    Greetings from Colorado,

    What a pleasant surprise to see this. Thank you kindly for posting it, of which we also have a copy in our family album. My late Uncle, Kazuo Takamatsu (1922-1947), stands in the back row, fourth from the right. He was the eldest son of Sadakichi and Tetsu Takamatsu of Inverness and later Bay Farm.

    According to my Aunties, Mrs. Kaye Takamatsu-Butler and Ms. Kuni Takamatsu of Montreal, this picture was snapped near the ice rink in Bay Farm by Mr. Tak Toyota, whose studio was located downtown in Slocan City. Mr. Toyota took many fine photographs chronicling the happier moments during the internment, and graciously snapped the last family photo of the Takamatsus together at Bay Farm in April 1946 before the family's deportation in October of that year.

    We very much appreciate the work you are doing. Thank you again.

    Kindest regards,
    Will Takamatsu Thompson
    (son of Matsue Takamatsu)
    Denver, Colorado
