Abstract
REGION X (NOT 10)9 by Peter M. Jamero, Sr.• In California, the family was conditioned to automobile rides during two-hour trips to visit relatives or for the 6-8 hours it took to go on vacations to Disneyland and San Diego. None were nearly as long as the trip we took in July 1970 to our new home in Bellevue, Washington. The 900 mile trip in our 1962 Chevrolet station wagon took fifteen hours of straight driving with time out only to refuel and for potty breaks. It was the first of many round trips we would make to California in the next twenty years. Thanks goodness the kids were good travelers. The cross country moves we made during the past few years prepared us well for seeing to it that all the essential details in moving to a new locality were accomplished. Terri made sure the date the moving company delivered our household goods from Virginia and California coincided with our arrival in Bellevue. A bank account was opened in a neighborhood bank. The kids were registered in their new schools. I also bought another car to make the fifteen mile commute to Seattle - a 1960 Volkswagen. The transition to Bellevue went so well that we still had time to take a mini-vacation. We went to Vancouver, British Columbia, a three hour ride on Interstate 5 by car. Only a few short weeks ago, we had crossed the southern terminus of 1-5 into Tijuana, Mexico. Now, here we are crossing the northern terminus ofthe interstate into Canada. •submitted for publication February 22, 2000. The article was a chapter from the book "Growing Up Brown in America: Memoirs of a Bridge Generation Filipino American" which has been submitted to the University ofWashington Press for publication. 9Tue author, a Bridge Generation Filipino American, was born in 1930 and raised on a Filipino farm labor camp in Livingston, California.

He was also Assistant Professor of Rehabilitation at the University ofWashington and United Way Vice President. He was the first Filipino American to be appointed department head of a statewide program in the U.S. (Washington State 1972); the first Filipino American to be appointed department head in a major county (Seattle-King County 1982); the first Filipino American to be appointed department head in San Francisco (1989); and the first Filipino American to receive a tenure track faculty appointment at the University of Wa.,hington (1978). He was the founding Vice President ofthe FilipinoAmerican National Historical Society and received a gold award for lifetime achievement in government from FANHS in 1994. Semi-retired, he works part-time as Executive Director of the Mental Health Association of Merced County (CA) and lives in Atwater, California with his wife of 47 years, Terri, FANHS President Emerita. Filipino American National Historical Society Journal 41 After a year at academia, I was eager to get to work to my new job. I had yet to meet anyone from the new Seattle Regional Office and was understandably curious about my new co-workers. Our prior communications were through the mails or through the personnel staff at headquarters in Washington, D.C. The pre-employment process consisted only of a cursory review of my central office performance and obtaining favorable references from my superiors. I thought it unusual, but also flattering, that my new regional employers didn't even find it necessary to interview me for the position before approving my transfer request. My job description stated I was to serve as the primary federal representative in the region for all welfare, medical assistance, and social service programs authorized by the Social Security Act. I was knowledgeable and proficient in these same programs while working in Washington, D.C. headquarters. I expected to be as comfortable in interpreting them at the regional level. Moreover, my former job as Bureau Chief of Field Operations required me to be in regular contact with regional offices...

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
