Cool. Soon after the war, one of my cousins (much older than myself!) married a Japanese guy in the Grand Island area. I always thought that was sort of remarkable for that time and place only to discover, after some research and a few conversations, that they (the Japanese side of the family) were very respected by everyone around and had been for many generations. A fair number of them were well regarded college football players in the day! I'm always happy to find that some people weren't as prejudiced as modern culture makes them out to be.
My aunt and uncle live in Grand Island - we took many vacations there when I was a kid (probably because we were farmers and couldn't go very far during the summer, so a four hour drive was do-able).
