Editor’s Corner

Some of my friends claim I havethis uncanny ability to rememberthings we have done right down tothe exact date and time, day of theweek, what we were wearing, etc.One friend even calls me Rain Man.

I can remember my first middle school dance and whatI wore: Sept. 20, 1976, a Monday, a beige corduroyleisure suit with a green floral shirt. That’s right. It wasquite the look.

I can remember the date of my first NFL game, my firstkiss and my first speeding ticket, complete with where Iwas and what was playing on the radio (Band on the Runby Paul McCartney and Wings).

Of course I know the date and time and what I waswearing on the days my kids were born. Heck, even whatI ate on those days.

But, for the life of me, I have very few memories of myhigh school prom, which took place on May 22, 1982.

One would figure I would be able to remember it sinceit was my only prom and only high school dance I everwent to.

(By the way, tonight, April 26, is the Marshall HighSchool prom. So kids, be safe out there.)

Part of the reason I don’t remember much of it could bethe fact that I was there for not even an hour. My date hadit in her head that being fashionably late was the only wayto go.

We didn’t have a big to-do prior to the prom - no groupphotos, no group dinners at restaurants 30 miles away.Dinner was served at the prom and there was a photogra-pher there who would take the photo of the happy couplefor $20.

My prom started at 8 p.m. and was held at the swankyFoutainbleau Hotel on Miami Beach.

After picking up my date at 8:45 and dealing with traf-fic, a bridge opening and waiting for the valet to take mycar, we walked into the prom at 9:50.

By then dinner was over, but I was able to snag someleftover chopped liver that was part of the hors d’oeuvresand tasted like an old shoe. Yum.

I remember we slow danced to one song, Endless Love,before we went over to the photographer. Once our photowas taken, my friend and his date said it was time to go tohead over to this place that had dessert and dancing.

And so, 45 minutes after arriving, we left the prom. Weshared a banana split and at midnight, said goodnight tomy friends and I drove my date home.

The thing I remember most about that night was whathappened after we got back to her house. We sat in the carand talked - about life after high school, our hopes anddreams. For three hours we talked and then we had ourfirst and only kiss. It was thrilling, wonderful and as itwould turn out, bittersweet.

I may not have remembered much about my prom, butthat night was one of the most unforgettable nights of mylife.

Until next week, may the good news be yours.

Last week, many people participated in events to celebrate Earth Day on April 22and Arbor Day on April 25. We asked these six people what they do to help theenvironment be green.

Lest we forget...Bataan 1942ByMERLINSHAVER

Member of VFW Post 4073

General Homma made a bad miscal-culation when he allowed Gen.

MacArthur to with-draw into the BataanPeninsula. The de-fense of the Philip-pines was extendedby four months.

MacArthur hadwithdrawn to Bataanwith about 80,000

men and under heavy fire from theJapanese they had taken up positionson the sides of Mount Rosa. However,the Americans faced many problems.They had sufficient supplies for100,000 men for 30 days, they had tofeed 25,000 civilians, they had nomosquito nets or quinine and malariamade three quarter of the troupes unfitwithin a month.

The Japanese also suffered frommalaria and in February their attackswere suspended as 10,000 of theirtroops succumbed to the disease. An-other problem was Homma’s best divi-sion, the 48th, was sent to Java in Feb-ruary and he had to wait for reinforce-ments before making the final assault.Homma launched the offensive on Jan.9 with inexperience troops because hethought there were only 25,000 U.S.troops in Bataan.

At first the Japanese were beatenback and had heavy causalities, but byJan. 23 they had pushed the Americansback to their reserve positions. OnFeb. 16, MacArthur led an attack onthe Japanese lines, but by Feb. 22 theJapanese were advancing andMacArthur was told to leave by hisown staff. On March 11, MacArthurleft by boat for Mindanco leaving Lt.General Wainwright in command.

In early March, the Japanese had

only 3,000 troops on the front lines,but reinforcements reached them bythe end of the month - 22,000 freshtroops with aircraft and artillery. TheJapanese attack resumed on April 3and the Americans were pushed backup to the tip of the island. In the nextweek, the Japanese reached Wain-wright front and caused confusion atthe rear. On April 8, Wainwright with-drew to Corregidor with a small force,leaving the troops to surrender. Sixdays after the surrender the BataanDeath March began. Some 70,000American and Filipino troops wereforced to march 60 miles in the tropi-cal sun from Mariveles in the south ofBataan to the rail-yard at San Fer-nando. They were then packed intofreight cars and taken to CampO’Donnell. Only 54,000 survived thebestiality of the Japanese guards andthe harrowing conditions.
