This begins by sharing some history of Schutz School
Notes from The Book of Our Lives
Ada Margaret Hutchison wrote:
As missionary kids we were once students …..…. My classmates were Rebecca McKnight, Willard Galloway, John Grice, Robb McLaughlin, and Ann Adair. …… Rumblings of war reached Egypt in 1938 and we were all fitted with gas masks. Often at night we would watch the searchlights fan across the sky trying to pinpoint a little plane in their beams. British warships regularly visited the harbor in Alexandria. Our family came home to Pennsylvania on furlough in 1939. Schutz moved to Assiut in 1940, a place less likely to be a bombing target than Alexandria.
In 1946 Dr. Grice at the Board of Foreign Missions in Philadelphia wrote to me that a new post-war Schutz was needed and that, as an alumna, I could serve to reopen the school ….. Thus in September of 1946 I started in a one-room school setting with Gordon and Isabel Parkinson to superintend.
(Ada Margaret is one of the few who was both student and staff of Schutz School)

She is very weak and will be there for physical therapy before going back home.
Send her a card or give a call. You may wish to put her home address in place of your return address so if she has been discharged it would be sent to her at home
