I’ve been kinda laid up due to my back surgery. So I got out some old memories. Photos from Okinawa, Hawaii, came across a photo of my Nobler build at Torri Station. Never got to fly it, but sold it in Hawaii. Pearl Harbor had a great flying circle on Ford Island. And that’s where I sold that Green Box Nobler. I also brought my Flying Fool that day and had a few photos of that fun day. Really brought a tear in my eye. Seeing my past and wondering what happened to the guys I would see once a month on Sunday Afternoon. My Step Mom Hilda was at Pearl Harbor when that day December 7th 1941. Along with my older step sister Helen. And a step Brother Kenneth, he died in 1939 of Diptheria and was buried at Punch bowl. Cleaned his brass plate in 1971. And visited his grave again in 1994. I was flying for Emery and on the Pell air Contract. His grave marker was beautiful and polished. In fact all the markers had been cleaned and restored. Lots of kids died that year during the Diptheria hit the Island. Hey guys take care and keep them lines Straight and Tight! AJ
