Dear Granddaughter of Mr. Kim,
Hello, my name is Kwang Dong Jo. I am a retired Korean American journalist. I was the editor of The Korea Times Chicago.
I read your posting at internet by chance. I am so excited to encounter Mr. King Bernard Kim’s granddaughter. Actually, your grandfather’s Korean name is Kyung Kim.
I never met your grandfather, but I had interviewed with your step-grandmother, Bessie Lim Kim in New York. At that time, I was a young reporter who was interested Korean American history and I was writing the Korean American’s Chicago Immigration History.
I flew to New York to meet your step-grandmother at her apartment. I wrote article about your grandfather and step-grandmother.
I noticed that you post this message in 1999. It is 14 years ago. I am not sure your email address is still working. I hope this email could be reach to you.
Sincerely,
Kwang Dong Jo
