Ruth, I dozed off once or twice in the midst of taking attendance in my 5th grade class. They were just looking strangely at me . . . at least they were paying attention . . .

She was very good at it. 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. I feel privileged to have been acquainted with these two heroines. Jann McGuire Jann, thank you for 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!) I remember when Ellery and Tony came to Kemper, but I have no idea what year that was.
