You said you worked at Tektronix, right? If you worked at the Tektronix in Beaverton from 1988-1990 and remembered a Vietnamese guy in his mid 40’s, that’s probably my uncle.

I knew a lot of Vietnamese in my area, TM500, but I left in 1983. Started there in 1969.
The most prominent Vietnamese guy I knew was Loc Ho Tan. He was a lead technician in TM500 production and worked part time as a real estate agent in Beaverton. His father used to be the lead engineer for most of the power generation in S. Vietnam. Left South Vietnam after the fall and went to work as a high level executive for the World Bank where he reported to Bob McNamara, who was the former Secretary of Defense. He retired, moved to Beaverton and ran an Exxon gas station near the U.S. Bank that's on Farmington.

Next time you invite me to the truck for a game I'm bringing a dictionary and a thesaurus so you can adjudicate which words you would like to use perennially.

You're welcome. May this become ubiquitous with your speech.

Maybe you could consider utilizing more accommodating phraseology so there is less loquacity and verbiage in your remarks as he would be better able to manducate on what you are gifting him and properly adjudicate how helpful it is

This just made me so euthymic.

Reading that gives me a feeling of cheerfulness and tranquility.
