Game #1
Two Men - One War - One amazing story
Lt. Michael Concannon
March 29, 1924 -
ESCAPE FROM PEARL HARBOR
May 25, 2006
First - let me apologize for the way this is formatted - blogger sometimes is very difficult to edit...
The way Angel’s work…
I thought you would like to know why we feel Douglas’ story of his ancestors was appropriate for Memorial Day. He was guided and led by great patriots who came to this land to escape oppression at the hands of other countries (Russia). They were extremely loyal to this country and true patriots. Otto, his grandfather actually died in Salt Lake City – was he a Church Member? We will find out! There are so many ties between my father and his service to this country and this young man’s family. The spiritual feeling I felt as I researched his tree was not imagined. I felt their guidance.
Here’s the Story.
I am an author on Amazon and recently finished another adventure in clean reading for any age group. It's a time travel book called, “A Matter of Time”, which is now on Amazon. You can read about the premise on one below in the clean reading section of this page, but for now, I'll just address the part which involves my soldier.
One of the characters, an agent recruited for time travel, gets transferred from the dungeon in England 1660 to the shores of Hawaii before he became a state. He is so grateful to be out of the dungeon, he asks the Scientist what his assignment is, as he will do anything to keep from going back. She reveals to him that he, indeed is in Hawaii now, but that his assignment will be to help a young man who escapes death while aboard the USS Arizona on December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, to heal, write letters to his brother and inspire him to do something great to help others in their lives.
I needed a character to be a survivor who is saved from one disaster only to help others in the future and when I went to the USS Arizona Survivor page, just because I am in Arizona and my father was actually born in Tucson, Arizona), the name of the ship leaped off the page.
Then, of all the survivors, I was drawn to Lt Cmd. Douglas Hein, who was a sharpshooter and his father was a Boxing champion – so was my father. Then I found out that his family was from the Netherlands on his mother’s side. That was just a quirky coincidence. My father in 1945 was in The Philippines and was one of the 11th Airborne 82nd who rescued over 2000 Dutch and Christian missionaries from a Japanese Prison camp on Leyte Island. It was a secret mission organized by General MacArthur, by parachuting into the camp while the Japanese were doing their exercises from an altitude of only 500 feet at dawn.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402467/
On the History Channel, the story has been made into a documentary called Raid at Los Banos, Rescue at dawn. The movie can be purchased by anyone visiting the History Channel for 29.95. Douglas healed from the Naval accident, then of all things, he could have been discharged honorably, but chose to switch to the Air Force and become a fighter pilot. He ultimately lost his last battle as a pilot over Manila Bay in The Philippines and his name is engraved on a plaque or wall on that island in Manila coincidentally, where my father reported from the jungles of Leyte Island at the end of the war.
It's been many years from yesterday, May 25, 2006, that my father, Michael Concannon passed away and while I was investigating this young man’s family, the entire time, I felt like Douglas Hein wanted us to know more about his father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather and the sacrifices they made through their patriotism in leading and protecting our country. Each of them had a distinguished Military career of sorts.
The novel aside, we know that the work we do is so precious and priceless and those who have gone beyond the veil are waiting for us to realize this and do more family history for our families. Those choice blessings won’t be seen until we step across, but we can feel the influence of angels when we do this for our kin. I can only pray that Doug’s Grandfather was indeed LDS and that his family is going to work soon on this line. The research I did for them has set it all into play to make it very easy for them to link it to Family Search.
I hope to meet him one day and thank him in person for the gift of his ultimate sacrifice and for protecting our freedom.

Where did I get my props?
Ebay and Amazon.com
I searched for locks and lock boxes and puzzle boxes. Then I tried them out on all my kids (we have 12! So that was easy. I asked them to all give these a try and watched how long it took them to open them. One was a Physics Master Graduate. He finished all three in less than 10 minutes. Everyone else was done in about 20-25 up to one hour. Now my goal is to keep the YSA busy for at least an hour, so I have enough of these twists and turns in my program to do that.
You can use whatever locks you want. You can change the pictures of locks or clues. It's all changeable except the story line.
Each game has over 100 hours of research and dovetailing - It is a lot of effort to work out all the twists and turns so I don't feel guilty charging for my time to create and prepare this for others. Feel free to email me and ask questions.

GAME #2 -
ESCAPE FROM CRYSTAL CAVES
]
Escape from the Cabin near Crystal Caves!
This is a fun YSA activity or any group interested in Family History. All of our games are about a real person and they could find clues that others after playing this game have now put on youtube and the internet.
It takes place in 1925 and is a real story about Floyd Collins. He loved to explore caves in the Kentucky Mountains and decided to turn one on his parent's property into an Amusement Park. This real life tragedy happened to be the first American Tragedy broadcast on Radio. Every night people sat around the radio to listen and hear if Floyd Collins would escape from the cave where he had fallen and was pinned below ground in between rocks.
All of America listened and prayed. People journeyed from all over the earth to kneel at the cave entrance and pray. It almost turned into a carnival-like atmosphere with thousands holding vigil.
As you search for the hidden treasure - clues from the journal, you find out more about his life and his family and part of the exercise is to put together a pedigree with the information.
Each Lock Box or secret location gets you one clue closer to finishing the pedigree. Before you know it, you've completed 4 generations.
All answers are on Ancestry.
I did the research myself and all the documentation requested is there in the file and on Ancestry. All games come with:
the story on PowerPoint to use for printing out the clues for the Players,
a PowerPoint that shows the Game Master (You!) how to put it together and how to discern any questions about the clues.
It comes with a clue and budget sheet to show how much props might cost and where you might find them
It also comes with some handouts for participants from an Emeritus Seventy. It is super fun. and we have pictures from other groups all over the country playing this and learning how fun it is to do research. Super fun!
I found locks like this on ebay and Amazon - also Thrifty Drug has 4 and 5 letter locks and number locks which can be adapted.

Karen - what else do you do?
What is clean reading?
Have you ever seen any of your friends on Goodreads and wondered why they are reading novels with horrendous words, pictures, and ideas that pollute their minds? I still do!
I wanted to create something for my family that would let them enjoy the experience of reading adventure and spy novels, but not have explicit love scenes or foul language.
It IS possible to live a provident life without those words and scenes. You don't have to be a Mormon to enjoy a good Spy novel or love story.
I hope you will give my books a chance. Even your family could read these, though, my test group was over 80 and they said, it made their heart race a bit. So if you are faint of heart, steer clear, my LDS characters do get themselves into trouble and occasionally they need to use their weapons to get themselves out.
All of my books are .99 or free on Kindle Unlimited because it is more important to me that the world enjoy "clean" reading (no bad language) than to make money. To have something to hand down to my grandchildren is the best intent for my project.
A Matter of Time
Marietta Hensley is a Forensic Genealogist and Scientist who, using her doctorate, is using the only time machine in secret to change the lives of others for good. She has a few vices that we wouldn't readily approve of, and uses the lottery to help fund the project, rationalizing that sure, she may go forward in history and grab the winning numbers but that money is doing people good.
She looks back in time to find tragedies in which people should not have died. Using her Quantum Entanglement Device, and plotting the exact coordinates in time and space, she programs the vehicle to land in a remote location, cloaks the device with a force field, and saves the victim. Doing this ensures that one of their descendants may do something noble for mankind.
However, she wonders what happens if you go back in time to alter a genealogical line, keeping one person from dying in a horrific tragedy in order to save millions by what the descendant will invent in the future. "Should I? Should I play God?", she asks herself pensively.
Marietta has the intel, time machine and funding by U C Berkeley to go back and alter reality for the good of mankind but what she discovers is that you may save one from a tragedy only to lose other generations to another disaster; perhaps one created by a descendant of the person she saved. Another thing she discovers is that it’s no fun playing God all the time. How does she escape the drama? Find out in A Matter Of Time - on Amazon and Barnes and Nobel

He has it all in his head, hoping to find the clue his cousin left for him to clear the family of any wrongdoing by association.

(watch for a new video about this soon!)
Background to the story -1990 In Newbury Park, CA where we lived, there was indeed a Northrop and I knew several people who worked there. One gal named Peggy read my book and said, "Oh yes, I am sure that that was how the plans were smuggled out. They didn't have a very sophisticated or secure system to expose conspirators. Our plant was shut down and many people abandoned their homes and moved to other states." So the answer is YES, this is a fictional story based on a real event.
Andie and Anson are new to the FBI field. Recently graduated from the Academy, their first mission is in California. The job is to unmask Russian Spies who have infiltrated and stolen plans for the newest Stealth Bomber. The FBI Chief gives the couple a beautiful home across the street from the spy and his family, allowing Anson to carpool with his neighbor to work. Their cover is that they are a newlywed Mormon couple.
Now, if you have ever been a convert, you know how easy it is to misunderstand that "different" vernacular of LDS people. So how would you like to be thrown into an undercover position without a Mormon jargon translation book? This causes some misunderstandings which have actually occurred in convert's lives. The funniest scene is probably trying to have an intelligent discussion with the Bishop. Nothing gets past him.

Harriet Heads for Hollywood
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgPDKnnftFI
This is a silly kids' book written to teach my children to give to others instead of "taking" all the time. Hey, it worked. They are all amazing people so maybe Harriet had a hand in that.
Harriet is a Horse who does not hide her talents under a bushel. She is the entertainment of the barnyard. The Farmer does not want her to go off to try to be on Animal Star Search.
He decides to give her some perks of the job. That's not good enough. Her friends give her the Farmer's tractor and help her with directions to a little town in California called Newbury Park. She can stay with the Owl's cousin and his family while she auditions. The problem is, she never learned to read. He helps her learn the word N E W so that whenever she sees that, she will stop. She ends up going all over America in search of her goal, by giving service to others and helping them reach their goals instead. It's a rewarding life that she is living and it gives her time to rethink what she really wants to do in this life.
This book teaches others about selfless service - it's not just another silly horse story. Just read it and laugh...then read it to your youth and they will learn.
