Asian graduate of the Coast Guard Academy,Hsu,the Captain

Washington Post,December 30, 2007 on page C6 - Two outstanding local leaders have gone to their reward as euphemism: "Kwang-Ping Hsu,died of complications from a brain tumor at the age of 71, is the first Chinese American captain in the US Coast Guard. He led with enthusiasm and humor, taking his staff to Chinatown and trying to teach them how to order the authentic dishes not on the menu. If people would joke a little more,it would be a better world." My comment: Laughter begets longevity. Hehehahahoho all the way and we shall live to be centenarians.Such maybe the quotable quotes.(sic)
George Didden III; age 62.Bank chief active in community, passed away of complications of sepsis. He played a role in bringing two new pandas,Tiantian and Mei Xiang to the zoo from China.
The above deceased were involved in US-China positive relations. RIP.
