A few years ago, I ignored a friendâs question about whether there was a risk of violence to Asians in North Carolina.
That was a mistake.
My friend, Don Mar, grew up in the Chinese community in San Francisco and has lived in the Bay Area all his life.
I met him more than 60 years ago when he and I were working summer jobs at a Green Giant pea cannery in eastern Washington state.
He was Chinese American and we shared a Presbyterian connection. He was very nice and talkative. So, we hit it off.
He told me that, if I ever came to San Francisco, I should look him up and he would show me around.
That was a mistake.

âJust go to the Chinese YMCA,â he said, âand tell them you are looking for me, and they will track me down.â

“A scandal of the highest order.”
This is how Public Utilities Minister Marvin Gonzales yesterday described the payment of over $1.1 million in overtime to six officials of the Public Services Association (PSA) employed at the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) during a three-year period. One of the PSA officials alone received over half a million dollars of this figure.
