    Ah Bob, you give me hope. Thanks for the information and doing the research. Damn, it’s cold in Germany….Ken

    • Ken – interesting things turn up on the Internet sometimes – 🙂

      Cold in Germany – lol – It was *Minus 8* degrees here this morning (without the *wind chill factor*). God only knows how cold it was with the wind chill factor … cuz I don’t even want to know!!! – lol – traveling to tropical islands is sounding better and better each day …. LOL – 🙂

      UPDATE (Friday at the Mid-Night hour): I just sent an email to Fran (Friedman) Vrooman who appears to be Malcolmette’s older sister. I don’t know if she was ever in Viet-nam with the rest of the Friedman family, as she was attending college in California in 1959, according to one piece of information I came across. Will let you know what develops.

    It was 74 here today in Daytona Beach, Florida. Happy to be out of that minus chill factor. You don’t have to travel far to find that good weather Bob.

  • UPDATE: I received a reply back from Fran (Malcolmette’s older sister). She has been kind enough to contact her family members to see if any want to get in touch to re-connect with our Saigon Kids family. Most of her siblings are living on the west coast now. Fran is in GA.

    I’ll update this as things progress.

    Bob

    PS: Ken – FYI, you can thank Facebook for this *find* – 🙂

  • Kenneth R. Yeager

    I tried the phone number for Malcolm but it was a non-connect number….must admit I haven’t been too persistent lately in trying to track folks down. Seems like some just don’t want to be found. Ken

    • Ken – Thanks for attempting the phone call. I pulled that information from one of those *people finder* services – this is why I never pay those services for information, as most of the time it is *outdated*. I gave Fran all the contact information for Saigon Kids. She is passing it along to her brother and sisters, along with my invitation for them to re-connect with Saigon Kids. Fran mostly talks with Juliet who she gathers did not go to Saigon with the family. I just checked the Facebook account – no news yet – 🙁

      I hope your recovery is going well; and, that you and your wife are enjoying the holidays.

      Bob
