...and then I hit the "send" button before I was ready.  Anyway, he 
only tells that he was a good pitcher and a good paper-pusher, and 
enjoyed time on Waikiki beach.  I wonder what else there was.  He's 
never mentioned even holding a weapon, nor hearing an aircraft operated 
in anger.  He tells of his brother, who commanded an LST, buying Navy 
beer for 50 cents/ case and selling it to Dad for 75 cents, who would 
in turn sell it to thirsty GIs for a buck a case.

I wonder what else there was. . .
