註釋I was born on 28 March 1922 in Thanh-Hóa where my grand parents emigrated in 1897, fleeing the catastrophic flood of the Red River. I was a student at the faculty of sciences of the University of Hanoi when the Japanese putsch of 9 March1945 effectively put an end to my student life with the successive political events after that date. I went head on in patriotic activities for the independence of my country and decided to rally to the south in 1948. In 1952 I was drafted and sent to the French Air Academy in Salon de Provence to become aeronautic engineer. I became Commissioner of Supply in the military government of South Vietnam confronting the economic blockade of Saigon in 1965. Retired in 1974 I went into business. I got out of Saigon on 28 April 1975 before the bombardment of its airfield by communist artillery. I found my family in the refugee camp of Fort Chaffee before being sponsored by Saint Timothy Lutheran Church of Monterey to a humbly new start. I became owner of two 7-Eleven stores which I sold in October 1997 to retire at 75 after 20 years in business.
