My first girlfriend's grand dad was the commander of Pearl Harbor when it was attacked. The family (generations of Annapolis grads) steadfastly maintained that intelligence about the impending attack was not shared with Admiral Kimmel. Needless to say, they weren't real fond of FDR.

I often joke with people that I might be the last person that remembers Pearl Harbor. I was 5 years old and my father had just gotten a job inspecting 03A3's at Remington in Ilion. We lived in a third floor apartment in Herkimer. A little after lunch time we began hearing about the attack on the radio. We went outside; it was a sunny but cool December day and Main street was full of people asking each other what they had heard.

Best, Austin
