000003239 520__ $$aIn this interview UOMS alumnus Katsumi J. Nakadate talks about his experiences as a Japanese American, a doctor, and a decorated WWII veteran. He begins as one of 5 Asian Americans in the class of 1939. While not feeling racial animus, none of them were able to get local internships. He took his internship and his internal medicine residency in the Midwest. He describes attitudes towards Asian Americans there and an encounter with the FBI after Pearl Harbor. He returns to his early years in Portland, and starting the first all-Nisei Boy Scout there. He joined ROTC while at UOMS, and was called to service in an Airborne unit. He was shot down over Germany and was given a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. On return home, his wounds precluded him from continuing his general practice, so he switched to anesthesiology, joining the staff of St. Vincent Hospital in 1956 until his retirement in 1980.
