HELP<br />
I was in the <strong>Philippine</strong>s April 1-14 with<br />
the Battling Bastards of Bataan. While<br />
there, a Filipino woman talked to me<br />
about a father-in-law she has lost contact<br />
with and asked me to help. He is Manual<br />
S. Tuazon. He is too young to have been a<br />
<strong>Philippine</strong> Scout or in World War II (born<br />
in 1947) but she thinks he was either in<br />
the service or was a civilian employee of<br />
the US military. Mr. Tuazon is 55 and was<br />
born in Ormoc City, Leyte. Please contact<br />
Mrs. Eny Chua Tuazon at 332-C Gen.<br />
Vincente Lim St., San Juan, Metro<br />
Manila, the <strong>Philippine</strong>s. Her e-mail<br />
address is yme168<strong>2002</strong>@yahoo.com.<br />
