Update: In March of 2016 I received an e-mail from my new friend Cao Tan Thiet who was born and raised in Duc Pho. This lady is his aunt and he gave me the correct spelling of her name. Here is the English translation of her name. It is Ms. Le Thi Phuoc. Thank you Thiet.

Update: In July of 2010 I received an e-mail from a young man in Vietnam that grew up in Duc Pho, Vietnam. Xuan Phong Nguyen is his name and he knew Ms Letus. He told me that she did survive the war and still lived in Duc Pho.
