Mrs. Esther Termine was not the only
person anxiously waiting for a
relative to arrive at the Dallas
Fort Worth airport tonight.
She was probably the only one who
had never met the relatives she
waited for.
Mrs. Shaman's only son was killed
in World War Two.
But after he left home and before
he went to the battlefield, he was
married in Australia.
He never saw the sun his new wife
had. And until tonight,
neither did Mrs. Terman.
Her 31 year old grandson brought a
special present from Australia for
his grandmother, a nine month old
great grandson.
The meeting required a round of
introductions between close and
distant relatives for both Mrs.
Terman in her grandson, Peter, this
will be a very special Christmas
holiday.
Yeah, it's just wonderful to have
him here. I didn't know whether I'd
ever get to see him or not
get to meet a lot of people asking
to him, we have such
a big family.
Mrs Tharman says she has a Christmas
tree presents and some home cooked
meals ready for her newfound family.
They will have three weeks to catch
up on 31 years before the visitors
return to Australia.
