My father was so kind to him and of course to everybody. He used to eat with us N'NN*7\N''N'7 So when Doc Hill heard about my father was being detained in a Hilo relocation camp, he went down right away and because he was a Senator, got him out of there, and so we were very lucky. And so my father always used to tell us “ongaeshi” if you give good things then something good will always come back, and that is what we learned from our parents*P After my father was released, maybe I think about less than a week the Shinto Shine problem came 7]+[N*NN7 few days later the FBI (agents) came for the second time, then my father called my brother and me, and told us to take these two men up to see the Kamisama (shrine).

In the beginning, the FBI started looking around, and all of a sudden one FBI agent picked up a stick and started wrecking the walls outside. The other FBI agent entered inside and scratched everything inside, tore up all the kakejiku (scrolls) and smashed the glass casing and took all the Shinto precious documents with them. My whole family was shocked and scared. This is something that I will never forget. At the '**N''N'*P
