Fred Junior, born in Shanghai, left China in the late 30’s for an education in the United States. He was attending Harvard School of Business when WWII intervened. He heard from his parents that they were interred at Santo Thomas, the notorious war camp for civilians in Manila. Fred spent the next four years in the service of the construction battalion, one step behind the armies moving through the South Pacific all the way to Manila where he liberated his mother. Fred Senior did not survive the harsh environment of the camp. Junior went on to become the Senior Manager of Singer Sewing Machine Company in Tokyo, Japan and when he left Japan 14 years later, he bid farewell to many close friends.
