People/Subject
Fukumoto, Naoyuki "Joe"
Naoyuki "Joe" Fukumoto was born in Fernridge on August 8, 1922 to Keizo and Ichi Fukumoto. He attended Glenwood School. He was 18 years old when the war stated. The Fukumoto family was evacuated from Langley in May 1942; to stay together they all went to the sugar beet farms in Alberta. Joe remembers his mother being very scared. The family wasn't allowed to take many belongings other than clothing. A neighbour was asked to look after the farm, and he sent the family some money from the sale of their produce, until he wrote saying he wasn’t allowed to do that anymore. Joe later settled in Calgary and married Kinuyo.
