My father was a sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Corps, stationed at a small air base in Kansas City Kansas. They were having coffee that morning, when a private burst into the room and told of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Six times, they were called to the flight line in full battle gear, then, told to stand down. There was much confusion, and no TV, no cell phones, and only radio to hear what was happening. Dad told me that many of the men begged to go, to do whatever they could to help at Pearl Harbor. They were ready, furious, and wanted to seek revenge for this horrible attack. They never had to go that day. Eventually, dad was sent to the Solomon Islands area, and saw some combat there. He made it back home safely. We can never forget these things, the lives lost, and the sacrifices that were made.

If you were Charles's son, you'd be a Hofschire - but I don't remember Charlie and Sheila tying the knot or even having kids.

Jane died in 1979 - married name was Davis.

Those were John and Irja's kids - so I think it's a different John Hofschire.

Nope.....Irja took care of both Gen. Eisenhower and Gen Wainwright when they had pneumonia during the war. Seriously there aren't a lot of us Hofschire's around. John Hofschire had another son from another woman, John M. Hofschire (my father). PM?
