1962 Christmas recording of the Phillips and Walkies

from Christmas Tapes · host Penny Shelton

Christmas, 1962, the first year my family was in Thailand as missionaries. It cost fifty cents to send the tape to Thailand via airmail.  When my husband got a reel-to-reel recorder recently, I remembered that I had four audio tapes that were given to me by my father many years ago. I hadn't had a way to hear the tapes, which sat untouched and nearly forgetting in a cedar chest for about 20 years or so. I have been deeply moved and blessed to hear my grandparents, Ollie and Violet Phillips voices along with the GR Phillips family, the Walkies, and some of the Cummins family, on Christmas tapes made and sent to my family on four different Christmas holiday gatherings during our years in Thailand (1962-67). It's very precious to have these reel-to-reel tapes.
