"They caught me and locked me up in the camp one night I was with a one other cellmate and tt was made out of wood. I didn't think about running away at first but my cellmate convinced me that we should try. There were patrolling soldiers around. In the morning, we waited for the patrolling soldier to pass by. We broke a piece of wood and just ran for it. We ran as far and as fast as we could. I didn't even get his name. If we hadn't escaped we would have been sent to Thailand to work on the infamous "Death railroad"

"I still don't forgive the Japanese to this day"

"I would not be supportive of it, neither would I be against it. From my experience, the individual Japanese person is a good person. But when in a group they can be quite mean. I once for worked for a Japanese soldier that treated me very well"

"They were really that cruel. I saw two heads hanging off a bridge. If you don't believe it I cannot force you. But I have seen it."

"Yes I have one friend. He is as old as me. We worked together in the Japanese camp. We used to talk on the phone a lot. I want to call him but I'm afraid to find out if he's dead"
