Robert Ragsac, during the 1930s grew up in “Pinoytown,” the Filipino community located primarily in a one to two block area between Heinlenville Chinatown and the expanding Japantown before its residents were forcibly removed and sent to concentration camps during World War II. Ragsac is currently in the process of gathering images, ephemera, and interviews to prepare a book about Pinoytown, in collaboration with Curt Fukuda. Ragsac recently organized the first known formal walking tour of Pinoytown, at the request of local college students and continues to give talks and presentations about Pinoytown and Filipino American history to students and community groups. Ragsac is a retired aerospace engineer who devotes his time to local history research and involvement with the local Filipino American community. He is a board member of the Filipino American National Museum in Stockton, California’s “Little Manila Town.”
