Pearl Harbor 75th Anniversary-estimated 600 WWII Veterans live here in The Villages...One of them
was our neighbor Ike Southern from West Virginia, he was at Hawaii's Hickam Field on Dec 7,
1941. He told his story at a neighborhood gathering arranged by his son. He proudly showed us his
1903 Springfield rifle. That was 10 years ago!

That's good. Everyone get your new xmas lists to Frank ASAP. Will probably need to rent a truck
to return to Mi in three weeks.

Won his first singles match without difficulty, then we walked on the beach and around St
Armand's Circle with an early bird dinner... problem is red tide algae in the Gulf...makes you
cough and eyes water...anyone with allergies/asthma should not visit here! not now anyway!
