FAMILY / FRIEND
Theary Seng with family at Visal Hok and Abraham Chuang's wedding. Southern California, 2005.
The loveliest, godliest couple whom I called "godparents", how they lavished love and generosity upon me - Marge and Wally Boelkins, here at their Hidden Ridge estate (see, A Love Story). A few days after Dream of Darfur with Mia Farrow event at Tuol Sleng and a brief visit to Siem Reap with the delegation (where we were shocked to read in the Bangkok Post (!) of the government accusing Mia and me of scaling the Tuol Sleng walls and attempting to break in! - a pathetic attempt to clean up the public relations mess in our favor), Marge passed away among all her children and grandchildren in Michigan and I immediately booked the next flight to attend the funeral; but the unfortunate sequencing of events had everyone thinking I left for security reasons.
