Dear Mrs. Chang:

I remember the cuff well. It was indeed one of a kind. My father designed and crafted it in 1965 and sold it to a local political leader for his wife, Jeanitha Phann. She is now deceased. Unfortunately, her daughter, Mei, died about a year ago. As you can see, the cuff symbolizes Laotian history and culture. I hope this helps you.

Yours most truly,

Maikan Khamvongsa

Yes, you’ve helped, Mr. Khamvongsa. You’ve confirmed that Mei lived in the Vientiane area and that likely the orphanage that Kai will be staying at is in that vicinity. I now know that her family had ties to that community, and people will remember her.

The next e-mail, layered between a dozen business messages, was from Ryan. We had gotten together a few more times since our dinner at Sweet Basil’s and usually ended up at his apartment, shooting the breeze with his roommates, who thought we were an item. Boy, between being Bernie the lonely widower’s mistress and Sam the misguided Jewish guy’s girlfriend, and Ryan’s cougar crush, I was getting more action, at least in theory, than Tiger Woods in his youth, if you could believe what you read. Anyway, I had given Ryan a homework assignment: filling me in on Laos in 1984 and 1985.
