Danny Lee –  Growing up in Chinatown – Reunion Notes
(Thank you, Danny, for these wonderful memories)

Although these essays are titled Reunion Notes, they are in reality a short history of New York Chinatown  in the 1940s – 1960s, its milieu and the kids that grew up there to become the parents and grandparents of today. This is an insider’s view of the close-knit community that is the heart and essence of Chinatown.
