Kasperbauer, Carmen_Z26_WAPA-246_WAPA 4170_OralHist_Audio_transcript.pdf. Carmen Artaro [sp?] Kasperbauer was dressed as an angel for the feast of the Immaculate Conception on Monday, December 8, 1941, when the Japanese attacked Guam. She was six years old and attending mass with her older sister Maria and her father. They heard a lot of airplanes and later an explosion. The priest let them go when they did not hear more planes approaching. Everybody was screaming and running, and the girls lost track of their father but were found by their aunt, who took them home. Their father and mother and siblings were sitting in their truck filled with household goods. Carmen thought her father had abandoned them and did not learn until after the war that he had asked her aunt to look after her so he could run home to her mother and siblings and get ready. As they drove the truck, people were hanging onto it, and Carmen’s father had to fight them off.

They stayed in their aunt’s house on the family ranch for the rest of the war. It had no electricity and no running water and an outhouse. Occasionally they went to Agana and stayed at their own home. Carmen recalls that people had to get out of their trucks and bow deeply to the Japanese guards, and if they did not bow properly they would be punished. On one trip, Carmen’s mother was carrying a letter from George Tweed to Mrs. Johnston and was afraid she would be searched. At the beginning of the war there was enough food, but eventually things got harder. The Japanese would pass by their house on the way to the lighthouse they were building, and they would usually try to come during mealtime and would chase the family off the table and eat the food. When Carmen’s family saw the Japanese coming, her mother would keep the baby and smaller kids near her because she thought that would protect her from being raped or molested, and the older children would go hide in the jungle.

Carmen remembers always being hungry on the ranch and watching her parents prepare food for her father to take to the jungle for George Tweed. She did not know whom it was for and resented it. She says it seemed like there were a lot of secretive things going on. Later her father started making fewer trips into the jungle and she began to help him carry the food, and they would have to be careful not to be seen by any Japanese. He would leave her in the jungle to gather something and told her he was taking the food to the Japanese in the nearby lighthouse, but she did not notice the contradiction. One time he left her for a long time in the jungle and she thought he was getting rid of her because there wasn’t enough food to feed everybody at home.

Carmen recalls another incident where she was playing and imitating a bird, saying “tweet, tweet, tweet,” and her mother told her never to say that and hit and kicked her. She thought her mother hated her and only later learned her mother was concerned that somebody would overhear and associate them with George Tweed.

Carmen says when her father first saw Tweed he decided to help him because he was gaunt and reminded him of Jesus Christ before he was crucified. Her father remembered learning the biblical saying “I am my brother’s keeper” and took Tweed in. A lot of people wanted to help save Tweed because of their belief in American democracy. Others were angry that Tweed had not turned himself in. While Tweed was hiding he did not know what the Chamorro people were thinking. The Japanese were interested in getting Tweed because he was the only radioman on the island, and they wanted his help to spy on U.S. military activity in the Pacific.

When the Americans were bombarding the island, Carmen’s dad took the last of the provisional food to Tweed’s cave and planned to tell him he couldn’t bring more food. Tweed had left a note that he had signaled an American ship and left the island. Carmen’s father returned to the ranch and the family planned to go to the Japanese concentration camp. As they were preparing to go, two Japanese came by, first to get another male relative and then to get Carmen’s father, under the guise of repayment for food from the ranch. Carmen ran and got a rifle or shotgun her father was hiding in a hollow tree. He refused to go with the Japanese and, after they left, took the family to Tweed’s cave. They remained there until August 8th, Carmen’s birthday, when Americans arrived and gave them a little food.

Perez, Juan Namaulea_Z36_WAPA-246_WAPA 4170_OralHist_Audio_public.mp3

Perez, Juan Namaulea_Z36_WAPA-246_WAPA 4170_OralHist_Audio_transcript.pdf. Juan Manuel Perez was 71 years old at the time of this interview. On December 8th, 1941, he was chief boatman for Pan American Airways. The upper manager told the maintenance crew that Pearl Harbor had been bombed and briefly told them what to do if a bomb was dropped, to lie down flat. Shortly after that shrapnel from a bomb hit Perez. He went home to pick up his family and went to the cave behind the church in Sumay with about half the residents in the area. After the planes left that afternoon he returned to work and found that the boat he operated was not hit. That night they heard the Japanese were ready to invade the island. Perez was picked up by the Japanese and held in Sumay for three days to train some of the crew on how to operate the boat. He tried to sabotage the boat and learned a week or two later that the transmission was not working.

Perez made some trips to steal dynamite and distributed it to friends and family to use it to fish. The last trip he made with two friends to steal dynamite, they got caught and threw sticks of dynamite in front of the guards, then jumped over a cliff and swam across the channel to escape. They successfully hid from the Japanese that day but were arrested the next day and taken to the barracks in Sumay, where they were interrogated and tortured. That night they were fed and watched a movie with the Japanese. The next day they were taken to Agana and watched a firing squad in the cemetery, but still would not confess. They were taken to court; Perez was sentenced to five years, one of his friends was sentenced to ten years, and the other friend was sentenced to ten years to life. The prison where they were held was damaged and they would usually escape at night and return by morning. They had small rations but got some help from civilians in the area.

This continuation of Juan Perez’s interview starts with him talking about how he wants his children to learn to forgive and not to forget.

Juan talks about being brought to Agat, to a camp where the local people were stationed. The following day, he went the 59 Battalion and spoke to Lieutenant Commander Jenkin and told him he knew where the Japanese Army are concentrating – where they are now. He was interviewed at Island Command in Apra and they filmed him as he spoke. He pointed to the area where he knew the Japanese were moving. Up in Yigo, by Dededo, going to the northwest field.

Juan explains how he was never able to return to his town, Sumay. When the Americans invaded the island, they were told that they made an arrangement for the people of Sumay to move to Ypan, but people of Sumay rejected that. They ended up in Santa Rita. Juan describes the beauty of Sumay before the war and tells about how the people in the town worked together and helped each other.

Grey seal (Halichoerus grypus), Fire Island National Seashore, 2015.. The grey seal goes by many names, including Atlantic seal, gray seal and horsehead seal. Today, it isn't unusual to see a healthy seal like this pup resting on the beach for hours at a time. In the past, however, grey seals were hunted nearly to extinction. According to a survey of the entire Maine coast conducted in 1972, only 30 grey seals remained. It was in that year that Congress passed the Marine Mammal Protection Act, preventing the harming or harrassing of all marine mammals, including seals. Since the passing of this act, sightings of grey seals have increased. These animals are still federally-protected and should be left alone. However, if you see an injured animal, call the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation hotline 631-369-9829.

Mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), City of Rocks National Reserve, 2015.. The mourning dove is one of the most abundant and widespread North American birds. It's also the leading gamebird, with over 20 million birds shot annually. Its ability to sustain the population under such pressure is due to it's unusually-prolific breeding: in warm areas, one pair may raise six broods per year! The mourning dove is a strong flier, reaching speeds up to 55 mph (88 kph).
