VIETNAM. Tuyet Mai is the 13-year-old daughter of Nguyen Thi Ba. She was born in Nga Trang but the family now live in Vung Tau. Together with her sister, Be Anh, 5-years-old, she sells peanuts on the beach to visitors. Her "patch" is the part of the beach reserved for foreigners who are mostly Russian and East Europeans. She agreed that her Caucasian appearance helped with sales. She knows nothing about her father and knew nothing about emigrating to America. (I could not locate her mother). After this picture appeared in LIFE magazine in 1985, I was inundated with requests for her identity from men who had served in Viet Nam and, surprisingly, their wives. One man did manage to bring her to America but doubts were cast on his claim to be her father.
