Yep. I was down at the college early this morning for "colors" with the
local NROTC. Thanks for remembering.

This might provide some interesting reading:

Well you ought to get him to talk about it. I sugest recording the
conversation. And I suggest you do it soon, or his story will be
forgotten.

Do you know anything about what happened to him?

He was in the barracks that morning. Got up early, although that wasn't
typical for him.. a late riser all his life. Went out for a smoke, and the
barracks was hit. Killed a bunch of his friends. He wouldn't say much more
than that, but to this day, he's up early. Probably won't last much longer.
He's diabetic and on dialysis.

I'm a Korean War veteran and I can tell you I never let one of those Japs
into my heating, ventilation and air conditioning company I owned in
Alhambra, California.
