My name is Manny Sampayan, youngest of the Sampayan7 from Binalonan. We immigrated from Binalonan in 1969 to Los Angeles. We lived with my uncle Lorenzo(Larry and his family until 1971. I remember stories from my uncle Larry about my great uncle Carlos, one in piticular was one day he visited uncle Carlos in a hotel or apartment, once inside he met and talked with him about Binalonan, his family and ours. He noticed that uncle Carlos coughed alot and smoked alot. He saw an old typewriter that uncle Carlos used to write many stories on, if that typewriter was still around today, immagine what stories it would tell? You can contact my brother at 1-646-379-4487. Good luck and i hope this is just a little tidbit of stories to come...Manny : I am a Filipina-American writer from Los Angeles, working on a book called "Filipinos in Los Angeles," which will be published in 2007. Does anyone have the contact information for R. Sonny Sampayan (Carlos Bulosan's grand-nephew)? We would like to include information about Carlos Bulosan's time in Los Angeles, and we are trying to find a resource for photographs and accurate information.
: I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide!
: Thank you for your time.
