Almost always orphaned young boys who would tag along and do things like shine shoes, and soak up GI culture and language. My uncle who was with the Engineers and stayed in Okinawa with the Army Engineer District to rebuild the island eventually -- along with his wife who came over to Okinawa in 1950, adopted two such children. They both grew up to be straight up American citizens. The boy, Jerry Louis Jennings, retired from the US Army in the 1980's and passed away from some type of fast moving cancer in 1991. Martha, the girl, married a GI who she met when she was a senior at Kubasaki High School in Okinawa, and they lived happily ever after, also. My aunt and uncle are buried in the foreigner's cemetery in Naha, Okinawa. Cheers, Dave
