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?

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

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.

nice to see your post
im a vietnamese and im very pleased you enjoyed trung vit lon. Most westerners do not enjoy it very much because of the unappealing sight of the half matured duck embryo. I am rather amazed when i read that you ate dog meat. I would think it unbearable for westerners to even try this dish as it is a most beloved pet animal in the whole world.

Ruth Smith and the China Beach Orphanage
My mother Ruth Smith was the hostess for teams from the China Beach Orphanage in Viet Nam. The teams were composed of those who needed open heart surgery or who were looking to be adopted. We lived in Redondo Beach, California. We would pick up the teams at the airport, keep them in our home and sometimes take them to Disneyland. I have reconnected with Cong who was a little girl who was the only survivor in her village when it was attacked. I wonder what ever happened to a girl named Trai who came for open heart surgery and was adopted by an American family named Kramer. Her American name was Sarah Kramer. Please pass my meassage and information on to Stanley Smith. God bless! Bill Shuler

Hello
Larry, You should go to Vietnam. With your experience, you would have a good time. I think you would be amazed how much Vietnam has changed and is changing every day. Yet, you go out in the country and it is much the same. I leave for VN the 16th for a month. Not long enough but I have to return anyway. Yours, Kent

Ms. Crum, apparently you are one of those Yankees who is oblivious to Southern humor. Apparently you are also a person who likes run on sentences.

Dinh thi Muon found!
Just a note to say that thanks to Mr. Kent Converse and many people around the United States and in Vietnam I was able to find Dinh thi Muon. She was adopted from the China Beach (My Khe) orphanage in 1972 by a family in the United States and changed her name to Sarah. She is now living in Hawaii and I have talked with her on the telephone. It has been a long 31 year search. I would also like to thank Mr. Ha for trying to find information on her in Vietnam. Even though you did not have success, Mr. Ha, I really appreciate the effort you made. Thank you so much for trying.

stationed @ hai van pass 67-68
Hello, i was stationed @ hai van pass in 67-68 with the usmc on hill 724, that would be the one on the east or ocean side of the village. Doesn't appear to be anything on the mountain top anymore but i remember the bunkers & the village. The hwy was one lane but now i see it has been widened to two lane, i think the army did this not to long after i left. Ialso see from my surfing the internet that they have now built a tunnel thru the mtns. Enjoyed the pictures & i would love to visit there myself. SEMPER FI
