I started this history blog to celebrate my late father, Herbert Bingham Mead. He served in the U.S. 1st Marine Division in China 1945-1946. His wish was for me to research and publish a book on those extraordinary days when he and his comrades were stationed in Tianjin and Beijing, China. Today we salute the service and bravery of those extraordinary men -and the people of China who endured and befriended them. Semper Fi!

It's Mid-Autumn Festival Time!
Tea and moon cakes go well together, don't they? Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all my Chinese friends around the USA and the world -and to others like me who look forward to this smiles-filled holiday.
I'll be enjoying the moon cakes and tea I brought back from Beijing two weeks ago. Those were fine gifts received from President Feng Zhe of Beijing Sihai Confucius Academy.
Special wishes go to all my friends in SE Asia, especially in Singapore and Malaysia who are enduring crippling haze conditions from Indonesia. You are very much in my thoughts. :) I pray that blue skies return soon -very soon!
