Henry Togami oral history interview, part 1 of 3, May 17, 2007

Togami begins the interview with a brief introduction and talking about his family background. His father came over from Japan and went to Colorado to farm, and after having an arranged marriage, would settle down in New Mexico. Togami talks about growing up in Bluewater and attending Grants High School. He would attend New Mexico A&M and begin his degree in electrical engineering. After this, he would hear about the attacks on Pearl Harbor on the radio, and because he wasn't able to find work after graduating, he decided to join the Army. He would get inducted at Fort Bliss and join the 522nd Artillery at Camp Shelby where he trained with the instrumentation section.
