From the April 15, New York Times.
Students and faculty at Palomar College in San Diego, California, are scanning and digitalizing the records of the people who were at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941.
As we see the rapid loss of members occurring in the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association (PHSA) this is a great thing as we won't have them around much longer. If their stories are not recorded, they're lost forever.
Every time a new member joined the organization, they were asked to write a brief account of their experience that day. As a result, a mass of over 25,000 stories were accumulated over the years.
Three PHSA members attended a meeting at the school the previous week.
Congrats to Palomar. --Cooter
