Please let us know if you recognise anyone in them or even yourself? Do you have any other information about the orphanage itself? It would be great to share experiences. Please also feel free to contact Anne McCrudden, the owner of the photos (they're in my albums for convenience). http://www.facebook.com/al http://www.facebook.com/al __________________ Dorothee Calvert wrote Aug 2009: As you know, when we read Rosemary Taylor 's book and the one of Susan McDonald, To Am Nursery was the first orphanage created by Rosemary Taylor after 17 months later she arrived in Vietnam (february 1967). To Am (= warm nest) had 3 adresses from its creation (august 1698) to the end (1975). August 1968 to october 1969 : located in Phu Nuam Alley / district October 1969 to july 1970 : Nhat Linh Site / Gia Dinh July 1970 to april 1975 : 64a Doan Thi Thiem Street (most of us came from the last and many photos were taken here). So I'm in touch with a former australian soldier (Owen Cook) from the 110 th Signal Squadron who served in Saigon from january 1969 to jannuary 1970 and visited and helped my orphanage - the first nursery). He knowed and meet Rosa Tintore and Rosemary Taylor too. Please click on the web link to see photos of Owen he took from march 1969 to july 1969 before going to Vung Tau for the last of his tour. http://picasaweb. google.com/ xemoth/110SigSqn #536082850043769 7906 Photos from 30 to 49 concerning Terre des Hommes orphanages, Rosa Tintore. I sent to him some scanned pictures from the book of Rosemary Taylor, don't be surprised. It is very important because it was the first time that somebody took photos of this earlier period. I was not in the orphanage because I left Saigon at the end of january 1969 (he did'nt have camera when he arrived in Vietnam, he bouhgt one in march 1969) but sure it 's mine second orphanage afeter Sacred Heart in Danang. Dorothee ______________________________________ Motherland Tours The itinerary of these tours can include visits to former nurseries (New Haven, Hy Vong, To Am, Phu My) For more info visit: http://www.motherlandtour.com/ ______________________________________ General: My Huong Le, an Australian VN adoptee living in Vung Tau and overseeing several schools and orphanages, is interested in compiling signatures of support for a TV announcement directed at birth mothers to raise awareness about searching adoptees.
