Ernesto Olguin

I traveled to a beach house on the Peninsula de Lacuy on the Isla Grande de Chiloe, Chile recently to speak with Ernesto Olguin. Olguin was on the USS Saratoga during the "Honolulu Conference." He describes it more and an ambush instead of a conference. The purpose of this "conference" was to exchange tactics and techniques regarding the Zombie War. On the first day, arguments erupted after the American ambassador spoke. He wanted to go on the offensive and eliminate all zombies on Earth. Other countries began arguing with one another and Olguin describes the different sides of the argument. One side wanted to wait the zombies out and let them decompose while the others wanted to go on the offensive. After that, the American president began to spoke and called for a recess and said they would vote on his proposal after the recess. Since he was part of the crew, he was not allowed to vote and went outside with a man from France and a man from South Africa. He tried to keep off the topic of war to avoid arguments but it didn't work in the end. He found that they all had some connection to wine vineyards. They talked about wine and how their vineyard was destroyed because of the war. Commander Emile Renard pulls out a bottle of wine fro 1964 and they open it up and drink it. Olguin then describes the vote and how it was 17 No and 31 Yes. The choice was to go on the offensive. I found Olguin's story interesting, but I wish we could have talked more about his experiences during the Zombie War.
