I had no more than turned on the computer than I heard screams of joy -- some college had signed a football recruit -- Alabama had taken a player supposed to go to LSU.
November 1945, the Pickens arrived at Pearl Harbor to begins training Marines to board boats and land on shore of an island similar to Iwo Jima. We would spend weeks in training exercises for the operation.
My memory includes entering Pearl and gazing at the up-side-down battleship Arizona. As long as my days last, I will remember the site and what it represented.
