Abstract
Description
Ninole-born man describes plantation life, including his parents and their contract sugarcane field and family grocery store. He describes his swimming workouts and other outdoor activities. He gives a detailed account of the 1946 tsunami: being dragged out to sea by the third wave, floating on makeshift raft, meeting two other survivors, climbing aboard a raft dropped from a plane and being rescued. He also talks about his recruitment into military service, Vietnam experience, and his philosophy based on the events of his life.
