Interviews
A Pleasant Past
I’m very happy to have been part of the beginning of VC, Visual Communications, the fact that it’s still around; has gone through many changes, but basically I think it’s fulfilled a basic need within the Asian American community, so I have to say, that’s one of the things that I’m very proud of, happy with.
So I guess advice to myself was, we should have even pushed further in the directions we wanted to go. We took little detours from the path of our goals, so I think the advice to myself and advice to other people is to just do it.
