Flo shares, “Ed was/still is an outstanding storyteller. When we started dating, I was enchanted by tales of his unique childhood. He was very different from the boys I knew in Oakland Chinatown. Even after we were married, he told me a different memory almost daily.

In 1962, the second year of our marriage, we went to Augusta for a vacation. I wanted to see firsthand the site that fed Ed emotionally, which led to my telling the history of the Wong Choy/Sue Shee Wong clan as an artist. I used rice sacks as the canvas for my Baby Jack historical tales. Rice was a staple for my immigrant family residing in Oakland Chinatown. Rice was a staple for the Chinese like Ed’s family residing in the segregated South.”
