Dan Goodwin was on the
ship from 1936 until it was sunk.
My
dad was a survivor (as he was on base)
that morning.
His brother did not.
My father and
mother were married and had base housing
across from Hickam Field. At the time of the attack my father was at home
and
survived. His name was Daniel B. Goodwin. He passed away in 1988.
My dad attended several of the Okla.
reunions and Pearl Harbor survivors
reunions until he passed away in 1988.
His story of that day is in a book by
Joe Todd, called the USS OKLAHOMA,
Remembrance of a great lady. If anyone
can find a copy, it is very interesting
reading. Also, I attended the memorial
to the USS OKLAHOMA in 1998 in Ok. City.
It was a beautiful memorial to those
who lost their lives. Mr. Paul
Goodyear has worked very hard for years
to see that these men have not been
forgotten.
Thanks Paul for all your
efforts.
