This brings back so many memories. At the very time these letters were written, I was writing the same kinds of letters, also working with my Congressman, trying to get my former library employees out. Miraculously some of my letters did get to Saigon, and with them, one lady, Miss Lee from the Cam Ranh library and her brother, were able to get onto Tan Son Nhut AB and on one of the last helicopters out. Her sister was already in the States. Their kids had come out on Betty Tisdale’s An Loc orphanage flight. I still remember the early morning collect call from Guam letting me know they had made it. I still don’t know what happened to Miss Duc and her family. She worked at the Camp McDermott library in Nha Trang . Black April.
Oh, Ann, I'm so glad that you were able to find out that Miss Lee and her brother and children made it. The hole left by those like Miss Duc is forever difficult to bear. Thank you for sharing your stories and experiences. <3
