This is one of my favorite stories about Roberta Batshaw, nee Balk. She is my grandfather Maurice Jacobs 1st cousin. She was married 4 times. Husband #3 was Bernie Liss with whom she had a child Steven and Husband #4 was Arthur Batshaw. I do not know who Husband's #1 or #2 are.
In her younger days, she tells us she was quite a swinger. The story she tells is about being in Pearl Harbor Hawaii in the days preceding December 7,1941. Cousin Bobbie (that is what we called her) was friendly with the Military officers stationed in Pearl Harbor. She said that they told her to leave Hawaii by her friends, which see did. Until recently we had no reason to doubt the story. I found the below Manifest from the Port of Los Angeles that shows she let Honolulu Hawaii on September 27.1940.
