For Doug Reese: Do you know Pham Quang Khai? Interesting Man -- he lives in Virginia, Virginia Beach as I recall -- or that vicinity. DSH > For Doug Reese: > > Do you know Pham Quang Khai? > > Interesting Man -- he lives in Virginia, Virginia Beach as I recall -- or > that vicinity. No, I don't. Who is he? When I'm back in the states, I'm in northern VA -- Annandale (near Fairfax, Falls Church, etc), specifically . . . however, I'm a Hoosier! I may get down to Virginia Beach once a year . . . for the beach. Doug Reese > DSH > > For Doug Reese: > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > No, I don't. Who is he? Now that I'm more awake . . . . . I Googled him, but couldn't find much. I believe he is a writer/poet, but that's all I could see.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > > DSH Hmmmmmm... There used to be a website that mentioned him but I can't seem to find it. Perhaps I'm spelling his name incorrectly. The man I knew was a prominent businessman with whom I worked closely. He lived in Saigon, on Yen Do street, as I recall -- 29 Yen Do. I heard he was sent to a Re-Education Camp [if that is the proper terminology] after the Communists took over -- then made his way to Hong Kong and later came to the United States. I'm very glad he survived and got to America. Is the _La Cigalle_ restaurant still there? I used to love that place. It was run by a Corsican. Excellent French, Vietnamese and some Chinese food. DSH >> > For Doug Reese: >> > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> >> > DSH OK, many Vietnamese have the same name. Only one popped up when I entered that name and "Virginia". Oh well . . . . . I'll have to check out that address on Yen Do. I may be busy the next couple of weeks, but will try sooner or later. . . . let me get this straight, you may have spelled his name wrong, but you remember his address :) I don't think that restaurant is here anymore, but I think there's another one here by that same name.
