Tina asked Sara Ackerman:

Mahalo Nui, Sara! I just love your book, Radar Girls. It took me right back home. I live on the mainland now but grew up in Honolulu. I remember a bunch of family stories about WWII; the barbed wire on Waikiki beach; the army corps of engineers taking over Punahou. Do you know much about what Duke did in those days? My dad was one of his "boys". I never asked him about that before he died.

Sara Ackerman Hi Tina, thank you, I'm so happy to hear it! Interesting question...no, I did not know what Duke was up to during wartime. So, I just looked it up and came upon this article. Sounds like they were still out there. Would be fascinating to learn more! I'll bet your dad sure had some stories, what a life...
