ln 1947-42 when my family moved to the Milan Ranch there was no school bus service for grade school, my brother and I walked to the highway and the High School bus picked us up. The bus was full, and we stood in the aisle looking at all these huge older students when a beautiful Japanese girl grabbed me by the hand and sat me on her lap, I gasped because I had seen newsreels of Japanese Americans being interned in camps. We had just moved from Gallup and the only Japanese person that we ever saw was Hershey Miyamura. Hershey was a very popular among his peers and was the center of attraction of teenagers laughing at the drugstore. Hershey joined the U.S. Service and became a hero during World War II, A memorial, a street, and a school are dedicated to Hershey in Gallup.
