Portrait of an American Family

Chase's due date is Thanksgiving Day, an American holiday, but his birth paints a portrait of an American family. Chase's great-grandfather George was born in Romania in 1900. He sailed to America at 13 and married a French-Canadian girl. Her lovely daughter, Penny married a man named Taishik, a POW survivor serving U.S. troops after capture in the Korea War. Chase's maternal grandfather, Huseyin was from Konya-Eregli, Turkey. He married the beautiful Mesude and gave birth to Guzin in the capital of Ankara. After studying economics along the Silk Road in Bursa, Guzin accepted an accounting job in New York where she met writer, Thomas Chi.
