Mike's father, Lito, didn't coach him. Beginning at age 8 my father coached him. Mike's father, Lito, just took pictures and fawned over me while his daughters lusted after me.

This is just one of the many teams my father coached that Mike was a part of.

See Tam Nguyen*? David met Tam in the late 80s. They began to grow apart then Tam moved to Huntington Beach in the mid-late 2000s. That's when Richie became closer to him. Tam now lives in Texas; hence you see him fishing with Steven. I believe this is the only Asian friend David and Steven have ever had and the second Asian friend Richie has had (I believe Richie was friends with a Korean in high school). What did my brothers refer to Asians as in the 80s and 90s? SLOPEs, GOOKs, ZIPPERs (short for ZIPPERHEADs), and HOP-TSING! (My brother Gery is the only brother of mine to have had a Filipino friend!)
*My father referred to Tam as a 'Boat Person'.
Later today I'll tell you all what my older siblings think about Filipinos. Here's a hint: THEY DON'T LIKE THEM. I think Gery had 1 Filipino friend in high school (some guy that attended Workman High School) and Tina had one 1 Filipino friend in high school (her name is Cathy Cruz). See the above photo? My brother Richie wasn't close to the Alpenias when he was younger (60s, 70s, 80, 90s). He only recently** began associating with them and attending their parties after frequently encountering Jack's daughters Stephanie and Gigi in Huntington Beach in the mid-2000s. He's the only sibling of mine that maintains any relationship with that family. There were many, many Filipino families that my father knew, but now that he's deceased, we have no contact with any of those families. As for Filipinos we're related to, they all descend from the union between Claudio Bagobe Dagampat and Anna Kekoi Dagampat. That is, the Filipinos we're related to are racially admixed and don't really identify as Filipino.
*The first time any of my siblings encountered*** a Filipino was when they moved to Hawaii in the 1970s. Since then, they've seen some in California and only a couple of them have befriend one (Tina met one through the pharmaceutical industry and Richie met one through the surf industry). My older siblings don't mesh well with Filipinos because Filipinos are socially and culturally different than my siblings. (When Richie sees a Filipino nowadays, whether a male or female, he says 'Pinoy Pinay, Pinoy Pinay' but pronounces Pinoy like PIN O and Pinay like PEEN A (the long vowel version of A).)
