August 29, 1992

Dear parents, students, family, and friends,

    We, the students of the University of Florida, are seeking to
include a Vietnamese language course within the school curriculum.
Because there are presently few opportunities for Vietnamese people
to learn about their heritage, the future preservation of our current
knowledge is questionable.  Having this Vietnamese course would provide
a valuable asset to the Vietnamse community, especially the young
students.  With much effort and dedication, the university students
have acquired the services of a teacher, obtained teaching materials,
and estimated the minimal budget ($50.00) of the course. However, the
UF administration remains skeptical of the need and the Vietnamse
community's desire for this course. In order to accomplish this goal,
we must show the university officials that there is a tremendous need,
as evident from growing racial tension, increasing Vietnamese
illiteracy, etc., and commitment within our community. Therefore, we
are now requesting that parents, students, family, and friends write
letters expressing their support for this Vietnamese language course
and detailing the significance of the class to themselves and the
Vietnamese community. The letters may be written in English or
Vietnamese. The letters should be addressed to Dean Willard W. Harrison
and sent to the following addresses. (If your letter is written in
Vietnamese, please send the letter directly to the VISA address.)

                        Dean Willard W. Harrison
                         University Of Florida
                   College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
                          2014 Turlington Hall
                        Gainesville, Florida  32611

                   J. Wayne Reitz Union, Box 38

If you have any question, please call Tran Minh Ky at (904) 373-4712 or
Tran Trong Truc at (904) 371-5992. Please have your letters completed
by October 9, 1992. Your support is a necessity for the success of this
Vietnamse language course. Thank you.

                                             Sincerely,

 Hello NVT !!!

I like your theory on the Buffalo. Yes, I would say the Buffalo might
rank first on offence, and yes, Jim Kelly is probably the best quarterback
in the NFL. But you left out one thing, the Buffalo's defence.  Last year
I believe the Buffalo ranked 24th on defence.  I don't know if you still
remember a Monday Night Football game, when the Kansas City Chief played
with the Buffalo.  The Buffalo's defence are unable to stop the KC's
running back, Christian Akoye.
  So, if you wants my opinion on the game, I would say the 49'er is going
to win the sunday's game.

PS. The Cowboys is my favorite team though. And I thinks they can beat
    both the 49'er and the Buffalo.. haahaaahaaahaaa

> HandsomeStranger, where are you ? Why don't you let all netters to know

Hello Danny and Michael,

I was just enjoying the view, when I heard someone called out my name. 
(sheepish grin!)

Seriously, though, I have to thank nvo@tiasic.csc.ti.com. Since, Nguyenson Vo
have referred to me the best book it is called "Ca^?m Nang Co+` Tu+o+'ng"
written by Thie^'u Lang Qua^n and another fella(forgot his name!).
Anyway, the book is in paperback form and cost 10 dollars. I picked it up in 
Houston over the weekend! You can find this book at most Vie^.t Namese book
stores(though, I had to search two book stores before I finally laid my hands 
on this one!). This book covers from the beginning(the know nothing stage!) to
the expert(King of the hill stage!) It also give game strategies and excellent
insight! I suggest you ask for this book by name! And don't buy-if it doesn't
bear the title "Ca^?m Nang Co+` Tu+o+'ng". Because, if you don't know the game,
any other book you buy would be over your head!

You can pick up a chess board, basically, at any Vie^.t Namese/Chinese grocery
store(Cho+. Vie^.t Hoa) for $1.99, or 3.50, if you're a big spender(xa`i lo+'n).

I bought the $1.99 one, it's great for the learning purpose.

> BTW, thanks for coming to our party last Sunday.

The pleasure was mine! Thank you so much!

Greeting every1!

I have a question for all those of you pro-chess player...
In Viet Nam my grandfathers/father/uncles/friends gathering and played
chess everyday and as I remember'd it correctly they said that there is
a book that telling you how to play this games in 100 different way...
Is there such book exist today and if so how can I get one?

Any info. about this will b appreciated...
Thank you much...

Ciao,

Hello Hu*ng;  
Sorry that I have to use the net to send mail to you since I tried your

Looking forward to hearing from you.

A blind man and his dog were waiting to cross a busy intersection.
Suddenly the dog lifted one of his legs and started peeing on the 
blind man's pants.  Immediately the blind man reached out for his
handbag, pulled a dog biscuit and was about to feed his dog.  An
obviously perplexed onlooker asked the man:

Onlooker:  Sir, your dog just pissed on you.  It jis strange that 
	   you are so kind enough to give a biscuit inspite of that.

Blind Man:  You know what... I am trying to figure out where the dog's
	    head is so that 'I can kick its butt" !!!!!
