Anthony, was owner of Embassy Travel in Washington, DC for 30 years. He brought United Airlines into our lives making it one of the first Fortune corporations to become an active USPAACC national member. As Scholarship Committee Chair, he designed the rigorous application and review process for selecting deserving Pan Asian American high school graduates for USPAACC’s College Scholarship Program. With his loving wife, Janice Yu, they received, counseled, and guided our annual college scholarship recipients to present themselves to their scholarship sponsors, including making their acceptance speech before an audience of 500 to 700 Awards Gala Dinner guests. They call them their USPAACC parents. We miss him already.
