Nha Trang trip
Ken, FYI, I wish I was with you! I turned at Nha Trang late last Dec and we drove down to Dalat. Also, I am no longer on the Board of LPOV. Had enough, we'll talk when you get home. Leaving on my HD for New Mexico and Angel Fire VN Memorial for the next week. Keep up that great trip and give our best to Tran. Mike Meyer

All great shots uncle Kent. She looks so pretty and lovely. She now let you pose photos and even tries to look cute in front of the camera haha. Did she get chicken pox? I see some yellow spots on her face. Hope everything is going great for the Tran family.

Sarah
Yes, Huan is a native Vietnamese. He is an anctor/director and has just completed a major movie and directed a TV show that is on Vietnamese television right now. Trang is three or four months pregnant and will have a boy next fall. The family is so happy to have a boy they ordered up a special Mass for him..

love the ACDC t-shirt!
I'm sure I've forgotten from past blogs. Is Huan a native to Vietnam? What is his work? Sarah is a real sweetheart. Looks like she might have a little sister or brother later in the year? Tell everyone hello and we all wish you well in your travels.

Dr. DeRamus in Marion, AL
Hello Mr. Converse, I enjoyed reading your blog entry about traveling through Selma and Marion. I grew up in Marion and my mother worked for Dr. DeRamus for many years. His house that you have pictured on your blog was the home that he lived in when he passed away. It neighbored my parents' property. I remember the house that he lived in when you visited him for Thanksgiving in 1966. It was located on Centerville Street and the gentleman who drove the mule pulled wagon was a regular sight on that street.

Danang Catholic Church
I drove past this beautiful church twice each day for 18 months, September 1967 through March 1969. The church was not open to military personnel. Thank you for having the pictures of the interior. I have hoped to return to Danang and visit the church.

Hello
The email you talk about sounds like it originated from the last LOVN, Library of Vietnam trip. I was not on that trip and I am not officially associated with LOVN. I understand they had a Ken in their last group who donated money to build a library and was disgrunteled with something which I understand that all the feathers have been smothed. My email address is: kentconverse2005@yahoo.com Please send me the email your talking about. If you want to talk to Chuck Theuech the EO of LPOVN, just google it and you will find his contact info. Have a good day. Kent

bong son , binh dinh library
There is an email circulated in my group about " Pat & Kent ( no last name" about their disappointment ( cost , name “Bong Son – Lucky Star Library and Learning Center”, function : school instead of libray and dedication) with the library they paid for in Bong son , Binh Dinh . Is it a true story?

furniture
About Arthur de la Salle's furniture. The sofa's I believe belonged to his mother who had also resided on various plantations. Some other furnishings as well. There was an original dining room and chairs that had belonged to him. The round tables and chairs that were later placed in that room were reproductions. He mentioned that he had found out that the Greens had two round tables in the room instead of one. There also was a wonderful painting of his ancestor in what I called his little library. He had some very good and rare books and also in the foyer there was a Meissen clock displayed when entering to the right. Many paintings, like that one of the boys, of Springfield Plantation and of the Galleon were painted by Arthur . So some people who attended the auctions ( I understand his possessions were auctioned off) were really lucky and others have purchased good reproductions. Unfortunately what did not happen was that some of his possessions remained with Springfield Plantation. That was something he had wished for.
