Marilyn "Winkie" Takahashi-Fordney - Fr. Flanagan Story (2024)
Join us as we journey through a powerful and personal account from Marilyn "Winkie" Takahashi-Fordney, who recounts her experience as a young girl. At just six years old, she sat on the curb, filled with confusion and fear as her family's belongings were taken away, unsure of what the future held.
Marilyn and her family were moved to an internment camp, living in a one-room structure surrounded by identical black tarp homes. In a touching display of creativity and love, her mother crafted a paper duck to place in their window, helping Marilyn find her way back to their unique home.
