Obituary Sketch Casts Kate Webb as Brave Waif
A colleague penned an April obituary describing Kate Webb as a brave waif who walked Saigon in a striped dress and sandals. She wore fatigues on field trips, endured mortar and rocket fire, helicopter landings, and shrapnel danger, remaining determined despite being shaken. Webb, 28, a Christchurch native, was educated in Australia and joined UPI in 1967, rising to Phnom Penh bureau manager last October after Frank Frosch’s Viet Cong ambush death.
