HAPPY 93rd BIRTHDAY TO JOHN!
A Special Invitation to Our Visitors.
On October 27th, 2012 John will celebrate his 93rd birthday. Considering that he was fortunate enough to survive Pearl Harbor and WWII, live a normal life, and make it into retirement before medical problems set in, and considering the various medical problems he has dealt with over the past 24+ years, it is indeed a milestone worth celebrating now as he reaches his 93rd birthday.
John frequently receives numerous requests for his autograph on cards, photos, and letters. He is pleased to oblige.and appreciates all of you who stop to visit our site and to take the time to write to him via both email and regular mail. We both thank you.
He also receives requests sometimes for a photo. A photo of John taken during his Navy years is now posted:
John Newnam, U.S. Navy, 1941-1945
For autographs, please print out and mail to John. Please include an appropriate self-addressed and stamped return envelope.
Note: All correspondence should include your email contact in case we need to contact you.
As you all know, the official PHS Association disbanded last year. However, this site is our private web site and was not in any way affiliated or associated with the official organization other than John being a member of PHSA.
As you all can also calculate that age, illnesses, and other misfortunes have taken their tolls on our Survivors greatly reducing the nunber of those still with us. Thankfully, John is still "surviving" the numerous medical crisis and issues. And in honor of his 93rd Birthday, I am sharing something very special with you.
During John's Tour of Duty in the Navy, he sent photos to his Mother. One day a man stopped by her home with a special photo offer. She selected a photo and it was reproduced onto a special background depicting events of December 7, 1941 in and around the Harbor. -- John's Mother gave the framed photo to me after John and I married. It is very special. The photo was some how colorized, which was pretty special back in the 1940s. I do not know the technique used, but when I attempted to make a copy of it, it appeared to have layers of color. The original is too fraigle to trust taking and or leaving it in someone else's hands. However, I have managed to get a rather nice copy of it and have also had an 11 x 14 color photo/poster reproduced from my copy suitable for framing. A smaller version is posted here for viewing only. View Photo/Poster Here
