Full title:Bob Morimoto who was pictured on the front steps of the house recently completed at Box 5, Cressey, California. Bob was getting ready for the family to move in the next day and stated that he had started the house in March after securing a priority from the War Production Board. Bob and his brothers, Frank and Tetsu, had done all the work building the house and they took time off to do that from tending their 50 acre vineyard and orchard. They have grapes, peaches and almonds and indications are for a good crop. Bob Morimoto, who was discharged from the Army after three years of service, returned in December. Tetsu and Fred and the family returned in January with the exception of Frank's family, who will return from Colorado early in July. Both families are from the Granada Relocation Center. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Cressey, California.
