To this day, the family home at 819 Otto street here is referred to as "Grand Central Station." At the suggestion that elght children might be regarded as a rather large missionary brood, Mrs. Lampe chortles and recalls two families with whom they used to vacation at a Korean summer resort.

For some time, each of the three families had seven chil dren until the year the local-ites turned up with a new baby, their eighth. The children of the other two families were plenty miffed because the Lampes had "gotten ahead!"
