I was one of the children born in Tanforan assembly center before spending three years in the Topaz "relocation" camp near Delta, Utah. My father, Dave M. Tatsuno, took umovies with his smuggled in camera. His film TOPAZ is one of only two home movies inducted into the Library of Congress' National Film Archives.b the other is the Abraham Zapruder JFK assassination film. Excerpts of dad's film appeared in Ken Burns' PBS WW II documentary THE WAR, and in the film SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS. Photos of my family, taken by Dorothea Lange, have been shown in the Smithsonian.<br /><br />Please send me information on your programs to: Box 796, Sun Valley, Idaho 83353Rod Tatsunonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34090149.post-3094570920117661822015-05-12T05:21:37.025-07:002015-05-12T05:21:37.025-07:00I have been trying to identify a metal font I acqu...I have been trying to identify a metal font I acquired and came across a photo of this grabhorn press book. I was excited to see some interior pages, but alas the font I own is not identified. It is used to set the words "Cast by United States Founders". Any chance you have additional images of that page, or know the name of that particular font? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

On a fair, breezy summer day, Virginia rode in state through the streets of San Francisco on a float emblazoned with a large banner identifying her as having named the Fair. The float bore about 50 African-American children and was organized by the Alameda County Colored American Civic Center. <br />Virginia’s early successes were predictive. When she won the Call contest, she had just been promoted to eighth grade at the top of her class. Mary Church Terrell, journalist and founding president of the National Association of Colored Women, said of her, “One might travel a long distance before meeting a girl with brighter eyes, a more intelligent, pleasant countenance and a more prepossessing personality.” Virginia attended the University of California at Berkeley, graduated from Boalt Law School, and in 1929 became the first African-American woman admitted to the Bar in California. She went on to a long career in the State Office of Legislative Counsel.Laura Ackleyhttp://www.sf1915.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34090149.post-27849513672447813052015-02-24T14:20:46.064-08:002015-02-24T14:20:46.064-08:00I believe the red and yellow Informant cover was i...I believe the red and yellow Informant cover was illustrated by my firm (Patterson & Sullivan, later Patterson & Hall and today P&H Creative Group).
