Dear Mr. Barrett:  Thank you for your help and research.  Dad has been moved to Jordan hospital in Plymouth.  He is currently in the critical care unit battling respiratory problems and pneumonia.  Dad right now has a tube in his throat to breathe, and is pretty sedated.  We are praying and hoping the doctors can bring him out of these tough situations, and bring him back to his old self.  He was moved from South Shore to Jordan on Thursday the 1st of February.  Dad is stable now, and I will be going to visit him.  The night he was moved to Jordan, I went up to visit at 11:30 p.m. an hour after he had arrived.  Although he was not cognizant of my presence, I did whisper in his ear to get better so we can go to the 517th reunion this June.  I hope he heard me.  Do you think it is appropriate for me to contact the Jackopsic family?  Before dad had this unfortunate accident, he spoke of hoping to reach him.  I can't thank you enough for everything - I am printing your mails and the mail call you sent for dad.  With respect and admiration,  Peter Jansson.

But I am attaching the 2 that I have found & you & Bob can add them to the list. Do you know of anyplace that I could search for the home towns of the troopers where they might have lived & graduated High School. Thanks LOU Darden P S when I looked again I had some #'s wrong & this is the only one I have found to date. LOU

Subject: : PEARL HARBOR photos found in an old Brownie stored in a footlocker


These are very interesting photos and hard to believe they were taken by a Brownie, some 60 odd years ago. The 13th picture is really interesting, taken as her magazines exploded. This was probably the Arizona. 
Interesting piece of our history....
 
 
THESE PHOTOS ARE FROM A SAILOR WHO, I'M TOLD, WAS ON THE USS QUAPAW ATF-11O. INTERESTING AS I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM ANYWHERE ELSE.                       
                                                             ******************
Several members have sent the above to me. The photos are real but the story is phony.
One would have to be  on ship, on land and in the air to take these photos. The photos have appeared in many articles about Pearl Harbor. The USS Quapaw AFT-110 was not even built until well after the attack on Pearl Harbor. - Ben

WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS GO ON AGAIN (ALL OVER THE WORLD)
(Eddie Seller / Sol Marcus / Bennie Benjamin)
Bing Crosby


When the lights go on again all over the world
And the boys are home again all over the world
And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above
A kiss won't mean "goodbye" but "Hello to love"
When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world (2x)
