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.</font></blockquote>

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.</font></blockquote>

reminding me where I first met Ellery and Tony, is was in the San
Francisco House! I drove up there almost weekly for meetings of
various kinds. 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!)</font></div>
