From the Feb. 1st Yankton (SD) Press and Dakotan.
Darrel Christopherson, 87, died Jan. 29th. He was one of South Dakota's five remaining Pearl Harbor Survivors. He had just returned from the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor.
On Dec. 7, 1941, he was on the USS Vestal, a repair ship, moored next to the Arizona when it blew up.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
