Trojan Candy purchased several items from the Coop (bookstore) at both universities for my children and grandchildren. My son-in-law Zac graduated from M.I.T., and my daughter Kelly and son-in-law Gen graduated from Harvard. While in the Harvard Coop, we saw several Trojans shopping also. USC Director of Reunions Laura Capo and her husband Mike came by to say "Hello."
For dinner, Pat, Dudley and Trojan Candy made our way to a new restaurant near Boston University. We were meeting our first cousin Corinne Chan Carus there. Corinne works at the Belmont Library in Boston.
Corinne knows Margaret Li, who is the owner of the Mei Mei Restaurant which specializes in "creative Chinese American" food.
Corinne was born in Honolulu and for several years was the cello back-up for singer Don Ho. She still performs in the Boston area. Corinne has also traced the genealogy of our Chan Family. Thank you, Corinne, for such a precious gift!
Here are pictures of two of our delicious dishes. Mmmm!
What a good shopping day with a delectable dinner!
Being a history buff, Trojan Candy started to walk the Boston Freedom Trail today. My sister Pat and brother-in-law Dudley joined me. We rode the train into the station at Boston Commons.
Unfortunately, the chamber of the House of Representatives was closed today because they were preparing for the 9/11 ceremony tomorrow. I did meet two new friends. Raymond Amaru has been the House Sergeant of Arms for 56 years! He gave us some sightseeing tips. Michael Izzo, who is an administrative assistant and Boston College fan, posed with Raymond. Michael is a member of the Pike's Peak Club and is also a hockey fan. An honorary FIGHT ON to Michael and Raymond!
What an impressive history lesson today!
Let the game begin!
What a fantastic finish!
