Volumes VI and VII cover 1962 - 1969.
In this episode, Roselyn recounts her adventures from her time in New Guinea as "the missionary's wife".
From a man being killed by a cassowary and then Roselyn keeping one as a pet, to another man being eaten by a crocodile in a body of water next to the hospital she was giving birth in! She also was the air-traffic controller for the highest landing strip in the world, guiding light aircraft down to land by sight only! She lost many pilot friends to crashes and mishaps during her time there, and in fact narrowly missed an untimely end in an airplane ( and other ways ) multiple times.
Ian continues his interview of his rather amazing Mom, Roselyn in, "It Was a Wonderful Life: The Autobiography of Roselyn Mesplay In Her Own Words", Volumes VI and VII.
