This is the story of my parents, Jean and Paul Puckett, two young people who lived through the adventure of Pearl Harbor and then went on to share a life together for almost 60 years.
The time is late 1940. A young man and woman from different worlds bump into each other at a restaurant on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii. The young man is named Paul. He has twinkling blue eyes, a deep voice and he is quite handsome. Paul has come from Colorado on a lark. The young woman's name is Jean, that's the name she chose for herself. Her given name is Haruko. Jean has piercing dark brown eyes and black hair and she's wearing it in a loose style down to the base of her neck. But now she finds herself staring into those blue eyes and wondering, "Who is this man?" At the same time he finds himself thinking that he likes everything about her. It would not be long before he discovers that Jean is spunky. She has a little temper at times and she does things with a flourish.
Soon the two are seeing each other. They go deep sea fishing together. They spend time at the beach where Paul plays his guitar and sings a little. Other times they drive up to the Pali or into the hills where the foliage is thick and the smell of flowers is like perfume. He is learning about her world and she learns about his. For Paul this island is a paradise.
