ABOUT THE AUTHOR / HAIS TXOG TUS TSWV SAU

My name is Jay Xiong and I was born in 1962 in a small village called Phoukhaokhuai, about 200 miles north of
Vientiane, Laos. I finished grade 7th in Laos and migrated to Thailand in 1978 as a refugee. In
1979, my family migrated again to the United States. I finished high school in 1982
and in 1984 I finished my Associate Degree in Mechanical Design from Lakeshore Tech, Cleveland, Wisconsin.
From 1984 to 1997 I worked as a CADD (Computer Aided Design & Drafting) Computer Progammer for one of the Architech and Engineering
firms in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Currently, I am a Database Administrator and a Computer Programmer working for
one of the supermarket wholesalers and grocery retailers in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
Writing this dictionary is one of the hardest endeavors I have ever taken, and it would not be possible without
the help from the people mentioned below.
