Anne's mother was educated in France, her grandfather was Japanese ambassador to pre-war France. The family was wealthy before the war and traveled all over. They had a summer home in northern Japan on one of the islands taken over by the Russians after the war. Anne's parents were both gone by the end of the war and her aunt adopted her. They sent her to English speaking schools so she spoke better English than I did...smile. She had a bit of a British accent when we were married, but four years in Oklahoma wiped that out.
