Let me tell you about an American success story.

I have been a patron of Tuckerton’s China Palace restaurant for some 30 years. The hardworking husband and wife team who own it, who once spoke very halting English, have put in countless hours over the decades. I’d go there for an early lunch at 11 a.m. and there they were. I’d go there for a late dinner and there they were. Day after day after day.
