Читать книгу Pearl Harbor Child - Dorinda MD Nicholson - Страница 4

This book may never have gotten to press without the support of the Arizona Memorial Museum Association. I am indebted to Gary Beito, who brought the concept of Pearl Harbor Child to the attention of the Association. It was through his enthusiasm and encouragement and belief that my story needed to be told, that this book became a reality.

My appreciation also goes to those generous individuals who shared their personal photography collections: DeSoto Brown, Abel L. Dolim, and Senator Daniel K. Inouye. Photographs and /or historical props were also provided by the Hawaii State Archives, Bishop Museum, U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii, Hawaii War Records Depository at the University of Hawaii, with much help from James Cartwright, Johnson County Museum System, National Archives, Harry S. Truman Library, and, of course, the USS Arizona Memorial Photo Archives, National Park Service. Also, a note of thanks to Mom and Dad for taking many of the snapshots that found a home inside this book.

Finally, the person most responsible for the completion of this book is my husband, Larry. His creativity shines through in the illustrations, typesetting, editing, and the overall design. He was the one who spent many long and late hours molding my words and weaving illustrations onto the printed page. For his talents, his help, and his love, I am eternally grateful.
