We are now 7 hr earlier than LA


SCULLY

This was the movie today in the Cabaret Lounge. Quite well done but I saw an interview with Tom Hanks and it seems the Hollywood types took some liberties with the truth of the story. Why couldn’t they just present it as it actually happened?

Miracles of WWII

Our speaker went over the many tremendous leaps forward in WWII. He is considering writing a book about this and I think it will be of interest to all, not just WWII buffs.

I’d love to see a book that talked about the advances in medicine/health care that have come about as a result of war. Out of tragedy, we have made many advances.

Entertainment

David Crathorne, a very fine musician who puts together the onboard choir (his idea for 20 yrs that has been coopted by others), and who also entertains at night, did a show of his favorite songs with their backstories. A few were new to me but with wonderful lyrics. In on instance the writer is buried on one of the islands near the Solomons and he had visited his grave as a tribute to the talent of this Finnish composer.

Weather was rainy at times, temps in the 80s and the seas were sometimes rocky.
