About the Header

My blog header is a picture of Kuhio Park Terrace, where my early childhood in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii began. I am the one standing next to my father and my brother, Jamison, is the one goofing off. It was and still is one of the roughest housing projects on Oahu. It is part of who I am and where I am from.

Arthur Lawrence Tapp

Arthur Lawrence Tapp was my great-grandfather. He was in the US Army. Arthur was born on October 26, 1906 in Cunningham, Kingman County, Kansas. He died June 11, 1978 in Wenatchee, Chelan County, Washington.   We called him Grandpa Penny.

 Here are a few items I could find.

1942 - Comanche School Census, Oklahoma.  My grandmother Norma is enrolled.

1944 - Comanche School Census - my grandmother Norma and her brother Clifford are enrolled.  Their father is listed.
