Congratulations to Robin Lung of Nested Egg Productions! Her film Finding Kukan recently received a Documentary Special Mention for Women in Film at the Hawaii International Film Festival 2016 and also premiered at DOC NYC 2016. A film about a film, it tells the story of Lily's cousin Li Ling-Ai, an Asian-American artist ahead of her time. 

​Lily kept in touch with many of her Hawaii relatives, but I have yet to see or hear Ling-Ai/Gladys' name mentioned, so I have no reason to believe that Lily had any special affinity for this cousin. In fact, I think Lily would have looked askance at her unconventional ways. But perhaps she at least appreciated that her cousin helped bring the Sino-Japanese war to the attention of the American public. 

Robin and I struck up a cyber-acquaintance because of this website, and I hope before too long to meet Robin in person and see her film.

Catch this film wherever you can!

Dear Cora,

Welcome to the Quon family!

It's one day till Lori's birthday and one day and two weeks till your and Deron's wedding. I'm making Friday the 13th auspicious by making good on Lori's plea for a collection of Quon lore and memorabilia as a wedding present for you.  

So here you go, and may you enjoy this site - or at least find it a handy reference to at least of some of what you're stepping into.

With love and all my heartfelt wishes that you and Deron have many years of happiness and health together.

Your new cousin,

Dede

And now, a request to everyone of Quon and Ho lineage:  

Please do your bit!  This site will only fully come alive when you add your wedding wishes to the bridal couple, or contribute additional stories or photos that I can upload.

Lori - This will have to be your birthday present too!
Auntie Elsie - Hope this site reads well on your iPad. Another shout-out for your fabu Philippine fabric, which looks so great on the girls as pictured above.
Diana - It's mostly your photos that have started off this site; I have more to add, but gots to scan them first!

    That would be me, Dede, a Quon on my mother's side.
