Many of these scattered graves are by now probably forgotten and rarely, if ever visited. To have left them in place as monuments for the future seems preferable to me.

He was four years old. Seven of the children could not be identified because their bodies were so badly burned. My uncle was one of the seven that could not be identified. My Aunt was also in the school at the time of the crash but she was able to escape. My Mother told me that my Grandmother was so distraught because she didn’t know which casket held her baby. She didn’t know which casket to look at during the mass funeral. She never got over this terrible tragedy. God bless all of their souls.

In the basement there were tunnels that go through the city it was blocked off but in the Maintenance office a wall was down and further back was a tunnel looked like caves.I could hear the people above the cars driving over my head. I loved exploring down there. On the balcony in front where the two lions sit above is the square empty space where the missing statue use to sit.. It was awesome to watch the Circus Parade from up there. To watch the fire works we sit up on the roof. Gemaina had many different offices and many business work in there it had a Army recruiting office. I miss going there I was a little kid adventuring the building while my Older brother worked there he was the maintenance man. Best time to explore was after hours and empty boy that basement got creepy. The it had an elevator you had to control yourself it was a freight elevator. You had to pull a lever or push it to go up or down that was the only elevator to get to the basement and rooftops. Some of the floors were super secure.It is a shame that the statue still missing.

She died a few months ago at 101 years of age and published a book a few years prior. It is about her life in China and their trips home on furlough. Their neighbors at one point were Madam and Chaing Kai Sheck.
