[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] The old Order passing away

[Wilson Priscilla]

Jon, I've been trying to remember the church where your parents were when I met them. I went to Chicago for a couple of days this week and stopped to see a friend in Norwood Park.
Your Dad's church was St. Andrews Presbyterian Church just south of Norwood Park. This would have been in the 60s I think.

They were hidden from the occupying Japanese army by local folks in the crawl space under the house until smuggled out on a submarine and taken to Ayers Rock (?) in Australia. Maybe Jon can elaborate. I believe her father wrote a book about it.

One night I was so exhausted from long days of teaching and driving to the S.F. House so often, I nearly drove off Highway 280! (I also almost fell asleep reading a book to my 5th graders--not cool!)
