Seoul City Airport, South Korea, Dec. 26, 1960: Col. and Mrs. Fred Ruff have a busy Christmas, giving toys and serving refreshments at their home to 50 children from the Sung Nam Orphanage near Seoul. The youngsters had Christmas dinner at the Seoul City Airport mess hall.

The Ruffs were one of many American families who invited Korean orphans to share Christmas with them. Stockings hang from a line above Korean children sitting at a table as Col.
