[pianotech] Appointment on Ford Island. OT

[Carl]

A little upset that I can't find a way to get pic mentioned.

My wife and I were there 1984, and did the tour thing.  Also went to the punch bowl

cemetery while on tour, but came back next day with a rented car, so we could spend 

more time there. As luck would have it, as we dove in, there was a military funeral taking

place, with a bugler on the hill.  Most impressive.  We as Canadians lost many young guys 

in the war , and appreciate how well the americans remember their young men and women.

Would sure like to see the pic mentioned.

Thanks

 Carl / Winnipeg.

  Ditto to all of that...well except for uncle Frank.
  I have wondered where the Mighty Mo went after it left Bremerton, WA.

  Nice, Wim!  Ive both seen the Arizona there in the harbor, and also Mighty Mo when still "parked" in Washington state.  Cool machine that could launch a bomb that weighed about the same as VW bug 26 miles and hit the target 60 years ago!  I got to walk on the MO.  My uncle Frank was on the sister-ship Arizona in the engine room.




  It still gives me goosebumbs to see the top stacks of the Arizona and what happened that day..

  I had an appointment on Ford Island this afternoon. For those of who might not remember, it was along the shores of Ford Island where the Battleships were moored during the attack on Pearl Harbor. 

  When I got done with my appointment, I was only a few hundred feet from the water front, so I drove down to the Arizona Memorial.  Picture is from about 25 yards away. When I got back to my car, I had a great view of the Mighty Mo, the Missouri, which is docked only a few hundred yards from the Arizona. 

  One of the few perks of living in Hawaii. History just a few feet away. 

  Wim
