My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

Two Pearl Harbor Survivors To Speak At WW II Round Table
From the November 29, 2017, Press & Journal (Pennsylvania) "Pearl Harbor survivors to speak at local World War II Roundtable event December 7."
Richard "Dick" Schimmel of Allentown was at a radar station at Fort Shafter where he worked a s a plotter and switchboard operator.
William Bonelli was an aircraft mechanic with the Army Air Corps at Hickam Field
The Central Pennsylvania World War II Roundtable meets at the Grace United Methodist Church in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania.
I Sure Wish We had a WW II Round Table Around Here. --GreGen
