Mississippi Delta Chinese

Date:  29 December 2011

Born in Greenwod, MS and lived in Moorhead, MS.  My father, Joe W. Quon was a farmer and businessman who also ran a grocery store.  My mother, Sandra Quon, was an artist, musician, and teacher.  I have two older brothers, Eric and Richard and one younger sister, Teresa. 

I graduated in 1983 from Delta State Univeristy and married in 1984 to the former Miss Melanie Chow of Greenville, MS.  We have a daughter, Mallery who is married to Joshua Yen of Texas and a son, Joseph Woodrow Quon (named after my father and father-in-law) who is still attending high school. 

After retirement from the US Army, I entered into the Aerospace and Defense Industry and am currently the Vice Preisdent of Unmanned Systems for Elbit Systems of America. Melanie is an RN and Mallery is a Children's Minister at the Village Church in Flower Mound, TX.  Joe is planning to follow in my footsteps as a soldier.
