from Byte Sized Biographies… · host Philip D. Gibbons

Ted Ngoy, the ultimate American Dream, including donuts Ted Ngoy's First Donut Shop, La Habra, California Eventually, in 1976, one of Ted's customers showed him an ad in the local newspaper, the Orange County Register, advertising a donut shop for sale.  Ngoy had meticulously saved 20,000 dollars, the seller financed the rest of the $45,000 purchase price. Ted and his wife, Suganthini, with Richard Nixon By 1985, Ted was a millionaire and a very respected member of the Cambodian community.  He and his wife moved into a 7,000 square foot home in Mission Viejo and Ngoy became active in the Orange County Republican Party. Ted Ngoy in Cambodia, 2017 Most media accounts of Ted Ngoy end sometime around 2014.  It’s hard to keep up with an individual so far away from the western press, even in the age of the internet. But, judging from his Facebook page, he is alive and surviving quite well. His “photos” page features him, a man in his seventies, with a much younger and beautiful woman who he began dating when she was in her teens.  Judging from the photo they seem quite happy.
