"David Lloyd George" in name only is what remains of the school where writer Joy Kogawa studied before being transported to a Japanese internment camp almost seventy-five years ago. I took a group of students to her nearby house a couple of decades ago. Joy is still alive, and remaining vital I trust. The school where she learned to read and write, and now reduced to a carved stone plinth for sitting on unsettles.
