Dear Raiders and friends,
Thought you might be interested...
On my most recent trip to China in August, I spent some time with military historian and US Embassy Minister-Counselor for Press and Cultural Affairs, Donald M. Bishop.  At a luncheon given by the Chinese Peoples Institute for Foreign Studies  I presented a copy of the Furman Magazine article about my grandfather to Chairman Mao's granddaughter (she looks just like her Grandfather).  Don Bishop expressed an interest in the article so I gave him a copy as well. Don submitted the article to the Embassy Public Affairs office. It is now posted on the Embassy web site.  It means a lot to me to see my grandfather's story told at the Embassy he served so many years ago.  Many thanks to writer Debbie Moore, and Vince Moore and all the folks at the Furman University Office of Public Affairs! 

Here is the link if you are interested.
