Then we moved to Boston in 1974 to run two clinics there and launched the Boston branch of the Hong Kong College of Acupuncture. This later became the New England School of Acupuncture, still going today. In 1976, Cottage Hospital lent me a room to teach Acupuncture. The following year I was given a classroom at the SB City College. Then I opened an office on State St. Here is one of several articles in the Santa Barbara paper. Exciting years!
