SW: “I was just six-years-old and getting ready

for church. We went to church and they shut the

doors. We heard loud noises that sounded like

firecrackers. You heard stuff like that a lot in Ha-

waii as we were celebrating all of the time. After

church, we went home and no one was talking

much. I had a friend who was Japanese. We

played together all the time. She could not come

to play this day and I could not understand why.

We used to go to the beach and swim in the

ocean. I have tried over the years to find her but

never could. For a long time I could not go out

and play. My daddy was a maintenance man at

The Pearl Harbor. He helped clean up after

The attack. There were people trapped

and banging on the inside of ships. You could

hear them banging.” With tears in her eyes,

Shiela continued, “there was a big ditch along

side of the Harbor and they put bodies in the

ditches as they got them out. A lot pf people

December Highlights...December Highlights...December Highlights...December Highlights... Shiela pauses and continues, “I do not like

talking about this as it brings back so many

memories . As a little girl I can remember we

had to wear tags around our neck. When we

did go out, we had to be home by 7:00 p.m.

We did not have beef to eat anymore. It went

to the military. We lived on sea weed, raw fish,

bananas, avocados and papaya. I have never

really been sick other that a cold. Maybe it

was all of that good eating after all. Back

then, since we could not go to the ocean to

swim, we would go to the mountains to find

water to swim and slide sown mud. It was a

sad time and I do not like to talk about those

memories”.

Even though Shiela has lived in the United

States for years, she still can remember those

days following the tragedy that touched the

lives of so many people 72 years ago. On

that tragic day 2,402 military individuals were

killed and 1247 wounded. Franklin D.

Roosevelt's' famous statement still stands

true today; “A date which will live in infamy” .

Thank you Shiela, for sharing your story!

We want to encourage anyone to

attend our advisory council that

meets on the 4th Thursday of every

month. This is such a great meet-

ing where you are able to share

ideas and hear what the staff has

to say about upcoming changes

and events. All are invited!

We appreciate ALL of our members

and hope all of you have a won-

derful and blessed holiday!

Happy Holidays to all!

Wow! This year has gone by so

fast. We have experienced so

many changes at Donelson

Station and we are so excited

about the year ahead. We want

to thank all of our volunteers

who continue to dedicate their

time so that FiftyForward is able

to continue to provide the great

services that we do. We could

not do it without you.

We continue to strive to make

things easier and better for all

of our members. Our lunch-

eons and trips continue to draw

great attendance, however,

some of our other activities

seem to lack attendees to con-

tinue, these would include

bowling and game day on

Wednesdays. Hopefully this

type of activity will increase this

winter. We need your help in

making suggestions as to what

type activity or interest you

would like to see at Donelson.

Please put any thoughts or

ideas you have into the sug-

gestion box in the lobby located
