Tri, or “‘Tree,”” as he
prefers to spell it now (be-
cause ‘‘that’s how Ameri-
cans think of my name,”
he explains with a grin)
started with Weis ‘up
front’ at the checkout
stalls, on a part-time basis.
Within six months he was
working in the meat room
part-time, and six months
after that he was a full
-time employee, learning
the meat-cutting trade -and
doing ‘‘a mighty fine job,”
according to Harold
Milligan, meat manager.
““Frankly,”” Harold told
us, ‘‘I wasn’t too keen on
the idea of training him at
first -1 expected the lan-
guage barrier to make it
difficult -but he’s the best
trainee I’ve ever had. He’s
one heck of a nice guy, and
a very hard worker. He's
quite a boy.” Tri was
reluctant to wait on cus-
tomers at the meat counter,
because Americans often
have trouble understanding
his accent, which is thick.
“lI told him that all he'd
have to say would be ‘yes,’
‘no,” and ‘thank you,’ and
it worked out all right,”
says Harold.
Tri is making a good
adjustment to life in Amer-
ica. He has saved enough
money now to buy a car,
and passed his driver’s test
the first time. He found
walking and bicycling diffi-
ault here due to the large
numbers of autos.
He’s also adjusting in
other ways. During the
interview, conducted in a
back room at Weis Market,
other workers were sitting
around on coffee break.
One of them spoke up.
‘““Hey, Tree, tell him about
your girl friends!’’ Tri
cheerfully admitted that he
indeed has two girl friends,
one Vietnamese, and one
American. It was all right
for the Times to print that,
he assured us: “They know
each other.’
Tri knows only about
four or five Vietnamese in
this area. Most of his
friends are Americans, who
can understand him after
they get used to his accent.
“When I came over here, 1
had no friends. Now I have
lots of friends,” he says.
Tri improves his English by
reading and talking, but
told us that he doesn’t get
as much practice as he
should, because he’s na-
turally quiet and doesn’t
like to gab much. Just the
same, he expects to be
proficient in another year.
Tri finds life in America
‘‘smooth’’ and easy-going:
‘‘Americans don’t worry
about their neighbors.’’
The climate is less pleasing
to him, being colder than
Vietnam. He did, however,
enjoy seeing snow for the
first time. When the repor-
ter asked him whether he
had been in a snowball
fight yet, he laughed. ‘‘No,
I'm not a kid anymore.”
Tri writes to his family in
Vietnam through a friend
in Paris, who forwards
correspondence both ways.
His family’s letters don’t
say much about conditions
there (communist censors
remove unfavorable
remarks) but Tri hears that
life is very different in
Vietnam now, and that his
family’s standard of living
Colleen Barr.
The current week's
schedule will include a
recreational swim on Tues-
day from 9:30 to 11:30
a.m., and swimming les-
sons each morning. On
Thursday there will be a
bike rodeo, a nok hockey
tournament for girls, and a
horse shoe tourney for the
boys.
has dropped sharply.
Tri is hoping to go to
college and become a
doctor. ' He explains that
there is a shortage of
doctors in Vietnam, and he
wants to return there
someday, after the political
situation allows that. “‘I
want to help my family,”
he says.
“Tri has come a long
way in two years,”’ Harold
Milligan told us. ‘‘He’s had
to work for everything he
has. Most Vietnamese
came over here with plenty
of money, but Tri came
alone, with nothing. That
takes guts.”
At ‘one. point in the
interview, we asked Tri if
he had a destination in
mind when he decided to
leave his country. ‘‘No,”’
he replied, ‘‘1 was just
looking for freedom.’” He
has found that, and more.
Note: The Times wishes to
thank Harold Milligan for
his assistance and sugges-
tions during the interview,
and Weis Market, for
providing time during Tri’s
working hours.
