MY FATHER SERVED ON THE U.S.S. BOISE, IN THE SECOND FLEET, COMING TO PEARL HARBOR WHEN THE JAPANESE BOMBED. HE TOLD US OF HEARING THE [JAPANESE] PLANES GO OVER THEM DURING RADIO SILENCE, ONLY A LIGHT CLOUD COVERING KEPT THEM ALIVE. HE WAS PROUD OF HIS SERVICE IN THE NAVY!! HE WAS THE RADIO MAN. DURING MY TEEN AND EARLY TWENTIES I GOT TO MEET SEVERAL OF HIS MATES, NOW I LIVE IN BOISE, WHERE HE WAS PUT TO REST.
