Good Morning.

Pearl Harbor Day. We still have a neighbor of ours, Will Lehner, who was aboard the USS Ward on that fateful morning. He watched the ship sink a midget Jap sub that was trying to sneak into Pearl.

He's doing fine, and still meets with a few of his shipmates once a month for coffee and stories in Minneapolis.

Good Morning NY. I remember Pearl Harbor. Living in Alaska the news came through and said Dutch Harbor. Don’t you know our tiny town of Craig was in an unroar for awhile. Our government did evacuate the Aleuts from the Aleution Islands to Ketchikan. I can imagine they were pretty miserable. I remember riding by their “encampment”, but I never saw anyone. That’s what I remember, as a child, of Pearl Harbor.
