Corrigendum/addendum... A little subbing/editong won't hurt! I know a Filipina on Sukhumvit road. A wheeler-dealer publisher and night creme producer vedor. Amelita de La Cruz known as "Amy". Once the daughter, visiting mother was wearing a tight olive green army t-shirt, large upper case white: ARMY. Why, I asked her? Khun Amy explained "In the 50s the first ever Miss Universe the blue eyed Finnish Armi Kuusela married a dashing Filipino real estate tycoon Virgilio Hilario. That's why Amelitas daughter is called Armi - not "Army". But Armi & Hilario was the first big east meet west romance. John Koistinen-Lindgren Carsanook Royaume de Thailande
