LEE BRADFORD (BRAD) SUMRALL
Mrs. James Sumrall and her
two sons, Lee Bradford (Brad)
and James Barry (Barry) arrived
in Okinawa by jet in August.
Since there wasn’t a house ava-
ilable on the army post. Lt. Ja-
mes Sumrall rented his family a
house off post in a village cal-
led Orokee. All were glad to
be together again in any house.
They were hardly settled in
their new home when it was
time for Master Brad, the older
brother--age 5 1/2—to start to
kindergarten. He was schedul-
ed for morning kindergarten;
the first day, his mother, two
year old brother and he waited
out front for the school bus.
When no bus came along, a ne-
ighbor drove them to Brad’s
schooL
Imagine a whole kindergar-
ten consisting of ten quonset
huts with a nice playground in
the middle. There are 1300
American kindergarten children
in Okinawa, and all are in five
kindergartens. Brad’s school is
in a one room quonset hut on
the Air Base just a block away
from the flight line where a
little boy can watch jets and
other aircraft take off and land.
They are fighters and troop car-
riers for Viet Nam.
His first dav at school ended
in a trip home in an Air Force
police car! Because the Sum-
rall house is farily new, it was
not marked on the map for
school buses. After his mother
and little brother left Brad at
the school, they went on home
His mother watched for the bus
bringing Brad home to be sure
the driver saw where to stop.
When it did not come, she got a
call through to Brad’s father.
Brad was located at the bus
station after he had ridden the
whole school route. He was
smart enough not to get off at a
strange stop even on the insis-
tence of the "bus mother. " His
mother and little brother had to
take a taxi after him, but they
were driven home in the Air
Force police car. Brad was a
scared, hungry, upset little boy
who finally got home at 2:30
p. m. after being let out at
noon.
Now he goes to school in the
afternoon, and a buss faithfully
picks him up and lets him off.
Such is the school life of a ser-
viceman's child in Okinawa.
Brad has a Sunday School life
too. He goes to an overall fro-
testant Sunday School on the
Air Base. Sunday School is
held at the same time his par-
ents are in church. A nursery
is provided for little brother,
Barry. Brad is enjoying both
his school and Sunday School.
Brad’s and Barry’s paternal
grandparents are Mr. and Mrs.
Lee Sumrall of Village Mills;
their maternal grandparents are
Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Tuck of
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.
