Very happy, very tired: First of 30 Hmong families arrives here (The Capital Times)

Things will be tight in the sparsely furnished Madison townhouse where newly arrived Hmong refugee Chia Pao Lor and his wife and seven children will bunk temporarily with his cousin Thao Lor, her husband, Mang Yang, and their eight children. Lor and his family arrived in Madison Tuesday evening, landing at Dane County Regional Airport on the final leg of their journey from Thailand to cheers, tears and hugs from some 40 friends and relatives.
