After eating loong ngan, Colin takes a break and works on legos and learns how to work in yard. That calls for a glass of fresh squeezed lemon-orange drink! Especially after a father-son hike atop Kuliouou Ridge. lucy's father, William Yee Chung Lo, will be among the Chinese American World War II Veterans who will be honored for their military service with a Gold Medal by an act of the U.S. Congress. This is the William's profile as submitted by daughter, lucy. The Chinese American WWII Veterans Recognition Project Congressional Gold Medal Review Committee has issued nearly 1000 letters confirming the approval of Congressional Gold Medal for Veterans. William Yee Chung Lo was born in Honolulu to Tan Lo and Louise Kim Ho Lo on November 14,1917. He was the eldest child and first son like his father and grandfather. His great grandfather, Lo Den Kui came to Hawaii in the mid 1870s and was a successful businessman. Dating back many centuries in China’s history, some of his ancestors were distinguished individuals who achieved the highest rank in the Chinese Civil Service examinations and served in top positions in the Imperial government.
William’s father was prominent in Honolulu’s Chinese community. He was born in Hawaii, began as a ticket agent at Oahu Railway & Land Co, and ultimately became head bookkeeper for the Dillingham family. William’s 5 siblings fondly called him “Happy” because of his warm and caring, upbeat personality. William grew up at Akoko Lane and Nehoa Street. He graduated from McKinley High School. At age 17, he attended Yen Ching University in China. He returned to Honolulu because of war between China and Japan. He attended the University of Hawaii, was a member of Tu Chiang Sheh fraternity, and graduated with a B.A. in Sociology. He married Alice Bow You Lau in 1942. With the coming of WWII, he enlisted in the US Navy. He was stationed in Honolulu and served as Yeoman First Class. Later, he ran a family business, Aala Park Inn. He then worked for the Dept. of Social Services as business manager for blind vendors and retired after 27 years of service with the State of Hawaii. William was the loving and proud father of 3 children: an accountant, a teacher and a judge. He was a patient and doting Grampa to 7 grandchildren. His unique creation of a family lingo lives on today! William was PROUD to be in the Navy! lucy and her production team enjoyed a full evening of entertainment and fellowship among other Olelo volunteers.
