I’m writing a short story about that revolves around the sinking of the U.S.S. Arizona and the attack on Pearl Harbor. There are a few details that I need that might make this Navy story a bit more authentic. Chief Scott, et al, if you’re willing to answer some questions about Navy life, would you please e-mail me at [leslie@scrappy.net](mailto:leslie@scrappy.net)? Thanks!

Sure thing, Leslie. My server’s been down though (Y2K upgrade) and phone service has been spotty. Your best bet is to e-mail me: kalbacss@eisenhower.navy.mil

I will try to reach you though.

Chief, I’ve written to you at that address for the last two days, and I don’t think it’s getting through.

Can you write to me? Otherwise, I’ll just post 'em here.
