In a letter from Katherine to her mother (Lenore), she writes: "We aren't going to spoil her in fact we're going to be careful to see that other folks don't. She won't be picked up or rocked it would be fun to rock her when she's awake but she will be sweeter without so much attention."
In the early days, Katherine writes of having house-help "a Japanese girl." She came half day every day (2:30 in the afternoon until the dinner dishes are done") and full day on Saturday. They paid her $2.50/week. Katherine writes: "Did you ever hear of anyone working so cheap?" Compare this to a later letter where she complains about the high prices of food. She describes her grocery bill at $35/mo (maybe that's what they could afford?). Says "... I run short sometimes if I don't be awful careful."

| Notes |
- Reading the El Segundo yearbook of 1951, I read that Miki was editor of the school newspaper and that was in its third year of publication.
I also noticed that Charlie Brokaw and Darlene Smith (who would latter marry) were both of her class. I know that Miki and Darlene were childhood friends. I can only guess that Darlene and Charlie were also acquainted with each other. They eventually married and lived the remainder of their lives (so far) in Newport Beach (Corona Del Mar), then in Laguna Beach.
All three of them would attend UCLA. Charlie would go onto earn a PhD and teach Marine Biology at Cal Tech.
