Description
Full title:Maremaro Shibuya, the 160-pound baby of the Ryohitsu Shibuya family of Mountain View, in the driver's seat of his father's tractor. Mare is helping to get the 12-acre outside nursery into shape for a lot of Fall planting of beautiful blooms. He recently returned from Minneapolis, where he attended high school since leaving Heart Mountain in 1942. Maremaro is the only member of the younger Shibuyas who does not sport a college degree. And his alibi is he simply has not lived long enough. I'll stumble through college some way, he says, and make it unanimous. Mare's two sisters, Masago and Madoka, have Master's degrees from Stanford and his oldest brother is a Chemistry Master. Yoshimaro was recently blown out of his senior classrooms at the University of Nebraska six weeks before commencement by the famous little document which, CHEERILY enough starts out Greetings. However, he received his degree in Electrical Engineering after induction. Yosh is now headed overseas--westward--and Mare hopes to join him if the Pacific war lasts a couple of years until he is 18. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Mountain View, California.
