I found out that Don Alsbro is a retired colonel in the U.S. Army and president of a veterans organization called Lest We Forget. I wasn't able to find out about him at Pearl Harbor.
There was an article from the Dec. 4, 2006, Berrien County, Michigan Herald Palladium about another survivor, William Wenger, 82 at the time, who was going to make his third and final trip back for the 65th anniversary commemoration.
He was on the destroyer USS Hull and said he was seventeen at the time of the attack and weighed 120 pounds soaking wet.

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.
