MEA CULPA
Preliminary research prompted by OPE reveals that I have been snookered. The Sgt. Elliott I met in 1959 was NOT the Private at Pearl Harbor. HE left the Army in 1945. Boy, do I feel foolish. . . .
Oh well, it was a fun piece of fiction. I really did perform on stage with Gary Collins, however. I'm sure of that. (Look him up. . . he is a minor celebrity. Please don't tell him I said "minor.")

The obit could be wrong. Did your Sgt. look like the guy in the photo?
I don't know. All white people look alike.
