[KS] General Uh Je-yeon

[Thomas Duvernay]

This past weekend, my son and I attended the jesa for General Uh Je-yeon, 
the Korean commander in 1871, on Kanghwa Island.  Also in attendance was Mr. 
James Wardrop (59; he likes to be called 'Jamie') , the great-great nephew 
of Lt. Hugh McKee (USN; one of three US KIA in the 1871 action); the meeting 
between Jamie and the General's grandson (Uh Yoon-won, 85) went very well 
(Mr. Uh stuck close to Jamie all day).  You may or may not have seen the 
story about it on SBS this morning (about three minutes long); my interview 
evidently went on the cutting room floor :-(  Oh, well...
