Good Morning. Hope this finds you all up and about.

As mentioned in an earlier post my family and I had the opportunity to travel while we were on Guam. One of the places we went was Korea - a shoppers paradise in the early 80's. While in Seoul we happened upon a street vendor selling rides to the kids. My youngest son wanted his turn; so we obliged and this snapshot was taken (not very good quality unfortunately and better in B&W then the original color).

Can you tell which one is Ben?

Hola Don!
Well this is a real toughie! :<confused&g
You see, I don't know whether you adopted 4 Korean children do I? However, I shall take a wild guess, be bold and suggest that Ben might be the centre one? :idea: I apologise if I have made a mistake! Embarassed

Hasta la vista! Gillian

And if I were to tell you he is the one on the end....

(he's not)

Most Koreans in the 1980’s had not seen (in the flesh) blond kids. Ben was a novelty and received quit a bit of attention. American military members stationed in Korea (at least at that time) were on an unaccompanied tour (i.e., no families). The only American families were those visiting like us and most did not have small children with them.
