Old photo of my great aunt and my mother

I found this picture in a box of my uncle's old things. The woman on the right is my mother just after coming to the United States (in her early 20s--close to my age!). And the woman on the left is Kisaye Sato, my great aunt who has always been like another grandmother to me. My mom is a Shin-Issei, but the relatives on Auntie Kisaye's side have been here forever, went through the camps... they're pretty quintessential Southern California JAs.
