I remember a clip, I think from around the time of EEAAO, where he mentioned being known as the big guy among the East West Players. I imagine for a Chinese American born in the 1920s, 5ft 11 range would indeed have been quite tall, presumably the equivalent of a 6ft 1-2 gweilo.
With Quan it does seem likely with good posture he'd measure somewhere near 5ft 9 nowadays, even at 96, so I can buy he's lost 2in and was near 5ft 11 in his day.

I don’t know if I’d go anything over 5’10” for Hong’s peak, but maybe there was more chance of him being over it than under it. He would be probably more 5’8” today, Rob?

@Editor Rob,
Robin’s a good 2 inches on Hong?

Hong was 75yo (back in 2004) & assuming he’s weak 5’10” by then, this makes Robin 181-2cm.
What do u think Rob?

Editor Rob
I not ruled out 181 entirely for Robin...
James has lost height over the years, he could look near 5ft 11 himself in the 70's.
