Hi all, I went by the name the photographer used for Pearl of Pearl Harbor and the Explosions. She went by Pearl Harbor/Harbour, too. I am an SF Bay native,doesn’t make me an expert, I remember her going by Pearl E. Gates when I was in school at that time. Attention grabbing names and beautiful lady! Paul S. was a lucky guy!!
