00:00:00.730 --> 00:00:05.280 align:middle line:84%
OK, this is the easiest
question of the evening.

00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.370 align:middle line:84%
Is there anyone here have
to eliminate some people?

00:00:08.370 --> 00:00:10.248 align:middle line:84%
I've already mentioned
this to Mary Carter.

00:00:10.248 --> 00:00:11.790 align:middle line:84%
I've always talked
to you about this.

00:00:11.790 --> 00:00:14.250 align:middle line:84%
And I know she
knows who this is.

00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:16.140 align:middle line:90%
Who is Husband E. Kimmel?

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:19.320 align:middle line:84%
You get the prize after
out there in the hall,

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:20.160 align:middle line:90%
after the reading.

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.400 align:middle line:90%
Husband E. Kimmel.

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:24.210 align:middle line:90%
No one?

00:00:24.210 --> 00:00:27.597 align:middle line:90%


00:00:27.597 --> 00:00:29.555 align:middle line:84%
Let me read the poem,
and then you'll remember.

00:00:29.555 --> 00:00:32.900 align:middle line:90%


00:00:32.900 --> 00:00:35.420 align:middle line:84%
This is a poem
about Pearl Harbor.

00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:37.370 align:middle line:90%
Ring any bells?

00:00:37.370 --> 00:00:38.420 align:middle line:90%
Just blurted out.

00:00:38.420 --> 00:00:39.110 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:00:39.110 --> 00:00:40.070 align:middle line:90%
I see a hand.

00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:41.380 align:middle line:90%
Who was he?

00:00:41.380 --> 00:00:43.380 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:46.380 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:51.805 align:middle line:90%


00:00:51.805 --> 00:00:53.180 align:middle line:84%
I take it you're
a history major.

00:00:53.180 --> 00:00:58.370 align:middle line:90%


00:00:58.370 --> 00:01:00.080 align:middle line:90%
Any case, to the poem.

00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:01.460 align:middle line:90%
There is a problem in the poem.

00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:02.870 align:middle line:90%
It ends on the word dreams.

00:01:02.870 --> 00:01:05.239 align:middle line:84%
And dreams is one
of those buzz words.

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.850 align:middle line:84%
I can't, for the life of me,
figure out a different word.

00:01:07.850 --> 00:01:10.760 align:middle line:84%
But I think the rest
of the poem is OK.

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.520 align:middle line:90%
"Husband E. Kimmel."

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:16.070 align:middle line:84%
"For all it's worth,
this river might

00:01:16.070 --> 00:01:19.520 align:middle line:84%
have fallen out of the
sky to lie a denser

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:21.650 align:middle line:90%
oxygen upon the land.

00:01:21.650 --> 00:01:25.550 align:middle line:84%
The few [INAUDIBLE] among the
fields of pineapple and deliver

00:01:25.550 --> 00:01:28.430 align:middle line:84%
not water but the
multiple figures

00:01:28.430 --> 00:01:32.810 align:middle line:84%
that children cut out a folded
paper on Saturday afternoons.

00:01:32.810 --> 00:01:37.760 align:middle line:84%
Sugar cubes to the final
comment of the harbor.

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.270 align:middle line:84%
Did I spend the night
with a Japanese lady?

00:01:41.270 --> 00:01:44.330 align:middle line:84%
Did my wife later insist
while the seamen's wives

00:01:44.330 --> 00:01:48.440 align:middle line:84%
scowled that all her luggage
be loaded on the clipper ship?

00:01:48.440 --> 00:01:49.820 align:middle line:90%
Of course not.

00:01:49.820 --> 00:01:51.920 align:middle line:90%
I did what was right.

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.590 align:middle line:84%
While every day
the PBYs went out,

00:01:54.590 --> 00:01:59.390 align:middle line:84%
their intelligent pilots lulling
over the ocean for 16 hours,

00:01:59.390 --> 00:02:02.810 align:middle line:84%
to come back and next
day to it all again.

00:02:02.810 --> 00:02:04.940 align:middle line:84%
Every day, we could
see the submarines

00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:08.180 align:middle line:84%
out there eyeing us,
the children haunting us

00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:10.850 align:middle line:90%
from bad marriages.

00:02:10.850 --> 00:02:13.610 align:middle line:84%
Nevertheless, I still
believed that women

00:02:13.610 --> 00:02:17.690 align:middle line:84%
were sent by God to bring
men back to righteousness.

00:02:17.690 --> 00:02:21.410 align:middle line:84%
I still believe that if I'd
had enough to explore with,

00:02:21.410 --> 00:02:23.420 align:middle line:84%
if the people who
knew better had

00:02:23.420 --> 00:02:26.090 align:middle line:84%
sent the message they
should have sent,

00:02:26.090 --> 00:02:28.580 align:middle line:90%
I'd have put the fleet to sea.

00:02:28.580 --> 00:02:32.750 align:middle line:84%
The men running up the ladders
to save themselves, to save us

00:02:32.750 --> 00:02:34.220 align:middle line:90%
from where they lay--

00:02:34.220 --> 00:02:39.200 align:middle line:84%
on Sunday morning,
entombed in their dreams."

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:39.980 align:middle line:90%
Second chance.

00:02:39.980 --> 00:02:41.644 align:middle line:90%
Who is Husband E. Kimmel?

00:02:41.644 --> 00:02:44.920 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:45.420 align:middle line:90%


00:02:45.420 --> 00:02:46.410 align:middle line:90%
You win.

00:02:46.410 --> 00:02:48.570 align:middle line:90%
You win.

00:02:48.570 --> 00:02:55.770 align:middle line:84%
Yours is-- yours is the future
is not what it was meant to be

00:02:55.770 --> 00:02:57.720 align:middle line:90%
or something.

00:02:57.720 --> 00:02:59.100 align:middle line:90%
He was Admiral Kimmel.

00:02:59.100 --> 00:03:01.380 align:middle line:90%
It's a very complicated story.

00:03:01.380 --> 00:03:04.500 align:middle line:84%
But interesting one
and revealing one.

00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:05.000 align:middle line:90%
