I think thJs says sOmethlnll of a man's stature. We hove heard the damnation of mony a JACL Ogure. But even those who disagreed with Mas have liked him. 'and respocled him. He never Intimidated others with his wisdom or hls yeort of service.
He was not an eloqucnt speaker. wringing the teare and tearing the emoUon •. But then perhops he was the most eloquent man ot Our Urne •. Nothing speaks better than truth. He told It as It W8l. or as he believed It was. He de-lIvered his mesng. dlreclly to you In concise languale. He empioyed no middlemen.
He was probably the low-est paid executive. perform-Ing some of the lowliest chores. The tired and drab surroundings In whlch we quartered him. were .s . hab-by as the wages. If he felt our neglect. he never uttered them publicly.

• • BEST ON A ONE·To.oNE·BASIS
Washington JACL has lost a friend . With the passing of Mas
Satow, JACL will miss a man who dedicated his life to more than just an organization but a conviction. That conviction which Mas held most dearly was the eradication of discrimination of all races In Amer· ica.
I relll'et that I did not know Mas on a more per-sonal basis. However, as is with many Sansei, we can only say that " he knew our parents much better". Perhaps h e knew me better when I was a young boy. It was in the '40s and '50s when Mas and the Horiuchi famUy held JACL "get-togethers" in Salt Lake City for him. I only have a vague recollection of those "ret-togethers" but I do have a vivid understanding of the history of Mas Satow, the "spirit of JACL".
I know that Mas took care of all of the "nitty-gritty" things that had to be done, that he was the conciliator w hen things got out of hand, and that he never complained about his role. His ever present smile told you so.
His legacy will never be forgotten. The legacy is said in the conception of JACL, his leadership through the war years, the formulation of the Anti-Discrimina-tion Committee, and the growth of JACL in the post-\\'l1f years. Like a fanner titling bJs field , Mas was al-ways in the fi £ld cultivating the membershio. Mas was best on the personal "one-to-one" basis, always trad-inll quips or personal experiences which he had with
