Visiting Palau's Villages, WWII Remains and Natural Sites (1968)

- The Palau islands are long and skinny with a lot of inlets and good harbour areas with a surrounding barrier reef that provides protection to boats. Koror where we stayed is a busy commercial and entertainment area. We were shown the Koror area by a nun, Sister Robert Marie, seeing a crocodile at the Entomology Lab. We still have the storyboard Bernardino made for us. We took a boat dropping off new PCVs on Babeldaob at villages only accessible by water and spent part of a day in the village of Ngeremlengui. Another day we took a boat to Peleliu and saw WWII sites in one of the two vehicles there. It was a big help to have Tom, from the American Embassy in Japan, touring with us and able to talk with everyone in Japanese. Mostly, only the children spoke English. On the final boat trip, we enjoyed a Labor Day beach picnic. Girl with long dark hair on boat at 6:07 is Pat Ngirous Slate.

Thank you!
Beautiful country.
Greetings from Kefamenanu City-Timor Island-Indonesia.
Thank you, Thank you for sharing all of these . 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️❤❤❤
Soooo cool! I grew up in Ngeremlengui. I recognized the lady waving from the taro patch. I also recognized my grandmother's house.
My family sponsored one of the PC Volunteers when I was growing up. I believe her furst name was Norma.
Thank you for sharing. So wonderful to see my old home.
Thank you so much for sharing that you recognized people and places from growing up in Ngeremlengui. If you want to share their names, I will add this information to the photo inventory on the website. I am collecting comments from families that hosted PCVs. If you want to share any stories about sponsoring Norma, please send to me at kpvcollection@gmail.com. Do you still live in Palau?
In 1968 Palau Islands was still under the Trust Territory of the Pacific island. I was in grade school then, this picture is Ngeremlengui village.
Thanks for sharing
You have brought a smile to my face, Dale. Thank you so much for letting me know that you are the beautiful 12-year-old girl we shared the boat to Peleliu with. Appreciate your thank you. I worry about people's privacy, but each photo may be precious to someone and it seems better to share than to have them lost forever. Your words are encouraging and I have just posted a story from 1967 in Truk/Chuuk.
I used my Husband's cellphone and my name is Pat Ngiruos Slate..❤❤
@@patslate3999 RJ Jonathan has asked if I know the name of the woman with tattoos on her arms. Was she with you on the boat? Do you know her name?
Hi. The Xmas video that turned off the comment section; i grew up with some of the kids in the slide show. I'm guessing this Xmas celebration was held either on Navy Hill or Capitol Hill. I see Lynn Propst if I'm not mistaken with her name. Also; i see Mrs. Haberman and Lucy Ada. Your slide show brought back old childhood memories for me. That Xmas song sung in Chamorro too. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Thank you for letting me know about the comment section problem. It is fixed now. Will respond to you on the Christmas UA-cam.
Se Ngais 😃😍
