My father, William E. Fresch "Bill", was in Korea from 1950 until the end of the conflict. He was with the 89th regiment, 353rd division, and was part of the message center.
During his time there, he met a Korean boy who called himself "Mr Sim". My father taught him a lot of english, and he would say to my father "Mr Bill, teach Sim english". They became fast friends, and were instrumental in helping children find shelter in orphanages. He can't remember where he first met Mr Sim, but they knew each other throughout the Korean conflict.
My father is now 85 years old, and recently found a letter from Mr Sim. He would love to contact him, but we can't determine exactly where Mr Sim was from.
He signed his letter Sim of Goo (we think, but we can't make out if the letter is a "G" or not).
If there is any help you can be, please let us know.
If more information would be helpful, we will be happy to provide it - we would love to find Mr Sim and get our dad back in touch with him.
Thank you,
Jo (Fresch) Rinehart
