        When Vicki Manalo Draves died, you cite Mr. Lee. Why erase her now? Both were 1st Asian Am Olympic divers.http://mobile.nytimes.com/2010/04/30/sports/olympics/30draves.html …

        International Day-the one day everyone other than whites were allowed in the pool. It was then drained and refilled for them.

        Thanks to Dr. Lee for breaking ground. Personal anaecdote, he operated on my Mom and by all accounts was a prince.

        Do you also recognize those that fight discrimination by the communists & Muslims? Or you not allowed? You are a sorry lame duck.
