Airmen create Boys Town style haven for orphans in Osan
Dorothy Irvine recalls how Airmen Linford Jones and Norvell MacPherson, then stationed in Korea, funded and organized a plan to shelter and feed Korean street orphans near Osan. They rented rooms, secured support, and proposed building a self-contained boys town, inspiring local and U.S. goodwill despite limited resources. The effort drew praise from the American-Korean Foundation and showcased the chefs d’ oeuvres of American servicemen.
