- <p> DIED. Ralph Lazo, 67, a non-Japanese American voluntarily
- interned in a World War II relocation camp; of liver cancer; in
- Los Angeles. When the internment of people of Japanese ancestry
- began in California in 1942, Lazo, who was of Mexican and Irish
- descent, decided to go with his Japanese-American friends to the
- Manzanar Relocation Center. He later explained, "These people
- hadn't done anything that I hadn't done except to go to Japanese
- language school." Lazo was subsequently drafted by the Army and
- was awarded a Bronze Star for heroism in combat.
