Full title:Mr. and Mrs. Harumi Yamasaki in the front yard of their home. They relocated in the spring of 1944 to the farm of Mr. Edward Barron in Seabrook, Maryland, near Washington, D.C. Here they have their own house, and Mr. Yamasaki takes care of the farm, while Mrs. Yamasaki cleans and cooks for Mr. and Mrs. Barron. Although they did not arrive on the farm until after the first plantings should have been in, Mrs. Yamasaki has prepared the land and has under cultivation about 40 acres of vegetables. Next year he plans to plant about twice as much. Of their family of eight children, three are going to school nearby; one is in training to be a nurse; one lives in New Jersey with her husband and two children; two are employed at the University of Maryland, and the older son is in the Army. Photographer: Van Tassel, Gretchen Seabrook, Maryland.
