Per a conversation with Elsie Andrade, Feb. 26, 2000 at the Matsuri display,
Paul would never have used the black volcanic rock which makes up the sides
of the pond. The sentence in question is derived from the Oct. 27,

Paul just do the labor with other-specified materials? Would he have
used materials in a design he did not agree with? According to Elsie,
no. |

Afterwards [Rex Tsutsumida] moved to Cleveland, Ohio and then New York
where he learned English by watching the motion pictures which were changed

Per a conversation with Rex, Feb. 26, 2000 at the Matsuri display -- the
first chance RJB had to speak with Mr. Tsutsumida since the latter's move
from the Valley in 1989 -- the subject knew English quite well before moving
to Cleveland. I have not found the specific reference in my book
notes, but I believe the information came from a conversation with Leroy.
