Note: NOTE FROM JANINE MARIE (KRAMER) RICHARDSON (photo)

Photos my Dad, Chuck, had from when he visited his Uncle Charlie in Florida in August 1945. My Dad had a hard time getting drafted into war service -- he was just under 5' 3" which emotionally troubled him all his life (feeling so short). After trying 3 times (I was told) he was accepted in and became a tail gunner. After flying the requisite 50 missions he was released to a hospital for "combat fatigue," in the final months of the war. I'm not sure he ever recovered -- he was always a very volatile person prone to throwing things and we all learned (me and my sisters) to "be quiet" and stay out of the way when Dad came home from work (electrical worker, construction industry -- IBEW union). I only learned of his hospitalization after he died at 91 in 2013 and I started going through the military records he had given me. Finally, I had some sort of explanation for something that had been hidden from all of us in the family all those years.

On the photo's backs he wrote: "Cousin Andrew, Uncle Charlie, Me, Miami, Aug. 1945," and "Uncle Charlie and Me, Miami, August 1945." My Dad loved that Florida trip. He married my mother, Betty Jean Green, in Hannibal, MO 2 years later after a very short acquaintance. She was 7 years younger than him (born 1929) and preceded him in death in 2013 by just a few months.

Note: NOTE FROM JANINE MARIE (KRAMER) RICHARDSON; 1 Apr 2015

Since you asked, I was married from 23 to 39 (1978 -- 1993). I was also married for ten months when I was 21. The Richardson name comes from my first husband -- I liked the name so I kept it when I married Richard Dickason in 1978 -- and he took the name, too. He was 8 years older than me. My 3 kids were all born during my 2nd marriage (to Dickason) and were all born in Hawaii -- and at home. Richard died in 2009. Kao and my son, Zech, looked after him as best as they could during his last 2 years and for his final days, they enlisted my help.

Palama Settlement opens access to new archives (By Pat Gee)
What was once a mishmash of yellow photos and documents stacked from floor to ceiling has been organized into a coherant record of the vital role Palama Settlement has played in the growth oh Honolulu since 1896.
. . . .
Dr. Janine Richardson used the archives five years ago to write a thesis on children in orphanages from 1865 to the 1930s while earning a Ph.D. at the University of Hawaii. Documents on social welfare history are usually hard to find because they've been destroyed or lost, Richardson said.
"It's really exciting that the Palama Settlement archives are going to be available ... for historians, people doing research on public health, philanthropy, urban growth histories, tenement reform, birth control -- Palama was active in so many things," Richardson said. "They (archives) provide a window into the daily lives of working-class men, women and children -- everyday people living everyday lives among the struggles of their time."
