[Dorcas A. Gerace]

Hi Rose, Cecile Levin bought Muramoto's business not long after he died.
She felt moved to take it over because she did not want to see it go unattended. In my concerns over her health because of the long hours she was devoting to it, she indicated to me it was more work than what she guessed was needed in spite of her own Center needs. She worked into the wee hours of the morning with all the paperwork. She did not get to the point of beginning to contact the herbalists in San Francisco before she died.

I have tried to find out what happened to the business since she died. She had 2 daughters and I am guessing they are the ones who have wrapped up her final business. I wonder if we will ever see it be resurrected. I heard that Muramoto's son was working to revive the soy sauce, but nothing since I heard this 7 or so years ago.

Ida Muramoto took the 2 daughters and went back to Italy right after Mr. M died...
