why would anyone still regard the resistance of these writers to the perspectives and experiences of people who are different than they are as legitimate? Anne Morrison, BS ’84 (history), JD ’88 La Grande, Oregon
Memories of Michi
I was delighted to see the article on Michi Yasui in the Autumn 2018 Oregon Quarterly. I knew her and her family intimately because we were from the same hometown, Hood River. I am also an alumna of the UO and attended the special commencement in which Michi was honored. Her brother also fled Eugene to Colorado for fear of being interned. He was honored when all the former students of the UO were given honorary diplomas. Mitzi Asai Loftus, BA ’54 (education), MA ’62 (interdisciplinary studies) Ashland, Oregon
CORRECTION: The birthplace of novelist Franz Kafka was misidentified in a story in the Autumn issue. He was born in Prague, Czech Republic.
