This is Ron Marcello interviewing Joe Turner for the
University of North Texas Oral History Collection.
The interview is taking place on September 19, 1989,
in Plano, Texas. I'm interviewing Mr. Turner in
order to get his reminiscences and experiences while
he was aboard the destroyer tender USS Dobbin during
the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7,
1941.
Mr. Turner, 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--that kind of information.

Where were you born?
Merryville, Louisiana.
Tell me a little bit about your education.
I went from the first grade through the fifth in
Merryville, Louisiana. Then we moved over into East
Texas, over around Buna, when I was thirteen years
