Great Regulars: You could see it in the shadow.

It was very, very strange, very ironic that we would be imprisoned whereas my uncle was free.

He brought me a cowboy belt. In essence, he told me, "You're not a prisoner or an internee. You're a cowboy." I wore that belt every day for about three or four years. [--Lawson Inada]
