Shigeko Kitamoto, Nobuko Hayshida, and Fumiko Hayashida, all from Bainbridge Island, were eager to reunite with their sister, Fujio Arima of Seattle, in Minidoka. Fujio’s husband was interned and she was left to care for her five young children. Here Fumiko, Nobuko, Fujio, and all of their children (cousins) get together for the first time since the Bainbridge Islanders arrived in Minidoka.
