Frank


At China Camp I met Frank Quan, the last resident and caretaker still living there. He remembers my grandmothers family and boat. I'm hoping to visit with him more to learn about shrimping practices in different parts of the bay.

Mike, great photo. But more important than that, you got to speak to a member of an old Chinese family from CA. That's really cool. I saw a small interview he did a few yrs back. Very interesting. I love history and you are involved with living history. It's neat that he knew your grandmother's family. I hope you get some good documentation together.

Thanks Eric, I met with my father and uncle last week and it was really fun hearing their stories and experiences. I'm visiting the Maritime Museum Library next week to find info on our family's junk. Nice meeting you last week!
