Accounts of Addob
ati spending two days pulling dead and wounded out of the harbor, and Clower watching the annihilation of Schofield Barracks, were given in vivid detail for the attending group of 42 persons.

Both men are residents of Sacramento and are leaders of the area's chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association. If you missed this engagement, they're sure to be back at Central for another talk in 2008. Check http://www.saclibrary.org/ for news on all upcoming events.
