SCUSD to Honor Two World War II ‘Survivors’
Award-winning author interned after Pearl Harbor and rare tree both to be celebrated at ceremony on Friday
April 18, 2012 (Â鶹ÊÓƵ): Kiyo Sato, 88, is a survivor. A native of Â鶹ÊÓƵ, her Japanese American family became the target of prejudice after the attack on Pearl Harbor and was eventually forced to live in an internment camp in Arizona.
Despite these struggles, Ms. Sato eventually returned to Â鶹ÊÓƵ, joined the U.S. Air Force, finished her education and become a successful school nurse and award-winning author.
A rare pink almond tree on Folsom Boulevard near the Rancho Cordova library is a survivor, too.
