I first met Yin Lo-I at the bus stop on the campus of the University of Michigan in 1960.  I was a first year graduate student.  Lo-I was very friendly and we became good friends since then.   He invited  me to his home for dinner many times.  I met his wife Won and their first baby son.  That was 60 years ago.  Their baby loved to say "por-le" in Mandarin.  It means  "broken".  The baby played with broken toys.  We all were poor students!  Later he told me how he got out of China and came to Hong Kong alone, how he miraculously bumped into his college English teacher in China on the street in Hong Kong.  He eventually came to America in 1949.  It was an amazing life story with struggles, hopes and destiny.  I got married in 1963 but we still kept close touch with one another. He even visited my father in Hong Kong and visited us in St. Louis in 1975.  We know Lo-I so well that our son, John, after graduated from Princeton in 1996, even deposited his luggage in Lo-I's garage in Silver Spring, Maryland, and stayed in Washington DC for the summer and worked as an intern in the office of Missouri Senator, Mr. Ashcroft.  Lo-I was an accomplished violinist and received his MA degree in Music from the Eastman School of Music before he went on the University of Michigan to study Physics.  He eventually earned his PhD in Physics. What a determination!  Lo-I had a brilliant and marvelous mind. While working at NASA, he invented a small hand-held x-ray device that could be easily used in dentistry.  Lo-I also was a marathon runner.  What a good friend for 60 years.  My wife Helena and I miss Dr. Louis Lo-I Yin.
Your good friends forever.  Helena and Harold Law
