Full title:Mr. and Mrs. Taki Asakura and their four-year-old daughter, Naomi, are seen at the door of their old home at 111 E. Canon Perdido Street, which they are again occupying since their return from the Gila Center. The family arrived in Santa Barbara on March 17, and are the first to return to that city. The Asakuras also have two young sons who are attending school. They have found no evidence of discrimination among the students and one boy has already been made Class President while the other is Captain of the football team. Taki is expected to take a position in the WRA office in Santa Barbara where, due to his knowledge of the community and his wide acquaintance in the center, he will be in a position to help returnees with their various problems. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Santa Barbara, California.
