Transcript Cravero This is Geoffrey Cravero and I’m conducting an oral history with Sumner Hutcheson. The interview is being conducted at Trevor Colbourn Hall at the University of Central Florida on Monday, September 15th, 2025. Mr. Hutcheson, thank you for speaking with us today. If you’d begin, uh, please by stating your full name and telling us a bit about where you’re from and what life was like for you growing up. Hutcheson Surely. Um, thanks for the opportunity, first of all, to be here and to talk a little bit about my family. Um, I grew up, uh—I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, in a community that was often referred to as Brown Sub . Although I was born in Overtown . Overtown was the Black community, um, in, uh, Miami that actually was very rich because the community involved everything from single family homes to what they used to call Good Bread Alley, which was not so pleasant [laughs] in terms of the area. But Good Bread Alley was named that because they used to bake bread in that area. And the smell created that. But I grew up, um, in, um, uh—in—in Brownsville. But my family’s businesses—my father was a, uh, first of all, an appliance owner. He had Hutcheson Home Appliance Store on Third Avenue and, uh, Overtown. And my mother was a beautician. So, my mother had her own beauty shop there in Overtown as well. So, um, as in—during my early life, one of the things that was really a great experience for me was being able to, um, enjoy, um, looking at, um, the Butterball . That was a DJ that actually was on WMBM . It was about two doors down from my dad’s, um, appliance store around a glass, uh, enclosure. So, it’s like, um—let’s say like, um, The Today Show , where, you know, people can look in while the DJ was spinning the records. And that was fun as a kid. But even more importantly, uh, because my father had a record store as a part of his, um, uh, appliance store, uh, many times, um, Black artists, many of who[sic] which came to Miami, they would, uh, go to Miami Beach and entertain at the hotels and the like in that particular area. But then, they would come, uh, and live over town because they couldn’t live. Uh, and so sometimes those individuals would come to my father’s record store to sign autographs. And so, um, a lot of folk came in. I—I got s—see, um, when I was a little kid, Aretha Franklin , when her father, uh—when they came in town. But she was like a teenager at that point. Um, and, um, I got to see her. But the one I missed that I loved most was Nat King Cole . I used to think he was a fabulous singer. But my father was not able to get in touch with us. We didn’t have cell phones back in those days [laughs]. So, my father was not able to get in touch with, uh, my mom to, um—to bring me over while Nat was there. So, by the time she, um, uh—we were able to, um, get over town, he had already left. But, you know, they used to stay at the St. Elizabeth Hotel , uh, many times there in Overtown. Or some of the other hotels, ‘cause, you know, there was actually a thriving community. Overtown. I—I thought that, you know, people will walk the streets and drive up and down the streets and—and so, you know, there was really a lot of interesting situations in Overtown. Hutcheson And, as I shared with you earlier, even though I wasn’t aware of this un—until I was told this by, uh, the family members, Marcus Garvey used to come to town quite often. And when he came, you know, he was on his back-to-Africa movement . My grandfather, who was a pastor—that was the first Sumner Hutcheson . I’m Sumner Hutcheson III and he was the first Sumner Hutcheson. And he would, um, uh, march with Marcus Garvey in their white outfits on the stand down Third Avenue on usually Saturday or Sunday afternoons. Um, so Marcus was, uh, quite influential in terms of community. And I think it was primarily because, um, most of Overtown at that point was made up of families from the Bahamas. Well, that’s where my grandfather came from. My grandfather was actually born in the Bahamas. Um, he actually, um, came to the United States, uh, because of some family dispute over a girlfriend or a wife or something [laughs]. So, he came to, uh, the Bahamas, uh—come—came from the Bahamas. He was born in Eleuthera. On the island of Eleuthera. In a town called Hatchet Bay or Alice Town. And then, he went to Nassau to teach school. And then, he left there and moved to Miami. Uh, he eventually worked his way down to the Florida Keys—through the Florida Keys down to Key West. Well, he got married and that’s where my father was born. So, my—I still have many of my family and relatives, um, living in Key West, who, um—who are primarily there. And a part of my grandmother’s side of the family. Hutcheson But they eventually—their—their family moved back to Miami. And, uh, when, uh, they came back to Miami, they really, um, were doing all sorts of businesses. My grandfather owned a sundry, uh, as—as they were called back in those days. But he was also a reverend. So, he was a pastor. And he was a good teacher. So many times, I was told, that he would spend his Sunday afternoons on the porch. Always in his three-piece outfit. My grandfather never appeared outside the house, from what I understand, without a three-piece suit on. And, um, he would be on the porch training other pastors, along with Reverend Curtis and, um—Enid Curtis Johnson , who was, a, uh, good friend of the family’s. And just passed in her nineties just recently. She and her father and my grandfather would spend time together there and they would train other persons. My grandfather eventually built a rooming house, as it was called. And on top of the rooming house, there was a, um—the family quarters. So, they had family quarters and they had a 16-room rooming house on the bottom. And many times, people who came in from the Bahamas would stay there maybe temporarily. In fact, I still have some copies of the receipts. I forgot. It was very, very cheap {laughs] that they used to stay. I still have some copies of those at home, where my father kept them. And so, I’ve kept them. And so, um [smacks lips], my father, um [smacks lips], had lots of businesses. He—he was not only in, um, the—in the appliance business. He eventually closed his appliance store and decided to become a real estate broker. He was one of the first registered real estate brokers—Black—in the state of Florida. Because at one time, real estate folks were selling swampland [laughs] in—in—in Florida. And so, um, my father, who was born in 1905, um, to—and my mother, as I mentioned, who was a beautician, got married in 1935, um, there in Miami. And, um, as you could probably—if you add up all of those things, you probably think, well, wait a minute. Something is not right in terms of me. I’m 75 now, but, um, the reality is that, um, my parents were married for about 16, 17 years before I was born. And then, my sister came along about four years later. And I have a sister by the name of Pamela. And she’s that—she’s still a Hutcheson. So, she’s Pamela Hutcheson, who, um, I’m very proud of my sister. Because, um, she’s done a lot of really great things in her life. Um, had to cut—had to overcome some obstacles with drugs and the like. But eventually went into the McDonald’s business. And actually owned five franchises before she retired. So, I’m very proud of her. So, uh, but anyway, back to my dad. My dad, um [smacks lips], then went into the real estate business with the—with the help of a gentleman by the name of Mr. Songer[sp]. Mr. Songer[sp] was a Jewish gentleman, who my father established a relationship with. And, um, they, um, worked together to, um, help him get his real estate license. And he opened then Hutcheson Realty. Uh, and then he used to sell houses. Primarily in the Brown Sub, or Brownsville. Hutcheson I—I always get that mixed up now. Because we always called it Brown Sub. And so, now they call it Brownsville—but—community. So, that was the area he sort of farmed, if you will [clears throat]. The interesting thing about Brown Subdivision was that it was actually originally a—a large farm owned by a gentleman by the name of Mr. Brown . And it was his subdivision. And when the, uh, county of Dade decided to carve out that community and they called it homeowners paradise. But for ten years, they couldn’t decide whether that community would be white or Black. So, it took them a long time to actually, uh, make that decision. So, they finally made the decision that it would be a Black community. And so, we were one of the first, um, um, uh, families to move out there in 1950. My dad built his own home in 1950, uh, moving from Overtown and moving out to Brown Sub. And, um, I, you know—when we get a chance, I’ll show you some of the pictures. I actually still have pictures even of the house before it was actually, um—we actually move into it. Because they had to do it for permitting and tax purposes. They would look at the house and make a decision on what it would be taxed. But, um, it was, uh—it was really a lot of fun growing up in that community as well. Um, and one of the things that was really fascinating about that particular community is that while, um, people started moving to Brown Sub, and it started developing, and moved into homeowners paradise is the area that it was plotted as, um, they would, uh—a lot of professional people lived in that community. So, my teachers. Most of my teachers lived in the neighborhood. Uh, most of the doctors in the community lived in that neighborhood. Most of the Black dentists lived in that community. Some of them still having their businesses over town, uh, with the business section of that area, as my father did. But, um, would have, um, you know, just have their—their life over there because they could build single-family homes, um, on land that was actually pretty interesting. I—I remember people used to tease my dad and tell my father he moved into the Everglades. Now, you’re from Miami, so you know Northwest 7th Avenue used to be the edge of the Everglades. That’s what they used to say. So—so [laughs] they—sometimes I—some of my dad’s professional friends used to always tease him. “Why you moving out there in the Everglades?” And then, they eventually—they would come out because my dad would, uh, encourage them to come out and look at homes. In fact, um, in our community, we had some really outstanding people. And, um, one of these days, I’m going to write a book about it because I really honestly believe that in the number of people who, um, not only grew up in that community, they produced, um, uh, children who really professionally did very, very well. Um, from actors to, um, managers to—in fact, my, uh, doctor here in Orlando is—I grew up with him in—in Brown Sub. Didn’t know who he was until—when I moved here, you know, as CEO of the American Red Cross. And I’ll talk about my history in the Red Cross in a minute. But, um, there were a lot of professionals that lived in that community. So, we had some outstanding role models. As we saw, you know, teachers who used to buy new cars every year. I used to think that was kind of fascinating. Boy, you can buy a new car every year. And they used to always talk about our house because our house had a garage, which a lot of people didn’t. And we had two cars. And a lot people were like, “Wow. You have two cars [laughs]?” You know, so I used to get kind of ribbed about that quite a bit when I was in elementary school that, you know, you all drive. Your—your family’s got two cars. But my parents were both in their own business. And my mother’s real—um, beauty business was doing very well. She did—she did—she did hair. And, you know, a lot of Black folks used to come there and get their hair done. And so, she had a really thriving business. In fact, she did a lot better sometimes than my dad did because his business was, um, you know—real estate business can be off an on. So, it can be better and worse. And he owned his own firm. He wasn’t a—a member of the KAI Family or the—the Coldwell Banker as they are now. And those kinds of companies. But so, he had his own company. So, um, you know, he had to struggle sometimes in terms of trying to manage. But we—we were—we were blessed. We were truly blessed. We were a truly blessed family. And, unfortunately, going back to my grandfather, he died when I was eight years old. So, I didn’t really get to know him very, very well, unfortunately. Um, and I wish I had because I hear so many great stories about him. From his teaching to his—to his entrepreneurship. In fact, um, I used to have a good friend of mine who used to call the house and the area that he owned over town “the Hutcheson Compound” because it not only included that home, as I mentioned the rooming house with the family house on top, but it also included a mango grove on the side. So, it was large, large properties that he had there. My—my—my family's always been kind of entrepreneurial. I—I don't—I don’t know how I got just in social services and like [laughs]—but, uh—but, you know, they we—they were pretty entrepreneurial. Hutcheson So, anyway, um—so, my sister and I grew up in Brown Sub. And, um, we were pretty, um, blessed to be in that community, as I said, because that community, um, uh, had a lot of people who—who were very good at their professions. Um, the principal of my elementary school. Um, there was a—a very extraordinary, um, nursery school or, uh, daycare kind of program run by a woman by the name of Ida Jackson down the street a block from my house. And it was called Jackson Toddle Inn . And it was amazing. Mrs. Jackson, even—I didn't go there, but, uh, my sister did. And Miss Jackson had a very unique teaching style. She used to use a bolo bat, you know, that she used to—I don't know if you know what a bolo—you probably don't know what a bolo bat is, but it's a—it's a piece of wood with a string on it that's elastic. An elastic piece. And it has a ball on the end. So, you—so she used to take that apart and she would teach with it. So, she would hit on the side of her chair and she taught [taps table] John [taps table] and [taps table] Mary [taps table] said [taps table] go. You know? And that's the way she would teach. And it was interesting because most of the people came out of her school like my sister, who was extraordinary. Let me kind of share that story with you a little bit. Um, my sister went to, uh, Jackson Toddle Inn. And, um, once, um, she finished Jackson Toddle Inn, um, they used to have an entrance exam before you went into the public school system. But when my sister, uh, went in and took the examination, she, um, uh, had a, um—she—in other words, when they—they—they graded her. And when they graded her, it was at a sixth-grade level. So, they were—oh, you know, Black teachers in a segregated school system, they were like, oh we—oh, man, yes. We got to put this six-year-old in the sixth grade. And my father was, "Oh, no. That's not gonna happen. I'm not putting my daughter." And so, they went back and forth for a couple of weeks. And they finally decided to put her in the third grade. So, I have a sister who, um, like me, graduated from Bethune-Cookman , but she graduated, uh, from high school at 15, went through college in three years and graduated from college at Bethune-Cookman at 18. So [laughs]—so she was—she was always the smart one in the family [laughs], you know, like. So, anyway, um—but I—I'm very proud, as you can tell. I'm very, very proud of my family and the many things that we've accomplished. Um, my father went to Mrs. Bethune's school. And I want to—I'm going to switch to that. So, I'm kind of going back and forth a little bit. But it—let me go back because, you know, you—you may not be aware. Uh, growing up as a kid in the twenties, you could only go to eighth grade because that's the only—they stopped school for Black kids at eighth grade. So, my father comes out of the eight grade and, um, he—and, you know, he's—he's stuck. He wants—but his father doesn't want him—his father wants him to go on. And so, he enrolled in Mrs. Bethune's school. And, uh, Mrs. Bethune, um, used to spend a lot of time in and out of Miami recruiting students and the like. And so, he went to Mrs. Bethune's school. And in 1923, while she was—while he was at that school and it was just becoming co-educational because it originally started with five little girls and—and there was a bunch of girls that she taught. But she eventually, uh, developed a co-educational program. Well, he went there and he was on the first football team in 1923. And, by the way, that team is going to be inducted into—to the Bethune-Cookman Athletic Hall of Fame this weekend. So, I'm really excited about that. But that team, um—and it's so fascinating because here at UCF is where I did most of my research to find information on their archives here about the team. Uh, and I have some photographs of that—of the team as well. Uh, he was a running back and a defensive back. There were only 15 members of the team. So [laughs]—and he used to always say that Mrs. Bethune named them the Wildcats. And, um, she [laughs] actually many times would come out and—and be the assistant coach, uh, while [laughs]—while the team was being, um—while the team was practicing. Um, they used to travel around. They traveled to Miami. They traveled places in Alabama. Um, and—but Miss Bethune really had an outstanding program there as well. You know it’s Bethune-Cookman University now. And, of course, my sister and I ended up going there as well. Didn't plan to. Somehow that just happened. But my father used to talk about Miss Bethune so much. And she used to come by our house when she was in Miami, uh, because she loved my dad so much. Now, of course, I was a little kid. So, I only have just brief kind of glimpses of that. ‘Cause she died, I think, when I was about five or six years old. But she used to come by all the time and see my dad. Um, and so, uh, my dad is very, very fond of Miss Bethune, and Miss Bethune is very fond of him. Hutcheson Uh, one of the stories I'm going to tell, uh, about the power of Mary McLeod Bethune. I mean, I could sit here all day talk about Mary McLeoad Bethune. But one of the things that I am going to talk about this weekend as they go into—go into the Hall of Fame, and I'm probably one of the few children or grandchildren that they're able to find now. But, uh, my sister and I will be there and, um, one of the stories that's always so fascinating to me. You know, I came, um, through college during the Black power movement. You know, we were about Black power [laughs]. And so, this particular story always resonated with me. Because when my father used to tell me, I used to—oh gosh, I used to be so angry sometimes. Um, he, um, said they had to borrow a school bus in 1924, I think it was. So, you can imagine that must have been a little rickety bus and it only had a little one—one stop light. And they were driving through some dirt roads in Alabama going to play a game. They had been driving all night, and they got stopped by a sheriff dep—deputy. The sheriff deputy, as he came, uh, out of his car and, uh, he broke the light. And he went up and told the coach, who was driving the bus, "Do you know you have a broken light? You can't drive through our community, uh, with a broken light.” And, you know, some of the players tried to tell but they had to be quiet, you know, that—that light—he broke the light. But he said, “Okay.” Well, you have—there's—there's going to be a fine. You either have to pay the fine or all you guys—all you boys are going—boys are going to jail. Okay? So, unfortunately, the coach did not have any money. He actually made them follow him in and—and—and actually put the whole team in jail. So, somehow the coach was able to get like communications back to Mrs. Bethune and tell her what happened. Few hours later, the sheriff came and unlocked the jail cell and said, "Okay, you boys can get back in your—in—back in your bus now. Um, and I don't know who that Black woman is that, uh…” Probably called her something else. “Uh, Black woman is. Boy, she has to be mighty powerful if she gets you out of my jail.” And somehow she arranged to get them out so they could continue on their travels. Of course, um, he—even she evidently arranged for him because when they got back to the—to the vehicle, they found that the light was repaired. And the one light [laughs] was repaired. Again, I can tell you tons of stories about Mary McLeod Bethune. And my dad's experience. And being with her. And like she was a quite a powerful person in our history of the United States. She really was—has now what? Three statues around? Four statues. One in Lincoln Park in Washington DC run by the National Park Service. One at the US Capitol representing the State of Florida. That was done just recently. Um, last few years. Um, there's one in Daytona Beach, that's exact opp—um, the exact, uh, statue. The one in Lin—um, in, um, Daytona Beach is made out of bronze. But the one at the Capitol is made out of, um, [taps table] what is it, ivory? Yeah, I guess it is. Yeah. So, anyway, um—so, the same, um, sculpturer did both statues. And then, there's actually one on the campus of Bethune-Cookman. So, it's just a powerful, powerful person, you know, and—and the like. But kind of getting back to the family, um, my dad did well in real estate. In fact, um, he had a lot of very, very close friends in the Jewish community, um, that I think were very positive in helping him expand his businesses and help him, uh, grow his business, especially in real estate. In fact, he even owned some acreage down in the Everglades at one time called Dreamland Estates. He and Mr. Fuller. Mr. Fuller was one of his business partners, who was hi wo—a guy who was Jewish, who was in Miami Beach. And my father used to do business with him. And, uh, they had this property. And then, eventually the government came in and unfort—and—and fortunately bought it all up because they needed to put some new waterways through the Everglades and the like. So, they ended up buying it all. And so, that was quite profitable for—for Mr. Fuller and for my dad. And—and my dad took that opportunity to retire from his real estate business. And my mom did exactly the same thing. She retired from her be—beauty business. And, um, they were able to live a good life for a few years before my mom passed at an early age of 62, which is really unfortunate. But, um, uh, my dad went on and, um—and enjoyed the rest of his life. And—and I think he lived until 74. So, um, uh, I'm very proud of my parents. I—they—they did a really good job with us. Um, and one of the things I learned from my dad, and I guess he got it from his grandfather, was that Black people in this country can do anything. They want to do it, they can do anything. He told me, "Don't ever, ever let that, um—the fact that you're African-American or Black, we were called that, you know, the names have just changed over the years [laughs]. That you were Negro. That you were from colored to Negro to—to Black to African-American. Um, don't ever let the color of your skin hold you back. And so, I remember I used to swim competition in high school and college. And I went to Miami Jackson High School . You probably know Miami Jackson, uh, Senior High School. Well, when I went there, it was all white. There were a few Blacks who were there before us, but we became what they called “the big experiment” in Miami Day County in terms of school systems. So, they brought in this, uh, very experienced, uh, white principal. His name was Mr. Burroughs. I will never forget him because he was really a great man. Uh, and they, uh, brought in some special teachers and they even bought some teachers from my segregated junior high school to, um—to, uh, um, uh, work at Miami Jackson. To integrate fully Miami Jackson. They also brought some, um, students in from Dorsey Junior High School , which is in the Black community and kind of further northwest. They brought them in. And so, we were a part of this great experience. Um, the experience was really, uh, for the most part, very positive. But I remember my swim coach one day made the comment that Black men and Black girls don't swim as good as white women and white men because they're not as buoyant. They can't stay on top of the water. And I came home and told my dad that. He said, "What did he say? He told you that?" He said, "Sumner, don't you believe that." You know, we couldn't Google it [laughs]. So, he said, "Don't you ever believe anything like that. Okay?” That is the kind of thing that's always been something that has held African Americans back. Being told those kind—or Black people back. Um, and so the next day when we pulled up to Manor Park Pool, where we used to do our swim practice, my dad's car was sitting in the park. And I said, "Oh my God, I know this is going to be interesting." And so, my dad got out the car, and he told Mr. Helmers, who was the, um, swim coach, he said, "May I speak to you?" Uh, I know that my dad wore him out about telling us that story, okay? Because he came back as we were doing our warm-up practices. We just went in the pool inside just as he—because he—my dad kind of held him for a while. So, we just did our warm-ups and then he told us to come and sit down. And he said, "I made a statement yesterday to you all and Mr. Hutcheson came and—and—and talked to me about that. And I will never ever make that statement again ‘cause that is obviously something that I was told and I believed it. And it—it—it probably is not true.” ‘Cause my sister, now she was a really great swimmer. I was an average swimmer, but my sister was a great swimmer. She used to be in the county competitions and all of that. Uh, so, obviously, that was not at all true. But the problem was—is that many of the students, um, as soon as we, um—the school was integrated, they left the community. They—they went Coral Gables and Miami High and some other schools. They just—they—they took off, you know. So, I went into school when we were just a very small percentage in 10th grade at Miami Jackson. By the time I graduated, uh, we were the majority because many of the white students—but there also a lot of Latino students there. A lot of Cuban students. Primarily Cuban students who were there as well. So—and, uh, we—we all s—we got along. We had a good time. We used to have a lot of fun there and the like. And, um, I was really blessed because, um, I found out later in—in learning about my family history that my father grew up in the Latino community in Key West. You know, that community was primarily, uh, very mixed. You know, people used to go back and forth to Cuba and—and—and Tampa and the Bahamas. That used to be like the trading routes in the Americas, that part. And so, um, one day my father told us that he was going to be taking us with him back to Key West. We used to go to Key West all the time. I mean, we used to go Key West at least once a month ‘cause my dad love to fish. And my foo—my sister-in-law and I love to fish. So, we go down there all the time, too. But we, um, went to Key West. And he was telling us that he was going to get —try to find a birth certificate for his aunt because he—she wanted to send her children from Cuba where they live back to the United States. And, um, I mean it wasn't significant to me, you know. That was during the sixties and the Cuban Missile Crisis was going on. I remember one of our trips down to Key West. We were going down US1 and there were missile silos on the beaches off of the Keys. because, you know, they were really serious. That got to be a really big crisis with Cuba at the time. But anyway, so one of my cousins was able to come out of Cuba. And when she came to our home, we had to—she had to stay with us for two years because that's the requirement of, uh, Cuban-Americans coming to—I mean Cubans coming to the United States. And she does—she did not speak a word of English. Okay? So, we're sitting at the dinner table. I mean, we were very formal, my family, sitting at the table having breakfast one morning. And a parakeet is flying around ‘cause he—my daddy used to let him out and he would fly around [laughs] and then he would sit on his head. But my [laughs]—my cousin used to think that was so strange. So, she started talking to my father one morning in Spanish. And my father started telling us what she was saying [chair squeaks]. I was like, "Dad, you speak Spanish?" He said, "No, I don't speak it, but I understand it. Because I grew up in a home where I spoke Spanish until I was 12 years old.” When we moved back to Miami, my dad used to make me wear a, um, top hat. That's what he called it. Made me and—and he used to make me wear a top hat. And I only spoke Spanish in the house ‘cause my grandfather spoke it. Evidently, he learned it. My grandmother learned it and spoke it. But—and they all—‘cause they all grew up in Key West, where they had a lot of Hispanic families who were mixed and—and the like. C—couple my aunts married Hispanic, uh, Cuban men and moved to Cuba. And like—so I was just fascinated. I was like, ”You know how to speak Spanish?” I mean I just all these years. I'm—I'm in junior high school at this point or middle school what they call it now. And I can't believe that my dad knows how to speak Spanish [laughs]. So—but anyway, um, that was a—that was quite an experience as well growing up with Sonia. So, she started teaching us Spanish. I picked it up a little bit. I—I, um, I picked it up a little bit. And, in fact, my son—my son, Sumner Hutcheson IV, I made sure that when he was in school in Miami, he taught with Spanish every year. Now he speaks Spanish fluently. So, they just missed my generation. They—my dad spoke Spanish evidently. I don't speak it that well. I can even get by, you know [knocks table]? And my, um—and my—my son speaks Spanish, um, quite well. So, again, um, you know, the culture of living in Miami-Dade, as it is now, still is very multicultural. You got a lot of people from a lot of different countries. And—but it certainly is not the place I grew up. Miami was a big little town. That's what I used to call—big little—no. A t—a town that was—yeah. A big little town. I mean, it was just a very interesting place to grow up in Miami. And, um, Brown Sub was an exciting place. And so, I came through high school and I went to Miami-Dade Community College. Then went to Bethune-Cookman and—and I had a really good experience. I was a student government officer at, uh, Bethune-Cookman. I participated in a lot of different organizations and activities on campus. Had a really good time. And then, I went to graduate school at Barry University in—in Miami with a master's degree in—in social work administration. Uh, in between that time, I started working as an intern at the American Red Cross. Uh, uh, well, 35 years later, I retired from the American Red Cross as a senior executive. I was everything from, um, a Red Cross, um—I worked in Miami as the—the youth’s director and then I went—I moved to the American Red Cross in Washington DC. I was the disaster director in Washington DC. And then, uh, I ran one of our service centers, or branch offices, in Washington DC. And when a new executive CEO came in, he made me his assistant CEO in Washington DC. And so, I just kept moving up the ladder in—in the Red Cross. I eventually worked as the CEO of the American Red Cross in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, or the Susquehanna Valley area. Um, I was CEO there. Uh, I worked, actually, as, um—as the vice president they call the regional executive officer. So, I had responsibility for managing and over being responsible for, um, uh, rechartering Red Cross chapters and everywhere from New Jersey all the way to West Virginia. So, I—I could tell you that could—now that's another hour of conversation there because that was a very interesting community. C—different communities from flying into West Virginia on little puddle jumpers, as we used to call them, to being in New Jersey, where they were threatening my life because [laughs] we wanted to do something that we needed to do. Um, and, um—but I worked for Mrs. Dole. Uh, Elizabeth Dole. She was president at the time. And so, I had a very good experience working for her, too. That was really, um, an extraordinary experience. And then, I came here to Orlando to be the CEO of the American Red Cross in Central Florida. And, in fact, one of the better stories I have is that, um, Jacob Stewart at the time, who was over the, um, chamber here, asked me one day, "You think you could get Elizabeth to come down and do a presentation for us?" I said, "Sure." He used to have these monthly events. I said, "Sure." So, they announced that. You know, I called Elizabeth and asked her. W—she said, "Sure, I'll—I'll come down there. I—I'll be, um—I'll be happy to do that for you." And sh—he normally used to have it downtown, but the thing sold out so fast after they knew that Elizabeth was coming, that, um, they literally had to move it here on campus. They had it at the arena. So, the Elizabeth—the—and she used to do what I used to call the Dole stroll. She used to, um—used to have her mic on, but she used to walk around and she talked and the like. So, that was a—a really fascinating experience being escorted onto campus by the campus police and escorted to the airport [laughs] by the campus police, you know, who, you know—who took us with lights flashing and sirens going and the like. But they s—they sold out the arena as many seats that they could put in there, uh, with Elizabeth though. So, you know, I've had that—the Red Cross was that—was an outstanding experience for me. I had—I could talk about all the many things that happened with me and—and, uh, the American Red Cross. Um, uh, from, you know, being threatened by life in New Jersey to, um, going to, uh, West Virginia and, um—and—and people saying to me, “You're the new CEO RE—REO?” “Uh, yes. I'm the new REO here and—and—and yes, I'm here to work with you here in West Virginia [laughs].” Because you know those folk are not—they don't see a lot of Black folk in West Virginia. So, but I had outstanding—and I guess the best part of that is that I eventually decided, okay, it's time to retire. It's time to do something else. So, I went off and sold real estate for a little while. And all of a sudden, I get a phone call from the president of Bethune-Cookman University, Dr. Oswald Perry Bronson, Sr. I love that man. Um, he's now passed on. But he called me one day and said, “Sumner, I have a really major issue here at Bethune-Cookman. The Kresge Foundation has given us a significant amount of money to help us, um, grow our fundraising. And that's not what's happening. So, I need you to come and talk to me about how you can—because I know you used to raise money. And, in fact, we had a tornado here. I don't—you—I—you probably want to hear that was in the—that was right after I got here. So, it was the—the nineties tha—that killed 50 people in Orlando. And, uh, I had just become CEO here. And, um—and I raised—we raised—and I don't say I, but we raised—my board working with me and volunteers and the like, we raised something like $6 million in two weeks to support that, um, disaster relief operation. Mrs. Dole came down again during that time for me and—and helped me, um, because she wanted to see what I was doing, you know? She was the one who encouraged me to come to Florida ‘cause she said that when they had disasters here, nobody would ever really raise any money. So, Sumner, I need you to go down there and do that, you know? And so, she immediately—after she heard all the money we had raised, she came down and—and we went out to Kissimmee and places where really, um—and one of the things that was really fascinating that tornado, um, killed 50 people. And one of the really tragic stories I will never ever forget is a woman who came to Mrs. Dole and was telling her about how she heard this noise. She went to the door of her home with her baby and the baby was swept out her hands. Unfortunately, that baby was found in a tree about two days later dead. And she talked about some Mrs. Dole, who was a very, very religious person. She gathered everybody around her and they did a prayer for this woman and—and some other I was very touched by that, you know? By that particular experience. But, again, the Red Cross. I could—I—I—I can talk forever about my Red Cross experience. See, I'm not even letting you get to your questions, am I [laughs]? Cravero You've already—honestly, you’ve gotten through almost every one I was going to ask so [laughs]. Hutcheson [laughs] But then, um, I got a call one day back to Dr. Bronson at Bethune-Cookman. He said—I said, "Dr. Bronson, I do not want to work at Bethune-Cookman University." He says, "No." He said, "I just want you to come over here and talk to me." Well, Dr. Bronson was a very crafty person. And I see why he was such a good president. He was there almost 30 years. You know, presidents don't stay at universities that long. And so, he said to me, um, “I—I just want to get chance to talk to you.” Then, about an hour later, his secretary called me and said, "Mr. Hutcheson, uh, can you be here by 1:30?" I said, "It's 12:00. You know, it's going to take me an hour plus to get over there." She said, "Just put on a s—sports jacket and come on over." When I walked into the room, Dr. Bronson is there in the room with board members of the board of trustees [laughs] [taps table]. So, you know—and so I said, "Oh boy, I think I've been tricked” in my own head I'm taking—but I'm not going to let Dr. Bronson be humiliated or look bad. I want him to look really good in front of his board members. And so, they start interviewing me. They—they—they started interviewing me. Well, the president of the—chairman of the board at the time was the president, um, Stanley Marshall, I think his name. Yeah. He used to be president of FSU . He was also chairman of the board here. And I remember he got up and said, "You know, Dr. Marshall, I've got to catch my plane." After about 45 minutes of them interviewing me, he says, "Whatever you need to hear." I remember he came and touched my shoulders and he said—he was standing behind me. He said, "Whatever you need to do to get him here, you need to get him here as vice president." So anyway, the group broke up and Dr. Bronson said, "Well, come on with me to my office. I want to talk to you." And I was like, "Oh boy, here we go [claps hands] [laughs]." But he convinced me to make that hour and 15 minute drive from Ocoee, where I live, all the way to Daytona Beach every day. And, um, we had a very successful campaign there, um, in University Advancement. Uh, I actually, um, was able not only to meet the Kresge goals that they had given us, we actually got two major bonuses of $100,000 a piece, um, because the board had increased their giving significantly. I worked with the boards—my board representative to do that. And, you know—so we did some great things when I—when I was there. I—I loved—and then Dr. Bronson left. He retired and—and when the new president came in, I—I left. And as I was driving home that afternoon, my good friend, who was the CEO of the American Red Cross in Miami-Dade County, uh, Howard Lipman called me. He just happened to call me. You know, this is how God works. I'm driving my—feeling kind of good. Okay, I'm—I'm retired again. And—and Howard says, "What you doing?" I said, "You know, I'm driving home." He said, "Okay." He said, "Um." And so, we're just having general conversation. And I said, "By the way, I want you to know I left Bethune-Cookman. I—I resigned from Bethune-Cookman." He said, "Good." I said, "What do you mean by good?" He said, "You're going to come work with me at FIU ." I said, "Howard. I'm not coming all the way back." I said, "I don't want to live in Miami. I don't want to be in Miami." He says, "Well, again, come and just talk to me. Come and just talk to me." Well, long story short, I ended up working [laughs] at FIU as his associate vice president. And then soon after that, he left. And so, I was the acting, uh, interim pre—vice president for advancement for a while. And then, uh—then I left there and then took on one other assignment in Miami and that was at Florida Memorial University which is the HBCU down in Miami. So, I did that for a short time and then I retired retired at that point. I've done some consulting work. I, um, enjoyed my work in the University of Guyana in—in Georgetown, Guyana. I used to have fun going over there. Sometimes not so much fun because one day I drank the water. Boy, why do you do that, Sumner [laughs]? I was sick as a dog [laughs]. But—but I—I enjoy working with the—with the president of the University of Guyana, who I knew from FIU. Actually, I met him there, but he was, uh, Guy—Guyanese and he, uh, went back to be president of the University of Guyana. So, I worked with him there. Um, and I've worked with some other nonprofits and the like. And—and now, um, you know, I—I spend time primarily, uh, working with the Peace and Justice Institute here, where I chair the board. I—I chair the board and, um—and, unfortunately, with all the things going on with DEI throughout the country and the state of Florida, I got to be careful where I say this now, but, uh, it was a part of the Valencia College at one time. But things changed and so we had to come out and become our own 501c3. The Peace and Justice Institute. And so, working with Rachel Allen, who's an outstanding executive director, we have really built that program. And the program is still thriving in—in—in places where people still don't want to talk about diversity and inclusion and the like. But, um, we're still thriving. She's doing an excellent job and programming throughout the area has been recognized. She's been at the United Nations and done presentations and—and she's, uh, spent a lot of time in Sanford. They've had a lot of concerns over the many, many, um, uh, years since the Trayvon Martin situation. And so, it's, um, it's been—it's been pretty exciting, uh, that program and being chairman of the board. And growing the board. And growing the resources because now we got to raise money all the time. So, that's been a lot of fun doing that as well with Rachel. So, I am enjoying that very much. So, what else do you have? Anything else on that question list that you have for me that you wanted to make sure I tackled? Cravero Honestly, you got through pretty much every point I was going to ask about, um, including—I—I was waiting to hear about the Peace and Justice, but you got to that one, too. Hutcheson Yes. Mhmm. Cravero So, oh, um, I did have one actually… Hutcheson Okay. Cravero …note that I—I read somewhere. Did you end up meeting President Kennedy ? Hutcheson Yes. Cravero Will you tell us a little about that? Hutcheson Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Wow. You—you got a lot of information there [laughs]. Cravero [laughs]. Hutcheson Yes. Actually, the week he was killed, I met him. My father, um, was not only, um, good in business, he was good in politics, too. My father became one of the fir—I think the first A—African-American member, Black member, of the Democratic Executive Committee. So, you know, the Democratic Party in Miami-Dade County, he was on the executive committee. He had to be elected to that position and he was—and he was the first Black. So, when, um, President Kennedy came to my—he came to—he was killed on a Thursday. I will never forget this. He was killed. I was in junior high school. Uh, and he came to Miami on a Monday. The Monday before he was killed. And he landed at Miami International Airport . So, the Democratic Executive Committee was allowed to go and greet him on the tarmac. That shows you things have changed a lot, you know, with Secret Service and all of that. But they were there. But still, we were able to greet him. So, my father, not wanting us to ever miss an opportunity, took my sister and myself with us—with him and so—with him. And so, as Kennedy came down the plane, I remember him slowly coming down the plane—that, um—down the steps. And he, um—Air Force One. Uh, and then he greeted people. We were right in the line. So, we got to shake his hand as he went off and then he got, of course, into his car and left. But what they didn't tell you. I also miss—I met—I met President Johnson , too. So, I told you my father was very active in politics. So, he used to own a, um—when he was in his later years of his real estate business, he bought a, um, three storefront building in Liberty City. It was really Allapattah . Y—yeah. It wasn’t Liberty City because it was really Allapattah. So, one storefront was his real estate business. The middle storefront was my mother's, uh, beauty shop. And the third place on the corner was rented. He would rent it to different groups and places. But this particular time, a gentleman by the name of Charlie Hadley used to run with my dad. And Charlie was very, very prominent in Miami-Dade County and they started Operation Big Vote . So, they used to be there, uh, and would be on the phones with people making sure that they understood how—the importance of voting. And even before that, my daddy was also, uh, an officer in the Dade County Young Democratic Association. That was a Black organization. And so, they would often interview candidates who were running for office. And then they would rate them and put a big advertisement in the Miami Times , which is the Black newspaper in—in—in Miami-Dade. Still is Miami-Dade County. And they would put this whole big strip so that you could cut it out and take it with you and you’d know who to vote for. City commission or—or judge. And these people were not African Americans in most instances. Most time, they were white, but still my—because the group had interviewed them. But anyway, here it is. We had Operation Big Vote and I'm on the phones calling people asking them do they need ride, uh—rides to the poll. ‘Cause that's another thing that I used to do is after I got my, um, uh, regular license, I—I used to go pick up people and take them to the polls. So, I was there on the phone and all of a sudden, I guess my dad knew it, but I didn't. I was just on the phone. All these Secret Service people swept into the building. Okay? I was like, "What's going on here?" ‘Cause I didn't know who it was. But, you know, you can always tell they got these little things in their ears, you know, like well, what's going on here? And somebody I said, "Come on over here. Just come and stand right here." President Johnson and his—and his motorcade drove up to the building. He actually came inside, shook everybody's hand, congratulated them on their Operation Big Vote and, you know, encouraged them. He only stayed probably 15 minutes. 20 minutes at the most, probably. And then, he got back in his motorcade and—and left. So, I got to meet both Kennedy and Johnson probably within a year because, of course, you know, Johnson became president after Kennedy was killed. So, I got chance to meet both of them and—and—and that was, um—that was quite an opportunity. But the—you know, but as I went to Washington DC, I don't know if you know this, the president of the United States is always the honorary chairman of the board of the American Red Cross. And so, they used to always declare Red Cross Month. Okay? So, I got to shake Bill Clinton's hand when he was president. When I was living in DC and working at the Red Cross in DC. Uh, I got to shake Ronald Reagan's hand when he was chairman of the board—uh, honorary chair ‘cause they would always come, um, over to the Red Cross chapter rather than the Red Cross national headquarters because we had a big conference room that, you know, you could have people stand around and they could walk in with all the secret service and all that. I used to always tell people—I used to always be fascinated whenever you see all these people on polls, um, look like they're working on the telephone line or something. Those are Secret Service [laughs]. So, when—when you saw them start climbing these poles, you know something—you know, that things are happening. So, I got to shake Ronald Reagan's hand. I got to shake Bill Clinton's hand and in the receiving line and the like. And so, um—so I've had—I've had—I've had a few presidential touches, if you will [laughs]. So, in my lifetime, which is really good. And oh, no. I got another one, too. Um, George Bush . This the—the second George Bush. I was on the board of Seniors First here in Orlando. I don't even know if that agency still exists, but I was on the board. And George Bush came to visit Seniors First. And so, we were told as board members I—I have that picture too. Um, a—as board members, that you're going to be on the front line of the row of seats, okay? But you are not to move. You're not to—you stay still as President—as President Bush enters the place. Well, George Bush walks in the place and he's smiling and stuff and he's looking at me the whole time. Okay? I mean, literally, he's looking at me the whole time. And he walks right over to me. Well, I'm not going to sit there. Why? So, I actually stood up [laughs]. And secret service—I sort of started looking around. I stood up and shook his hand, gave him a little hug, and then he went down and—and—and greeted the others who were still sitting. But I wasn't, you know? I'm a man. I'm not going to sit down, you know [laughs]? So, I got—I got a chance to spend that little time with George Bush as well. Yeah. I had some good experiences in life. Like I said, I'm truly blessed. You know, I've had some really, really lifelong experiences. And I've been trying to encourage my son, who's Sumner Hutcheson IV, um— who just recently had to move down to, um, South Florida to spend time with his mother, who has dementia unfortunately. He—he lived in Atlanta for a number of years. Couldn't get him to go to Bethune-Cookman. He went to—he's a Morehouse man. And so, he went to Morehouse. And then he went to Barry University as I did. But the day he graduated, he went right [taps table] back to Atlanta. And he stayed there until just recently, when he's moved back at the age of—how old is my son now? 51. Oh, gosh. He has a birthday coming up this week. I just thought about that [taps table]. 52, I guess he'll be this week. Uh, but, you know, I've tried to get him involved, but he's not. He says, "No, Dad." I just—I love admiring what you've done in life [laughs]. I don't need to have, um—have those kinds of experiences as well. So, yeah. So, I—yeah. I've touched a few presidents in the—in the United States. Not all of them, but I've touched a few. There's some who I wouldn't want to touch, but that's a whole ‘nother[sic] story [laughs]. But—but, um yeah, but I've had that experience especially because of the Red Cross, too, and—and some we—some things that we've done. In fact, let me tell you how—how—how much influence, um, after Elizabeth Dole left the Red Cross to run for the Senate. You remember she was a senator at one time. Uh, we had a—a president by the name of Bernadine Healy , who became president. She's unfortunately has transitioned at this point. But Bernardine wanted to come down to visit me here in Orlando. They always love coming to Orlando. So—and so, when she got here, you know, I worked with her for a couple of days. And, um—and then she, um, said to me, she says, "Senator, my staff tells me you went to Bethune-Cookman." I said, "Yes." She said, "Well, you know, Mary McLeod Bethune had a lot to do with the American Red Cross." I said, "I know.” She founded the American Red Cross chapter in Daytona Beach, Florida. She actually was on the first Negro advisory committee to the National Red Cross. along with Charles Drew and some others. And she was one of the people who insisted on that committee that they stop separating blood. They used to actually put blood after they took it out of human beings. Black blood, white blood, and used Black blood on Black people, white blood on white people. She made them put it all in the same case so they wouldn't be—she got a lot of push back. Of course, the Red Cross got a lot of push back, too. ‘Cause they were like, "Wait a minute. You used to send us separate bags. Now you're sending us, you know, this one bag. And now we got to figure it out.” Well, you don't have to figure it out. You all—you concerned about is what type it is. Is it O? Is it C? You know, whatever. What it—what is it the type that's needed to be transfused into—into human beings? So, I said, “Absolutely.” She said, um—she said to me—she said, "Son, you know, I have a flight at 5:00." I remember she looked at her watch and said, "I have a flight at 5:00 and it's 10. Is there any way that we could make it to Daytona and back and so I could visit Mary McLeod Bethune's home ?” You know, Mary McLeod Bethune's home is on campus and it's actually on Trip Advisor. If you go to Trip Advisor, it's the number one attraction, not the Speedway . It's the number one attraction in Daytona Beach. Uh, and a lot of people go in there ‘cause they left the house exactly at—after she died with all her memorabilia and everything. And they've had to—in fact, just recently they reopened it again after they've had to many times refurbish it. Because, you know, I mean it's old. So, it's had. But they did a major refurbishment just recently and reopened it. So—so, um, they, um—I said h—I said, “Bernardine, that is tough.” I said, “Because you never know what this traffic is going to be like on I-4 out here.” And, like I said, “but, give me—give me a few minutes.” So, I went in my office and I started thinking. I called my secretary and I said, "How can we get Bernardine in there and back? Ah. Let me call Sheriff”—um, what was his name? It’s Sheriff Mina now. But what I can't remember. There used to be a sheriff in—in—in—in Orange County. He ain’t[sic] have no neck. I remember [laughs] he—he—what was his name? I can't think of his name. Anyway, you know, because I‘d worked with the Red Cross and had a lot of interaction with the sheriff's department and him [sniffs], I called him. I said, you know, I'm going to [inaudible], “Sheriff, uh, the President of the American Red Cross is here, and I need to get her to Daytona Beach and back before 5:00 so she can catch her flight out of here at the airport.” He said, "Give me ten minutes. I'll call you back." He called back. He said, "Okay, meet me at the—we’ll meet you—meet you—the three of you—the two of you meet me at, uh—meet my helicopter at the International Air, um—the Executive Airport . The Executive Airport. And we're going to fly over." She get—so, I called Dr. Bronson—my good friend Dr. Bronson. Before I used to work there, you know, he's president. He's my alma mater president. “Dr. Bronson. Um, we will be coming to Daytona Beach. Um, the—the pilot tells me we're going to need to land on the football field. So, I need you to be there to greet Dr. Healey.” And he was standing there all proud with a couple of his, um, vice-presidents waiting with him. And they were sitting there and the helicopter landed. So, the three of—the two of us got out[sic] the helicopter and Dr. Bronson leaned over. He said, "How did you get—how did you get this done? How'd you get this done?” The helicopter stayed on the field. We went and visited, uh, the Mary McLeod Bethune House. Dr. Healey was so impressed by the fact that, you know, she started the first hospital for African Americans, not just a school. She started a hospital for African Americans in Daytona Beach. She founded the Red Cross chapter. She was on the first Negro—Negro, uh, committee for the Red Cross, if you will. Advisory committee for the Red Cross. You know? All of that. She learned so much that day. We used to have a very large national convention. They don't do it anymore because it got to be too costly, but we sometimes will have 10,000 people at a convention. Well, the convention following that particular visit, which was only about a couple of months later, she opened up her presentation by introducing the mother of the Red Cross. And she had this huge picture. Well, you know, she was on the screen. They were on screens. Huge screen—on the screen. She had Mary McLeod Bethune. This is the mother of the American Red Cross. And I want you to understand why. And so, she went through all the history of why Mary McLeod Bethune and all the stuff—the things that she had done with the American Red Cross and all the things she had done in politics and the like. So, that was really exciting to be able to see that. I was so proud of that, you know? Being able to—and then, um, I had one of my staff members come over and pick me up because he had to fly her back to the airport airport, um, to, um—or, um, to MCO so that she could, uh, fly out on the plane. So, one of my staff members came and got me and we drove back to [laughs] to Daytona—I mean drove back to Orlando [laughs]. Yes. But that was an exciting trip, too. Yeah. So, that's my—that's my touches with presidents. And—and some folk who have really made a significant difference I think in my life. Certainly in my experience. And I—and I really appreciate all of it. Cravero Mr. Hutcheson, thank you so much for sharing your time and speaking with us. Um, we answered all the questions I had for you. Hutcheson Mhmm. Cravero Is there anything else you'd like to ex—expand on or add? Do you have any final thoughts for us before we wrap up? Hutcheson Well, um, since this might be a reel that, um—that one day someone else will see, I'll say to my son, Sumner Hutcheson IV, “See? I did it.” He always used to say to me, “I—either you need to write a book, or you need to do a video on the family.” You know? And there are many other things about the family I'm sure I missed in the process. I should have maybe brought a list myself of some things but—but quite honestly the pride is there. Um, we've[sic] always were told to be very prideful. People always wonder. They always still say to me, “Sumner, you used to walk in a room and the whole room would stop at the Red Cross.” That's what they said. Like it appeared—it felt like the whole room would stop. I said, “Because my father told us you walk with your shoulders back. You stand up straight.” And I still try to do it even though I'm getting so old now. Older. I, you know—as you get older sometimes you start leaning. But, um, uh—but, um, try to still do that. I think that's very, very important that there are so many very positive stories. Um, I will tell you just go—I'm—I'm going to go back to Brownsville again. Um, so I have my doctor [knocks table], who grew up two blocks from me. His parents were teachers and principals in the Dade County school system. I have, um, unfortunately, Emmett, um, Williams, who just passed about two or three months ago. He was actually a professional, uh—I think he did promotion of actors because he lived in New York and did that very, very well. Um, uh, we've got, uh, people who've grown, um—some of my friends, who were, um—one of my other friends teaches at Prairie View as a—as a—as a nursing—over the nursing department. Prairie View in Texas. Uh, I mean I can just go on and on with that list. I got a friend by the name of Milton Vickers , who, uh, we used to ride the streets with. And, um, on our bicycles. And, uh, he's done a lot of things in his own business and also for Miami-Dade County, working in the county over there. So, I mean those stories go on and on. And we’ve got so many people in that community that—who have done extraordinary things. And, um—and Brownsville needs to be recognized as that [claps hands]. It, um—it produced some extraordinary individuals. And I—I'm a little humble. I don't usually get chance to talk about myself very much, but [taps chest three times] I'm blessed [laughs]. So, thank you very much. Cravero This has been Geoffrey Cravero with Sumner Hutchinson at the University of Central Florida on September 15th, 2025.

My name is Eric Thompson, and I'm interviewing Curtis Rayam as part of research with the University of Central Florida RICHES Project, in cooperation with the City of Orlando's Parramore Speaks Project. This interview is being conducted at the Melrose Center at the Orlando Public Library in Orlando, Florida, and Mister Rayam has agreed to allow this interview to be recorded. First, could you start off by telling us your full name? Rayam Curtis Joshua Rayam, Jr. Thompson All right. And can you tell us about your childhood and where you grew up? Rayam Well, I was born in 1951—February 4th, 1951—in a farming area called Bellville, Florida, in Hamilton County, Florida, up near the Georgia line. Thompson And when did you and your family first arrive in Orlando? Rayam We came to Orlando in 1958 to stay. That is to say that we had been to Orlando on several occasions. My parents were divided about either being city dwellers or farming people. So, uh, my mother won out in 1958 because she was, um, very, very interested in her children getting a better education than she did. So, we moved to Orlando finally in 1958. Thompson And why did they come here? Just for education? Rayam Education, uh, employment, of course. I mean, we had our farming, but uh, they were looking for a new experience. They both had been farmers all of their lives. And especially my mother. My mother had wanted to be a WAC, and, uh, because her father was burned badly in a tobacco barn for, uh burning. And, uh, she and her two older siblings had to stay home and help their mother gather the crops. So, her out was to get married, she told me. And then from marriage, uh, it brought her along to Orlando, Florida. Thompson And when you came to Orlando, where in Orlando did you live? Rayam I first remember living as a little boy on Green Street, which really doesn't, uh—I don't think it's in existence anymore. It's near the Callahan Center. And then from Green Street, we lived at the corner of Washington, right behind which was—which was, um, Callahan, which had been on the old Jones High School. Thompson And you mentioned a little bit the farming history. Once they came to Orlando, what did your parents do for a living? Rayam Well, my mother became a maid. She worked in the old San Juan Hotel down here on Orange Avenue. And my father picked oranges, and later became an—a fruit loader. And then went on to move houses with Sandroni Company and all. Thompson And, uh, do you have any siblings? Rayam I have. I certainly do. One sister who has passed. My sister, Linda. And, uh, four brothers. My brother Hardy, my brother Linarus Rayam, who has passed, and my brother Alfred Earl, who has passed, and my brother Thomas, who is still alive. And we do have a brother also we call Tootie, but his name is Alphonso. My father's son. He’s actually the oldest [laughs]. Thompson Um, and what sort of, um, memories do you have of your family and childhood that really stick out to you? Rayam Oh my God. Going fishing when we lived on the farm. Going fishing with my grandmother. Playing with my cousins. There were so many cousins. We did not have to make friends with anybody else. Just, uh—just that country life going from one church to another, going down to my mother's—mother's house in the evenings on Sunday—Sundays. And, uh, all the ladies in the evening would, uh, walk down in the—in the fields and, uh, children couldn't follow them. So, as they came back singing we would go to our respective parents and bring them back. I never knew what that was about, but it reminds me of something of—of an African tradition, where the women got together and probably talked about each other's families, husbands and children and got, uh, advice from their mother. But, uh, it was Sunday evenings and, uh, Easter programs and sing your Easter speech and—and uh, all of those good things. Thompson And you mentioned singing. So, let's talk about that. Your career is very unique. Um, can you tell us what you do for a career? Rayam I was an opera singer. Concert singer. I, uh, started in the church, of course. Uh, my—I have to go way back to the country again. My whole family sings. My father used to sing with his brothers and cousins. They were called the Bellville Jubileers. And my mother sang with her sisters, and they were called the Amazons. They were tall, pretty women who had beautiful voices. So, all of my siblings sing. I'm the only one that decided to make a living out of it. Uh, so it's—it's part of our DNA. So, when I go home for family reunion—union now everybody's singing. So it's nothing unique [laughs]. Thompson Um, and you mentioned a little bit, um, but what type of education did you have? Rayam I, uh—of course, I had my elementary school education at Callahan. And it's at Callahan that, uh, Mrs. Masie Cosby discovered my voice. We used to have what was called chapel. A devotion. And, according to her [clears throat]—excuse me. According to her, she heard this voice. So, she did a series of elimination until she got to me, and she said, “well, here you are!” She told me what I had. You know, it was, you know, nothing to me because we did it at home. She said, “I always wanted to sing.” She said, “But you could sing. You could go around the world and sing for me.” Okay. All right. Go around the world. I love National Geographic magazine. So, I had seen other places in this magazine. And so, my mind—my imagination took over and, uh, one thing led to another. Going to Mt. Olive AME Church. Then to, uh, Jones High, uh, School. Being discovered by—from—from one, uh, director to another director. And onto the University of Miami on scholarship. Thompson Um, and what was your favorite subject in school? Was it music? Rayam Music, uh, drama, French, uh, history. Uh, least favorite [laughs]: mathematics. Ran away from physics and calculus. Still get the shivers when I think about it [laughs]. Thompson Uh, and you mentioned Jones High School. Can you tell us about the school, what it was like when you were there? Rayam Well, Jones High was, my lord. It was junior high and senior high. I had never seen so many people in my life than when I was in seventh grade. Thompson [sniffs]. Rayam I'm told by—by uh, church members who were teachers or retired—retired folk who said, “Oh. When you get to Jones High, make sure you take Latin.” So, when I got there, there’s Mrs. Brayboy who was the Latin teacher. Retired. So, there was no Latin. I met Miss Queen E. Oh, what was Miss Queen E.‘s last name? Uh, she was the French teacher. She heard me talking. And she said, "Hello, little boy. Come here." She said, "So, what's your name?" I said, “I'm Curtis Rayam.” She said, "Now, in ninth grade, I want you to sign up for French." Powell was her last name, Miss Queen E. Powell. I said, "Okay." So, when I got to ninth grade, she had retired. But I followed her instructions, and I signed up for—for French. And it's been a love affair ever since. So, I took French in high school, French in college, of course, and studied in France. Later on, after college. Thompson You mentioned a few of your teachers, the French teacher and some of your music teachers. But are there any teachers that stand out in particular as influential or memorable? Rayam Well, my lord, they were all advice givers [laughs]. They were all transplanted mothers and fathers. Uh, Mrs.—Mrs. Cosby, I spoke to you about. Mrs. Polope[sp] who taught me the Lord's Prayer. Uh, Miss Alma Polope[sp]. That was back in Callahan. But at Jones High, it was Miss Augusta Rogers, who encouraged me to make sure I go and sing for the choir directors. Mr., uh, Roderick Rockheel[sp] Williams. Uh, then, uh, Miss uh—Miss, uh, Roberta Manuel, Mr. Norman Choice. And then came Mrs. Edna Hargrett Thrower, the one that took me over and got me ready for university and, uh, the world. She had—and that was the time that I was coming—coming down to the library—to Orlando library when it was first built. And, uh, she introduced us to our opera, to oratorio, to Broadway musicals, um, gospel, of course. The secret—uh, the sacred music of—of the church and spirituals. So, she prepared me for the University of Miami. But Mrs. Hargrett, uh—w—w—we'll call her Mama Hargrett—was the one that really put the fire up under me. Thompson And what did you want to be when you grew up? Was it always singing? Rayam I always wanted to be a singer. First, I thought to be, uh, a ballad singer. And then I found o—found out about, uh, [smacks] uh, the Broadway musical. Then I saw my first opera here in Orlando, which was, uh, Puccini's Tosca, with Gabriella Tucci and Placido Domingo. And I—I thought it was nice, you know, ok, “lalalala.” But the next year we came to see—uh, Charles Gounod's, uh, Faust. That did the clincher. A young Beverly Sills, Placido Domingo, Dominic Cossa, uh, Kay Creed, and, uh, th—the Or—the Or—it was the Orlan—the Florida Symphony Orchestra with Henry Mazer. Henry Mazer. And then Herman Hertz was the conductor after him. Well, that did the clincher. When I saw, uh, Beverly Sills rise into the heavens, I said, “I want to make that magic. That's the magic I want to make.” So, I fell in love with opera on that—on the spot. Thompson And I doubt most folks are familiar with the career pathway of an opera singer. Rayam [laughs] Thompson Can you tell us a little bit about what that journey was like? Rayam Oo, it can be helter skelter. Not necessarily, uh, designed. Although some people are, uh—have a designed, uh, money trail. Marketing scheme. Mine was by the good Lord and good people who heard me and, uh, propelled me from one thing to another. The—the—the basic thing was to be prepared to learn, uh, all the different genres, uh to f—to familiarize yourself with French opera, German opera, Italian opera, American opera, and—and—and—and on and on and on, uh, to have a chance. Also, before you were discovered to say—to, uh, have those chances to get up on your feet and practice, uh, the, uh—the art of the opera. Singing opera. So, in University of Miami, we had the opera workshop. And Miami was a very good market. I didn't realize, but, uh, I knew it was bigger than several other places that I considered. But M—Miami, uh, of course, had the—the Miami Opera. Uh, you had several symphony orchestras around, and, of course, the opera workshop at the University of Miami and my teacher, Mary Henderson Buckley, and my other teacher, Dorothy Zeigler. And, uh, Emerson Buckley. And all of these people gave us chances to sing in the chorus, to be around the international stars. Placido Domingo again, uh, Montserrat Caballé Leontyne Price, uh, Fiorenza Cossotto and—and uh—and on and on and on and on and on. And so, you got a chance to hobnob it. To see these people really practice their art, and to— to talk to them and get advice from them. And to get to know them. And get their address or phone number. So, if you—if you went to New York, you could call them and say, “I'm gonna bug you to death!” But, uh, yeah. Being—being prepared. Hopefully when you're in that right place to—to step out and do that thing that you would like to do. And it has been—it has been a—[smacks] I must say, a blessed, blessed journey for me. Thompson Uh, and you mentioned, um, growing up that there was a lot of singing in the house and fishing. What other sorts of things did you do in your spare time? Rayam Well, there—the other side of that is athletics. My father was—my lord. Sunday afternoons was baseball. My father could play baseball like crazy. And my mother was a fabulous basketball player they say. I never saw her play basketball. But, my brothers and my sister, they not only played in the band and sang in choir, but uh, my brother, Hardy , played football and went to Notre Dame on a scholarship back in, uh, '72, I do believe. And my brother, Thomas , went to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. And went on to the pros with the Redskins and then the, uh, uh, Bengals and then Canadian ball. He, uh—th—the others, although they sang, became accountants [laughs] and mass communication majors. And book writers and poem writers. And all of that. Po—poets and all. Thompson We'll change, uh— we'll change gears a little bit. And looking at, um, the community once you're here in Orlando. Rayam Yeah. Thompson What sorts of businesses existed in the neighborhood when you were younger? Rayam Lord, uh, Mrs. Georgia Wallace had a fabulous boarding house, and she was quite a socialite. I remember she i—invited our family to go to the new Jones High to hear the Dondrells[sp] of Chicago. And I think for the first time, I recognized classical music. There was a pianist. There was a cellist. There was a singer, of course, singing [laughs] what my father desires as, “tweet, tweet, bird music”[sings in French] [laughs]. And they laughed and picked at that for— for some time. But I knew it was different from, uh, that music that I heard back in the country. Uh, the gospel, and the spirituals and the hymns. And even the music, I—I, uh—I heard also in Orlando. So that was in the back burner. I didn't act upon it. But, uh, Mrs. Wallace was very, very, very innovative in introducing my family to another side of the coin. Thompson Thinking outside of your family, what type of work did the people who lived in the community do? Rayam Yeah. Well, you had your teachers. You had your preachers. Uh, you had your first Black policeman, uh, Policeman Jones. Yes. Uh, you had, uh— you had nurses. Mercerdese Clark. Uh, you had—you had your cooks. You know? Cooks. You had your janitorial types. You had your, uh, doctors. Dr. Schanck. Dr. Smith, who was my doctor. You had Lawyer Perkins who was— Thompson [sniffs] Rayam ...who was our lawyer. And his wife was my—my third-grade teacher at, uh, Callahan. You had almost every kind of, uh, em—employment in— in the neighborhood. Uh, secretaries. Pamela Woodley’s mother uh, Mrs. Woodley, who was uh, quite the secretary and quite the [inaudible]. You had your seamstress, Louise McDonald, my cousin. Uh, you had your cooks, like I said. You had some of— store owners. Yes. You had the—the neighborhood stores. Uh, cousin. And, uh—yeah. Hardy Wright. Oh, yeah. And you had your orange pickers. And you had your day laborers. And, uh, the whole—the music. Th—the mix of all. Thompson Um, when you look at the community now... Rayam Hm. Thompson How has business and entrepreneurship changed over time in Parramore? Rayam Well, I—I—I've seen a lot of places that have closed down. Like, for instance, at the corner of Jackson. At the Jackson Street and Parramore you had the Pyramid Cleaners owned by the Motsbys. And, uh, that's not there anymore. Uh, you have the funeral homes. Well, we still have those [laughs]. Fortunately or unfortunately, they s—they still exist but have changed hands. Uh, you have gas stations. Uh, you have your taxi services. Uh, not—about—of the same magnitude as it was when I was a child. There used to be the Carver Theater. Uh, and the Lincoln Theater. Uh, that does not exist anymore. You have a soccer field there now. And, uh, barber shops. And all kind of, uh, uh, clothing places. They don't exist anymore. Thompson What does the absence of those businesses do to the community? Rayam Well, for one thing, it takes out an identity, especially to the, uh—for the young people that are coming behind us. And, uh, we tell them about ‘em. You know? There are pictures here and there about that. I think that's what the Callahan Center is all about to, uh—to preserve some of that, uh—that legacy so that our—generations that are coming behind us will know that—that they had people who were, uh, entrepreneurs of—of good—good standings. And you—you have the ones that were not so great, either. B—but, you know, it takes everything and everybody to make up a community. Thompson Before we got started, I told you that I was going to give you an activity. Rayam Yes? Thompson It's time for that. Rayam Oh [laughs]! Thompson So, this is a [paper rustling] map of downtown Orlando. Rayam Okay. Thompson And I want you to [paper rustling] draw on the map using any of the [paper rustling] markers of your choice. Rayam Okay. Thompson Define on the map: Parramore. What is Parramore as an area? Rayam [inaudible whispering] That's Jackson Street. Where's the red? That's Jackson. Roberts and [inaudible whispering]. That's downtown. That's Madison [inaudible] [pen clicks] [paper rustling] [pen clicks]. I don't have on my better—best glasses today. Uh, South Street [inaudible]. And that's Lake—Lake Lorna Doone. Amelia. Livingston. Yes. Orange Blossom Trail. Livingston. Thompson [sniffs] Rayam You know, I see nothing [paper rustling] saying Parramore. Thompson Right, I've removed the P—I've removed the place names, so if you just— Rayam Oh, I see. Thompson If you just... Rayam [paper rustling] Thompson ...draw a box... Rayam Uh huh. Thompson or lines around whatever... Rayam [pen clicks] Thompson ...you consider to be Parramore. Rayam I gotcha. Uh. Thompson And it should still have street names to... Rayam Yeah. Thompson ...help keep you oriented. Rayam I see. You know, in those days, you could only go as far [paper rustling] as your mother and father [paper rustling] would let you go. Okay. There we are [paper rustling]. I used to walk [paper rustling] Miss Penny over to—almost to [paper rustling] Division Street. There was a lady who sold the Pittsburgh [paper rustling] Courier, which is one of the—the last Black [paper rustling], uh, newspapers—national newspapers [pen hits table]. And we would walk up Parramore to, um— Thompson [paper rustling]. Rayam Oh. Or was it—almost to Anderson Street. ‘Cause she walked—she walked very slowly. And, uh, we would talk all the way. And she would tell me all kind of little things about the past. And we'd stay and talk for a while. And eat some sweet potato pie [laughs]. And turn around and walk back home to Jefferson Street. That was Parramore. Thompson [smacks lips] And so thinking about the community of Paramore, what sort of challenges have you seen Paramore face over the years? Rayam Well, I see a lot of homelyn—ho—hom—homelessness now. And, uh, buildings that [background noise]—that are still I—I say still holding on that were—were new buildings when I was a child. Uh, which means [background noise] money. The money that [background noise] used to be there [background noise]—excuse me—is not there anymore to, uh—to repair them to— to attract a commodity of people to be there. Uh, but, uh, you have a—a lot of homeless people living in the area now. Thompson [smacks lips] And thinking on some of the challenges. Are there or were there any local organizations or networks that stick out to you as helpful in some of those challenges? Rayam Uh, for the homele—homelessness? Yeah. Well, your churches did at the time. Churches. You had your churches. You had your sororities. You still have your sororities. Uh, you had—well, and I would say mainly churches, and mainly families. Uh, there was—there was more of a, uh, mental healt—healthcare and facilities, uh, that were—that were targeted to help the, uh, homeless and mentally ill. Nowadays, I—I don't—I know that they're not there as they used to be. The same type of care is not taken, uh—taken seriously as they once did. Thompson You mentioned that churches played a big role into these community support networks. Are there any churches in particular that stick out as important to the community? Rayam Oh, Mt. Olive AME Church. St. Mark AME Church. Shiloh Baptist Church. Uh, oh, Lord, have mercy. Ebenezer, uh, CME Church. Um, uh, oh, my dear. To tell you the t—eh—New—New—New—her—New Bethel. Every church basically in the community. But still—Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. Yes. During those days. Yes. Oh, yes. They—they really had a, um—a stronghold when it came to helping people in trouble. Thompson And you mentioned, uh, gospel singing, obviously with your background. Rayam Mhmm. Thompson Um, what was your family or personal involvement in some of these church communities? Rayam Well, we belong to—well [laughs], when we first came to Orlando, uh, we belonged to, um, St. Mark AME Church. And my mother sang in the choir. My father sang in the choir. And then we moved across town to the Parramore area, actually, and uh—and Jefferson Street. And we all belonged to, uh, Mt. Olive AME Church. We sang in the choir. And my mother and father, sister. We all—we all came through the choir [laughs] one way or another. Yeah. Thompson And, uh, thinking in the community. What role did women in particular play in supporting the community? Rayam They supported their men [laughs]. No. The women of—of the community were—were, uh—were backbones. They were entrepreneurs. A lot of times you found that the women had more education, uh, as compared to the men. And, uh, they were very vocal in—in, uh, making changes come to the community. So, yeah. Th—the women were very, very, very strong. Very strong. Thompson And thinking back to these—these networks and community. Are there particular individuals who stick out to you as important to either your or the community’s past in the community? Rayam Well, I've mentioned one: uh, Miss Georgia Wallace. Uh, Miss Merced—Mercerdese Clarke. Uh, Mrs. Hargrett. Uh, Mrs. Jesse B. Demps Smith. She was my godmother. Also a teacher. She was one of the first certified teachers in, uh, Orange County to do special education. She was over the, uh, Magnolia School for kids with special aid, uh—special needs. And, uh, I worked with her—with the kids, uh, on Fridays. We had an organization called the Nightcrawlers, where we would assemble all the—the kids who were mentally disturbed. And in those days called them retarded. But to give them some sense of normalcy, we, uh—we would have a big meeting and dance and eating and what have you. Uh, uh, I think it was every other Friday night here at the Magnolia School. So, yeah. I—I—it—it—it—it gave me, um, another alternative to work with mentally disturbed children, which I did do. I worked with the, uh uh—when I was in school in Miami. University of Miami. I worked at the, uh—Oh. What's the name of the place? You get me out of, uh—it was in Coral Gables. Uh, well, anyways. I worked with mentally disturbed children. And, uh, I was offered a scholarship to get my master’s in child psychology. But, uh, Broadway called to do Treemonisha [laughs]. So, that's what I wanted to do more so. Yeah. Variety Children's Hospital. That was the name of it. Thompson We've both used the word a lot. What does the word community mean to you? Rayam Community means the people that are in your vicinity. The people that you, uh—you talk to. You check on. You, uh, fuss and fight with sometimes. But, uh, they have your back and you have their back. Uh, family. Thompson Look—a little—a little bigger picture. Rayam Yeah. Thompson Um, how has Paramore changed over time? Rayam Well, it doesn't have the warmth that I remember it having. It doesn't feel as, uh, inviting as it did one time. My mother would send, uh, all of us to the barbershop, my sister, too, because after we got our—our haircuts on Saturday, we spent the rest of the day in the Carver Theater. Uh, because it was—it had air conditioning for one thing [laughs]. And we didn't have air conditioning at all. And it gave my mother a little breather [laughs]. Um, we s—we felt pretty safe. Pretty safe. Thompson What challenges does Parramore face today? Rayam Uh. I don't—I don't live there, but I think renewal. Making it safe. Keeping it, uh—keeping the historical emphasis uh, in—in front of it. And uh, making it inviting. Now, all of that calls for money. As we know. So, the community of Orlando and the community of Florida need to come together and let's see what we can do in renovating not only that Parramore, but the Parramores from city to city. Thompson And what is the legacy of Paramore? Rayam The legacy of Parramore. Hmm. Well, for me, as a child—speaking from a child's standpoint, uh, we felt a sense of community. We felt safe. Uh, you—um. Hmm. You had—in that community, you had your teachers and your preachers and—and your professionals living right next door to your day laborers, your common laborers, your maids. And, uh, everybody was your mother and your father, your sister and your brother. Uh, other than that, that's—that's what I know. Yes. Thompson You mentioned it a little bit, um, but what can people who don't live in Parramore do as individuals to support Parramore? Rayam People who do not live in Parramore? Well, you could ask for their aid. You could ask for their help, and for—ask for their advice on how to restore it. Um, more than that, you can't really expect much more than that. Um, but their cooperation. Yes. Definitely. Thompson And what does Parramore mean to you? Rayam It means that it's still there. But the only thing that I don't like is that the street of Parramore [laughs] is—is—is occupied by part of a—of a soccer field. I remember when I went down there to go through Parramore I was like, "Oh my God, I can't drive through." I know progress is progress and things do change. So, yeah. That's what Parramore means to me. I can't drive all the way through [laughs]. Thompson Um, [clears throat] those are the main questions I wanted to ask. But... Rayam Okay. Thompson ...we'll give it to you now. What else didn't we talk about that you want to? Rayam Well, let's see. Hmm. I don't know. I didn't mention Chief Wilson. Chief James Wilson, who was the music man at Jones High School. I really—I came to learn a lot about him, even more after he passed, on how he and—when they went to the, um, New York World's Fair in 1964, he and, uh, uh, the band director from Edgewater were very good friends. And I do not remember his name. But very good friends. They collaborated together, uh, even before integration. And they spoke up for, uh, each other. And they both went to, uh—to New York for that fair. And I didn't realize it had—it had gone down like that. Because I was a child. I knew it happened. But Chief Wilson used to, um, give everybody advice. And he was very, very, very, very, very instrumental and very dear to me. And that—you know—when I would come home from school, from university, he'd come over and talk and just to see what—what I was doing it. And—and just to—just to give me some more advice. And to keep me encouraged. To keep on going and—and, "If you needed anything, boy, give me a call." But, uh, he—he was very proud to say that under his watch, he was able to produce a world class opera singer named Curtis Rayam. And that he was— he was humbled by that. I—I—I'd never thought about it like that, but I'm sure [exhales] kids in my position now are now thinking about things that I give to them like that. But they'll be in this spot one day [laughs] and will remember. Yeah. He, uh—but he also he tr—he trained the people who trained me. Namely Mrs. Hargrett. So, yeah. Oh, yes. Thompson Well, if there's nothing else, thank you very much for your time. And we really appreciate it. Rayam You're very welcome. Thank you.

Title Historic Oviedo Colored Schools Museum Collection Subject Oviedo (Fla.); African Americans--Florida; Schools; Education--Florida; Segregation--Florida; Elementary schools--United States; Students--Florida Description In 2000, Gloria Godwin and Gracia Muller Miller began talking about a reunion for the Jackson Heights Elementary School, a colored school in Oviedo during segregation. Reunion Historian, Judith Smith, began to look for artifacts from that era and struggled to locate any pictures or other information. She put the word out amongst the former students, asking to borrow photographs or other materials related to the colored school. Immediately, items began to pour in, and the result was a book entitled: “A Written and Pictorial History of the Oviedo Area Colored Schools 1890-1967, Oviedo Elementary, Jackson Heights Elementary, Geneva, Wagner, Kolokee (Snowhill), Gabriella (Jamestown).” From there, the mission was born. Oral History A resource containing historical information obtained in interviews with persons having firsthand knowledge. Transcription Lester Today is August the 2nd, 2022. I am Connie Lester. With me is Jessica Oldham, and Dillard Alvin Gould. We are conducting this oral history via Zoom. Mr. Gould, welcome to the oral history. Would you please state your name and tell us a little bit about where you’re from, and what it was like growing up? Gould Okay. My name is Dillard Alvin Gould. That’s my given name, but I was under a different name until I was—went through the service. My mom didn’t like the name I was given so she—she put the name she wanted on my birth certificate. And, uh, I didn’t know about that until I went in the service when I was 17. You need my, uh, original name? Lester If you want to give it to us, yes. Gould My original name was Aloie Tossie. A-L-O-I-E. Tossie. My mom didn’t like that name… Lester Mhmm. Gould …but it was given to me by my aunt. And, uh, she never changed it. She just put what she wanted on my birth certificate, which was my great-grandfather’s name. His name was Dillard Gould. Lester Mhmm. Gould So, I was surprised when I got to the service and I gave my birth certificate, that it was different. So, I went through school with that name. And when I tried to, uh, get my school records when I was in New Jersey, I—they had a hard time finding them. Yeah. Lester So what was your childhood like? What was—what was it like growing up in Oviedo? Gould Growing up in Oviedo was, uh—well, it wasn’t easy. Lester Mhmm. Gould I had a—Well, first of all I didn’t start school at, uh, six years old like most kids did. I started at five [audio glitch]. And that was a problem for me for a while because I think I was too [audio glitch] young to be there. Lester Mhmm. Gould But my mom insisted that I go because I knew a lot of stuff. Apparently, I didn’t know enough, and later years it caught up with me. I didn’t get past the eighth grade. But eventually, I, uh, finished school with a GED . And I passed it the first time around [doors closes]. Which was, uh, because there’s not much about my childhood to, uh [clears throat]—nothing, uh, dramatic about it or anything. I was just a kid that was always hungry. My mom worked every day and my dad wasn’t around. Lester What kind of work did your mother do? Gould She was a farm worker. Lester Mhmm. Gould After that she went to work for Henry Walker[?]… Lester Mhmm. Gould …on Lake Charm in Oviedo. She worked for them for 37 years [clears throat]. Lester Did you have brothers and sisters? Gould I had two brothers and three sisters. I don’t know how in the world my mom, uh… Lester Mhmm. Gould …took care of all of us, but she did. She was a good woman. Lester It sounds like it. Were—were you the oldest or kind of in the middle? Gould No, I was the third. Lester You were the third. Okay. Gould Mhmm. No, wait a minute. I had two brothers and a sister before me. That’d make me fourth. Lester Mhmm. Gould And two sisters after me. Yeah. Lester Do you remember what kinds of games you played as a kid? Um… Gould Oh, we loved baseball. And I played basketball. Um, [clears throat] baseball was my favorite game. Lester What position did you play? Gould Well, I was a center fielder. Lester Were these baseball games in the neighborhood, or did you play at school? Gould Both. Neighborhood and at school. Lester Mhmm. Gould I probably could have been a professional but that wasn’t allowed back in my day. Lester So, um, you were an adult, uh, y—you—a—as a child, uh, integration hadn’t come, and the Civil Rights Movement hadn’t come. So, you experienced integration as an adult, um, I’m assuming, when you went into the army. Can you tell me what that was like? Gould Well, at first it was, uh, okay. I was the first one in my group to get a promotion. But after that, uh, I was, uh, sent to Germany. And the First Sergeant there didn’t like me at all. He was from Mississippi. Lester Mhmm. Gould And he said as long as he was there I would [audio glitch] never get any place. And he was a lifer. He was going to be there forever, so, he was right. I never got any place. My, uh, [unintelligible] leader, the lieutenant, he put me in for promotions maybe four or five times. They never got passed for [unintelligible]. It wasn’t easy. But I had plans to stay in there for twenty years or so. But, as it was, I got out after three years. A lot of time [sic] I think I should have stayed in, but I couldn’t take what was going on. Lester Did you have a chance to travel around in Germany when you were there? Gould Oh yes. It was a beautiful country. Lester Mhmm. Gould I went to Munich. Lots of places. Lester Mhmm. Gould I was in Augsburg stationed. Lester Okay. Gould Mm. I—I didn’t want to come home. I knew how it was back there, so… Lester Mhmm. Gould But in Germany I had freedom I had never felt before. Lester Mhmm. Lester So, when you got out of the service, what kind of work did you do? Gould Well, [sighs] first I went to s—went to school. I got my GED. Then I went to school. Uh, electronics school. Lester Mhmm. Gould And I got a job with AT&T . And I retired [audio glitch] for them. Lester Was it difficult to get a job with AT&T? Were they open, uh, to… Gould No, not at first. Lester Okay. Gould They uh—they hired me because they needed, uh—needed me to, uh, rescue them, I guess. Lester [laughs]. Gould They were fined by the government six million dollars for doing what they were doing. They were, uh, hiring sisters and brothers and cousins and aunts for the people that was [sic] there. Lester Mhmm. Gould And they needed me to kind of break that up. Lester Did it get better over time? Gould Uh, since I was the only different-colored person there, didn’t get much better. Lester Mhmm. Gould But I did the best I could do. Lester How long have you lived in the West, in Nevada? Gould We just been here three years. I came out here to see after my mother-in-law. Lester Mhmm. Gould My wife’s mother. Couldn’t live alone again because she’s in her nineties. So, we came out to, uh, take her in. Take care of her. Lester Where did you live while you were working for AT&T? Gould Well, I lived in New Jersey for twenty years. Lester Mhmm. Gould Then I moved back to Florida, and—and I was there for the rest of the time I was with AT&T. Lester Mhmm. Lester Can you talk about the changes you’ve seen over time? Um, how much change do you think there has been, since you [unintelligible]. Gould Well, I’ve seen a lot of good, and a lot of not so good. Some of the changes were, uh, kind of fake changes. Weren’t real changes. Lester Mhmm. Gould But, uh, they were bearable. Lester Is there something you would like to say? A lot of students will look at this oral history. Is there something you would like to say to them, because they were—they were born so much later? Gould Well, take everything as it is, and just try to live [unintelligible]. That’s all you can do. Lester Mhmm. Gould I don’t think, uh, um, [unintelligible]—I don’t think the color barrier will ever end. It’s been there forever, so, it’s—it’s just the way it is. Lester Um, as you think about this Oviedo Colored School Museum , that is being, uh, built… Gould Mhmm. Lester …what kinds of expectations do you have for that museum? What—what do you hope it will accomplish? Gould Well, I hope that, uh, the people that go there will understand that the world is what it is, and it’s not going to change too much. And they have it much better than we did when we were kids. Lester Mhmm. Um, is there anything you would like to tell us that we haven’t talked about or that you would expand on what we’ve talked about earlier? Gould I can’t think of any. Lester Okay. Well, we appreciate your time, and we thank you, uh, for, um, doing this oral history with us. Gould Mhmm. Lester And this has been an oral history with Dillard Alvin Gould, conducted on August the 2nd, 2022, but through Zoom, by Connie Lester and Jessica Oldham. And thank you very much. Gould Thank you very much for having me. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title Jamestown Historic Marker Alternative Title Seminole County Historic Marker Subject Oviedo (Fla.) African Americans--Florida Schools Education--Florida Segregation--Florida Elementary schools--United States Description Seminole County Historic Marker for the Jamestown neighborhood. The marker stands outside the Historic Oviedo Colored Schools Museum, previously St. James AME Church, located at 2170 James Drive in Oviedo, Florida. The marker reads, "The name 'Jamestown' is a tribute to Benjamin and Esther James. The James' homesteaded about 1900 on 160 acres in the area known as 'The Woods' on the northern edge of the settlement of Gabriella. Mr. Ben James built a home and farm on some of his acreage in an area called 'The Woods.' The photograph was taken during a groundbreaking ceremony for the museum on February 13, 2023.<br /><br />After the hurricane of 1926, in the Miami area, where four hundred people died, Mr. Ben James sold acre lots to some of the new settlers that moved into this area. 'The Woods' had no real name so the residents began calling it 'Jamestown,' after Mr. Ben James.<br /><br />The first lots were sold to Bob and Flossie Wells, George and Nettie Davis, Morris J. and Margaret Williams. Other early settlers were: The Nails, Olivers, Perrys, Bryants, Evans, Brannons, Walkers, Ryans, and many more families in years to come. (Continued on other side)<br /><br />(Continued from other side) Rock Hill Missionary Baptist Church was the first church built in Jamestown. The church was shared by both Baptist and Methodist members, who alternated Sundays for church services, and it was a school for the children during the week.<br /><br /> Mrs. Ethel Burney was the principal and teacher for the students in 1930. Ben James built St. James A.M.E. Methodist Church, named for him and his family in 1938. The school then moved to the St. James Church. Mrs. Louise Williams was the teacher until 1951-51, when the school was consolidated with Jackson Heights School in Oviedo.<br /><br />Ben James placed a corner stone on the front of the Church, which says: 7-30-38, St. James A.M.E., BEN JAMES &amp FAMILY, REV. J.H. HOLLINS, PASTOR, REV. A.P. POSTELL, P.E.br&gt <br />The 'JAMESTOWN' community believes that they are blessed to have had ancestors who instilled in them, The Golden Rule."<br /><br />March 10, 2020. located at 2170 James Drive<br /><br />In 2000, Gloria Godwin and Gracia Muller Miller began talking about a reunion for the Jackson Heights Elementary School, a colored school in Oviedo during segregation.

Title Jamestown Historic Marker Alternative Title Seminole County Historic Marker Subject Oviedo (Fla.) African Americans--Florida Schools Education--Florida Segregation--Florida Elementary schools--United States Description Seminole County Historic Marker for the Jamestown neighborhood. The marker stands outside the Historic Oviedo Colored Schools Museum, previously St. James AME Church, located at 2170 James Drive in Oviedo, Florida. The marker reads, "The name 'Jamestown' is a tribute to Benjamin and Esther James. The James' homesteaded about 1900 on 160 acres in the area known as 'The Woods' on the northern edge of the settlement of Gabriella. Mr. Ben James built a home and farm on some of his acreage in an area called 'The Woods.'<br /><br />After the hurricane of 1926, in the Miami area, where four hundred people died, Mr. Ben James sold acre lots to some of the new settlers that moved into this area. 'The Woods' had no real name so the residents began calling it 'Jamestown,' after Mr. Ben James.<br /><br />The first lots were sold to Bob and Flossie Wells, George and Nettie Davis, Morris J. and Margaret Williams. Other early settlers were: The Nails, Olivers, Perrys, Bryants, Evans, Brannons, Walkers, Ryans, and many more families in years to come. (Continued on other side)<br /><br />(Continued from other side) Rock Hill Missionary Baptist Church was the first church built in Jamestown. The church was shared by both Baptist and Methodist members, who alternated Sundays for church services, and it was a school for the children during the week.<br /><br /> Mrs. Ethel Burney was the principal and teacher for the students in 1930. Ben James built St. James A.M.E. Methodist Church, named for him and his family in 1938. The school then moved to the St. James Church. Mrs. Louise Williams was the teacher until 1951-51, when the school was consolidated with Jackson Heights School in Oviedo.<br /><br />Ben James placed a corner stone on the front of the Church, which says: 7-30-38, St. James A.M.E., BEN JAMES &amp FAMILY, REV. J.H. HOLLINS, PASTOR, REV. A.P. POSTELL, P.E.br&gt <br />The 'JAMESTOWN' community believes that they are blessed to have had ancestors who instilled in them, The Golden Rule."<br /><br />March 10, 2020. located at 2170 James Drive<br /><br />In 2000, Gloria Godwin and Gracia Muller Miller began talking about a reunion for the Jackson Heights Elementary School, a colored school in Oviedo during segregation.

I’m ready. Cravero This is Geoffrey Cravero and I’m conducting the second part of an oral history with Jesse Cutler . The interview’s being conducted in Trevor Colbourn Hall at the University of Central Florida on Friday, February 23rd, 2024. Mr. Cutler, thank you for coming back and speaking with us again today. We left off with a story about meeting one of your heroes, Marvin Gaye . I believe you were just about to introduce yourself to him if you’d like to start off there. Cutler Well, what happened was I was at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. And, uh, a friend of mine, who happened to be, uh, the mistress of Berry Gordy , who had four children for him, seemed to be like the princess of the area. And she goes, “Who do you want to meet in the R&B Room?” And I went to her, “Anybody?” She goes, “Yeah. Anybody.” “I’d love to meet Marvin Gaye.” And she literally walked me over. I had, uh, two or three of my vinyl albums on United Artists under my arm. And she goes, “Marvin, this is Jesse Cutler. He’s a recording artist, too.” And I looked at him. And I went like that. I got starstruck. And that was the only time in my life that I ever—he was a lot taller than I thought, also. And, uh, I go, “Marvin, this is an honor. And I’d like to give you one of my albums.” And I pulled a sleeve out, which on that particular album, I had top musicians. Lee Ritenour , Jay Graydon , people from Steely Dan . I mean great backup singers. And, uh—and it was produced by Joe Renzetti , who won the Oscar for The Buddy Holly Story , which I happen to be in, uh, the last ten minutes. I’m in the band at the end. Uh [taps table], Marvin looked at me and I pulled a sleeve out and it read in the liner notes, “This album is dedicated to Lord God my Creator, to my mother and father, and to Marvin Gaye.” And he looked at me. He goes, “You put me next to God and your parents?” I go, “Well, Marvin, you’re Marvin [laughs].” And he hugged me. And—and—and I could look around the room. I—it was Diana Ross , Lionel Richie , and, uh—and Smokey Robinson . They all kind of giggled because I acted like [imitates himself] —like this. And, uh, my friend, who introduced us—and she goes, “You know you’re blushing, Jesse.” And, uh, you know. And he hugged me. And, uh, he said, “Would you autograph the album?” Marvin Gaye is asking me to autograph my album. I go, “absolutely.” I pull my pen out. “To—to Marvin. My musical hero. Jesse Cutler. Blessings forever.” And he looked at it. And he hugged me again [knocks table]. And I went like [imitates himself] [laughs]. That was a great, great moment. And that was at the Grammy Awards . And they—they had private—they had the Rock and Roll Room. And the R&B Room. And the Country Room. Said[sic] literally, if you were on the inside you could walk into those rooms and meet the biggest stars in every genre. So that was—that was a good—a good feeling. And then—and—and by the way, I repackaged that album, which was released by United Artists . Uh, I, uh, took possession of it. And I renamed it Soul Wood. And these are trees. The—these are guitars like trees growing in the forest. The forest of guitars. And, uh, I wrote on it, “Every guitar has a soul waiting to be mastered.” Because, as you know, anyone who’s listening or watching, when you play an instrument, if you’re really serious about it, you want to master that instrument. You want to become the master. And eventually, what you’d probably like to do if you wanted a career in music is you have to create your own sound. And your own style. And your own melodies. That’s the bottom line. After that, uh—that great experience, I was lucky enough to meet Michael Jackson and Mar—and, uh, Barry White . I lean personally—I don’t know particularly why, but I lean towards R&B. And, uh, because I was still a rock musician, I played, you know, electric guitar. Uh, like my Stratocasters and my different more rock-oriented guitars [knocks table]. I always liked the sound of strings. Violins and cellos coming in to smooth it all out. Even though it had a rock sound on it. So, I left New York when I was 22 years old. I had a contract with Fabergé . They opened up Brut Records . I was the first artist. It was me, Michael Franks and Robert Klein , the comedian. And so, I was seduced by Quincy Jones’s daughter . “You belong in L.A. Not New York.” Well, I—I challenge myself, eh, whether I made the right or wrong decision. But when I got out to California, living in Quincy Jones’s house, not realizing Quincy was like at the top of the top level in the music business—in fact, he was the first Black executive in the music business for Mercury Records . And it was at some time I was in China at a private party with my girlfriend at the time. I’m in Beijing and Quincy’s there. And I walked over and put my arm around him. Gave him a little kiss. I go, “You know, you stole my music.” He goes, “What are you talking about?” I go, “Well, you called up my contractor for my album for UA . And, uh, all the musicians on my album ended up on Michael’s first solo album called…” Uh, uh, what’s it called? The—I can’t think right now. It was his first album. And the reason why was because I came from New York with a more New York rock sound, but an R&B twist to it. And that sound, he transferred on to Michael. Because he wanted Michael leaving the Jackson 5 to cross more into the white audience. So my sound was perfect for him. And I said to him, “You know, Q, you stole my music.” He goes, “Oh. It took you that long to figure it out?” I go, “No. The contractor called me up and told me you called them up and got everybody off my album.” I go, “Well, in a way it’s a big compliment.” But, you know, Off the Wall was the title of the album. Off the Wall, that was Michael Jackson’s first solo album. So, when I met Michael at [taps table]—at some point, it was really amazing. Because my birthday is August 28th, and Michael’s Jack—Michael Jackson’s birthday is August 29th. So, in a way, I was absorbed into him through Quincy Jones. And because I was on that level, I got the privilege of meeting everybody. I mean anybody I wanted to meet. And I always leaned toward the Black artists. When Quincy met me, I had a big afro. And it kind of looked like, uh—it kind of looked like that. It was even bigger than that. And, uh, uh, when Quincy met me, he goes, “What’s your blood?” I go, “What do you mean?” He goes, “What are you?” I go, “Well, I’m actually 100% Sicilian.” He goes, “Sicilian? The Moors invaded Sicely from Africa. You Black.” And he went like this with my hair and hugged me. And his daughter got all happy that he accepted me. And, uh, on the way out of his house, uh—he lived in Bel Air at the time with Peggy Lipton from the Mod Squad . She was the star. And I was thrill—I was a little starstruck meeting her. She was very pretty, quiet, and only four years older than me. So that means I was 22, she was 26, and Quincy was 40 at the time. Nonetheless, on the way out of his house, he goes—he whispers in my ear. He goes, “If you didn’t have the blood, I’d kick your ass out of the house.” I go, “But, Q. All your wives are white.” He goes, “Well, that has nothing to do with it.” [laughs]. So, I’ve had interesting experiences. I didn’t marry his daughter. We were too young. I was 22, she was 21. It was a little too early. And I stayed in LA for about a year. I actually put a great band together. And I ended up starring at the Whisky a Go Go , the Roxy , and all the top clubs. The Ice House. And I—I toured up and down the West Coast. And, uh, I’ll never forget the owner of one was a really, uh, popular big bar area with a stage. He came over to me. He goes, “You guys aren’t a bar band. You’re a—you’re a—you’re a concert act.” I mean that was a compliment. He goes, “You could finish playing here, but you—you belong in a concert arena.” I thought that was odd for a second I—that he said that to me. But that’s what I kept doing. After about a year and a half in LA, I went back to New York and went down to see my family down in Hollywood Beach, Florida. And every day, I went to the piano. I’m really a guitarist, but I can play pretty good. And I wrote maybe 30, 40 new songs. And I was motivated to go back to LA. I go back on Valentine’s Day in 1976, and I stop at a recording studio that I met the owner. And his wife said to me, “Uh, you like busty girls?” I go, “Well, who doesn’t?” She gives me a phone number. I get to my friend’s condo. I’m outside with two guitars, two suitcases, and a briefcase. And a girl comes walking down the block with two guys. And she goes, “Do you need any help?” Remember it’s Valentine’s Day. I go, “That would be nice.” So, she takes my briefcase, the guys bring my luggage, and I take my guitars. And we get in the elevator. I go, “What’s your name?” She goes, “Oh. Randi.” I go, “That’s funny.” I pulled a slip of paper out that the girl from the studio gave me. I go, “What—what’s your phone number? Is this your phone number?” It was a million to one sh—billion to one shot that I get in an elevator a few miles away, and I’m holding the telephone number of the girl that the woman at the other studio told me I should meet. And there she was, standing in an elevator again. That was the best relationship I ever had. Within six, seven months uh, we live—we moved in together. Uh, because of her—she introduced me to somebody. I got my contract with United Artists. And from that point on, I did that album, I launched music, uh—I launched, uh, Disco Diet. I had a concept. And this is where I’ll lead with that. I saw in the late seventies that people were getting more into exercise and working out. And I came up with the idea of, uh, Disco Diet. Because disco was big at that time. The late seventies. It was called Disco Diet: Dance Yourself Slim. And I was—I sat in somebody’s office for five days at the anteroom when you walk in the door. I sat there. I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner right there every day. And the owner, whose name was Cecile Barker , would walk by me with his accountant named Doug Dick. That was his name. With two checkbooks. And he’d be walking back and forth. And then, on a Friday, the fifth day, he looks at me. He goes, “You’re not leaving. Are you?” I go. “I’ll give you ten minutes.” I went into his office. And I said, “Mu—in the eighties, it’s going to be all about exercise. Working out. Walking. You know? Running. Jogging. And I have a great idea.” When I left his office, I walked out with a check for $175,000. And that’s from s—which means that whatever idea you have, you—if you pursue it and believe in it, it will attract and magnetize someone who will tune in with you. And you’ll be fortunate enough to get the financing. So, bottom line, that was one project. And we—I ended up hiring Young & Rubicam in, uh—in, uh—in L.A. Their office in L.A. And we bought full-page ads in People Magazine, T.V. Guide, Diet and Exercise, Slimmer, Playboy, Playgirl. That’s full [taps table] page [taps table] ads on [taps table] every newsstand [taps table] coast to [taps table] coast. And it was very successful. At my post office, when I went in to get it, we had bags full of orders. And we—we grossed millions of dollars. And during that time, a good friend of mine said, “You know, somebody wants to meet you.” I go, “What’s his name?” “Well, he’s—he’s got an exercise studio here. Um, he, uh, helps women in Beverly Hills. He’s got a salad bar.” His name was Richard Simmons. Now, you might have heard of him. But, uh, he loved my Disco Diet, which was a beautiful package. A box that opened up like that. It had a 28-page diet and exercise booklet. It had three giant posters that you would put up on the wall and follow it. And—and, uh, the music. I hired Chaka Khan’s band, Rufus. And they were great. And a—and an arranger named Barry Fasman , who got famous doing Melissa Manchester re—records. She got pretty big. Melissa Manchester. Anyway, [sings] “Don’t cry out loud. Don’t want to be…” That was [knocks the table] her big hit. Anyway, he did a great job. And, uh, Richard Simmons begged me to talk to his manager. So, he picked my brain. And next thing you know, Richard Simmons became the guru. But it was really based on my Disco Diet at the time, and the amount of uh, exposure I had. So, uh, now, remember I’m with the girl that I met in the elevator. We—we’re living together now. I did [taps table] United Artists. I did [tabs table], uh, Disco Diet. And then one day, I meet a woman who made masks. And I called her up. I saw a picture of theses masks. I call her up. And I was lucky enough to call the manager up of, uh—of, uh, what’s his name? Eddie Rabbitt. He managed, uh, Dolly Parton , Eddie Rabbitt, Leif Garrett. And I convinced him to let me bring them to this girl to make what they call “death masks”. In other words, they put—they lied down, and they put this stuff on your face. And they literally lift up this mask. And they make a mold. And I go to a factory. And I made 10,000 Eddie Rabbitt masks the first time around. And we would sell them l—like t-shirts or hats. It was the first time masks—so you could be in the audience looking at your favorite star, wearing his mask. So that would be a trip. I remember heading[sic] Barry, uh—Barry White. I met him on a plane going from, uh, L.A. to New York. And his manager was sitting next to him. And his wife, Glodean . And, uh, uh, I told him—I showed him an Eddie Rabbitt mask. He goes, “You mean I’ll be sitting at the piano, [sings] Whoah. Doing that. And everybody out there was going to have my face?” “Well, it could happen. But you get a percentage of all the sales. Like t-shirts and, uh, merchandise.” So, uh, we did that. And I was on my way to New York. I ended up on the front cover of the New York Post with—on Park Avenue, with a group of people wearing Eddie Rabbitt masks. And my arm and his arm. And me and Eddie Rabbitt were like this. And the next picture was Dolly Parton at Studio 54 wearing an Eddie—walking with an Eddie Rabbitt mask. I have all that. I think you’ve seen it. Um, um, so that was kind of fun. So, we did United Artists. Uh, that album was Jesse Cutler. Then Music of, um—Disco Diet. I called the mask company “Mask”. M-a-s-q dash A dash Raves. R-a-v-e-s. Masq-A-Raves. And [taps table] the, uh—and the distributor said, “You—you should go to like Thailand or, uh, the Philippines. They can manufacture it at like 20 cents apiece. Because I was paying probably around $1.59 per mask. Says, “You can get it for like 15, 25 cents. But I was a little afraid to fly all the way to—at that time to the Philippines. Because I’d never been there talking to somebody in a factory. So, I let that go. Well, then after that, uh, what else did I do? Oh. So, because I was always primarily a guitarist, songwriter and singer, I kept going at that. Oh. And then, I had my piano. And I came up with this idea called “Rockula”. R-o-c-k-u-l-a. The o—the other day, I’m looking at the word. It’s “Rock You L.A.”. But I didn’t think about that ‘til like years later. Rockula was about the, uh—the coming of like the Christ. The new spiritual image for the youth of the world. And it was a kind of a goth-rock kind of musical. And I actually got a—a—I went in the studio, and I hired, uh, uh, Alice Cooper’s band. And they were great. Uh, not Alice Cooper, but his band. And, uh, the tracks came out great. And as while I’m talking, you could hear everything that I’m saying on Spotify, Apple, Google, iHeart Media. Just about every music platform. You could hear all this very interesting music. I have to say, I was very blessed to be able to get the musicians on the level—top level. And that’s going from when I signed with Brut Records in New York. When I walked in, the studio band was Aretha Franklin’s band. It was Chuck Rainey , uh, on bass. And Cornell Dupree on guitar. And Bernard Purdie , which was known as “Pretty” Purdie, on drums. And I got the best compliment of my life. I was 21 years old. And when we were just going through the—the three singles that I made for Brut Records. The first one was called “Sympathy”, and it would go [imitates song]. So, now we’re rehearsing it. And “Pretty” Purdie comes over to me. He goes, “For a white boy, you got perfect timing.” And, to me, that was the greatest compliment I ever had anywhere. Because all those Aretha Franklin hits, if you listen to the drums and the hits on the snare and the symbol and bass and everything and tom toms, it’s “Pretty” Purdie. And he compli-[knocks table]-mented me. You know, going back for a moment, I was born in Brooklyn, New York. And I lived there ‘til I was five or six years old. And, uh, I lived on Grove Street in Ridgewood. And I was a little boy. But when I watched TV, I got always excited seeing musical people on television. And because I pretty much was alone—I had an older sister, seven years old. So, she was in her own world. I was a little kid, and TV became my friend. And I got lost watching, uh, American Bandstand . Not knowing that my father built a house on Long Island, and that I would be living there. And by the time I was in the first year of junior high, I befriended a fellow named Rick Shutter, who’s been honored in the, uh, Modern Drummer magazine. Two-page article about him. It’s a little picture of me, too. He introduced me. I—I—I asked him to be in my band. A guy—a kid was riding down the street with a guitar, and I go, “Is that a guitar?” He goes, “No. It’s a bass.” I go, “Listen. Let me hear you play.” I put a band together. It was called The Young Executives. My father came down the basement. Now, remember I’m 12 years old. And he goes, “You guys are pretty good.” He says, “I think I’ll manage you.” Within a year, we wore derbies, custom made suits. I had a wall full of, uh, big amplifiers. He bought us all top equipment. My—my favorite Strat—Stratocaster. My Fender. Next thing you know, we’re playing parties for The Beatles , The Rolling Stones , Barbra Streisand , Anthony Newley . I met everybody by the time I was 14. And we got signed to Mercury Records. So, as a flashback, here we were the youngest band in history on the Billboard charts. Our first record was called “Everybody Do the Duck”, which was a dance—dance routine. And we were booked on all the big shows. Merv Griffin , Clay Cole Show . And we—the biggest thrill was we were on “Rate-a-Record” on Bandstand. Now, remember, as a little boy, I watched Bandstand. Dick Clark . And now, I’m watching our record, “Everybody Do the Duck”, in competition with a famous British band called The Searchers . And our record won the “Rate-a-Record”. We beat out The Searchers. I mean, this is a—amazing. And so, uh, from that point, I turned 14. And we were doing concerts. We opened up at the Commack State Stadium in Long Island for Gary Lewis & the Playboys and The Troggs . [sings] Wild thing [imitates song]. And, uh, that was life. And then one day, when we were booked on Merv Griffin, uh, the bass player, Steve Wagner, his father says, “Oh. Steve can’t make it. He has a dentist appointment.” And my mother goes, “That’s it. That’s the end of the band.” She couldn’t believe that he would make a deal out of a dentist appointment when we were ready to break out in front of 25 million people on the Merv Griffin Show. That was the end of that. And so, I turned 14. I was put into a—a—a yeshiva. A Jewish—very expensive Jewish prep school in Jamaica Estates in Queens, Long Island. Eh, well, Queens. And, uh, for the next three years, I became the head of the music department. And I put on the shows at the assembly. I got to play my guitar again. But I was back in Normalville. I was in the normal zone. And then, when, um, I was in my second year of college, Rich Shutter calls me up. He said, “Somebody just walked in who, uh, wrote a play. And he’s looking for, uh, some musicians.” He says, “Bring your guitar over.” I go, “I’m not interested. I’m going to go to NYU to become and entertainment lawyer.” I thought I could help a lot of people. And that would be fun. So, I—he convinced me. I came over there with my guitar. And in walks a fellow named Stephen Schwartz . He goes to the piano and he plays all these songs. I go, “What do you call that?” He goes, “Godspell”. “What do you mean? Like gospel?” He goes, “Yeah. Something like that.” I go, “That’s guitar music.” And I’m able to listen and play back instantly. That was a lucky thing of—that I could do mentally. And I play back. He says, “Man. I was you in the show. I want you to—I want —I want you to be my guitarist.” And I told my dad about it. I go, “This guy named Stephen Schwartz asked me to be in his play.” My father goes, “Those plays close in two weeks.” Godspell ran for 12 years on Broadway. I did 8—800 shows. Eight shows a week for 18 months. Recorded the original cast album. I got my first Grammy. I was the lead guitarist, and I invented all the parts, actually. Because Schwartz put a chord chart down. So, there were all the chords. But when it came to the solos, I made them all up. And the album went to the Top 10. In the—that—number one in the world. And it’s still going. It’s still going. It’s playing in Tampa, I just read, for, uh, a week or ten days in March. Uh, into March. Like it starts late February into March 2024. Uh, nonetheless, I ended up signing with Brut Fabergé because I just came out of a hit show, and I had some managers. So, I’m going to get into the—more structure. So, at the time I left Godspell, I had e—enough of it. And I picked up my guitar and I walked around Manhattan, knocking on doors. And said, “I write my own songs. I play guitar. I’m all compact. I’m—I’m everything. I sing. I play. And I write ‘em.” And, uh, first one was, uh, somebody—they offered me $10,000 to sign with one company. But I didn’t feel right at that time. And I kept knocking on doors. And finally, I knocked on the door of one of these managers, not knowing that the partnership—one fellow’s name was Bob Bregman. I didn’t know it, and I should have known it, but his brother was Martin Bregman , who produced all the Al Pacino movies. And strangely enough, Al Pacino is 100% Sicilian, like me. And 11 years older. And I would—20. I had a good look at the time. I would have ended up in all those movies. But I—which I—whoever is watching this, think twice before you make a move. Before you leave something. Because you’ll look back and years later, that—how did I make that mistake? But I didn’t know Bob Bregman was Martin Bregman’s brother. Because that’s—here’s my point. If you really want to be—if you want a job as an entertainer, and you want to make a living at it, and you want to write songs, make records, and go on tour, be signed to an agency, you need a top manager. I’ve said this to everybody in L.A., I—which I lived over 20 years. Tell me who your manager is, and I’ll tell you how far you’re gonna go. How does a Snoop Dogg get on a Katy Perry album? Think about it. I mean, they just pick up the phone and they go like this. “Hey, Bob. It’s John. Listen. We want to move Snoop more into the white market. Let’s put him on Katie’s album.” “Now, that’s a good idea.” That’s how it works. Just like that. So, if you’re dreaming about stardom, the only way that you could really make it and do television and videos and be on tour, remember it’s a business. It’s the business of showbiz. And it’s a business. Managers take anywhere from 15 to 20%. Although with Elvis and Colonel Parker , he had 50%. They were 50/50. But look what he did. A—agents generally take 10%. Maybe 15%. Like big agencies like William Morris or GAC . Those are the big ones. So, if you have a top manager and a top agent, you got a shot. Because the record company, if it’s that good, will promote it. And you’ll go on tour. And you’ll make money on tour. And, uh, if you have a tight little band that’s good, you’ll have a bus. You’ll be a tour bus. And you—that’s your life. And if you have a certain knack for acting, at some point, you be—you move as you get older—when I’m watching Steve Harvey on the $100,000 Pyramid —I looked him up. I couldn’t believe he’s totally bald now with a big mustache. He was a handsome guy with a full head of hair. I just saw him yesterday. But I watch that show every night. I’m addicted to gameshows. Meanwhile, my point before I end this thought: management, agency is the key to success. There’s no other way. Period [taps table]. In the meantime, as a quick review [knocks table], uh, this album, let’s see, for United Artists, which I re—redid. I repackaged. Then one day, I took the music from Disco Diet, which was really good. At the time, I put my girlfriend I—on it. And I repackaged the album. And I called it her last name: Yú, which in Chinese means “fish”, believe it nor not. And I repackaged it. And it gets a lot of airplay. Great sound. It’s all instrumental. Then at one point, I had so many tracks of sound—I made a lot of demos. Before we would go in and make a s—final album, you have to demo your stuff. So, I went in. I actually have 22 tracks on this particular album called Test of Time. And it’s a great title because it still sounds really good. And I have all kinds of musicians on here, as I mentioned, with—with Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainey. He’s on here with me. And I have, uh, Alice Cooper’s band on here. I even have on Track 18, Live On, Don Ellis , one of the greatest trumpet players in the world that I was fortunate to meet. When we had—Randi, my girlfriend I mentioned earlier. That was Randi Pitch. After we broke up, she ended up marrying the vice president of Warner Brothers. And he went on to ma—to manage, uh, uh, the—the fellow, uh, who married, um—he was Australian. Keith—Keith Urban . Keith Urban came from Australia as a rock and roll guy. But because he landed in Nashville, they put some slide strings behind him to give him that country sound. But he’s really a rock and roll cat. He married, uh—what’s her name? Uh, famous actress. Uh, [taps table] It’s funny. I say her name all the time. But anyway, he married a famous actress with blonde hair. And, uh, Randi was married to the vice-president who went on to manage him. And, uh, I guess Randi was very lucky. Because of her—I met her on every Valentine’s Day. I would look around like, “Who am I going to meet today?” Because I met this girl named Shirley on Valentine’s Day in 2008. I met Randi, who was instrumental in connecting me with the producers with this, on Valentine’s Day in 1996. So how many year[sic] difference is that? That’s, uh, 12 years? Yeah. Is that 12 years? 12 years. I went from this to this in 12 years. And it happened again. So, I’m like in the 12 years cycle. Then I moved to, uh, uh, Orlando. And I love Winter Park, which is a great place. It’s the nicest place in Orlando. Sort of like somewhat of the Beverly Hills or Brentwood of—of Florida. And I was so taken by Winter Park and all the restaurants and the park itself—they have concerts—that I decided to make an album called “Music of Winter Park”. And I named it “Heart”. And it was a dedication album as an homage to the City of Winter Park. And it sold out. Then I got married. And my wife’s family owned one of the biggest radio stations in Orlando—I was lucky—called, uh, uh, WLOQ, which they coined the phrase “smooth jazz”. And they had all the top artists come into Orlando. And they would play in Winter Park at the park. And have a concert scene. They still do that today. And that was 1998. 1999. I met her. Her name was Elizabeth. And for three years, we had a great time. And she—and at that time I was going to go into real estate. And we got married. And I bought six acres. And, uh, she had two little kids. And I built a treehouse. And I walked around the neighborhood saying, “If you want to sell your house, call me first.” And, uh, [knocks table] one day she said to me, “You know, you should make a new album.” I go, “Who needs another Jesse Cutler album?” I go, “Let me think about that.” Saying that to me is like telling an ex-drug addict, “Oh. There’s some heroin over there.” You know? Like music to me was—I do no drugs, by the way. Music is my drug. My passion. My magic. Music completely—I listen to music. And I’m driving every day. All—all—most of the day. Everyday. And I’m—I’m blessed. Because when I have Spotify on, all of a sudden, my face pops up. And my music’s coming through there. What a gift. But that’s from hard work. That’s from really moving around. And if that happens to you, you’ll remember what I’m saying. Well, after we got divorced, I gave her the property. And I got an apartment. And during my marriage, I came up with the idea—when she said, “Why don’t you make a new album?” That was like kind of the worst thing she could have ever told me. Because after I thought about it, instead of making one album, I made [knocks table] 12 albums. I came up with the concept of scoring every astrological sign. And in my head, because I’m a marketing person, every human being on Planet Earth is one of these signs. So, the marketplace is 100% consumable. 100%. Everybody is one of these. And that means you could buy for yourself, or you could buy one [knocks table] as a birthday gift. And so, my target was Hallmark . And it—when you opened them, not only did I have music, but I had all the information about each particular astrological sign. I get to throw some of my pictures in there. And it was a—a little—little something here about me. And so, this was—this is because she says, “Why don’t you make another album?” And this was very expensive [knocks table]. That’s—that’s [knocks table] 12 albums, but I actually made 13. I made a sampler. I took one track from each album, and I made a sampler. And so, [knocks table] I packaged 78 in a—a beautiful custom box. With 78 albums. And we placed them in stores. I didn’t get Hallmark, which I—I’m s—was shocked because it was perfect for them. But I sold out. And so, after we [hits table] got divorced, I [taps table] got my apartment. And I’m thinking, “Hm.” Well, I was advertising “Music of the Stars” in New Age Retailer magazine. I was buying full-page ads to promote this. And I befriended the head of advertising. I came up with an idea. I saw all these people advertising their musical albums, so I held the magazine to my head. I didn’t hear anything. In other words, just having a picture of an album is one thing. But imagine if you could hear it. So, I came up with the idea of ESP: eclectic sound pallets. In other words, I would put 16 or 17 people on this album, and make a deal with a New Age retailer, which went to three continents, to put this on the front cover of the magazine with a poly bag around it, with a full-page color ad, and a website that showcased each—each artist with a clip and a biography. And it would connect to them. So, it’s interconnecting. I took all three things: music distribution, magazine full-page ad, and the website. Now, I’m not the smartest guy in the world, but after you do this many albums, and p—and play with that many people, and that many producers and agents [thumps table], you start to see things in a different way. This was probably one of the greatest things I ever did. And I managed to make 10 New Age albums and two albums for Latin Beat Magazine on the front cover. I even got, uh, what’s his name? Uh, the most famous conga player. I—I got his son. I can’t think of it now. But, uh—but, uh, I got a lot of top artists. Spanish. And because I couldn’t speak Spanish—Habla un poquito español—my friend, Tony, spoke fluently five languages. So, I made him a producer. And he got all happy about it because his name went on every album, and on the full-page ads. Anthony Hattenbach [taps table]. Anyway, that’s a little bit of that. I think that, uh, the bottom line is all these products that I’ve made, and all the experiences I’ve had, I’m saying to you if you’re dreaming about having a career in show business, get a—get a—make your demos. Get a manager. You’re going to need a publisher, and you’re going to need an agent [taps table]. Then you’re set. Then you may have a career. And on your tax form, it says “vocation”. You put “entertainer” [taps table]. And that’s how you do it. You set up a corporation, and that’s the bottom line. Meanwhile, these days [rubs table] I think about—at one point, I said, “You know, I should write a book.” And, uh, in 1989, I was running a big marketing company that published all these little magazines that were distributed through Walgreens, Eckerd’s, Rite Aid. Everywhere at the cash register. And I thought that was a good idea. And I sold advertising. And I became a manager. Then I became the east coast director. Then I became the national director over 38 states. But if I hadn’t done all that I’ve done, that would never have happened. Because now it’s all about communication, and channeling whatever it is that you’re doing to the right audience. Well, one day, I decided—I told my girlfriend, uh, “I’m going to write a book for the benefit of all dreamers wanting to be in show business. It’s called Starlust: The Price of Fame.” And starlust means lusting for stardom. That’s what that means. And, uh, I was fortunate enough to get Joe Renzetti , who won the Oscar for The Buddy Holly Story , to bless my book on the back cover. Stephen Schwartz, who wrote Godspell, Pippin , The Magic Show , and Wicked , signed the back cover. My friend, Ezra Kliger, who I spoke to this morning, was the conductor for Marc Anthony , Neil Diamond and just about everybody, as a top violinist. First violinist. Then he became a conductor. And I’m pushing him to write a book called, uh—what is it? I gave him some ideas. Uh, I keep pushing him. But—so, my girlfriend at the time in 1989 would drop me off at the library, starting on Jan [taps table] uary 1st, from [taps table] 9:00 in the morning to [taps table] 6:00 at night. [taps table] Five [taps table]days a [taps table]week. And [taps table] all [taps table] I [taps table] did for [taps table]seven [taps table]months was [taps table] write [taps table] every [taps table] day. You got be disciplined. On July 31st, a girlfriend of mine’s birthday—I’m godfather to her daughter—calls me up. She says, “Come meet us at, uh, Maria’s Café.” I go, “You know what? I just finished my book. It’s your birthday. So, it’s sort of a birthday for my book, too. Yeah. I’ll come.” We get—we get there. And, well, I wrote a book. But let me tell you, you have to have that—I wrote everything on a yellow pad. I had stack[sic] of yellow pads. Handwriting. I had to hire somebody to convert it into text. Which I did. Now you got[sic] to get a publisher. Well, to be honest, it took—I figured it out. I finished July 31st, 1989. It wasn’t published until 2008. So, that—what is that? 19 years? Or 18 years. It took about 18 years to finally publish it. How did I get it? Because I was in advertising, I met two fellows. I said, “Oh. Is this your company? Do you have a trademark?” I go, “I’ll do that for you. And, uh, 750 each.” So, I did two trademarks. And one of the fellows, I d—delivered the trademark. I got it for him. And I had one spot left on my advertising booklet. And I go, “Why don’t you take the last spot here? It’s fi—it's 1,500. I’ll give it to you for 1,000.” And he—he paid me cash. And after, I went to print and brought him a copy. I go, “You know, Michael. You know I could really use a partner. I have a book I’d love to publish.” And there, God struck lightning again. “[taps table] How much you need?” “I don’t know. 35. 40,000.” He goes, “Meet me at the bank tomorrow.” And it happened just like that. And my book went on. It’s all over the world. It’s distributed worldwide on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. And I went on a book tour. So, if you’re listening to all this stuff that I’m telling you, it all started when I was 13 years old with my little band of Long Islands. And my father was the manager. And he was great. So, your manager, again, is the key—na[sic], but I continued on and on and on. And I’ve had my ups and downs. But I kept going. And today, my goal is to take Starlust: The Price of Fame and make a movie based on my book about the climb as a child, whose dream was to perform and make it as a star in life to the world globally. And that’s my next challenge. And I’m going back to California to do that in a few months. And that’s where I’ll leave it right there. Starlust: The Price of Fame.

Tourism--Florida Springs--Florida Parks--Florida Mermaids--Florida Swimming--Florida Perry, Newton, 1908-1987 Description Clipping of newspaper article "Newton Perry Has Enviable Record" published in the <em>Atlantic Coast Line News</em> about Newton "Newt" Perry's athletic, educational, and professional accomplishments, in September 1929. <br /><br />Newton "Newt" Perry was born in Valdosta, Georgia in 1908, and moved with his family to Ocala, Florida in 1922. He was a member of the swimming and diving teams at the University of Florida. Perry earned the nickname "The Human Fish" for his performances of underwater stunts in advertising clips and film shorts, and acted as a swim double for actors in movies and TV shows, including Johnny Weissmuller as "Tarzan." Perry also advised filmmakers filming underwater scenes at Silver Springs, Wakulla Springs, and Weeki Wachee Springs, and developed a system for breathing underwater using an air compressor and hose, which was used in the 1948 film "Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid" and during Weeki Wachee Springs' mermaid shows. <br /><br />Perry worked as a lifeguard, public school principal, coach, swimming and scuba diving instructor, and Ocala city pool manager. He opened Perry's Swim School in 1955, and taught more than 120,000 individuals to swim during his career. Perry was inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame in 1981. Perry's daughter Delee Perry took over Perry's Swim School following her father's death in 1987, and it was still in operation as of 2020. <br /><br />Along with a group of investors, Newton Perry opened Weeki Wachee Springs to the public in October of 1947, and used his experiences working at Silver Springs and Wakulla Springs to develop the original concepts for its underwater theater and mermaid shows. Perry sold his stake in Weeki Wachee Springs in 1950. After peaking in the 1950s and 1960s, attendance began to decline as theme parks and highways changed the dynamics of Florida's tourism. The State of Florida took over the attraction as a state park in 2008. Since then, the park has focused on appealing to a modern audience while preserving its history.

Perry earned the nickname "The Human Fish" for his performances of underwater stunts in advertising clips and film shorts, and acted as a swim double for actors in movies and TV shows, including Johnny Weissmuller as "Tarzan." Perry also advised filmmakers filming underwater scenes at Silver Springs, Wakulla Springs, and Weeki Wachee Springs, and developed a system for breathing underwater using an air compressor and hose, which was used in the 1948 film "Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid" and during Weeki Wachee Springs' mermaid shows. <br /><br />Perry worked as a lifeguard, public school principal, coach, swimming and scuba diving instructor, and Ocala city pool manager. He opened Perry's Swim School in 1955, and taught more than 120,000 individuals to swim during his career. Perry was inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame in 1981. Perry's daughter Delee Perry took over Perry's Swim School following her father's death in 1987, and it was still in operation as of 2020. <br /><br />Along with a group of investors, Newton Perry opened Weeki Wachee Springs to the public in October of 1947, and used his experiences working at Silver Springs and Wakulla Springs to develop the original concepts for its underwater theater and mermaid shows.

He opened Perry's Swim School in 1955, and taught more than 120,000 individuals to swim during his career. Perry was inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame in 1981. Perry's daughter Delee Perry took over Perry's Swim School following her father's death in 1987, and it was still in operation as of 2020. <br /><br />Along with a group of investors, Newton Perry opened Weeki Wachee Springs to the public in October of 1947, and used his experiences working at Silver Springs and Wakulla Springs to develop the original concepts for its underwater theater and mermaid shows. Perry sold his stake in Weeki Wachee Springs in 1950. After peaking in the 1950s and 1960s, attendance began to decline as theme parks and highways changed the dynamics of Florida's tourism. The State of Florida took over the attraction as a state park in 2008. Since then, the park has focused on appealing to a modern audience while preserving its history.
