Summary: This tape tells the story of a family leaving its homeland, Vietnam, over a period of nearly ten years. Two children leaving with a grandmother, and five children leaving with their parents. They first settled in Wisconsin, and then in Lawrence, MA. This is a factual retelling - due to language difficulties it cannot be classified as a narration. There is much more to be told at a time when language is not a barrier.
