Comments: I remember the bank safe standing out among all the rubble that once was Kumwha. I also remember Chorwon Valley. The Bob Hope show at Kumwha was a real classic. Midnight Mass on Christmas eve in a tent was the most gratifying religious experience of my life and I wish I could personally thank the Chaplain for risking his neck to be there.
