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><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The game you are talking about is actually a Philippine folk dance called <i>Tinikling</i>.

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.

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.
