I'll be seeing you, Aloha

It's time to close this blog.

I offer my last post, a link to a film captured by Naval Officer Richard Sullivan on VJ Day and I encourage you to visit all of his websites.

Aloha, until we meet again.

Here is the text for Sullivan's VJ Day film:65 Years Ago my Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender. Kodachrome 16mm film: God Bless Kodachrome, right? I was able to find an outfit (mymovietransfer.com) to do a much superior scan of this footage to what I had previously posted, so I re-did this film and replaced the older version There are more still images from this amazing day, in color, at discoveringhawaii.com
