Memories of Midway
"Did any of you ever go golfing at Goony Dunes,
or bowl in the famous Midway bowling alley with it's
sand on the approach?
Or did you go fishing on the Mauna Kai and catch one
of those famous 70 lb Wahoo's or Tuna's and then have
a big Wahoo or Tuna Steak grilled on someone's
bar-b-q?
I mean, what did you do in your spare time? Did you
play softball at Hartley Field? Did you fall off of
your horse trying to dodge a goonie bird? Did you tip
a few at the E M club" Or go trick or treating from
house to house on Halloween?
What are your memories of the many pleasures that
took place on Midway Island?"
