I drove around a lot today and listened to a couple different talk radio stations. Zero mention of Pearl Harbor Day ....... Everybody was talking about Mit Romney's speach. (on the Texas stations anyway) :idontno:

My little sister was born in Trippler Hospital in Pearl, an then she died of ovarian cancer on Pearl Harbour Day. Today was a good day we went to Grayton threw sunflowers into the gulf with the whole family to remember her. Those who know my daughter will understand why I named her after my sister. Maholo!!!!!

I remember the stories about Pearl Harbor from a retired Navy Commander who was the headmaster at the private school that I attended. He was there when it happened. He said he was asleep, heard the noise, walked on the deck of the ship and saw all of the chaos. What I remember the most is that he said he was wearing silk pajamas at the time.

Also Pearl Harbor reminds me that the next day is the anniversary of when John Lennon was killed, 12/8/80.:(

This is an awesome experience. We all wondered what the Japenese tourists were thinking during the tour.

greenroomsurfer...what an incredible story.
