Stars and Stripes, 14 December 1953
FIFTH AIR FORCE, KOREA --- Lee Dia Koon smiles
at his foster father, S/Sgt. William Freer of Toledo, Ohio, at
the U.S. Air Force 51st Fighter Interceptor Wing base
in Korea. Lee Dia Koon, called "Tony", was adopted as a mascot
by Sergeant Freer's squadron. Then the sergeant's mother, who
saw a picture of the boy, decided to adopt Tony and bring him
to the United States. Tony can recite the English alphabet, count
to 100 and type in a "hunt and peck" fashion.
