A VISIT TO TAIPEI--

In 1986, while a Richland County Commissioner, I led an Economic and Goodwill Mission to Taipei County, Taiwan, Republic of China in celebration of our Sister County Relationship. Here I am answering the welcoming remarks of my counterpart Lin, Fong-Cheng, Magistrate of Taipei County (to my left).

To my right are 3 of our 15 delegation members: Ed Meehan, then Mayor of Mansfield, Bill Hartnett, then President of the Mansfield/Richland Area Chamber of Commerce and Lou Fritz, then President of the Richland Economic Development Corporation.

Saturday we will take a peek at some consequences of the recent election of Taiwan’s new president. Please join us for Fogeyisms’ first international excursion.
