And now there are three! Patsy Lee's digital story is now available. Visit the Digital Stories page for David Tang, Jr., Gary Low, and Patsy Lee's digital stories. Each plays in QuickTime or iTunes. 

The talks, from which these digital stories are compiled, were part of Pima Community College's Discovering Southern Arizona program. Each speaker showed slides created from family photographs and told their families story - well, really a small part. David Tang, Jr., is a second generation Tucsonan. David's grandfather came to Tucson as a young man so David's talk represented three generations of Chinese Americans in Tucson. Gary Low's represented two generations and Patsy is a first generation Tucsonan.

We will have videos of their entire talks available soon on the Promise of Gold Mountain website in the video section. It is being encoded for QT streaming.

Yen H. "Gary" Low's digital story is now available with David Tang Jr.'s on Through Our Parents' Eyes. Read Gary's short bio.

In January, Pima Community College hosted an event at Tucson's Chinese Community Center as part of its Discovering Southern Arizona. The title of this event was The Legacy of Gold Mountain: Chinese Immigrant Families in Southern Arizona. Read a blog entry about it. PCC shared the video it shot of the event as well as the images the three presenters showed. A digital story was added today of David Tang, Jr.'s family's story. It can be found in the Digital Stories section of the website and was added to our podcast series in iTunes.

As a follow-up to the event at the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center, I met with board member Peter Chan last night. At some time after Chinese New Year, Peter will speak with TCCC members about contributing to the Promise of Gold Mountain. This is a great opportunity to add outstanding content to the website and to develop new digital stories. Stay tuned!
