Images and testaments to the awe of the human spirit are at the heart of what helped give shape to the beginning of the Megan Khang story. For instance, the perception that Lee Khang was pushing his only child hard and fast into golf.
“I never saw that,” said Greg Simeone, who is the principal at Harmon Golf in Rockland, Mass., a hugely popular practice and teaching facility with a nine-hole golf course.
“They lived around the corner,” said Simeone of Lee, his wife Nou, and Megan. “Lee would bring her over when she was 4 or 5 and I only remember that she was always smiling. It was her happy place. (Golf) was her swing set.”
Compare that soothing entry into the world to the experiences Lee and Nou had as youngsters. They were stowaways, traveling with their families to flee their homeland, Laos, which was falling to a communist regime in the aftermath of the Vietnam War.
