Kenneth on Asking to See and Meeting Ho Chi Minh

Kenneth on Asking to See and Meeting Ho Chi Minh

Hồ, Chí Minh, 1890-1969

Kenneth walked across the street and into the old high commissioner's palace, which was just a few hundred yards from the hotel. He asked to see Ho Chi Minh, and the staff people asked him who he was, which he told them. No one asked him to prove it. "The next thing I knew, I was taken right in to Ho Chi Minh." Ho wanted to know who Kenneth was, and Kenneth explained and told him why he was there. The two men talked about Kenneth's visit and where he was staying.
