This is Ron Marcello interviewing Louis Roffman for the
North Texas State University Oral Histroy Collection.
The interview is taking place on December 8, 1980, in
Orlando, Florida, I'm interviewing Mr. Roffman in
order to get his reminiscenses, experiences, and impres-
sions while he was a member of 31st Bombardment Squadron
at Hickam Field during the Japanese attack there on
December 7, 1941.
Mr. Roffman, to being 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 on February 22, 1922. I was born in New York
City, and I graduated from high school in New York City.
I joined the Army, was sent on over to Hawaii, and went
on over to the 31st Bomb Squadron.
When did you join?
I joined the Army in 1936.
That must have been before you were even out of high school.
