Speaker : Lois Wittner

Lois is a Professor Emeritus of the San Diego Mesa College Communications Department. She has taught in China as a visiting professor and has traveled extensively there. After taking a sabbatical in Guangzhou, she entered into communication with our museum in the late 1990’s. Through conversations with the museum community, including Murray Lee, Felix, Jennings, and Jimmy Hom, as well as John LeeWong, she began to research and develop a series of historically accurate scale models that depict buildings and scenes from San Diego’s historic Chinatown. Four models are currently on display as part of our permanent exhibition, including the model of Gim Wing and Woo Chee Chong, the Turf Club and Parlor House, a model of the restored Chinese Mission building, and the Wong Lee Laundry
