How Many Remembered
What Happened on Dec. 7?
By JAMES MARLOW
Washington, Dec. 8 (P) Eight years ago yesterday I went
fishing with an elegant gentleman named Cleveland Sessums.
He had a black mustache, a gentle manner, and a wonderful
knowledge of music and Elizabethan literature.
We were both working in Louisiana then.
Twice a week
we went fishing
together, s u m
mer, fall and
winter. We
knew the bay
ous around New
Orleans the way
some people
know their way
around their liv
ing rooms.
It was beauti
ful back in the
bayou country in the winter.
The grass was down to a nub,
and we could see the muskrat
mounds that had been hidden
by the tall grass in the sum
mer. And once in a while, miles
up a bayou with no house in
sight, we came across the broken
and abandoned hut of a trapper.
The ducks were down In win
ter and lay like a dark carpet,
thousands of them, on the quiet
waten of the lagoons. But it
was black bass we liked and we
let the ducks alone, although
sometimes we kicked over the
outboard motor just to see them
rise and go.
Jamei Mtrlow
It was cold on that day eight
.years ago yesterday, down to
around 35 degrees, as I remem
ber. Around 4:30 in the after
noon we went back to the fish
ing camp and tied the boat to
the dock.
The little man we never
knew his name and all we knew
about him was that he worked
for Sam, the fat man who owned
the camp and rented the boats
came down to meet us. We had
no fish.
The little man pointed to the
clear water around the boats.
"Perch," he said. "You didn't
get any bass. You might get
some perch." He had a pole
with him. He and Cleveland
and I fished till dark in the cold
water. Then we walked up the
road to the camp to get coffee.
A radio was going on the shelf
beside the counter. Two other
fishermen, strangers, were fac
ing the radio, standing still.
Sam was behind the counter,
watching the radio. "A couple
of coffees," we said.
Sam put up his hand, palm
out, to keep quiet. He pointed
with this thumb to the radio.
The announcer was saying
something about the battleship
Arizona being sunk. He said
some more things. He said some
thing about the Japanese attack
ing Pearl Harbor.
"Coffee," I told Sam. "What's
that business about the Japan
ese?" Cleveland and I weren't lis
tening to the radio any more.
We were taking off our sweat
ers. "What's that stuff?" I said.
Without looking at us, Sam
said, "That's facts he's telling us.
The Japanese attacked Pearl
Harbor." One of the strangers
turned around and looked at us.
"That's the truth, Jack," he said.
Suddenly we saw the tenseness
in Sam and the strangers. And
suddenly Cleveland and I knew
it was true.
The man on the radio was
pouring out more disaster. We
looked for the little man. He
was behind the counter with Sam
now. The radio announcer said
the attack had happened hours
ago.
"Did you know about this
when you came down to the
dock?" Cleveland asked the little
man.
"Yes," he said.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
Cleveland said.
"I guess I just forgot about it,"
the little man said. "I guess I
was just thinking of perch."
Cleveland and I went, out and
got into the car and drove back
to the city. How could anyone,
then or eight years later, forget
Pearl Harbor and DecembeV 7?
' .
But Tuesday night when I sat
down to write my piece, under
yesterday's dateline, I started out
"Washington, Dec. 7 . . . " and
suddenly I remembered what day
it was.
Later I went around asking a
naif dozen men: "You know what
date today is?" Each in turn
said "December 7."
I said, "You know what an
niversary it is?" One by one
they said "No." "Pearl Har
bor," I said. And one by one
they said "It is at that" or "Sure
enough." . They were surprised
they had forgotten, just as I was.
Some of them were veterans.
The last one I spoke to had
served out the war in the navy.
He was doubly surprised to think
December 7 was the anniversary
of Pearl Harbor. He said he
thought it was December 5.
