Family From Page A1 We started buying gifts a long time ago, during trips to laces like Belgium and uxembourg, he said. We had everything mailed before Thanksgiving.

Well probably be having a couple of our single friends over for Christmas dinner. The American community here is Qfoot Clirislmas fS? We New 2305 Ttmoaraflur macata ovamiqnt louforcasi (about a quarter-mile) for refreshments.

Each would carry an item, a bottle of Coke, a tall glass tumbler with the everpresent blotch of green paint on the bottom (superstition, I think), and some ice covered with rice husks insulation, of course. For their trouble we would give them each a few coins, and soon the errand squad grew to a small crowd. They each expected a tip of course, just for going along I guess. Now it was Christmas Eve, so the American military advisers assigned to this camp held a little celebration for the soldiers and village people. One of the more portly corporals donned a Santa suit (where they got it I have no ideal).

He boarded a small bubble type helicopter and rapnic threw candy out to the kids as the chopper hovered over the compound. Later he entered on foot and greeted the kids with some small presents. As they gathered around the paper mache creche, some the kids we knew brought a little old lady to see me. Acting as interpreters for her, they explained that she wanted to personally thank me. "Thank me for what?" I asked.

"For giving the kids the money, they said and then went on to explain that she had been sending her children to the village school with the money we had been giving them. Imagine that! Some of these kids had been receiving an education from my POCKET Christmas Spirit? Yes, it was Christmas, indeed! Memory From Page A1 we set up our special radio equipment on the edge of a helipad each day, curious children from the village would come out to see us. They were always looking for a handout, or to steal something when our back was turned. 1 lost a watch and radio for sure. As they gathered around us each day we made friends with them and with hand motions and conversation (they could speak a lot more English than we Vietnamese), we got to know them quite well.

Soon we put them to work filling sandbags for us or sending them down to the village Happy Holidays! wish you all the happiness this holy season has to give peace and joy.
