Here are our wonderful hosts in Kalimpong Mr. & Mrs. Norman Odling.
A friend in New York, Henrietta Merrick, had made an interesting trip
in the Himalayan country of Leh and Ladakh the year before and gave
us a letter to the Odlings. The letter went off to them and was followed
by a phone call asking us to stay with them in Kalimpong. Their suggestion
that they knew the Tibet problem was all the inducement we needed. Norman
had lost a leg in WWI and had come to Kalimpong to recuperate. His wife,
Bunty had been born there. Her father the reverend Dr. Graham had created
there “The St. Andrews Colonial Homes” to educate and train
Anglo-Indian children.
