Description
"This is the final revision and final up-date of the Senpai Gumi story started in November 1971, following our annual Kanraku Teahouse bash!
Sempai means fore-runner (Numba #1). We considered ourselves the fore-runners, the first group of Hawaii AJAs, to enter into the ranks of translator-interpreter-interrogator fields in the Asiatic-Pacific, Alaskan, CBI war fronts. And this was the first class into which the Mainland Kotonks volunteered from barbed wire Relocation Camps—Concentration Camps!? Though, we were the 2nd cycle Camp Savage, MISLS, Minnesota, November 1942-June 1943 graduates!"--From Foreword.
