This photo of Seyfi was taken on June 3, 2024 at the Badenburg Restaurant which we visited since the late 1970s.
Seyfi enjoyed the company of my wife and the 12 yr old son, before he returned to his home near Würzburg where he shares a house with his family that includes two adult sons, Daniel and Florian.

This photo was taken on June 4, 2024 at the train station in Gießen, saying good-bye to Seyfi who remembers Plano, TX and the many places we visited in the US in 1986. He said "greetings to his sister Thanh Suong". Seyfi's personality/demeanor has not changed over the years, but his health has become rather frail, since he did hard physical work throughout much of his adult life.

We have been extensively traveling in Europe and Italy (Ravello, Amalfi Coast) as well as Greece (Santorini) are our favorite locations

Thinking about life in provincial Tahlequah.....It was the right decision of the parents to move to a suburb of Houston to be around the family of the children

I remember our trip across Europe visiting the castles of  France and Germany.

I remember meeting Thanh Suong's mom in 1975 at South State Street in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, shortly after the family arrived there from Danang, Vietnam

Remembering the days of YESTERYEAR on my 70th Birthday, while feeling as young and high-spirited as always, next to my wife, who is also my personal physician and best friend,

"Dr Fried"

Wonderful members of the Nguyen family,
Dr. "Fried" shared with me his memories of your loving family, as he explained many details of his trips with you across parts of Europe. I am very proud for having had the opportunity to join him in Germany, a truly liberal and democratic country, with well-integrated residents from around the world.
Hoping that all is going well for all of you, despite the frightening influence of a 'de facto' fascist dictator like Donald Trump, who will hopefully be voted out and brought to justice, since there are so many criminal investigations by the SDNY, and other federal jurisdictions against him, and other members of the Trump Crime Family as well.
Cordial greetings from Mai  

After visiting Versailles in the late 1970s with Lan, Canh and Thanh Suong, I had an opportunity to return to the castle of Louis XIV on February 4, 2020, with my wonderful wife Mai, who has joined me during the summer months at the German university town of Gießen, where she is working as a freelance health care provider, after receiving permission from the Regierungspräsident in Darmstadt. She had previously been working as a goverment official at the state hospital in Nam Som, Thailand, and we maintain a winter residence near Mekong River outside of Nong Khai, Thailand.
Best wishes to all remaining family members, particularly to Dewayne Moore & family (I remember Lawrence when he was just a little baby),
Friedhelm & Mai

This added photo was taken at Udon Thani, Thailand, my favorite Asian country, in December of 2018. I am maintaining a winter residence in the Northeast of Thailand

It felt good to see that the European Travel photos---showing her with her husband Lan in Germany and France---had survived, and I remembered the locations in Germany and France I had taken them to during the second part of the 1970s. I also remembered the late Thanh-Thuy which I picked up from the Tufts University Campus in the early 1980s, and I am happy to see that the family of her oldest daughter---married to the marvellously kind-hearted Dewayne Moore---is still intact. I vividly remember their son Lawrence.
Best wishes, Dr.rer.nat. Friedhelm W. König

Through my tears I smiled at the happiness in your photos.  Thank you for making me feel like family.  I'll remember you always, as I do Thanh-Thuy.
Doug
