Tomi, Kay and Tom in front of the Kitow House in Oakpark, 1944

The photo may be Tom's visit to Philadelphia in 1944?   Tomi left Topaz in Jan. 1944 to join Kay in Philadelphia (Kay was working at the NSRC headquarters).

On her train trip to Philadelphia, Tomi stopped in Nounan, Idaho to see the Kitows and in St. Louis, MO to see the Obatas.

When Tom was drafted, he was already working as an engineer in Chicago, having graduated from the U. of Nebraska in May 1943.  According to a note in Sus' Topaz file, Tom went to Philadelphia to visit Kay and Tomi.  He reported to/checked-in at the local WRA office and was told to return to Chicago to be drafted.
