UPDATE ON DR. WEN REPLY

I received a reply from my friend Dr. Wen in Taipei, Taiwan. He is doing well and it was nice to hear from him. I learned some more things about him and want to continue our correspondence. So far I have sent a few emails but did not get a response. I will ask my cousin for help contacting him.
Here is what he sent me. The first is a .jpg with a hand written note and then the second is a text that is easier to read.
He is certainly an accomplished man and I hope to see some comments from those who know him. The photo shows him at his desk as well as with his wife. There is also a photo of the hospital where I went to visit with him back in 1963. It appears that he was working as a medical person in WWll , I hope to find out which person in front of the ambulance is Dr. Wen.

I can't tell which person in front of the ambulance is Dr. Wen, but my guess would be the first person from left in the front row. And I suppose the picture was taken after WWII since the people were in the ROC military uniform instead of the Japanese uniform. Dr. Wen was born in 1925 or 1926 and hence he was supposed to be still in medical school in 1945.

Victor you are wealth of information. I always look forward to your comments and help. I sure hope to talk with Dr. Wen soon. I still have many questions for him.
