Hier ein Text von Pat Miller.

Our friend Binh Pho has died. A sad day not only for woodturning and art but for anyone who appreciates an escape from oppression to embrace a new world and live a life of gratitude and enthusiasm. Standing on the roof in line as the last helicopter left at the fall of Saigon he spent many months attempting escape and prison to finally make it to the US where he built a wonderful life for himself and his family. If you get a chance watch the documentary "The Last Days of Vietnam" where he tells some of his story.
He always attracted a crowd and we had seen his demos and met him briefly at earlier woodturning events but I am really glad that I got to spend some quiet talk time with him at the AAW Symposium in Kansas City. We parted with a hug that I shall not forget.
R.I.P
