 Yeah, I was home. I had a friend that was her birthday and I was going to her house for to take her birthday present and Was heading down Bard War Boulevard and I heard this on the car radio and I Thought where the heck is Pearl Harbor? I had never even heard Pearl Harbor Never heard of it And it never dawned on me how it would change our lives so completely But of course it did Everybody remembers where they were when they heard this and of course the draft had already started so all of the Men students were enlisted in the draft and they went around with their Radios portable radios all the time listening try to keep up to date see whether they were being called up or could they finish their course And if they were ROTC then they did of course get to finish Somebody came in and said how about somebody doing a spreadsheet on all the messages for the last month or two So I wasn't doing anything. I said I'll do that. So I did and we got messages dozens of them Day after day after day and we put them all on a chart and all of a sudden this one stood out at the bottom It was for us it was Came it through about 1130, but it was probably 730 their time whatever Giving the weather in the Bay of Biscay and the Germans had gotten careless They didn't bother to recode like they should have done. They didn't bother with the dummy words They didn't do and they worded the message every night the same way the weather in the Bay of Biscay until Sunday Monday Tuesday whatever day it will be and that was enough of a crib to break the traffic that we had to wait till Night before we could get the get the word through on that But that was that was our biggest help and the only time that didn't work They were exactly the same every night. All we had to do was change the day from Montau to You know Sontau whatever was They spelled this game with a K at one point and we couldn't get we couldn't break the traffic that day After the war was over and everything was open and clear We checked back and we found out that was why we couldn't couldn't do it that day Yeah, I was a commuting student for three years the last year I stayed at the dorm and that was that was great. I realized then what I had been missing all the way along the line But by the time you Waited for streetcars and changed cars and got there and got home at night and did your homework There wasn't any time for anything. You couldn't do anything at night. It was to there was just too much So I didn't really feel part of of the student body as much as I would that last year That was really really great staying in the dorm then you could do most anything you got to meet all kinds of other students and Do things at night which you couldn't do before and nobody drove Students didn't have cars in those days Imagine going down Frew Street and there wasn't a car park there It's just that now you hope to get a parking place within a mile of the school if you're lucky And I'm just amazed at the traffic around the school. We didn't have that We just had the little library called the hut, which was on the cut the campus and the first Charitable thing I did after I graduated was donate five dollars toward the hunt library and A week later. I saw in the paper that hunt had donated I don't know what millions of dollars for the new library. I thought see my five dollars really Really was not noticeable. I'm sure But that was my first charitable alumni contribution to the school Having used the library later on It's wonderful. I'm sure they've improved it since then since I was there I Went back in the 40s and to get my teaching certification. It's been a lot of time in the library. I Was very very impressed
