New Heart Mountain Website!

I
'm very pleased to announce www.heartmountain.net, a newly redesigned website of the Heart Mountain, Wyoming Foundation, on whose Board of Directors I serve. It's my first foray into web design! I think I'll be keeping my day job ... but it's definitely serviceable.

This is an exciting time for the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation, whose mission is to educate the public about the story of the Heart Mountain Relocation Center for Japanese Americans in World War II. With the successful installation of a comprehensive Walking Tour of the site, we are now launching our campaign to build a state-of-the-art Interpretive Learning Center on our land at the site.

Did you know that former U.S. Secretary of Transportation (and U.S. Congressman) Norman Mineta and former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson (WY) met and became friends as twelve-year-old Boy Scouts at a Jamboree behind the barbed wire of the Heart Mountain Relocation Center, where Mineta's family was incarcerated? Click here to read a letter from Mineta and Simpson about their support for our planned Interpretive Learning Center.

Time passes quickly regarding these affairs; all my relatives who were sent to Heart Mountain are dead. Only Topaz survivors now.
