Description
Full title:Shugo William Seno came to New York in March, 1944, from the Jerome Relocation Center to take a job with a leading advertising art studio. The job had been offered to him ten days earlier on the strength of samples of his work which had been submitted to the head of the studio by a WRA relocation officer in New York. A native of San Luis Obispo, California, Mr. Seno--his co-workers in New York call him Bill--is an expert letterer. He attended a commercial art school in Los Angeles for three years and worked there for five years as an advertising artist prior to evacuation to the Santa Anita Assembly Center in April, 1942. While at Santa Anita, he was married to Miss Marie Nakagawa, also of Los Angeles. In October 1942, Mr. and Mrs. Seno went to Jerome, together with other members of both families. Still living at Jerome are Mrs. Seno and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ezo Nakagawa; also Mr. Seno's mother, Mrs. Fuji Seno, his grandmother, and two brothers. New York, New York.
