Christmas By Demaris Berry Of The Southern Illinoisan
Mrs Elizabeth Betty Wright of Vergennes will celebrate Christmas twice this year with family in Mt Vernon and Hawaii where her husband Donnie serves in Vietnam. Wright, a staff sergeant stationed in Duc Poa, has been in Vietnam since June on air traffic control duty, and the couple has endured multiple separations since 1956. The family details the festive plans, hospital recoveries, and letters and recordings that keep them connected across locations.
