At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81.

Way too expensive. Looking at a Best Western in Springfield for lots less money.

Looks like Jon Krup and I will be meeting up in Chicago and fly in together and stay there. Haven't seen Jonny since a 2001 Torsk work weekend I think.

Hi guys,

I did a little checking on the BW Springfield and it doesn't look any cheaper, even with AARP/SENIOR discount. They were showing
rate at $127.50 per night for a room with 2 doubles, if you were staying 3/16-3/18, Mon-Wed, which I "assume" is the length of time you would be staying. That wouldn't be bad if you were going to double up, which I "assume" would be the case. Is there any chance that a "group rate"
could be arranged, if they have one??? Just a query.

(sorry for the boo-boo in the days)
