Beautiful job, Rique. Thank you for remembrances of the memories we Saigon Kids share and for your own memories shared as well.
A wise friend recently told me, “Memories become memories unto themselves.”
Even if that is true, I enjoyed the film immensely, the beautiful cinematic technique, engaging narratives and memories recalled. What a fascinating project and what a wonderful result.
Hi Rique – My apology for not getting this on the site sooner, but as I may have mentioned in the past, I wanted to get everything set up on AWS S3 servers (for the best streaming) before I displayed the video on the site. You really did a great job on this project. But, I’m not sure very many of the younger Saigon Kids who were not part of the 1950s beatnik, James Dean, Elvis, rebellious rock n roll era can fully understand and appreciate it, even though the 1950s laid the foundation for all that followed afterwards. And, just think those of us who *came of age* during the 1950s got to experience the beginning of it all; and, follow the evolution through to today – awesome, it is!!
Again, THANK YOU, for all of your work on this project. Very, very much appreciated! – 🙂

S’ellen – I agree. Rique did and awesome job of capturing the essence of *Clod* Saigon experiences while remaining true to his *beatnik* prose.
