Show ' ' Mr. and Mrs. Frank Yee Mrs. Frank Yee Toins Husband in Milford A separation of more than 20 years was ended June 9 when Frank Yee, co-owner of the Hong Kong Cafe, flew to San Francisco to meet his wife who arrived from Hong Kong by plane. After two weeks in San Francisco and a few days in Salt Lake they came to Milford, Mil-ford, arriving here the early part of last week. Frank first came to America in 1922, working in Chinese restaurants in Denver, Cheyenne, Chey-enne, Rock Springs, Green River Riv-er and other Wyoming communities. com-munities. He returned to China in 1929, met Sau Wan, and married her in Canton. Returning to the United States in 1931 he first lived and worked in Green River, Wyo., and came to Milford Mil-ford in 1952. Life in Hong Kong today is much less than the pleasant experience ex-perience it was before the Communist takeover of China, Mrs. Yee said. The refugees from the Red mainland have flocked into the free city and the streets, homes and even the countryside swarm with a mass of humanity seeking escape es-cape from the Communists and the opportunity to live in a free world. Each day more refugees attempt to enter the city, slipping first past the Communist border guards then through the circle of Hong Kong police, who try to keep unauthorized persons from entering en-tering and adding to the bur den of caring for the millions of refugees. Mrs. Yee went to Hong Kong in 1956, with a visa and entry permit. She stayed with relatives rela-tives until Frank was able to obtain passport and permission for her to enter the United States. She is greatly impressed with America, and especially with the friendly welcome she has received in Milford. She speaks ' no English, but said through Frank that she could "feel" the warmth and concern of the Milford people she has met. Another Chinese family, wife and children of Johnnie Yee, who is also associated with the Hong Kong, arrived in Milford about a year ago, and although the children knew very little English they enrolled in school and are now able to converse fluently with local residents . . . and offer Mrs. Yee an opportunity op-portunity to converse with her own countrymen, and also a faster adaptation to American life and to learning the English language. Mr. and Mrs. Yee have two children, a son and a daughter, both gradautes of Chinese and American schools in Hong Kong. The son is employed by an insurance company in Hong Kong and the daughaer, married mar-ried to a medical clinic employe, em-ploye, has two children, a boy and a girl. They are looking forward to being permitted to join their parents in Milford. |
