Hello, My father was stationed on Ford Island at Pearl Harbor. Our family lived in the Pearl Harbor Naval housing the day of the bombing December 7, 1941. I was twelve and remember it well. The face of the Japanese pilot, flying above the electrical wires, just above me, has haunted me for sixty-nine years.

My recent publication of "Memoirs of a Navy Brat: A Girls Adventure During the Depression and World War II" tells the life of my first eighteen years living in a Navy family. I tell of the difficulties children can have because of long periods of separation from their fathers while in the military. This is a timely story of insights today when so many American troops are overseas while wives and children wait hopefull, but alone, back home.

I encourage others to contact me. Possibly we were neighbors when we lived in the islands. Or maybe I can encourage lonely women and children whose face the same situation.

Military life can also be very positive. I grew up to be a very self reliant, strong woman who can adjust to new situations extremly well.
