Yes, this is indeed the birthday of Charlie Chan's surviving Number One Son, James Hong! I treasure that 2010 visit to that gallery in Honolulu and the wonderful event that resulted due to Mr. Hong's graciousness. Happy birthday, Mr. Hong!
I was fortunate enough to be there in HNL at his 2010 appearance at Author Earl Derr Biggers' Birthday bash and Steve's Mystery Weekend, with both Rush and Hawaii Steve! A great person, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. HONG"!
