– [ ] “ Minnie Negoro was also a student, who didn’t graduate in our class; I think she graduated in the next class, but she had been taken out of the Japanese internment camp by Laura Andresen [who is this??] and sent to Alfred, so that she was there working her way through her graduate program; but she had been interned with her Japanese family at Santa Anita racetrack in Los Angeles. She hated her Japanese heritage. She was nisei, born here, and Leach was a big influence on her, and he spent a lot of time with her, telling her about how important Japanese art was.” https://www.aaa.si.edu/download_pdf_transcript/ajax?record_id=edanmdm-AAADCD_oh_247188
