I did not receive anything on the activities surrounding the 2008 PHSA Convention in my town, Fredericksburg. I am the only living survivor in Fredericksburg. I plan to attend all the activities, but now find out that I don’t seem to be registered. Please help me with what I need to do. I have been looking forward to this all year and have no information on fees, times, etc. Also, if I have not paid for the registration, I will be happy to send you the cost of attending. I just cannot miss this convention. I am 86, soon to be 87 years old and it will break my heart to miss these events.
URGENT. Please write back to my friend who is assisting me, Patricia Evans. During the day, you may reach her at patricia.evans@jelly.com or evenings at psevans@austin.rr.com. She will be taking me to and attending with me, the events over the course of the next few days.
I look forward to your response. You can also reach Patricia at (830) 370-7072.
Thank you so much, Patricia Evans for Quinton Pyle.
P.S. to previous email. I tried to reach Jim Evans, but there was no answer. A lady at the National Museum of the Pacific War here in town, said she thought all the PHSA people were arriving today. Since I cannot reach anyone, please contact me right away as to what I need to do to receive info and participate in all the weekend PHS events.

I am seeking information on the sons and daughters of Pearl Harbor survivors (SDPHS) and no matter what I type in my search engine (brouser) NOTHING appears – and no links from the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association web page. How sad…
If anyone has the SDPHS web site information, please advise.
