I just found out my grandfather was a young Japanese student who witnessed the bombings of Hiroshima before his very eyes. Surprisingly he survived the disaster and went on to become a great man.
In 1948 he contacted a local fishery and came into contact with an American brigade sailing the Pacific in the late 40's. After arriving in San Francisco he took work as a part time auto mechanic and devoted the rest of his time to authoring several magazine articles covering the spread of Japanese culture in California. Soon thereafter, in his early twenties he came across a prostitute with whom he fathered his first child, a young boy whom he named Satoshi. A few years thereafter he wed a young girl working in Hollywood who was the daughter of Scottish immigrants. With her he had his second son, a wonderful boy named Stephen.
Stephen went on to marry the daughter of Catholic Polish/Czech immigrants to the United States with whom he fathered his one and only son, Jacob.
