M. HAGIHARA "TRUCK" FARM (Green Chevy. flatbed)  Route 8 Okla. City (Taylor's Ranch sometime after 1939)  The beasts of burden benefit from the transition to war time economy..."TrucK Farm" on door indicates advancement into the next level of prosperity...

G-On (Mi'no'ki'chi  Ha'gi'ha'ra), Jimmy Pollock (The Hired Hand), My Dad's '39 Ford with O-C & De-De (Saito), and By-On (Ki'chi Kato Hagihara).

G-On    o'ji san  - a man; Sir; Mister; our grandfather.                                                                                                                                                           

By-On   o'ba san  - an older lady;  our grandmother. 

Jimmy Pollock passed on a occupational deferment and went to war and was killed in Italy.... a true American hero....I wonder today if he left because we looked like the enemy...or he wanted to fight Hitler.

Jimmy the youngest and only raisin to hatch in S Cal..1955...near Hollywood...I've seen him in, Farewell to Manzanar.., Blood and Orchids(mini series)  ..Henry Fool (proprietor of a mom and pop store...like dads Aloha Market in south central)..all social struggles.

O-C( for continuous sound ) hiro'shi - 'five fathoms in depth'; a mentor, a master, a person to look up to.   Lives in California,  actor, educator, coach, sen'sa'i, black belt @ Se'inan Do'jo the real McCoy.  He rode his pony Smokey with one sterrup and drug me around on a sled behind the tractor...hey "' beats walking"...The longest one on one network TV martial arts fight scene with "Caine" who was "Bound for Glory"...Which I have since upgraded to four stars...watch it again...it's got it all... It just wasn't David C's time...IMHO way beyond Henry's in Grapes......by the way Jane asked the question at Lt. Watada's fund raiser..."How much will his defense cost?"....Without knowing.... I think she was considering making a substantial contribution.........the Lt's in big trouble today....but rapidly on his way to raisin status.

De-De  Lil'ly  U'ri'ko Buyers-  flower (girl)  Lived in California, NY, Chicago or Paris.  meditates like Uma's dad... She is more of a spiritual type...anything from Yoga to Zen...Bill Buyers was a true maestro.

The sign painter man from Mulligan Flats must have talked G-On into painting the trucks doors...it's not something he would do on his own accord.

The real life Green Hornet and Kato
