    67 Years ago. . . .

    On a Sunday evening I was gathered with my siblings around the family radio, listening the The Jack Benny Show. A voice interrupted to announce that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor. 54 years ago I stood on a small platform above the USS Arizona while a friend who had been in the tower...

    Sack Lunches

    My #2 daughter is a Medical Officer in the Navy Reserve.
