Return to Santo Tomas

Recently I returned with 64 others from “Jack Chapman’s Sentimental Journey to the Philippines,” notice of which appeared in your Briefs column several months ago. I was born there, brought up in Manila, married, had two children and spent 37 months in a Japanese internment camp.

Jack, in connection with Bur-Cal Travel in Burbank, planned a wonderful tour. Laughter and tears accompanied us as we visited the University of Santo Tomas where we spent those 37 months; the beautiful military cemetery.
