Would love to have a copy and share it with Ginger Hansen Holmes, who, as I mentioned, was born in Mindanao. Her mom was a gorgeous Mestiza. Ginger (Virginia) was about 3 or 4 years old when the Japanese invaded the Philippines. She lives nearby and we are both life members (and I am former president) of the Association of Philippine American Women (APAW), founded in 1947 by Mrs. Romulo (wife of the first Ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines to the U.S.) and her friend Trini Legarda. Ginger’s husband, Kent, is in the process of completing a book about my uncle, Wendell Fertig, who led the guerrillas on Mindanao. I know they’d love to see your grandfather’s book—it would likely give Kent some details about Mindanao in WWII that he doesn’t have, despite all his research.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Papyrus;color:#4F81BD'>Susan<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it.

(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.

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.
