One of the Cambodian English teachers that I met in the camp was this man, Hongly Khuy. Six years later he and I would become neighbors in Hawaii. I was a graduate student and he was an undergrad. Now he is a leader in the Hawaiian Cambodian community and an electrical engineer / draftsman. You can visit his website at . http://www2.hawaii.edu/~hongly/

Hongly had been a smuggler of the Thai Cambodian border.

When we met in Hawaii, Hongly told me that every night he was still having nightmares about his experiences in Cambodia and on the border.
