After high school I tried to join the navy to be able to go to nurses school.
I was sent to Kansas City and joined a group of six who were there to be checked out and join the navy.
I was the only woman, Barton Harbor was one of the men and a poor young man who was very hopeful to join the Navy, I do not remember the other three men.
Four of the group were accepted ,processed and sent off for training.
Barton Harbor was one of them. That is the last time I saw Barton as he went off to serve our country.
Two of us were rejected, me, I was too fat for the navy, and the poor young man, he had epilepsy.
So I went home and took another path.
The group went out for supper the evening before our physicals, we had a great time getting to know each other. Since Barton and I already knew each other we just laughed and had a good time with the others.
Herbert (Barton) Harbor was a great classmate...Enjoyed singing with him in our THS Men's Glee Club....He was a much better bass singer than me....I'm sure those of us who knew Barton enjoyed our THS classmate years with him as well....He was a good guy....a good friend to have known....
I was a friend and classmate of Bartons. We were in several classes together and I loved being around him. He was a special friend and I have special memories of him. You will be so missed dear friend. My condolences to family and friends.

Aloha Barton may you continue to rest in peace.
