Our speaker, Craig Rains is the son of the Assistant Projector Director of the WWII Japanese Internment Camp in Arkansas where George Takei (Star Trek’s Mr. Sulu) and his family were detained during the war. Craig will share his memories and images of life in the camp and his recent reconnection with Takei at the latter’s New York musical that provides the Japanese-American perspective on those experiences. Admission is $10.00 cash or check. Contact The Rappahannock Historical Society with questions at 540-675-1163 or rapphistsoc@comcast.net.
