Letter: Tala Done Published: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 10:51 AM. I was delighted to read Tuesday’s article about Tala Done, the NJROTC cadet corps commander at New Bern High School . I had the privilege of teaching him this spring, and his amazing work ethic and willingness to help others was an asset to our class.

Mon refugee serves as leader, example for Navy JROTC cadets When he was a small boy, Tala Done was stumbling determinedly about in an orange robe, his head shaved, undergoing a Buddhist monk ceremony. He staggered under the weight and circumference of a black alms bowl in the village of Hangan, Burma, while an adult Buddhist monk followed after him, making sure he didn’t fall over.
