My Grandfather went out to walk his dog, check the surf and see if it was a good morning to fish . He ended up in a life boat making rescues and recoveries .
My Grandmother was started awake and spent 11 hours in an inside wall closet behind a wall made of her bed and pillows .
My great Aunt ran a triage in her living room.
They along with Dad's Mom who worked in the Oakland Port Chicago ship yard briefly in the fall of 41' and both his Father and Dad that served WWI and clean up times are gone now .
Dads brother that served in the Pacific along with his Uncles are all gone now too .
It occurs to me that I was that close to being someone completely different or not at all on this day 82 years ago.....
