Full title:Gathered around the piano for some singing are several members of the Yamasaki family with a couple of their friends. From left to right: Barbara Kobyashi, whose husband is in the Army, Jim Kobyashi, Yori Yamasaki, Edith Yamasaki, Nobu Yamasaki, and, at the piano, Jimmy Yamasaki, grinning at his niece, Patricia Kiyoi. Both the Kobyashis are from Colorado River Relocation Center and the Yamasakis from Granada. The picture was taken at the home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harumi Yamasaki, now living on the Edward Barron farm near Washington, D.C. Barbara and Nobu are both working as secretaries at the University of Maryland; Jim, a graduate of Santa Ana Jr. College in California, is working for the Trailways Bus Company in Maryland; Yori is studying to be a nurse at a Baltimore, Maryland hospital; Edith is living with her parents and attending school, and Jimmy too is in school. Since this picture was taken, Nobu has been married to Jim Kobayashi. Photographer: Van Tassel, Gretchen Seabrook, Maryland.
