So Few Return to Pearl Harbor

Dec. 4th Santa Rosa (Ca) Press-Democrat.

Fewer and fewer are left. The end was known in the beginning, but it still doesn't diminish the sadness of the passing on of the survivors of the event 69 years ago that plunged the United States into World War II.

There are just six members left in the regional Pearl Harbor Survivors Association and half of them attended the recent reunion in Hawaii.

Jesse Love and Herb Louden were chaplains at the time of the attack and went back as did Walt Urmean.

Bill May, Don Blair and Frank Sennello remained.
