I was one of the 8000 White Russian refugees on Tobabao in 1949. I was only a small child & my recollections are good. As a kid I had a wonderful time swimming in the warm waters & going to Russian Scouts every morning for flag parade. On Sundays there was a huge scout campfire. For us young ones life was great but not so wonderful for my mother & other adults who ebdured the heat, humidity, fevers & living in a hot army tent.Facilities were almost nil.Anyway fond memories.
