I lived in Wellington Heights as well from 72-73 before we moved closer into town in Tianmu where we lived until 77. We climbed up Dog Head Mountain all the time. So many great memories of that. Including finding the Japanese tunnels from WW2 in the mountain. It was pretty creeping crawling through those in the dark.

Lived in Tienmu from 70-72. Had perfect view of Doghead from the corner of our front yard. My friend and I 'ran away from home' and parents caught us first night camping about half way up the mountain. Dad fell into an open grave inching our way back down the mountain after dark. Never seen him move as fast as he did jumping out of the hole. Never heard him make any other kind of noise as he made when he fell in either.

I lived in Wellington Heights from 1968-1971. Our house had a view of Dog-Head-Mountain from the Backyard. My Dad was with AID in Vietnam and my Mom Ruth and I lived in Taiwan. I am going back to visit over Christmas with my children. So excited to go back.

I have a photo of you from the Dominican Yearbook. Could scan it and email it to you if you like. Thamks, Loree Clary (Dellfous)

I tried to email you but it will not work. Do you have another email address? I have some photos of Eugene for you. Thanks, Loree

Lived in wellington heights 66 - 71, house 23 road 2, right by the police station. We had the only pink color house on the hill. Went to Dominican school 5th through 9th grade. wonderful place to grow up and we hiked up to and beyond Dog Head many, many times.

I (Tim Lilly) lived there (in Wellington Heights) from 1968 through 1972 with my mother (Catherine) and brother (Brian). My father (Tom Lilly) was the director of air operations for Air America in Military Region 2 (II Corps) in Nha Trang, Republic of South Vietnam under the faux auspices of the State Department's AID Program. I published a novel loosely based on his and my experiences there and in Taiwan www.outskirtspress.com/IICORPS I mentioned Dog Head in my novel and just for sh**s and giggles I just googled it to see what would come up and here you are! I recognize a few of the names of those who left comments.

From '67 to '70 I lived at 7 Yung Ming ,New Village just below the grave yard, Hiked up the mountain several times.

I lived in Tien Mou from 1955 - 1957 and started school in a house until we were able to go to Taipei American school. Very few American children lived there at that time. I have many good memories of Grass Mountain and Dog Head Mountain and the freedom to explore.

Many people in Taipei speak Fujian.

It was tien mou in the sixties when I lived there.

Mike Palumbo I lived in Tianmu and attended Dominican school 1970-'72 We lived on Road 7 house #4

Hello Loree, Just saw this post by accident and thought i would respond . I am Eugene Higginbotham's older brother (attended TAS from 1968 to 1970). I Regret to say and tell you that Eugene (genie to his family) died in a climbing accident back in 1981 , while stationed in yakohoma japan, as a member of the united states air force. I hope your memories of my baby brother are as rewarding and inspiring, as they are for me and genie's other family members. If additional information is needed or you have any other questions , feel free to contact me at higgy9@aol.com. Also if any of the other 'wild bunch' from the old days of wellington heights and teinmou in the late 60's and early 70's are out there, give me a shout. Ray S. Higginbotham (TAS, class of 70).

Lived at 80-33 yung ho li from 1971-1977. I wonder if our house is still there. Wonderful memories

Well, well. Lived on shipai Lou (rd) from 79 - 84. On the corner next to the Paraguay embassy. Used to skate down the hill going up to the graveyards. Climbed it many a time and remember the caves. What a fantastic times. TAS rocks. Would love to hear from anyone who was there. Xhangar18@sky.com. Later peeps

I love Taipei !

Lived in Tien Mou 70-71. Ran away from home and set up camp on Doghead. Mom and Dad crept up on us as we were frying up some steaks. Dad fell in a grave trying to hike down it in the dark. Never seen him move so fast and other than that instance, never heard him scream like a woman either. Don't know about now, but back then there were open graves ALL over the mountain when you got off the main trail. My initials may still be on that rock.

Swimming pools (游泳池): indoor pool + ourdoor 50m pool. Entrance price: NT$ 110 for adults, NT$ 90 for students.

Here are some others I remember from 1970. Andy Wilcox, Eugene Higgenbotham, Kraig and Kim Sprague, Steve Dermody, Jerry and Steven Shuck..... Loree Dellfous
