What's my motivation for helping to pull this reunion together? The worst case scenario (which is really not a bad outcome at all!) is that Marilyn Luke, Mary Ellen Kwoh, Rick Fung and I have been emailing almost daily, and we're re-connecting in a very lovely way! Best case scenario is that a number of us are going to get together to celebrate the dedication of our parents in pulling the Family Fellowship together and creating a community for us "kids" back in the 50's. Just looking at the ties between the Hos, Lukes, Kwohs & Fungs: Mom met Lennie Luke before she left Honolulu in the early 1930's. Edwin Kwoh's family had ties with Dad's family in Nanking China, and the Fungs and the Hos were almost a single family unit in the 50's.
I really don't want this to be just a "Ho Family Album" so help me out and send more pix. I just happen to have a lot of photos already scanned as I have been working on photo books with Mom..
I just heard from Mimi Yang and posted a Yang family photo from several years ago. It brings back memories of my sister Tina, Stewart Kwoh, Mimi and Dickie Yang taking Mandarin lessons together when we were in high school. I don't know about everyone else, but I thought we were better at partying than "Shwo Gwo Yu" back then...
