@center(FREEMAN LINDER RECEIVES AWARD)
|
|
|
|
Freeman Linder, president and chairman of Pacific Trade Associates
|
|
Inc., received an award as "Goodwill Ambassador of the Year" from the
|
|
Valley Asian-American Friendship Club at its dinner meeting
|
|
Thursday night. Mr@. Linder was honored "for his long and
|
|
energetic service in the cause of peace and friendship between
|
|
the peoples of Asia and America."
|
|
|
|
In receiving the award Mr@. Linder gave a talk about his career
|
|
and the changes he has seen in Asian-American relations. After
|
|
quitting an engineering major in college to serve in the Marines in 1898,
|
|
he was
|
|
stationed in Shanghai during the "Boxer Rebellion" of 1900.
|
|
When his term of service ended, he remained in Asia, travelling in China and
|
|
Japan, and supporting himself as a free-lance engineering consultant,
|
|
much like former President Hoover.
|
|
|
|
In 1910 he returned to the States, married, and tried to settle
|
|
down in a job with an engineering company. However, he found his
|
|
opportunities for advancement limited by the lack of a formal degree,
|
|
so he signed on as a civilian engineer for the Japanese military
|
|
during the World War.
|
|
|
|
After the Armistice, he
|
|
founded Pacific Trade Associates, an
|
|
export-import agency with its first offices in Tokyo and Los
|
|
Angeles. His business grew rapidly with the general increase in
|
|
trans-Pacific trade, and eventually it opened additional offices
|
|
in Hong Kong and Singapore. He acquired a cosmopolitan
|
|
knowledge of Asian cultures through his business contacts, and
|
|
his talk included amusing anecdotes of culture shock on the part
|
|
of both himself and others.

As the story begins, you find a matchbook on the curb.

G/R will create a custom matchbook with the name of a restaurant, like

'The Brass Lantern'. The matches may be all gone, but there will be a

@heading(Mrs Linder's Suicide Note:)
|
|
|
|
Dear Monica,
|
|
|
|
By the time you find this note, you will know that I can't bear
|
|
to live any more, with or without your father. If he had paid either more
|
|
attention to me as a person, or less attention to me as a woman,
|
|
I think none of this trouble would have come to us.
|
|
You can't blame Ralph -- if he hadn't come along, someone else would.
|
|
You have been such a comfort to me,
|
|
but even you couldn't make up for my rotten marriage. If only I hadn't felt like a widow
|
|
for so long. . . But there are already too many "ifs" in my story.
|
|
There will be no "if" about the end of it, thanks to the hardware
|
|
your father got for my "protection". This is the end of the battles and
|
|
the bitterness. This should be a new beginning for you.
|
|
|
|
-- Mother.
