Aloha from Washington DC 

People we knew in Hawaii.

We’ll just call them David and Becky.  He was a captain in the navy and she a stay-at-home mom and both living in Navy housing near Peral Harbor.  At that time they had a four-year-old daughter who often played with our three-year-old.  We lived in a townhouse up the way above a country club golf course which overlooked all of Pearl Harbor.

Then we eventually left Hawaii after about two years living on the main island of Oahu.  I lost my job at a radio station after a new management team came.  But anyway we had left Hawaii after about two years and left David and Becky there.  But we kept in touch. 

Later   David and Becky moved back to the mainland.  Moving to Washington, DC where David took up a duty in the Pentagon.  That monstrous multisided building in our nation’s capital.

We did stay in touch through Christmas cards and a visit to Baltimore one year and toured the DC area with David and Becky and family.  They continued sending us year end newsletters mentioning Becky and daughter interpreting for the deaf.

Then years later we got a newsletter saying David went to work as usual.  David was in his office but then he and several others left the Pentagon early that morning for an offsite meeting.  In the meantime a hijacked American Airlines plane hit the side of the Pentagon where David’s office was located.  It was September 11, 2001.
