Mynila BillingsleyInterviewer: Dr. Ronald E. Marcello
Place of Interview: San Antonio, TexasDr. Marcello:
Mrs. Billingsley:Date: October 13, 1977
This is Ron Marcello interviewing Mrs. Mynila
Billingsley for the North Texas State University Oral
History Collection. The interview is taking place on
October 13, 1977, in San Antonio, Texas. I'm inter-
viewing Mrs. Billingsley in order to get her reminis-
cences and experiences and impressions while she was
at Kaneohe Naval Air Station with her husband,
Lieutenant Commander Oliver Billingsley, on December 7,
1941, during the Japanese attack there.
Now Mrs. Billingsley, to begin this interview,
would you 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.
Well, I was born in Texas near a town called Menard,
Texas. I was born on December 13, 1903. I lived there
until I was about three years old, and I moved up near
Brownwood, Texas, where I lived until I married.
