Talk:Eugene Dooman

"Foreign Minister Ohashi"
There was a redlink to Foreign Minister Ohashi in the article text, but I can't find who this Ohashi is meant to be (apparently not the main Japanese foreign minister, perhaps a ministry official is meant?) so I have changed this in the absence of a reference to Japanese Foreign Ministry in general. 78.32.103.197 (talk) 23:14, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

actually, dooman's father, isaac dooman, was trained as an episcopalian minister in new york at the general theological union, graduating in 1888. according to a new york times article of the time, he wanted to return to persia. obviously, that did not happen, as he and his wife, grace, ended up moving to nara, where he served for 37 years. eugene dooman's brother, david stoddard, was a physician who served in the army during world war ii in the american concentration camps set up for the japanese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.139.22 (talk) 00:00, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
