On the train towards her first adventure, Min met her best friend Mary Goodhill (nee Jackson) and they would stay lifelong friends. The Weston Girls reunited for the 50th anniversary of their trip to London and thereafter would reunite every two years. In December 2023 the Weston Girls journeyed back to London England to have tea with King Charles III, where they filmed the documentary Cornation Girls which aired on BBC and PPS and is now on YouTube. On April 2, 2025, King Charles III granted Min the Coronation Medal in commemoration of his Coronation.
At the young age of 15, Min found her forever love and best friend EG and they began their life adventure together. Min and EG adventured around North America, bowling, fishing and horseracing. She was an avid bowler at Starlanes and traveled to enter various bowling tournaments.
