This would tie in with Sandy's comments of the kindergarten classes (where her mom was a teacher) being near the Palace. Bob Paul – Thank you for the information.

It was in a temporary building across the road from the housing that was also located there. I believe my sister Martha may have been there 62-63.

The kindergarten wasn't near or in the ACS. It was located in a building near the Palace. I don't know the name of it or even what building it was and unfortunately Ruby Nell Hanna's memory is challenged these days with dementia. We have some photos that I'll try to locate and maybe someone will recognize it. When the Palace was being bombed and we had all been sent home from the ACS, my sister, brother and I ran to the roof garden on house on Phan Than Guan and watched what looked like birds dropping bombs. We knew our mother was right there and it was a frightening thing. We later learned that she had been stuck in traffic and never made it to the school.
