I sent an email a few days ago referencing the book you’re talking
about—Ellery had loaned it to me and I was wishing I had made a copy of it
before returning it to her, because it is not available from any source.
Jon, do you remember the name of it? The cover was black and red, and I
believe the title was something about betrayal. Jann, you’re right, they
did not get out right away. They were on the island of Mindanao, and my
parents were on the island of Panay, where I was born in ’44 after my mother
had been in hiding in the jungle for several years. I believe Ellery got
out by submarine on the USS Narwhal in ’43. We got out by submarine when
I was 3 months old the following year and then went back right after the war
(I grew up in the Philippines). Ellery might have known another girl from
Mindanao who has just written a book about her parents’ and her own WWII
experience, called <I>Guerrilla Daughter</I> (the author, Ginger Hanson
Holmes, is a close friend of mine; her dad and teen age brothers served in the
Mindanao guerrillas under my uncle, Wendell Fertig). <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

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? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

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><SPAN

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><SPAN
