man, that pearl harbor handshake story rules.

― ian (orion), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:47 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah that's awesome, grady. i just realized that lee harvey oswald sort of looks like a young bruce willis in that pic.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

just realized? weird, i've always thought that, i think (probably because Bruce Willis and LHO were introduced into my life at approx. the same time)

yeah, dude's name is Jim Leavelle and he was a PH survivor, and then went on to work at Dallas PD.

other cool, slightly more cheesy story from today's symposium:

118. there was a lady who was a 10 year old navy brat in 1941 and was at a "Jitterbug Contest" on the military base the night before the PH attack. the band leader knew she was a very good jitterbugger, but knew she didn't have a partner so asked the crowd i some young gent would come and dance with her. a uniformed sailor walked on to the dance floor, danced with her, and the two won the contest, each taking home a trophy and never even getting eachothers' names. (no doubt a HUGE thing to happen to a ten year old girl in 1941). the attacks happened the next morning and the little girl survived, lived on Oahu during all of WWII, and went on to live in the Southeast. She always wondered if the serviceman she danced with survived the attack and if so could she one day reunite. long story short, she finally tracked him down, alive and well in 1998, (they had been living 15 miles apart for a few decades) and at the 60th anniversiary gala in 2001, they danced the jitterbug together for the first time in 60 years. they were both in the room as me today while she told this story and will dance the jitterbug again at tonite's 65th aniv. gala.

both this lady and jim leavelle are being covered by NBC this week, so there's going to be stuff on nightly news and today show on wed and thurs. probably.
