Shinmoto discusses name, birth date, birthplace and growing up during the Great Depression. He recalls his Father and Mother's personality and child rearing. Shinmoto's Father is a quiet man and he learns about his Father history through his Uncle. His Mother is the instrumental person who instills Japanese culture and identity in the household. Growing up there is not much free time. Shinmoto attends
