Ted's Story
After Orosi High School, the College of Sequoias, and UC at Santa Cruz, I traveled and worked in East Asia and different parts of the U.S. Later, I studied at the Universities of Washington and Hawaii and, eventually, joined the U.S. Department of State as a Foreign Service Officer in 1979.

My daughter Alison and son Russell are out of the nest. They are working as a household engineer and owner executive director of an international trading company. I have three grandsons--Aiden, Kyle, and Everett Jackson Gong. Life is good.
