while military, United Nations, and Korean dignitaries stood at the
pier to welcome the cargo.
Dr. H. D. Appenzeller, Church World Service director,
immediately turned over the relief shipment to Ham Tae Young, vice

symbolizes the friendship felt by the citizens of Houston for the
people of Korea and we will long remember this great act of friendship."
