* Frank Yatsu, 108; One of Oldest Japanese-American Internees

Frank Yatsu, 108, one of the oldest of the Japanese-Americans interned during World War II. Yatsu was among 120,000 Japanese-Americans rounded up and sent to internment camps in 1942 after the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor. He also was one of the first internees to receive an apology and $20,000 check from the U.S. government in 1990. Two years earlier, Congress had passed a bill apologizing for the internment and authorizing the $20,000 payments to survivors. Born in Japan, Yatsu, a schoolteacher, immigrated to California in 1906. He spent three years in an Arizona relocation camp with his wife and four children. He later moved to Seattle, where he worked for a window company. Charles Yatsu said his father in his later years never expressed any bitterness toward the government over his internment.
