Adrienne: I understand you recently rode a train from Milwaukee to Minneapolis. Was this the first time you ever rode a train?

Vivian: No, I have been on a train many times as a young person but recently in the past 3 or 4 years I have ridden a train again several times. There was a period of time in my life that I did not ride the train, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

Adrienne: How is it different riding the train now then it was back when you were younger?

Vivian: When I was younger they had a different set of train people. Back then, you weren't served meals at your seat. You had, if they had a dining car, if they had a dining car, you could go into the dining car and eat but some trains, especially on short distances, like when I lived in Jaffy, Missouri, it was halfway between Memphis and St. Louis. Those were short routes and they did not have dining cars. On this trip that we just got back from yesterday, we had our, we were in the lower car because it's a handicap car. My sister is handicapped, and they brought us a menu, and they brought us a full dinner, including salad and dessert and coffee or tea, whatever we would like to drink.

Adrienne: How was the food on the train? Was it better than plain food?

Vivian: Oh, much better. Much better. It was fixed. The chef's did a fantastic job and I understand that it is cooked on the train. It may not be all cooked on the train but it certainly is prepared and the salads are prepared on the train so that you don't get these package food tastes.

Adrienne: That sounds fun though.

Vivian: Oh, it was great fun! We enjoyed every minute of it.

Sadako was a little Japanese girl, who went to school and played with her friends like all children do. One day, however, when she was twelve, she got diagnosed with leukemia. The year was 1955.

Ten years have passed since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Many people died and were injured during these bombings. But many more got really ill and died in the years after. Sadako was one of those people.

She was hospitalized and was given about a year to live. Someone in the hospital told her that if she folds 1000 paper cranes by the end of the year, she will get better. In Japan it is believed that anyone who folds 1000 cranes within a year is usually granted a wish.

Sadako started folding, she was determined to fold all the 1000 cranes as soon as possible. Hospital staff and patients were helping her by giving her medicine packages, and other unusual materials. Soon, other people started making paper cranes in the hope to get better. Her optimism was contagious. She gave many patients hope. Sadako passed away on October 25th1955 but since then her story has touched millions. The paper crane has become the symbol of peace and hope.
