Topic A Walk Through Time: 1960's Korea in Pictures
SpeakerKathryn McNeil (Jeonnam Foreign Language High School)
A slide show of 1966 Korea from the eyes of a young Army Corp. of Engineers worker. The speaker’s older
brother was drafted into the military right out of high school. Because he had experience climbing electric
poles and stringing electrical wire, he was assigned to work with the reconstruction efforts in Korea rather
than being a foot-soldier in Vietnam. While in Korea, Gary, speaker’s brother, purchased a Nikon camera
and a foot locker full of color film and took hundreds of pictures of this exotic country. Years later, having
been introduced to Korea through his pictures, she was able to come to Korea as an English teacher,
bringing her brother's slides with her. It is her honor to share this photo journal with the people who have lived
through the Miracle of the Han and their descendants.
