Above is a picture of Mr. Chai, Mrs. Shin and their family (women often didn't take their husband's family name). We stayed in the second floor of their house when we first arrived in Korea. There is also a picture of myself, Barbara, and Lt. Kim. I walked about a mile each day on my walk to work and often saw Lt. Kim on his way to work (he was the aide to the commander of the Korean Air Base in Daegu). We became good friends. We also were able to visit Lt. Kim's family (his father was a doctor in a farming town outside of Daegu). On our way back to the U.S. we were able to visit with his grandmother in Seoul. That was Lt. Kim's home during much of his later education as there were better schools available in Seoul. Lt. Kim and his family were Catholics. Later Lt. Kim was able to visit us in the U.S. when he was a graduate student at University of Ohio. Below is a picture they left us with of him and his wife So Hee at their wedding. Lt. Kim's family. =0=
