Sungnam Orphanage, 1960

RUFF (LEFT) AND CHAPLAIN BIGGS PAINT WINDOW FRAMES: Orphans Sit Inside Watch Progress of Building Program. Lt. Col. Fred J. Ruff and Chaplain (Maj.) William H. Briggs paint the window frames of the Sungnam Orphanage in Seoul. Lt. Col. Ruff, his wife Mrs. Annie D. Ruff and the men from the 6146th Air Force Advisory Group have been working to build a permanent home for 77 children of the Sungnam Orphanage, located south of the Han River bridge. The building is rapidly taking shape thanks to the twice-weekly visits of the Americans as officers, wives and enlisted men have contributed to the project by hefting brushes and hammers.
