Thanks for your comments, Tom. To clarify, all comments submitted are held for approval by the moderator (yours truly) we do this to prevent spam and/or abusive or obscene material from being posted here. Regarding the letters your mentioned...if you believe they have educational and/or historical value, I suggest contacting the Manzanar National Historic Site (contact information can be found on their web site). They might be interested. If not, they should be able to direct you to other entity that might.

I dont know why the above blurb says that ” Tom angle says: your comment is awaiting moderation…”.before my comment about my Grandmother’s letters… I did’nt type that in . Perhaps it’s just a step in the format, or something. I don’t know… oh well. Blessings to you all ‘…Tom Angle

Greetings and salutations. I have a vintage copy of the “Tulerian” christmas 1943 issue, and several letters that were mailed to Grandmother by a woman who was imterned at Tule lake at the time. They offer a window into the life these people were subjected to, and may be of some value to someone. I consider this kind of ephemeris very interesting, but that they are addressed to my own Grandmother makes them even more precious to me. I have often wondered if there are any descendants of the woman that penned these letters, and would’nt it be kind of special for them to know about them… I sometimes feel that these letters might belong in a Japanese American museum, or something… does anyone have any comment, or interest ? Or, is there a forum where this can be shared ? Thank you, have a pleasant everything. Tom Angle

I am interested in attending the 2010 pilgrimage. It has been 10 years since I last attended in 2000. To make
arrangements, I would like to know the dates and place of departure.

I read about your very sucessful 2009 pilgrimage.

Aloha, Lily

When will the next pilgrimage be?

My grandfather, aunts and uncles were all taken to Tule Lake while my father served in WWII. Not sure about the descent part or why they were in Tule Lake, but I have records, and it appeared to me that they were just taken to Tule Lake because the family lived up north in Yuba.

Descent againts our government is patriotism, and every American has the right to question what our government is doing when they know what it’s doing is wrong.
