Katsuo Carl Imakyure, in Los Angeles 1940
This person may have been a relative. It’s hard to know. My father had a letter sent to some government agency looking for him. Recent internet searches turned up photos, and this document, which is a record of the 1940 census. He boarded at a house at 305 E. 2nd St. in Los Angeles. This…
