Anniversary for the Star of Chicago

While I attended a Wedding Ceremony on Sunday, January 24, 2010, at Belverdere Events Banquet in Elk Grove, Illinois, I was recollecting my own wedding ceremony on June 18, 1988, twenty-two years ago aboard the Star of Chicago yacht on Lake Michigan. The Windy City hosted my wedding party when I married Nathan Scott Wittler Patriquin, former U.S. Navy Postal Clerk aboard the USS Platte stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, following the end of his U.S. Naval service. Nathan S. Wittler's parents, Reverend Melvin A. Wittler and Mrs. Nancy Wittler Patriquin, travelled from Istanbul, Turkey to the United States, and brought Christian missionaries with them, invited as guests, to include his brothers Brian Wittler, Ken Wittler, and sister Heather Wittler, from West Dummerston, Vermont, and Boston, Massachusetts, in New England. In addition, my father, Mr. Robert Hung, invited my Uncle Filiberto Hung and wife Mireya Hung Lee with my eldest cousin, Ana Mireya Hung Lee who travelled from Flushing, New York to attend the Wedding aboard the Star of Chicago. We had more than 50 wedding guests who included U.S. Navy David Patriquin and his wife Cynthia Patriquin, as well as my former French teacher Mrs. Francis Salvato and husband Frank Salvato, U.S. Air Force. Twenty-two years have passed, while I still remember all the restaurant dinners and wedding breakfasts along the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago, by the Belmont Harbour, in Illinois, for my own wedding ceremony at Chicago City Hall.

Harassment of Gardenia C. Hung by Brett Hochstatter and Edie Corbly, John Corbly former Lombard Fire Chief

During the three day weekend beginning on Friday, January 16, 17, 18, 2010, I have been harassed, threatened, and intimidated by Edith Corbly and John Corbly from Springfield Illinos, Brett Hochstatter, security employee at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn and resident from Addison, Illinois, and Henry W. Hochstatter, for discussing and making public that I have been paying more than $1,348.71 to Henry W. Hochstatter in cash expenses for gasoline, meals, telephone, moving expenses, AT&T deposits, and other miscellaneous cash expenses for his family, Mother Rosave Handy and Stepfather Kenneth Handy, both staying at Lexington Healthcare Center in Bloomingdale, Illinois. Henry W. Hochstatter became verbally abusive, insulting me, threatening me, and telling me that he is going to throw out my belonging out the door and over the stairs, and make me move out, so that I had to call the Villa Park Police Department at 140 W. St. Charles Road, Aparment 4B, Villa Park, Illinois 60181. I have been publicly stating that Henry W. Hochstatter owes $1,340.71 owes Gardenia C. Hung for incurred cash expenses charged to the CHASE credit card during 2009 and 2010. Gardenia C. Hung is being threatened, screamed out, and harassed by the Hochstatter brother Brett Hochstatter and sister Edie Corbly, married to John Corbly former Fire Chief in Addison and Lombard, Illinois in DuPage County, Illinois.
