    They sure were the days man. Driving around loonies who want to throw away all inhibitions for a few days is my kind of job. At least it would have been for me back then in the pre-marraige, pre-AIDS days and stuff. I salute you, that must've been great for a young guy. Get a lot of business over by The International Marketplace at about 4 AM? Those sure were the days.

    Last time I was in that parking lot, the room that housed Harry's was still there, but turned into an Auxiliary Room or something. Ask one of the old-timers. Great place.

    How about the Kitty Kat up behind Ala Moana? I know you made a few drop-offs there. I think that was the name of it. First place I ever saw w/shower stall.

    Klassic Kat? The place with the shower stall. Many, many years. Early 80's. I was in there with chief police/Independence Township, NJ. He still is. That just might be the last time I had a beer also. On that same trip, we were sitting down to dinner at Pieces of Eight on Lewers. "The Chief" took a swig of his pre-dinner MaiTai, and up through the straw came a tiny piece of glass that he managed to notice amid the crushed ice. Free rounds of drinks while we were there, and The Chief ate free. It's gone too.

    The first trip I made to Hickam was in 1979. The latest, 15-19 May 04, with a stop in Sioux Falls on the outbound leg. The island has changed immensely during that time. Small mom & pop places taken over by the big boutiques. More people. Still a paradise though.

    You got it Tedwick!

    Checks came in today from Keiko and Fongolio. Thanks guys.

    Mike, to answer an earlier question, Harry's Underwaterbar had to be open in 1980. We discovered it on the May 1980 trip, and Mt. Saint Helens blew its top while we were on Oahu. They kept us there another 5 days (downtown at the Outrigger West I think, or Outrigger Surf) so we wouldn't have to fly through the debris on the way home. Total of 9 days downtown on Uncle Sugar. We had a navigator on that trip who was as looney as the day is long. Hard drinker too. One afternoon he drags me down there with a "Come on, I gotta show you something." Walking down into that parking lot I was kind of worried about what he wanted to show me, cause Dennis was REALLY heavily salted, but it turned out okay (that time). How he found Harry's I'll never know, cause I never asked him WTF he was doing down there to begin with. We didn't live in that hotel.

    ...Irish Rose Saloon on Lewers St....

    The Irish Rose! That place is awesome! If they still have the board up, you go in there and you can see all the squadron and unit stickers from the Navy and Air Force guys. But there are quite a few from our testing events too. They all had a name. Look for Stellar Impact and Stellar Eagle, I stuck those two stickers up there if they are still there!

    I still got my shirt that they gave me for free and a free drink token. I was a regular in that bar for 2 years running. Great place and unless they moved on, three of the bar tenders were displaced Jersey boys and one was from Warminster, PA I think it was? Don't remember for sure but it was a slice of home 5,000 miles away. When you're on site for 2-3 months at a time a familiar place is a good thing.

    They just remodeled I heard which is why I'm wondering if the board is still there.

    I know exactly where it is, and exactly why I never hung around there. Moose's neither.

    Moose's is a chain deal. They are all over California too. OK for a decent burger or quick bite and a brew but nothing to write home about.

    But is the glass panels above the bar are still there, that is where all the unit stickers and stuff are. You can see the panel in this picture, has a Budweiser sign above it.

    GG- Da stuff arrived today and great condition as always. You are right, Julie London is a hottie and I bet she had guys melt when she winked those lashes back in the day.

    I was just scanning ebay today and noticed this collection up for sale.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170228375871&_trksid=p3907.m32&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching

    No idea where it may go but at that price probably a pretty good investment if the majority is as stated.
