QUESTION: Did you go to the Black Cat? (A popular Oahu bar for sailors)
ANSWER: Yes, but it was not one of my favorite places. One of the first times I went on liberty, I found a small restaurant. It had a bar with a few stools.

QUESTION: What was the reaction of Hawaiians to people from the Mainland?
ANSWER: I didn't have much contact with them. We used to go to Waikiki and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The Royal Hawaiian had a little grass shack with a fence around it. We would always try to sneak in and get our picture taken in front of that grass shack.
The guard would chase us away and it was a game of cat and mouse. If you were not getting your picture taken you were taking someone else's picture.

I'll have to find out about this Black Cat Bar.
