    This is very shocking and very sad. I lived in with her family in 1977 as Pyong Hwa Pong Sa Tan Peace Corps Volunteer Oh Myung Hee, with wonderful parents and siblings and this princess teenage girl and genius cellist. She practiced Saint Saens day and night, and I loved to hear her play. She was very sweet. My heartfelt sympathies and condolences to her family.

    That was in a beautiful Japanese style home in Daejon-si while I taught English at Daejon Girls’ Middle School.
