<div>In the San Francisco House, 1970-71, Ellery acquired some bamboo poles and
taught the kids a Philippino game kind of like jump rope, but jumping between
the poles as they were clapped together in rhythm. She was very good at
it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I believe she and her parents didn't get evacuated for 2 or
3 years after the war broke out. 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.</div>

<div>I feel privileged to have been acquainted with these two heroines.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I remember Ellery's talking about having lived in the Philippines
as a high school girl. (Her dad was a missionary and they were evacuated when
WWII broke out.) When she was assigned to Manila, she thought the
Tagalog language she had been fluent in would come back to her fairly easily.
She was very frustrated to find that it was gone and not coming back. About 6
months in to her assignment, she had been doing development in Manila and was
exhausted. She got on the bus to go home and wanted nothing much more than a
good nap. But the women just behind her would not let that happen. They kept
yammering away about the most stupid and trivial things: their kids and their
squabbles, the troubles in their marriages, and other nonsense. Ellery was
furious; why couldn't these women shut up and let her sleep?
<div>Suddenly, she realized that the women were speaking Tagalog and she was
understanding every word. She was so tired that she had lost all her
inhibitions and the Tagalog that lay just beneath her conscious mind came out.
So from then on, she both understood and spoke Tagalog fluently.</div>
<div>She had a great time telling this story on herself.</div>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="navy" size="2" face="Arial"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">First, a reflection
on Ellery – as a young and inexperienced Global Prior, Ellery was one of the
ones who was gracious enough to let me learn from my mistakes without rancor
and yet with continued nourishing support. Just her face was a human support
mechanism. She spiritually nourished me and we rarely even spoke. And with
mortality on my mind as so many saints are called home, knowing you have gone
with God, I will let go a bit of the anticipation of my own
return.</span></font></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="navy" size="2" face="Arial"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: navy; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">For Carol, while
there are many, many memories: one that popped to the top was the time we were
at the IERD in Delhi and had boarded the VERY tiny elevator on the top floor
(about the 22<sup>nd</sup> as I recall) of the hotel where we were housed. We
pushed the button for the ground floor and about a third of the way down, the
elevator shuddered to a stop and the door opened…on a brick wall. Well, I was
a little claustrophobic and unaware that Carol was extremely claustrophobic.
That hour waiting to be rescued (it could have been 15 minutes, but seemed
like SEVERAL hours) was revealing of the wondrous woman of steel (Superman
move over) who kept us breathing and laughing to avoid injuring ourselves in
the mad panic of fear that sets in when you MUST get OUT and you cannot.
Clearly our circumstances were not our problem. While in “Heaven,” do a few
cartwheels for me, my dear, as I know we both would enjoy
them.</span></font></p>
