According to custom Jue Joe begged old-timers to come by sending cars w/ drivers to fetch them, then gifting each with a rice bowl, the old-timers played being "too humble to grace such an honorable event" unless they were begged to come and were fetched--this was custom. Cousin June died last year in 2009. Maxine called me about 18 years ago and asked me for info. on Sum Gong Village (Sanjiang) and her father. She and her husband lived in Leisure World and planned a trip to China. She wanted to visit Sum Gong. She said she was curious about her father, why he came to America, but felt no emotional connection to him because he died when she was so young. She said despite the rift "We're still family," and thanked me for telling her how to reach Sum Gong Village and for sending her the L.A. Times news article and a Van Nuys H.S. photo of her father. I remember seeing June, Maxine, and Leatrice (Lorraine)once in Leong Shee's old cottage. They slept overnight in Jack and Joan's bedroom, the room with 3 closet doors. I next saw Maxine and Aunt May in 1956, in court. Aunt May wore a black suit, she was plump, broad-faced, and looked angry.1860soohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369634149285406896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581230122476881763.post-72551378282359437222010-06-12T07:19:30.623-07:002010-06-12T07:19:30.623-07:00Maxine May Kam Jue (Aunt May) was born in Los Ange...Maxine May Kam Jue (Aunt May) was born in Los Angeles on May 19,1906 . She married San You on July 30th 1924. She had three daughters , <br />June born 5/14/1925, Maxine V. , born 7/29/1927, and Lorraine born 10/18/1928 . These daughters were first cousins and contempories of my father, Jack who was born in 1928 but because of the family rift , I don't think he ever got to know these cousins. Aunt May ( my Grand aunt) died in Los Angeles at the age of 63 on March 3rd 1969.jjuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960807215145734076noreply@blogger.com
