I am a PhD student working on the Amchitka tests, and to find these photos of the USN protesters is just incredible. Wow. This is an incredible, amazing, USEFUL historical resource.

That would have been the time that the Peoples' Coalition undertook to organize a fundraiser at the Crater Festival. The idea was to assemble Pizza at Mama Mia's, transport them to PCFPJ's stand in Diamond Head crater, and then to bake them there, so that we could sell slices of hot, freshly baked pizza at that remote location. I was appointed to be in charge of that initiative. Your father made a huge pizza oven available to us, thanks to your networking. I met your father when we picked up the oven at his business place on South Beretania! We transported the oven to the crater, hooked it up to a large propane cylinder, and soon had a working pizza oven. (I recall picking up the propane cylinder at the gas company and transporting it to the crater, strapped into my little Triumph TR3 two-seater sports car.) We did make some good money, but there was one serious flaw to our plan: because there was such a crush of people entering the crater during the festival, the truck transporting the pizza from Mama Mia's experienced huge delays, therefore we had only a limited number of pizza to bake and sell. If we had had more pizza, we would have made a huge amount of money. A lot of credit is due the two brothers who operated Mama Mia's and who came up with the idea of selling pizza in the crater.
