ABSTRACT:
INTERVIEW HISTORY: I interviewed Mr. Nakamura in his home on Fay Avenue in La Jolla on the afternoon of December 16, 2002. We sat in his living room and talked together for two hours. Mr. Nakamura told me that he had never been interviewed for an oral history. He was very softspoken, but was in excellent health and good spirits. We were interrupted once by the mailman and again at the end of the interview when Mrs. Marie Nakamura came into the room. During our conversation, Mr. Nakamura showed me photographs from his album depicting his years at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Most of these showed him working on the R/V Scripps. In my subsequent correspondence, I addressed him as Dr. Nakamura, and in a note sent on December 27, 2002, he corrected me: “Evacuation and subsequent incarceration in 1942 precluded the completion of my degree requirements. Conditions following the war forced me to abandon those pursuits. The title is Mr., not Dr.” Deborah Cozort Day Archivist, SIO/UCSD December 23, 2003
