Full title:Paul N. Nakamoto, a maintenance man at the St. Joseph Home, Peoria, Illinois, originally lived in Los Angeles. He came to Peoria in December, from the Manzanar Relocation Center. I am pleased to be living in such a friendly place. The Midwest is certainly different from what I expected. If the Issei that are still in the centers could only see and know how good the Issei that are relocated are getting along, I am sure they would leave the camps soon, Mr. Nakamoto said. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Peoria, Illinois.
