GENERAL MEETING! Mark your calendars because it’s time for the October general meeting of the Sunnyvale Historical Society. The meeting will be held on Monday October 4, 2010 starting at 7:30 pm in the upstairs meeting room of the Heritage Park Museum.
The title of the talk is, "Days of Waiting" presented by Ken Koga, Japanese American Internee, President of Lockheed Martin Management Association Retirees.

The presentation will include the viewing of a documentary of an extraordinary woman, Estelle Ishigo, one of the few Caucasians to be interned with 120,000 Japanese-Americans in 1942. Estelle refused to be separated from her Japanese-American husband of 13-years and lived with him for three years behind barbed wired in the desolate Heart Mountain internment camp in Wyoming. Her sketches and watercolors formed a moving portrait of the lives of the internees, and the struggle to keep their health, dignity, and hopes alive. (Flyer of the Presentation)
