Nurse Hamaguchi

I would love to know this woman's history. Was Nurse Hamaguchi an inmate at Manzanar? What fate befell her family Did any brothers enlist? What happened to her after the war?
[Aiko Hamaguchi was born in Long Beach, grew up in Redondo Beach, had completed her pre-nursing studies at Los Angeles Community College and was doing her training at Los Angeles Harbor General when she was evacuated. She joined the medical staff at Manzanar on March 21, 1943. Later that year or in 1944 she left the camp for a job at a medical office in Detroit. - Dave]

Adams captured a wonderful expression on nurse's face. Lovely.

I think she's a lot prettier than that thing! I'm a straight female, but my first thought was "Now I know why men have nurse fetishes!"

Her face reminds me of the Zenith Radio Nurse, the first baby monitor, designed by Isamu Noguchi.
