Virginia lives with her father and mother, Rokuro and Ayako Okubo, on a farm a few miles from Arlington Heights and goes back and forth by bus. She is the first Nisei to attend St. Peter Lutheran School and her teachers remark both at her brightness and at the ease with which she has made a great number of friends in the school.
