  Hi Leonard,

  Thanks for covering this topic. As a Laotian immigrant my family fled Laos after the Vietnam War. My family's story is so similar to that of Thavisouk. There are many untold stories within my family of this tragic time. Listening to this show has made me want to learn more about my own story.

  Thank you very much for posting that interview

  on this this page ,I think most laotian people who were escaped from Laos at that time must have similar story like Mr.Thavisouk Phasavth,

  I would like to see that film ,if you sell it i want to buy some ,i want you to contact me by emai to give me some more detail about that.

  Thank you very much,

  Sincerely yours,

  Houmpheng Phongsavath

  The fantastic Laotian music called "Molam" has been disseminated in the West by Jah Wobble on his CD called "Molam Dub," so for Leonard to say that "no one knows/hears anything about Laos," is not correct.

  HI THERE ELLEN AND THAVISOUK,

  I KNOW LIFE IS HARD BUT ITS HARDER WHEN WE ALL FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER. I HAVE LEARN TO LOVE AND ACCEPT THE DIFFERENCES FROM MY LIFE EXPERIENCE OF GROWING IN THE BIG FAMILY ALSO MET DIFFERENT LIFE STYLES OF ALL. SO IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE STORY FROM REFUGEE PEOPLE WHY THEY THINK AND HATE OUR LEADER TODAY.

  YOUR INTERVIEW AUDIO MADE ME EVEN MORE INTERESTED TO LEARN ABOUT PEOPLE THAT FLED THEIR COUNTRY AT THAT TIME. I WAS BORN IN 1981 SO 1977 WAS MY NUMBER 5TH WAS AGE 2 AT THE TIME . I HAVE UNCLE AUNTS THAT CAME TO USA DURING THAT TIME TOO I FEEL THAT THEIR CHOICES THAT MADE AND I WON'T SAY RIGHT OR WRONG BECAUSE EVERYONE HAVE THEIR STORY SO MADE IT MORE INTERESTING TO THINK IT CLEARLY AND WRITE IT DOWN IT MAKE MORE EASIER PERSON LIKE ME CAN UNDERSTAND. TALK ABOUT MOST PEOPLE IN LAOS MOST MAYBE NO CHANCES OR NOT EVEN WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PAST OR TIME GONE BY CAN BE FORGOTTEN OR SOME PERSON MAYBE TOO BUSY WITH DOING SOMETHING ELSE RATHER THAN WRITE STORY OF THEMSELVES. SO SOMETIME I THOUGHT I WISH I COULD WRITE A STORY FOR SOMEONE IN LAO LANGUAGE. SO IF YOU NEED HELP WITH PHASA LAO I WILL BE MORE THAN WELCOME TO HELP. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.

  YOUR SINCERELY,

  LATSAMI
