[42] Betty Kagawa Jan. 15, 1943 Autobiography My name is Betty Kagawa and I was born sixteen years ago in Honolulu, Hawaii. I am the eldest of a family of five children, of which four are girls. This is the first time in my life that I have been away from the islands. I lived on the island of Oahu and visited the island of Maui several times when I was a little child. I lived in the district of Kaimuki, which is one of the residential sections of the city of Honolulu. I lived among many people of different races Caucasians, Spanish, Koreans, etcetera. I attended Alualani School, which is an elementary school, Robert Louis Stevenson? Intermediate School and before I came here I was attend- ing Roosevelt High School. I had a pet dog whoe name was Duke. He was a mixture of a Spitz and a fox Terrier. Before we came here I had to give him up tp the Humane Society because we weren't allowed to bring any pets here. - Metadata URL:
