Remembering Don Wilson and Pearl Harbor memory
A personal reminiscence recalls Don Wilson, a former Sunday school teacher and Navy veteran, who warned against blind authority. He nerved the young crew of USS Henley during Pearl Harbor's dawn attack, inadvertently triggering the ship’s general quarters, then witnessed the sailors respond to the bombardment. The author later verifies Wilson’s claim by consulting a naval history, confirming the Henley’s role in the opening defense.
