PAAVille Skyline - Wake Island24977 mol gekuckt ginnI would guess this in the main intersection of PAAVille on Wake Island, photographed by my father, Woody Walsh, circa 1953. He took a series of slides, and these two images were stitched together with modern software. I like the one lone soldier walking in the lower right hand corner --- he's the only sign of "traffic."

Don Nassie with Tahitian Shell Lei19352 mol gekuckt ginnI think this was taken as a publicity photo for Shirl-iti -- to sell Tahitian shell leis and woven hats. Kahala, the 1960's.

Panoramic Image of the Bridge Between Wake and Peale Islands6783 mol gekuckt ginnAs best I can tell from the map of Wake Island this is the bridge between Wake Island and Peale Island. The water beneath leads into the lagoon. It appears that the bridge is under construction. I think this photo --- actually two slides stitched together --- is circa 1953.

The Arrival -- Honolulu6128 mol gekuckt ginnMy parents met at Leyland Powers, a school of theater and broadcast in Boston (long gone, I'd guess -- Google comes up with nothing). They drove across country and then took a plane (shown) to meet my maternal grandparents in Hawaii. On the way, they got married in Nevada. This photo shows Birdie (my aunt), my father, mother, and grandmoter at Honolulu Airport, summer 1948. I can imagine it was an interesting arrival.

PanAm Boeing Stratocruiser 377 in Honolulu, Circa 19496055 mol gekuckt ginnI did a Google search on this aircraft, N1025V. It was the first of 21 Stratocruisers delivered to PanAm (delivered on January 31, 1949). At the time it was called "Clipper America," although that doesn't seem to be the name in this photograph. (PanAm apparently had many aircraft called "Clipper America" over the years.) N1025V is now sold as a model. The real N1025V was sold to the Israeli Air Force in 1963 as a cargo plane, and last flew in March 1974.

The Comfort Station5545 mol gekuckt ginnThe location and date of this photograph are unknown, but I'm guessing it's not Hawaii. My grandfather, Baba, with my aunt Birdie outside the "comfort station."
