  • Remembered in the Our Journeys memoirs as part of the New York circle that first shaped the shared overseas dream of a Taiwan Center (台灣會館) [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys9-eng|Our Journeys #9]] / 9. 第一聲號角:台灣會館建館委員會的誕生 (黃再添, 2014-09) — the author recalls absorbing the dream of 「台灣樓」「台灣會館」 from conversations with 陳隆豐, 彭良治, 張富雄, 魏瑞明, 陳阿火, 辜澄彬.
  • At the Taiwan Center Building Committee’s first Executive Committee meeting (1983-11-23, at 賴弘典’s office) he was elected 主任委員 (chairman) of the 21-member Executive Committee, with 蔡明峰 and 辜澄彬 as vice-chairs — “籌建台灣會館的列車…正式開動” under his leadership, with a six-month $500,000 fundraising plan [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys09|Our Journeys #9 (中文版)]].
  • Elected to the 21-member Executive Committee under the Taiwan Center Building Committee [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys27|Our Journeys #27]].
  • As president of the New York 台灣同鄉會 (mid-1970s) he volunteered the chapter to host the 2nd 世台會 (World Association of Taiwanese Communities) annual conference and led its preparation — held 1975-07-10–13 at NYU (Robert Student Center), theme 化鄉土的感情成真正的關心; he chaired the contentious 建議、討論、決議 session where pro-Beijing disrupters were ejected [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys283|Our Journeys #283]].
  • As Taiwan Center chairman (理事長) he steered the Center through its 1991–1992 financial crisis: one of four volunteers — with 樊豐美, 黃再添 (Patrick Huang), and 賴弘典 (Hong-Tien Lai) — who kept fundraising for the failing Center and recruited the memoir’s author as Center Director in 1992 [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys76|Our Journeys #76]].

  • HOLD: conflict — the 全美會 history in Our Journeys #27 lists 陳隆豐 as secretary and as a director at the 1971 Washington D.C. incorporation of The Formosan Club of America, Inc.; attribution to this person is not yet confirmed against his later New York roles.
  • His own TAH encyclopedia entries are preserved in-corpus at 151. Dr. Lung-Fong Chen 陳隆豐博士 and 58. Dr. Lung-Fong Chen 陳隆豐博士.
  • Told the founding story of the Taiwan Center in the 2017 oral history 「心心念念一間厝」: the near-purchase of the Bowne Street veterans’ club in Flushing collapsed the day before signing when the seller backed out after a New York Times story on Flushing property prices; the Center then found its Northern Boulevard home (a former nightclub) — from “white elephant” in outsiders’ eyes to a beloved community landmark whose rising value made the buy look “有眼光” [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys304|Our Journeys #304 (黃兆平, 2017-07)]] / English counterpart.
  • Authored the essay 國家繼承與不平等條約 (2003-11, 政治) 309. 國家繼承與不平等條約 — the companion piece to his 1974 book on state succession and unequal treaties.

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-20: hit set unchanged (ourjourneys9 / ourjourneys9-eng, ourjourneys27 / ourjourneys27-eng, ourjourneys76, ourjourneys283, essay 308, own encyclopedia record 151) — the English counterpart [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys27-eng|Our Journeys #27 (English)]] carries the same 全美會 committee record as #27, no new facts; all material above remains the full absorbable set.
  • Corpus re-grep 2026-10-13 (slice 10120800-25): 18-file hit set across all 5 corpus dirs (ourjourneys09/9-eng, 27/27-eng, 76, 283, 304/304-eng, essays 308/309, encyclopedia records 151 + whos-who-58, works/index + sources registry, TJJ obituary 2024 + 轉載 2025 + handover article 2021) — identical to prior saturation; no new material; page remains saturated.
