I hope that (1) we possess a spirit of adventure; (2) we dare to take up any challenges; (3) we are so intelligent that we can pursue, discover and create many new things, new ideas and new ventures; (4) we all have integrity; (5) we are loyal to America; (6) we love Taiwan and support and provide safeguards against those that wish to overturn the existence of Taiwan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"cho.bill1\"<\/strong>Who are you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a retired Nuclear Safety Specialist for the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety since December 2002. Subsequently, I founded RiskSolver Communications, a consulting service for industry and government agencies world wide. In the Taiwanese American community, I am known as one of the founding board members of the Taiwanese American Foundation summer conference, which has its roots from the Midwest Formosan Christian Fellowship (MFCF) since 1966.<\/p>\n

What do you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Currently, I engage in development and optimization work as it applies to Reliability and Risk Assessment for multi-purpose applications. I look at risk-based information and risk-informed data for conducting probabilistic risk assessments.<\/p>\n

Why are you proud to be of Taiwanese heritage? <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I came to America in the fall of 1956 for advanced study at the University of Michigan to study engineering science, but embraced a deep conviction, consciousness, and pride for my Taiwanese heritage. The underlying reason at that time was my feelings of deep sorrow for seeing the dreadful era of the post-1947, 228 KMT massacre. Everywhere in Taiwan, there prevailed an atmosphere of despair and hopelessness. So, I could not help but go abroad to seek a new horizon — and a new opportunity in America.<\/p>\n

What does the future of Taiwanese America look like to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Being Taiwanese and American, I forever acknowledge that our heritage is unique: I hope that (1) we possess a spirit of adventure; (2) we dare to take up any challenges; (3) we are so intelligent that we can pursue, discover and create many new things, new ideas and new ventures; (4) we all have integrity; (5) we are loyal to America; (6) we love Taiwan and support and provide safeguards against those that wish to overturn the existence of Taiwan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
