Congratulations! Dr. Bang,
I join you and your family in celebrating your daughter's success.

First of all, thank you, sunbaenimdeul, Dr. Hwang & Dr. Lee.
Frankly speaking, I was surprised to see my daughter, Michelle
on our site as much as I was surprised to hear from her by phone
on the day when she was chosen to represent Hong Kong for
the global contest in LA by The Chivas Regal Venture.
She married and mother of two, Elliot, 9 years old and Amber, 5.
She is a HBS(Harvard Business School) graduate and her husband
has been working for Morgan Stanley/ HK specializing in M&A.
Even though she's married, she keeps her last name as Bang.
I don't know why because I didn't ask her.
So many stories I can tell you about our life together
and why I call her as my Clone, but one story, if I recall,
I clearly remember the day when she won second place
when she was 6 years old at piano contest among young
kids at the Brooklyn Museum near the Brooklyn Botanical
Garden where I met Hwang sunbaenim.
She played Debussy's "Clair de Lune".
I bought her Steinway baby grand piano
for her memory in the future.
It was 35 years ago.
Her Russian piano teacher saw her talent in music and recommended
to go to music school, but as you see, she's living in the different world.
Thank you again, Dr. Hwang & Dr. Lee sunbaenim.
