One of the sisters was Frieda Wong. Frieda says, "Captain Wong was from Chicago, Illinois, and received the first Chinese Commercial Pilot's License." Donald left his older sister Dora and his next to the youngest sister Edith in Chicago because they were both married. For a short time, Frieda was married to Paul Chinn. Captain Chinn was killed in a plane accident in 1941. December 12, 2000 From Frieda Chen "I joined CNAC in 1941 as secretary to the Managing Director, P.Y. Wong. I was Secretary CNAC, Secretary and Administrative Assistant to Vice-President and Director William L. Bond and Gordon B. Tweedy. I resigned in 1948." Today and for many happy years, Frieda has been married to T.T. Chen. Stay tuned to this site as Frieda has lots more to share... It was my (Tom Moore) pleasure to meet Frieda and T.T. at the CNAC Reunion in 2002.
