Description
Full title:Relocation to the Oku family was only a matter of returning to their home from their voluntary relocation in Denver, Colorado. The Masao and Leonard Okus were among the vanguard of Santa Clara County evacuees returning to their homes early in March of this year. The Okus are florists with the series of large greenhouses at Wright and Baily Avenues, Mountain View. Shown in the picture in the garden of the Oku home are William Toshio Koyano, 7, a neighbor boy, David Oku, 5, Unosuke, father of Leonard and Masao, and Mrs. Yoshie Oku, mother of Leonard and Masao. In the back row are Mrs. Alice Oku and her husband, Masao. The Okus are large producers of carnations and other blooms, and from the start they have been marketing their product through the established channels in San Francisco without incident of any kind. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Mountain View, California.
