张华星医生 (Ted Wah Sing Chong, M.D.) — Stella 的丈夫，亦是Eesley家族在战后年代延伸出的华裔分支的核心人物。1920年8月24日生于檀香山 — 比Stella早五岁，同城出生。他与Stella结合的婚姻，使Eesley家族在1942年战时收留Stella的决定，到了二十世纪中叶有了持续到今天的下一代延续。

教育与海军服役

毕业于檀香山麦金莱中学 (McKinley High School)，赴美本土在宾夕法尼亚大学接受全部高等教育 — 本科、医学院及医学研究生学位，均在该校完成，并以美国海军预备役 (USNR) 项目修读医学院。1943至1945年任海军上尉 (Lieutenant Junior Grade)，曾服役于：

• 檀香山艾亚 (Aiea) 的Tripler军医院
• 太平洋艾尼威托克环礁的”砂岩行动” (Operation Sandstone)

战时拍摄于华盛顿特区潮汐湖樱花树下的他穿着海军礼服与Stella的合影（背面盖戳为1945年4月10日 KISCO Certified Photo Service）— 是本档案中关于他海军服役的视觉记录。

战后医务事业

战后在檀香山开设妇产科诊所，后迁居新泽西州Moorestown，在南泽西地区行医超过五十年。曾任托马斯·杰斐逊大学和库柏医院临床教师；在新泽西州Riverside市Zurbrugg医院，他创办了一家妇女乳腺癌诊所 — 在他那一代男性妇产科医生中是一项罕见的倡议。

他是认真的业余高尔夫球手，多年来保持个位数差点，直至92岁仍在打球。

婚姻与子女

第一次婚姻 — 与Stella Elaine Sunn，二战后数年内成婚。Stella于1971年2月15日辞世。育有两个孩子：Sue Lin / SueLynn 和 Glenn。

第二次婚姻 — 与Janice M. Chong，由她在他身后留世。再育有两女：Jei Lee Freeman（嫁Barry Freeman；麻州Winchester市）和Erica Slavin（麻州Nantucket市）。孙辈：Ryan Chong、Kevin Chong、Lucy Freeman。

2013年时其健在的近亲包括：胞姐 Marietta Eng（檀香山）和弟媳 Blanche Chong（檀香山）。

Dr. Ted Wah Sing Chong (FamilySearch GDG6-3J1, eleven sources) was born in Honolulu on August 24, 1920 to Mr. and Mrs. C.S. Wing — five years before Stella Sunn, in the same city. He attended McKinley High School in Honolulu, then went to the U.S. mainland for higher education: undergraduate degree, medical degree, and graduate medical studies all at the University of Pennsylvania, with medical school taken under the United States Naval Reserve program.

He was on active duty as a Lieutenant Junior Grade in the USNR from 1943 to 1945, serving at Tripler Medical Hospital in Aiea, Hawaii and at Operation Sandstone in the Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific. After the war he began a private obstetric and gynecology practice in Honolulu.

In the years that followed he relocated to Moorestown, New Jersey, where he practiced medicine in South Jersey for over fifty years. He served on the clinical faculty of Thomas Jefferson University and Cooper Hospitals, and at Zurbrugg Hospital in Riverside, NJ, was a founder of a breast cancer clinic for women — a notable thing for a male OB/GYN of his generation to have organized.

He was a serious amateur golfer. He carried a single-digit handicap for many years and remained a golfer through age 92. He belonged to the Doctors Golf Association of Philadelphia and the Tavistock Country Club. He kept a garden.

First marriage — to Stella Elaine Sunn, in the years after the war. Stella died February 15, 1971. They had two children: Sue Lin / SueLynn and Glenn.

Second marriage — to Janice M. Chong, who survived him. Two further children, Jei Lee Freeman (married Barry Freeman; of Winchester, MA at the time of Ted’s death) and Erica Slavin (of Nantucket, MA at the time of Ted’s death). Grandchildren listed in the obituary as Ryan Chong, Kevin Chong, and Lucy Freeman.

Surviving extended family in 2013 included his sister Marietta Eng of Honolulu and sister-in-law Blanche Chong of Honolulu.

He appears in the late-1960s family group portrait standing beside Stella, with Uncle Will in front.

Aunt Jeanne’s most durable memory of Ted is a non-memory: he was at work the afternoon she visited Stella and Ted’s home on the East Coast, hadn’t come home yet, and Jeanne ate the last cookie Stella had set out for him. She was “fussed at” for it. Fifty years later that was the detail that came back when she thought about Stella and Ted — “that cookie is probably why I remember the visit.”
