On 27 September 2008 the 6th Medical Depot (all years) held its
annual reunion in Denver, CO. Eighteen people, including members
and their wives and children, attended.
Among the attendees were Mr. & Mrs. Kim, daughters Sung and
Jinny, and Jinny’s daughter Rachel—all natives of South Korea.
Mr. Kim was a civilian assistant to Sgt Ed Johnson, who helped
Kim’s family survive during the war years. After the war, Ed kept in
touch with them. Eventually, he helped them move to their new
home in Los Angeles.
Their attendance, which was a complete surprise, added another
dimension to our reunion.
The three-day gathering included reminiscing and touring the
area. We visited the Coors Brewery, the Arts and Sciences Museum,
and Pres. Eisenhower’s Medical Center.
Our next reunion is planned for Louisville sometime in
September. Our previous reunions were held in Myrtle Beach, SC,
Louisville, KY, Appleton, WI, Mitchell, SD, and Orlando, FL.
