Now this is off subject.....
"He lived in England in the period 1913 - 1917 where he trained as a pastry chef under the legendary French master, Escoffier at the Carlton Hotel in the Haymarket, Westminster."
I don't know if you know this but the idea of Ho as an escoffier provides inspiration for poets and novelists. See A Good Scent From A Strange Mountain-- by Robert Olen Butler which can be found on-line @ http://www.deanza.edu/faculty/swensson/good_scent.html for an example. And also Monique Truong's novel, *The Book of Salt, *where Ho's Paris sojourn figures in.

CB: Yea, Ho has some romantic appeal, a real man of the world.
