members to recognize each other, he
said.
Un also discovered that some of
his family did not survive their im
prisonment.
“When I finally came back to see
my family, I had lost one brother,”
he said. “He died by starvation. I
also lost a grandfather, grand
mother, two uncles and an aunt.”
Un’s home was destroyed and his
family was forced to find a new place
to live.
During that year Un helped the
family survive by smuggling goods
from Thailand to Cambodia.
“I tried to buy anything that
would be very hard to find in Cam
bodia,” he said.
After living close to the border of
the two countries, Un decided that it
would be safer and easier to make a
living if the family moved to Thai
land.
That year the Un family fled from
Cambodia, running by night and
hiding out in the woods by day.
They arrived at a refugee camp in
Thailand.
It was here that Un started paint
ing pictures of his experiences in
Cambodia. His pictures attracted the
attention of journalists and doctors
in the camp. Their initial reactions
were of concern for the young boy’s
mental state.
When other refugees explained
what Un had been through, the doc
tors understood the boy’s desire to
paint such tragic images and the
journalists became interested in Un’s
life.
The Un family stayed in Thailand
for seven months, then in the Phil
ippines for six months. After Un’s
father had written many letters to a
leader of a Cambodian community
in Minnesota, the family made its
way to the United States.
The family now lives in Minne
sota.
Un’s father works as a janitor at a
high school, although, he once was a
prominent civil engineer in Cambo
dia. His mother, who got a diploma
to teach high school in Cambodia,
works as a cook for the University of
Minnesota.
Un said his parents are happy to
work, although, their jobs aren’t
comparable to the ones they had.
Neither of his parents have Amer
ican certificates to prove their educa
tion and they had to destroy their
Cambodian certificates for safety
purposes.
Un said his family is happy in
America and has found the govern
ment to be fair.
“I think the American Constitu
tion is the best in the world,” he said.
Un also has adjusted well to
American customs and cultures, al
though, some of them seemed very
foreign at first.
“I had never seen football befo
re,” Un said. "They looked like a
group of astronauts trying to wrestle
each other.”
But since coming to A&M, Un has
begun to really like the sport.
“I taped every A&M game that
showed on TV, especially the Cotton
Bowl and Texas Longhorn games,”
Un said. “And 1 really like this
team.
“I like the Aggie tradition — the
way they are united together,” he
said. “Another reason I like A&M is
because I have a perfect roommate.
We both get along really well —just
like brothers.”

Pathologists examining human remains

fused to comment directly on the
report.
“On the issue of human remains,
all I can tell you at this point is that
we are sensitive to the issue of per
sonal effects and to the remains of
the astronauts,” he said.
“We have plans in place to treat
them with great dignity and great
privacy, appropriate to the respect
that we have for them,” Graham
said.
The agency acknowledged five
days earlier that one bone section
washed ashore, but has never said
whether it was identified as coming
from an astronaut.
It cautioned that the bone could
be that of an animal or remains from
missing fishermen and other people.
Lt. Cmdr. James Simpson of the
Coast Guard said, “They did not re
trieve very much debris yesterday;
there was a dramatic decline from
the day before.
If they have the same kind of re
sults today where they have an ex
panded (search) area and two days
in a row of very little debris being re
trieved, then I think tonight they’ll
take a hard look at 'do they need all
these resources?’ ”
On Monday, the search area(
