好友膝權伉儷金婚之喜

在人生之旅途上能夠相交相識相互之友人真不多，  膝權伉儷是其中之一 。週五晚上他的長子羅拔夫婦在一家著名之南方餐廳為他們慶祝結婚五十週年， 近二百位休斯敦中外來賓是他們最親近的友人。 

我們認識膝權夫婦已經是八十年代在他們經營之東京都日本料理店， 許多亞裔政治捐款活動都在那裡舉辦， 包括總統 、州長 、市長、市議員 ，都是這裡的常客 ，我是媒體人，自然活動之一部份記录了亞裔參政之歷史記錄。

二十多年前，休斯敦國際貿易中心成立時 ，膝権是參加創辦人之一， 他對中心出錢出力， 二十年來 ，國際貿易中心之各文化經貿活動近一萬二千中小企業受惠， 這也是我們非常重要的一項對社區之貢獻。

五十年是一個非常漫長之歲月， 膝権伉儷從小學五年級就是同班同學 可，謂真正的青梅竹馬 ，而且他們經營之壽司店巳近六百家。

我們衷心祝福他們金婚之喜。

Katy And Glen Gondo Celebrated Their 50th Year Anniversary

We got together Friday night to celebrate our dear friends Katy and Glen Gondo's fifty-year golden wedding anniversary party which was organized by their son Robert. It was the most beautiful and warmest party we have ever attended.

I have known Glen and Katy since early 1968 when they owned the Tokyo Garden restaurant in Houston. Since that time we have attended many political and social functions at their residence.

Almost 23 years ago, when we first established the International Trade Center in Houston, Glen was the co-founder and always gave us his support. We are so proud for the many years ITC has served more than 12,000 business through seminars and summits to help many businesses overcome their difficulties. In the business world,  this is another one of our contributions to the community.

Today Glen owns more than 500 sushi establishments around the nation and has become known as the 'Sushi King.' Most importantly, they are still helping our community in many ways.

Glen and Katy, we are all so proud of you.
