Beautiful ... saga , what fuller circle could a young woman come thru ...and so many years later as grandma cozying up with erita so many years hence . Be nice to read some Jack's lectures from that tour which just preceded Nixon's tour of China by one year . Working at the East Asian Library back then , bet at some point may have unknowingly met "First Pearl" down at the local food co-ops shopping that were all the rage back then . along with the more radical people's "Food Conspiracy" that took over successfully for several yrs . Taking the Food Co-op idea even one radical step further ...ah how scintilating was UCB , we were eating the freshest produce , grains fruits & best cheeses in the entire USA then...as good as the rich at the Four Seasons , long before Whole Foods which patterned itself after our ideas . Myself spent many of my younger days studying Tai Chi and was found often in the Chinese Park over in Chinatown in the early am with great Professor Kuo Lien Ying after studying with Master Chung several yrs who was his student of 30yrs ....who himself was Editor & poet from Taiwan's great newspapers and colonel in the army before his immigration west google.com Master Kuo was a great one , so much fun knowing him and the great joy & pride he took in his son he fathered when he was near his 80s which at 5yrs old was a prodigy "little Dragon" Tai Chi Master which you can see in those eyes . And don;t even think of tangling with his wife who took over chores of daily teaching .<vbg There was often a flask of whiskey under those robes but a great master he was , out in the early morning in SF ...those were the best times i can remember at 5am in that park with doctors & laywers practicing Tai Chi with the Professor....he was reknowned in all China Town as the "One" and everyone had such great respect for this jovial but very tough Master .
