One of my recent interview subjects, died saturday at Baylor in Dallas. The last time I spoke with him, this 92 year old was sharp, and remembered his time during the attack on Pearl Harbor with a memory that actually surprised me.
What I've found is that these memories have been suppressed for 60 odd years for most of these heroes
. When they find an audience that is interested, and kind of knows what they are talking about, the conversation flows...
I can't believe that this man died. Well, I can I guess. But it's hard. Those memories are gone.
On the road
