Dear Ron,
My sister-in-law's husband, Dr.Victor Tsang, is from China and speaks 7 or more Mandarin dialects. He was educated in Hong Kong by the British educators and is a graduate of Notre Dame where he originally met and later married my late wife's sister. He recently retired from heading up the infectious disease department at the CDC in Atlanta, GA.
I am requesting permission from you to ask Vic for a favor to translate the Mandarin message from Michael. I know my wife and her sisters and brothers grew up in a Christian environment, a Methodist Church. But that is about all I really know about Vic and Carol at this time. Victor is a mental whiz and very kind always.
So, with your permission I will get the message translated, if he is so willing, and I'm sure he will for me.
Steve
