Full title:Celebrating their first anniversary away from a relocation center are Mr. and Mrs. John Ida, Issei, ages 58 and 47 respectively, and the quietness of this lovely afternoon is pleasantly enjoyed by them as their charming employer plays the piano for them. When the Idas left the Topaz Center exactly a year ago they thought relocation would not be easy for them. But to be near their sons meant much to them; so in the autumn of 1943, they decided to relocate in Omaha as a domestic couple with a prominent family, where they are very happy. Their employer expressed her delight and satisfaction with the Ida family and states that they are always happy and congenial. The Idas accompanied their employer on a summer vacation trip to a summer resort where they had an enjoyable six weeks. The Idas are former residents of the Topaz Center, and were evacuated from San Francisco, California. Their sons are living in Lincoln, Nebraska. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Omaha, Nebraska.
