Ziemer Hall

Roger Ek, Seawolf 25
We belong to the CMA Church in town in far northern Maine. CMA is Christian and Missionary Alliance. Today we had a missionary couple visit who are posted to Cambodia. They have been in Cambodia for over 20 years. We have a map of Cambodia on the wall of our church. I mentioned that I had been in Cambodia and used to escort ships up river to Phnom Penh and various other missions up there.

I told them about the Ziemer family up at Ban Me Thuot, about the VC attack and what had happened to Tim Ziemer's parents. I told them about Tim and that he had flown with the Seawolves. Rev. & Mrs. Williams knew the story about the Ziemer family except the part about Tim.

The missionaries have three adult children, two daughters and a son. The son is youngest and has graduated from high school. He is attending college at the CMA MIssionary College in Malaysia and is living in Ziemer Hall, named for Tim Ziemer's parents.

Could have knocked me over with a feather. Up here in the woods of Maine, a missionary serving in Cambodia runs into a Seawolf and we both know about the Ziemer family. Hey, you can't make this stuff up.
