[CW] 7 December 1941. A quiet Sunday at coast station...

Dave ......Thanks 

Remarkable the log still exists and was saved... 

I remember this ...I was 9 years old ... A December Sunday afternoon and my older brother and I just came home from the movies .. about 3:30 PM 

Our parents had been out ... they burst through the back door and said ... "Turn the radio on ... the Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor" ... 

I had never seen my parents so scared and excited ......this really frightened my brother and I .....we did not know what to do ..... . 

....... as a 9 year old I had no idea where Pearl Harbor was .... was it in the next town ??
