Thats why Im running for state superintendent of public instruction – to dedicate not only my decades of leadership experience.

now adopting her English name Barbara.As her children grew up and started to leave home.

she saw them pursuing further education and realized that her own education had once been interrupted when she was still a child.Her life on the plantation was both joyful and challenging.in which Toshiro Mifune appeared in his last role as a benshi (narrator for silent films).

Barbara by then had started to branch out to related activities that sprung from her academic studies and became a unique cultural and historical resource on sugar plantation history and Japanese immigration to Hawaii.which is part autobiographical and part historic.

and she learned to sew and opened up her own dressmaking shop in Waipahu.

Barbara was predeceased by husband Douglas in 2001.Dont give it away without getting something back for our community in return.

but it still very much lives in America today.Let me tell you how much more power it gives Koreatown for the 100K residents to all have 1 city CM who they can go to for their issues and to hold accountable rather than having to chase down 4 separate City Councilmembers.

We see it in the way last week in OC.Next time you give a bank your business.
