PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."Reunited and it feels so good
"Again, it was my husband who had the idea, to go to the reading on Saturday," Lung said.
Lung's husband had seen a Facebook post about Kochai's new book and suggested they make the drive to a reading in Davis, California.
"I had no idea they were going to be there," Kochai said, sounding absolutely delighted.
"I don't know how I didn't see her before, but Mrs. Lung was sitting in the front row. I mean, it had been 20 to 22 years since the last time I'd seen her," he reasoned.
They hugged and he gushed, and she asked him to sign her copy of his first novel.
"And I got to leave a little note for her explaining how much she meant to me. And it was a really lovely evening," Kochai added.
They exchanged numbers again, and now they've made a new plan. "We're going to have a big family dinner next week!" Kochai said.
In the meantime, Lung has some homework: "I am part of the way through his first book and I just got his second book at the reading, so I'll be reading that when I'm finished."
