12/7/41: I guess that I must really be old (78) compared to the rest
of you folks! I even remember Pearl Harbor! I was 10 years old, in the
fifth grade when it happened. I don't remember much about what my
folks had to say about it that Sunday, but the next morning in school
our teacher immediately pointed it out. She said, in effect, that
something terrible had occurred and that a horrible war was going to
happen. I also recall that a year or so before that our teacher told
us about how sad and awful it was that the Germans had burned all
their books. I guess us kids didn't really get the import of that at
the time.
