Description
Yasukochi begins the interview talking about his family background, and his father coming from Japan and becoming a farmer in California despite alien land laws. They would become known for their chili peppers at the farm. Next, he talks about growing up in California, fishing and hunting for fun as it was the middle of the Great Depression and toys were out of reach. After this, he talks about his schooling and education, learning Japanese, so that he could speak to his parents.
