May Robinson, my long-time friend and former business associate, passed away on Sunday, July 9th, at the age of 86.
May was an exceptional individual as she always lived up to the virtues and values of American Exceptionalism.
Manshook “May” Wong was born in 1937 in Hong Kong and raised during America’s Depression years, through World War II, and during the 1950s.
May met and married William Albert Robinson, the first American to circumnavigate the world in a 32-foot sailboat. They lived in Tahiti and had one daughter, Rampa.
May and William divorced and she moved to Hawaii, then to California. Here, she fulfilled her dream of proudly becoming an American Citizen.
Unquestionably, May was a True American at all times. She worked diligently and productively and always gave her very best.
May exercised daily and lived a healthy lifestyle. She had a remarkable singing voice but never pursued a career. Nonetheless, with her dedication and persistence, she would have been a major singing celebrity had she chosen that route versus “down to earth” everyday work.
At our Vegetable Garden Center, Country Market and Garden Café in Malibu, California, May was a ”Super Saleswoman” and a celebrity in her own right with all the many entertainment celebrities that lived in the legendary Malibu area.
May was a strong believer in Almighty God and Americanism.
She was a loyal supporter of the Old Veterans Guard here in Los Angeles in our efforts to serve and protect our disabled and homeless U.S. Military Veterans.
While she was a unique and independent individual, she was first-and-foremost a Fellow American, never an Asian-American.
A few years ago, May and I were having lunch at a restaurant and a lady came to our table and asked May what her nationality was and she said "American." The lady said no, she wanted to know where she was from and May responded: "My great-great-grandparents came here on the Mayflower."
May was definitely a "one-of-a-kind American" as it didn’t matter to her where you came from, it’s where you were going as an American Citizen.
Attached is a photo overview and tribute to May that shows the many factors of her life. Throughout, she was a True American who helped to Make America Great.
As America sadly loses these older, middle-class True Americans, they are being replaced by millions-upon-millions of illegal-aliens that do not want to work but want everything given to them by those who do work.
This perverted and destructive movement toward “communism” must stop, posthaste!
May God Bless Manshook “May” Robinson and the United States of America.
