Kwan is still enjoying retirement in the area of Oakland, California.

I remember Kwan fondly from Jade Island. Always the lady, dressed in a long dress or gown and greeted us (and everyone) warmly

And I remember the radio commercial from WLNH: “Hello, this is Kwan. I’d love to see you at Jade Island tonight.”

Scorpions bowls and poo poo platters were the go-to for our group. They had a dance place downstairs but we only went a few times.

Loved Jade Island
