Mr. Cory:Dr. Marcello:
Date: December 21, 1976
This is Ron Marcello interviewing James Cory for the
North Texas State University Oral History Collection.
The interview is taking place on December 21, 1976, in
Dallas, Texas. I'm interviewing Mr. Cory in order to
get his reminiscences and experiences and impressions
while he was stationed aboard the battleship USS Arizona
during the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7,
1941. Mr. Cory was a member of the Marine detachment
aboard the Arizona.
Mr. Cory, to begin this interview, just very briefly
give me a biographical sketch of yourself. In other
words, tell me when you were born, where you were born,
your education--things of that nature. Just be very brief
and general.
I was born in Dallas at what was then St. Paul's Sanitarium.
It's now destroyed--used to be over on Bryan Street.
I was educated in the public schools of the city; my post-
war education was at SMU, majoring in history.
When were you born?
