WITH ALL MY LOVE

by Penny DeFore ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 31, 1965

When Penny DeFore's dad, Don, was working in the film Battle Hymn, the Dean Hess story, Penny first met Mrs. Cho and the Korean orphans she sheltered. At seventeen, Penny decided to repay their visit with one of her own. She felt that ""waiting was for people who didn't know what they wanted,"" and she knew she wanted to help those children. Once in Korea, Penny found that Mrs. Cho was happy to have a film star's daughter on hand for publicity and fund-raising purposes, but hostile to her attempts at dealing directly with the children. When she found she could be of no further help, she went to work in the Post Polio Clinic in Seoul. A young American soldier, Posey Jordan, and a dedicated young Korean, Kisu, provided other interests and further opportunity to teach and learn. She did not go home before little Son Hi, her clinic patient, took her first steps... toward her. Penny is both conscientious and candid, and her determined goodness need not deter her most likely audience--her own peers.
