To the audience at Colby's sesquicentennial he stressed, "If Colby's long history teaches anything at all, it tells future trustees and administrators that progress comes only through willingness to face change."

The small boat floated at sea for the Good Life eleven days before Van and his companions were rescued by an Italian ship. After spending eight months in Italy, he came to the United States in An alumna encounters complex 1980.

This 16-year-old was '59 by Carolyn Crain considered kind of "crazy." He had no formal schooling before leaving home and was, therefore, illiterate in his native tongue. In Hong Kong, while living at the refugee camp, he worked in a plastic factory for about ten months until October 1980. He disembarked from Northwest flight number 8 at Sea-Tac Airport with a smile on his face.

• Kim Trinh, an ethnic Chinese girl, left Saigon with her brother, Buu, traveled to Indonesia, and lived in camps for three months. The two arrived in Seat­ tle in November 1979 with the first group of unac­ companied minors assisted by the area's Catholic Community Services. Within a few days, Buu became quite ill with malaria and was hospitalized for a week. It was several more weeks before he totally regained his strength. Kim and Buu, along with one other Vietnamese boy, were placed with a rural foster family who have an adopted Korean daughter .

• Tam Nguyen and his twin sister were born to very young Vietnamese parents. After the death of the baby girl, the parents asked a neighboring family of fishermen to adopt Tam, and an informal agree­ ment was made. Tam grew up thinking that his adoptive parents were his natural ones and that his biological parents were only neighbors. In 1980, when Tam was fourteen and his "brother," Thao, seven, the family planned to escape in their boat. For weeks they stored away the supplies needed to leave their country. As it grew dark on the ap­ pointed night, strangers suddenly appeared, threatening the family with guns and forcing everyone except Tam and Thao to leave the boat. Telling the boys at gunpoint to shut up or be thrown into the water, they put to sea. After three days, when supplies were gone, a passing Danish ship sent a raft of food and water to the small boat. That food was quickly eaten, and seven oc­ cupants of the boat died during the three additional weeks that preceded the rescue. A U.S. Navy helicopter took the survivors to Subic Bay, Philip­ pines, and thence to Palawaan Camp. Tam and Thao arrived at Sea-Tac Airport on Halloween night in 1980.

16 and, whenever possible, to reunite families. This dual responsibility creates an area of potential conflict with foster parents. Most American families are so anxious to help their new children adapt that they may be overzealous in restricting some expressions of the old culture. In one unsuccessful placement, the foster father refused to allow Vietnamese to be spoken any­ where inside the house! Most parents allow kids to speak their native language when they are in their own rooms with Vietnamese friends or foster siblings. Some have successfully used five- or ten-cent fines when Vietnamese was inadvertently spoken in front of the family. In one household money thus collected is used to buy a family treat.

Laughter and tears often punctuate the day-to-day adaptation process for both parents and kids, not to mention caseworkers and interpreters.

The families who accept these foster children are as varied as the kids themselves. Single and married, laborers and professional people, some with children at home and some who have never had their own chil­ dren, each has unique expectations of a foster child. Many parents who welcomed the very first group of youngsters had visions of little ones being totally Yet another cultural distinction made it impossible for the dependent and soaking up the love and compassion Vietnamese children to be photographed candidly by the they so much wanted to give.

THE SINGING GAME WA RDEN ------··

Dan Crocker '8 2, most visible in the Colby community as a baritone in the Colby Eight and an actor with Powder and Wig, dropped out of sight after commencement only briefly before the Berkshire Eagle took interest in his appointment as a natural resources officer for the area surrounding Cracker's hometown of Pittsfield, Mass. The following is adapted from an Eagle feature that ran under the same title on November 27, 1982.

The question one wants to ask on meeting Daniel Thomas Crocker is: What's a pleasant young fellow like you doing in a game warden's job? As with many questions arising from a first meeting, it may be based on some mistaken assumptions about either the job or the person, or both. Crocker, 22, has just become the natural resources officer, or NRO, for one of four law enforcement districts in Berkshire County. His appointment is on an acting, or provi­ sional, basis. Final appointments are subject to Civil Service examination and placement. For the first six months, he will be on probation and will spend his early days in company with a veteran NRO in the region. As a student majoring in environmental studies for the past four years at Colby Col­ lege, Crocker recalled he didn't "envision becoming an enforcement officer," even in the fish and game field. The last time he went fishing, he said, was about 15 years ago. The At the opening night dinner for the Colby first time he handled a gun, he added, was this fall as a trainee at the commonwealth's 2000 Campaign, Dan Crocker '82 led guests in Police Officer Training Academy in Topsfield. "My hunting," he said with a smile, "has singing "Hail, Colby, Hail, " one of his many ap­ been with a camera. I'm a photography person." pearances on Colby stages.
