“Find the Worm”
Aspen Pacific Heights
Lai Man Yee, whose sparkling smile and bubbly laughter radiate her lively intellect and warm, inviting sense of humor, was born in Taishan, China on June 6th, 1930. The oldest child, she grew up on a farm with her two sisters and brother. Then as now, "I was interested in everything," she says, and as a child, she loved to read, cook, and create things by hand.
With her family, she moved to San Francisco, where she met her husband and worked in a clothing factory. She and her husband had two daughters and one son, and their life in San Francisco was a happy one.
Lai has lived at Aspen for three years now, where she has an active social life, and many, many friendships. She likes to paint and to draw, and especially enjoys depicting birds and fish. When asked what advice she would give a younger person, she laughs, "Plan everything!"
