My Dad recently passed last thursday morning 6/3/2010. He was a quiet strong man with a sense of pride in his family. Dad placed very strong emphasis, disciplines and guidance on his eight children. He made sure that what ever we do, we should be successful at it. He taught me the value of knowledge which are best kept in your heart and especially in memories. Knowledge without memories are like dust in the wind. Memories are the building blocks of data, experiences, and connections among us. My dad will always be in my memory. In loving memory of Nguon Vinh Tran:
