Just as the Daejon newspaper was charmed, so too was the local newspaper, the Times Herald Record. This is a clipping is from December 1967. And, yes, my mother would soon go on to change her American nickname from Tony to Vickie.

Mom didn't know how to drive a car before coming to America. I think this was probably Dad's version of training wheels.
Here she is about a year after arriving in Liberty, NY with her new in-laws~ my great-grandmother, grandparents, aunts, uncles and two of my cousins.
37 years later, it's hard to imagine a time when Mom didn't know how to drive a car, cook a Thanksgiving turkey, make chicken noodle soup or scoop an ice cream cone and dip it in rainbow sprinkles.
