She was born in Korbel, Humboldt County. . Although we searched extensively for her and any known connection to her and the Koizumi Kazuo or the Hearn family, nothing was found. . Obviously Ms. Laverty had visited Kazuo some time before 1956, perhaps in 1955 and as a thank you for Kazuo's hospitality while in Japan, she sent him a Christmas gift. .
