My name is Tom Engquist. Back in the 50's I was a college student at Gustavus Adolphus College when I was made aware of Dr. Wen Yue's situation . At that time I had a brother David living in Plymouth and I addressed my first, and probably my last, letter of protest that I've ever written. I was very upset that such a travisty could be hapening in the area in which he lived. I'm glad to say that his wife Irene wrote back and agreed that it was not a very neighborly thing to do.
