(last two names added by Gladys Hubbard Swift with information given by their daughters, Margaret Hayes Hollister and Esther Bickford Shackelford. Will be glad to add other information:- (GHS 1311 Branchlands Drive, Charlottesville, VA 22901-1753).

 

** Margaret Hayes Hollister informed me that her father John Hayes, was the butcher at Weihsien and her grandfather, Watson Hayes, died there. Watson was diabetic and John did steal meat for him. Also Watson Hayes had been stationed in that area of Shantung so the farmers knew him. The fresh eggs were particularly needed for diabetic Watson and he was instrumental in getting them (p. 36). Note from GHS – Ed

 

GLADYS HUBBARD SWIFT '40 - At the request of many friends I have sent copies of this "Suggested Key to People Interned in Weihsien and mentioned in Shantung Compound by Langdon Gilkey". For those of you who have not seen the list, like those below, here is the list made by my father, Hugh Hubbard...

 

WELLINGTON Z. MYERS '38 (2-19-96) - I called Joyce Ditmanson [PAS Faculty] to get her maiden name, which is Stranks. She stated that her father was with the Salvation Army (Australian) and was quite friendly with your father [Hugh Hubbard]... Marcy (Ditmanson PAS '36] does not believe their names were in "Shantung Compound" [No, but see 5th line Shantung Compound Key prepared by Hugh Hubbard. I was at Yenching, class of 1944, with Joyce's brother, Gordon Stranks, in 1940-41 - GHS Ed]

 

JAMES ROBINSON '37 (2-17-96) - Herewith ... the following ... a connection to some of us -- failure of memory and recognition -- is conceivable. Recently in an airport a man looked familiar, and the longer I looked the more familiar, though he showed total lack of recognition as he returned my gaze. Finally I took the plunge and said "are you a twin?" You should have seen his jaw drop, for he was indeed a former patient who did have a brother that was a very identical twin. After establishing identities, I reminded him of an episode when he was hospitalized under my care. His brother came to visit him one day. A nurse saw him walking down the hall, pointed and shouted, "What are you doing with your clothes on?”
