Brief Summary: Masatoshi explains when his father first became a gardener
Transcription
My father's name is Teizo Matsunaga. My name is Masatoshi Matsunaga. He originally started off as a farmer, according to family history. And as - I don't know how he got into gardening, but I guess after the third child was born I think he wanted to move into the city. Either in the late, late 1900's, 1929 or early 1930's, he probably started. And he was working in Los Angeles.
