He was a kitchen attendant position# 4-2-28, his name is Tao-Shen Wang. The only information I have is his ”Pass” identification card for the MAAG NCO Mess Club 63. I have a old photo, he wouldhave been in his 20’s. I have thought about hiring a private investigator but cannot afford the cost. I am doing as much research as I can on my own. If you have any information to share please share. I will ccheck blog each week.

The building on the left at 0.07-0.12 is probably the MacKay Memorial Hospital?<br />http://taipeisignalarmy.blogspot.tw/2012/11/living-in-taipei-1957-58.html<br /><br />I'm not sure if the building on the left at 0:23-0.26 is Terry's American Restaurant? Please refer to the third photo of the following website.

I found film of Taipei in 1956 after my father's passing, and I'm trying to identify places shown. In particular at this point, I'm trying to find what the address of Terry's American Restaurant was. If anyone would know, please contact me either at todezwis@yahoo.com, or through my You Tube account, where you can see the film at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTsWgxptxus (copy & paste) Terry's appears at :22 on the left.
