Findlay Retired Missionary Enjoys Chinese Food Prepared by 'Hop Sing'

Picture caption: Hop Sing (Victor S. Yung), cook in the television show “Bonanza”, displays some of his culinary art in preparing an Easter dinner of Chinese food for Miss Myrtle Bailey here yesterday. Miss Bailey is a great-aunt of Mrs. Jack Snyder, Elm Rd, in whose home the meal was prepared. Miss Bailey, a retired missionary, spent 33 years in China. Upon reading of Mr. Yung’s visit with the Marathon Oil Company here, she called the actor at his hotel and the two engaged in a true Cantonese conversation. The Chinese food for the retired Miss Bailey was the result.

  1. Now that is worth a whole lot of digging, isn't It? I regret to say that I remember Bonanza, and "Hop Sing." I must have seen it when I was a baby! :)
