This is actually a pretty well done segment by this CBS affiliate. I didn't know about this place. It's a shame its under an overpass.

There probably isn’t a Kimmel House. (Admiral, not Jimmy.)

My grandfather met Admiral Nimitz in Honolulu during the war.
One of these days I want to get around to writing a book based on the daily diaries he kept from 13 years old to 94 years old. His uncle also worked for Ronald Reagan.

My grandpa served with Nimitz on the AO-2 US Maumee in WWI. Nimitz was a young Lieutenant. They conducted the first underway refuelings for ships underway.
It was a secret that no other navy knew how to do.

I have his records. Grandpa joined at the pier and sailed away with he ship. No boot camp.
