7/3/2001 In search of Woo Yee Bew's Gravesite (Message from Glenn Woo)

Aloha:  To my dear Grandmother, this update is for you.  My prayers are with you.  Evelyn Woo passed away on April 8, 1999.  Services were held in Honolulu on April 18, 1999.Details on Evelyn Woo's page

Found:  Alden Woo found a white cattelya (BLC Evelyn Woo) that was grown (revived) from a plant that his Dad (T.D. Woo Sr.) brought over from Hilo and ended up at his house, which nearly died.  He gave them to a friend at Westinghouse, Mel Wong.  Mel Wong nurtured them back to health, and there’s living proof that Mom’s (Evelyn Woo) name lives on.  Quite remarkable I’d say. See the orchid.

COMING SOON:  Some more stories and pictures from Glenn F. Woo.  Update on St. Paul's Church site.  Flood strikes his father Francis Woo's place in Hilo.  New bridge should take care of that!

Funny Hilo Days 1947-1962 website from Craig Miyamoto, he knew the Woo's.  http://www.geocities.com/Athens/4260/index.html

News:  Contact with Cousins Joseph & Peter Woo (their grandfather Woo Yee Tung is the half brother of Woo Yee Bew) and Cousin Peter Wu (30th Generation under Yee Gwai’s branch) has led us to new cousinology information.  Cousin Joseph Woo sent us some updates, and his Brother Patrick Woo has a website with some pictures.  See it at http://www-students.biola.edu/~woopy/.  Cousin Peter Wu has a website up, there are some Woo Yee Bew branch pictures and family tree (with Chinese names in Chinese characters).  See it at http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~ppwu/FamPhoto/Album.html
