OH YEAH FOR OHYE!

OH YEAH FOR OHYE! Minoru Ohye is one of those rare individuals who you either like or you haven’t yet had the pleasure to meet. His network of good friends includes dozens of fellow residents of Eskaton Wilson Manor, a West Sacramento affordable apartment community, and a hundred or so fellow veterans at the local VFW where he volunteers regularly.

The 85-year-old Ohye is also a former WWII POW, the result of which separated him from his only brother more than 60 years ago.

Call it Karma, but that historic injustice is about to be rectified.

Eskaton’s Thrill of a Lifetime Initiative “found” his brother in Japan and then reunited the siblings by mail. Now with the support of more than a hundred generous donors, including California State Assembly Member Mariko Yamada, funds have been raised to send Ohye to Japan to reunite in person with his long-lost brother.

The intercontinental reunion is scheduled for later this year.
