John Nowell has lived in Korea since 1965 and has been a first-hand witness to the economic and political transformation of South Korea from a poor backwater to global powerhouse. He has worked for the U.S. Army, the Ambassador Hotel, and even Lowry’s Steakhouse for a time. At 77 years old he now heads the Oriental Press at the Dragon Hill Lodge inside Yongsan Garrison. This episode is a joint collaboration between Settlers of Seoul and Yongsan Legacy Project, an organization dedicated to capturing the historical and cultural legacy of Yongsan Garrison and archive historical facts, stories, and memories of the site.
