I apologize for the use of the derogatory slur in the headline. The use of this image is only intended to take note of the events of that day.
When I was younger, there was a man who attended our church that was on the islands that day. Kermit Barror. I did some looking at other newspapers from that time and found this notice...

The Barrors were friends of the family. I remember visiting their house. Their daughter, Karla, was a very talented musician.

Our family moved from the North Country in 1978. I didn't realize the importance of what he did in the Army Air Corps. I didn't ask him what he was doing that day, exactly where he was, how he felt about things. I didn't take the time to thank him for his service. Thank you, Mr. Barror.
