A number of years ago the son, then only 14 years old, went back to Greece to take care of his aged grandfather.

The war came along and he not only could not return, but he could neither get word to his parents nor they to him until recently when the Red Cross broke down the barriers. It is understood that the young man wrote Mr. and Mrs. Lambros, explaining how things have been and enclosed a picture of bimself. It brought the couple much joy to learn that he was alive and well.
