ARLINGTON -- Rangers bench coach Don Wakamatsu's paternal grandparents spent World War II in a West Coast internment camp.
When the war was over, Jim and Ruth Wakamatsu bought a 40-acre fruit farm in Hood River, Ore., east of Portland along the Columbia River. The farm is still owned by the family and producing cherries, pears, peaches and apples.
Wakamatsu's parents -- Leland and Sandra -- are retired, living on the farm and still making it work. When Wakamatsu was young, he helped on the farm with his father and grandparents during the summer, although Leland worked in construction most of the year in the San Francisco Bay Area.
