Click to go to Minh-TOM's Geezer Geek Webpage ROY THOMAS (NGUYEN MINH TOM) PREMO, JR. spent seven years (1966-1973) working in Vietnam as an Internal Auditor for RMK-BRJ and he traveled throughout South Vietnam, from Danang in the north to the Mekong Delta in the south, see Vietnam Maps. After leaving RMK-BRJ he worked for 18-months as a Cost Accountant with Sanderson & Porter on a USAID project with Cong ty Dien Luc, the electric company in South Vietnam. MINH_T�M was born and raised in Klamath Falls, Oregon USA. He considers himself to be a Viet-Kieu (Vietnamese Living Abroad), not a Ngoai-Kieu (Overseas National), since he is retired and spends one-half of the year in Vietnam. However, our three children, Jackie | Jeanine | Robert are true Viet-Kieu as they were born in Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon and they now live in the USA/Canada.

MINH_TOM on Cyclo-Click for full-size photo MINH_TOM lives in Walnut Creek, California USA (May-Nov) and in Go Cong, Tien Giang Province, Vietnam (Nov-Apr) each year. He travels around the town of Go Cong by Cyclo (Pedicab) and he has a regular routine each day that includes working on the internet / photos and having beef soup (Pho) at XuanThang, his favorite restaurant in Go Cong. Work on the Rose Garden, MINH_TOM's garden in Go Cong started in 1999 and he has been assisted by several Vietnamese friends including Minh Dinh, art teacher at THPT-Truong Dinh High School in Go Cong, who crafted a statue for the Rose Garden/Photo. He also has been assisted by Minh Chau, BaSi Bong (Doctor of Flowers), who provided many of the plants and plant names; see MAP By MINH_TOM's cyclo driver.
Minh_TOM-Click for full-size photo THIEN TOM-Click to go to his Buddah Photo Album MINH_TOM has five names that he uses while in Vietnam: TOM PREMO, MINH_TOM, THIEN T�M (Buddah Name), ONG MY (American), and ONG GIA NOEN (Santa). He is interested in CALLIGRAPHY and has been assisted by his Buddah Master, Thien Chieu, who gave MINH_T�M his Buddah name of THIEN T�M. CALLIGRAPHY is the way of creating artistic and impressive strokes � one of the highly spiritual and refined arts. 29Mar06
MINH_TOM and his family are World Travelers and we have made several trips to Vietnam. MINH_TOM is visiting Vietnam again in 2005-2006. During these trips we have attended Cao Dai services for LY-Huong's Father, Pham Van Ngu, and her Mother, Huynh Thi Nguu. We built our Vietnam home in 1998, the Whitehouse East, in Go Cong, Tien Giang Province. You can read more about the MINH_T�M Family travel by going to these webpages: World| Vietnam| USA/Canada.

Both MINH_TOM and then U.S. President Bill Clinton traveled to Vietnam in November 2000. MINH_TOM sent an E-Mail invitation to the president to visit Go Cong during his trip; however, the president and his family didn't travel there as his schedule in Vietnam was full, including a visit to Hanoi where he gave a speech/CNN before the Vietnam National University in which he mentioned the new chapter in the U.S.-Vietnamese relationship.

There were NO public internet facilities in Go Cong during MINH_T�M's 2001-2002) and he thought he would be able to get on the internet at the computer lab operated by Huynh Hieu/Photo, the IT (ViTinh) teacher at THPT-Truong Dinh High School in Go Cong. However, public Internet connections (ISP) are now available in Go Cong and Minh_TOM has been using the ones provided by NgocHuy, Huong Vu and other internet facilities in Go Cong. The Vietnamese government(VNN) has placed a block on Yahoo! Geocities websites so all of MINH T�M's webpages are NOT viewable in Go Cong but they are accessible by doing a Google Search for the website from http://chogo.com.

The MINH_TOM Premo Family also lives in Walnut Creek, California USA with our dogs, "Goldie" (1986-2000), "Taco" and "Mimi". Our three children ( Jackie| Jeanine| Robert) were born in Vietnam and attended schools around world; however, they all graduated from Ygnacio Valley High School (YV) in Concord, CA. Jeanine and Robert attended Diablo Valley College (DVC) in Pleasant Hill and Robert went on to get a BA degree in Graphics Design from Montana State University (MSU) in Bozeman. He was on the track teams in school and still holds the YV Track 100HH and DVC Track 110HH and 400IM Hurdle Records. Robert is married and they live in Helena, Montana and have three children, Terryn | Courtlyn | Rafe. Jeanine is married to Gary Alexander and they live in Concord. He works for Arthur Beren Shoes on Union Square in San Francisco. Jackie is married to Robert Greene and the Greene Family, Kenneth, Danielle and Aaron (AJ), live in Canada.
Buddah MINH_TOM wears a Buddah Pendant that was given to him by his father-in-law, Pham Van Ngu, which was carved from a wild boar's tusk and it seems to bring him luck. He wears the Buddah pendant all of the time; the last time that he didn't wear it was just before Christmas, 1979 and he had a stroke!
