GI Bill

Toshiyuki Nakasone

Toshiyuki is discharged in January 1946.

With the aid of the GI Bill and wages from part-time jobs, he resumes studies at the University of Hawaii (UH).

Among more notable changes at UH is the change in the male-female ratio. With many returning veterans not yet on campus, women outnumber men. Among the women is Grace Tsugawa whom Toshiyuki marries after graduation in 1947.

He earns his fifth-year diploma in education in 1948.
