Awesome work that you've researched and provided. Found out doing genealogy a relative (her husband) was included within your work. Thomas Samuel Macy - Captain Palama fire Station.
I've been going to gravesites and thinking about the stories of the people.. jus in my family (mom/dads) side there is so many stories.. As far as WW2 .. I have a newspaper clipping from many months before the attack. I have to find it in between these books again.. But, I browsed through your postings and read about people bet'ing and knowing about it coming (I have to agree with you on that).. I always said that too..due to what I heard from elderly family members..(Hawaii coconut wireless connection) This Ad in the newspaper.. it was an ad for material (clothing)Sale.. And story has it that the government knew about the attack and had decoded it months before... The ad tells what ships what times dates (all in material types and prices) My mom knew about it (she was a teen then) teens somehow get these bits of information LOL.. but she saved the ad and then made copies and its been in our genealogy books..Something about her neighbor was arrested months before .. not sure if it was related..but they had a transmitter in their childs doll..Well thanks again for all your hard work.

Lynn,
The Hawaii State Public Library has microfilm of the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star Bulletin for the war years. (I know the Honolulu branch has the collection as well as Kaneohe.) If you want to read the entire collection of war years, that's the place. Now, as far as Captain Macy, there's a great article in the Journal of Hawn History about the firefighters on Dec 7th. (Have a librarian help you find it.) OK, the ad you mentioned was for a dry good store. I'll deal with it when I talk about rumors. It is a very far stretch to consider it a message to the Japanese. Gravesites--the Hawaii Reporter now has a column about the graves at the Punchbowl. You may want to check it out. (www.HawaiiReporter.com) Thanks for reading the blog. I have a column at Hawaii Reporter, too. It's the same as the blog, but a bit more "cleaned up" and less "talk story."
Good luck with genealogy. Dee
