Description
Central Florida is a unique place. Diversity exists throughout the spectrum of population, neighborhoods, tourism, and attractions. Because of our uniqueness and seemingly never-ending list of things to do, we tend to overlook the things that make us unique. We tend to overlook our past. We walk through parks, down the street, and around lakes, catch a glimpse of a commemorative plaque or statue, but it stops there. Central Florida is rich of monuments and memorials, yet very rarely do we know why it is there and who put it there.
Our small University of Central Florida Public History class selected a number of memorials and monuments around Central Florida. We found busts, markers, structures, and statues that stand tall. Some of these are obvious, but others are hidden amongst the brush. We had no idea what we would find in regards to these gems; some of us found very little, but others found gold. We found that monuments in places like Kissimmee, Lake Eola, and Sanford offer a glimpse into our past that has been overlooked, and in some cases untouched. Through the history of our monuments and memorials, we have been able to gauge social sentiment, populations, but more importantly, the reasons why our predecessors have commemorated what they have.
Our sampling in no way represents all of the history Central Florida has to offer, but we can offer you a glimpse and hope that you dig further through the history our region has to offer. Come into our exhibit and look through our shared past and see what was important, and what has been forgotten. Come in and see for yourself a familiar statue to which you can finally give meaning. Come in and see Central Florida in a new light— a light that will take you through the years and the changes of our region.

Description
The Seminole County World War I Memorial is a "broken shaft" of marble erected to honor the 13 young men of Seminole County, Florida, who died serving during World War I. Another three passed away from war-related injuries at later dates. Eleven of these men had their names collected via a newspaper advertisement that ran in <em>The Sanford Herald</em> in December 1918. The following names are engraved on the pillar: George W. Calhoun and M. W. Lowell, Jr. from the Navy; Frank A. Campbell, Handy Jenkins, Joseph S. Laing, Archie B. Liles, Arthur D. Lossing, Carl Marm, Harry Phillips, Edwin J. Robinson, and James Oscar White from the Army. There are also engravings on all four sides of the base. <br /><br />On February 23, 1919, the monument was dedicated in present-day Centennial Park, formerly named Central Park. The memorial was presented by Frank L. Miller and received by Judge E. F. Housholder. It is known as the first monument to soldiers of World War I. A feature that is unique for the time period in which it was erected is the inclusion of the names of two African-American men. This inclusion assured the resulting crowd of over 1,500 people in attendance for the ceremony was made up of people from all races. The memorial has since been moved to various locations including: American Legion Post 53, known locally as the "Legion Hut" until its destruction, at 3506 Orlando Drive on February 24, 1985; the new American Legion Post 53 at 2874 South Sanford Avenue in June 1988; and Veterans Memorial Park on November 11, 2006. The monument was rededicated to the people of Seminole County on May 28, 2007.

Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Seminole County, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town."
Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913, and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In the early-1900s, Seminole County was known for its agricultural development and close proximity to shipping lanes. By the 1920s, citizens in Seminole County, particularly in Sanford, soon shifted their interests in making the area a tourist destination.

Description
A newspaper article on the celery industry in Sanford and Seminole County, Florida, as well as the county's its major representative, the Seminole Agriculture Club. At the time that the article was written, Seminole County was the second smallest county in the state with approximately 260 square miles of land. According to the article, celery production had been growing in the county and had resulted in the necessity for improvements in labor and infrastructure. Railroad facilities were furnished by the Atlantic Coast Line Company. The article also credits various other civic organizations with Sanford's growth: the Woman's Club, the Rotary, the Kiwanis and Lion Club, and the Campbell-Lossing Post of the American Legion.

Description
This is an undated narrative, written by Luticia "Tish" Lee, that describes the origins of a rolling pin that has become an heirloom of the Lee Family of Sanford, Florida. Lee wrote about this keepsake for which she had placed in her Love Cedar Chest, also known as a Hope Chest. While attending high school in 1940, Lee's parents gave her a hope chest, along with a bedspread crocheted by her mother. Also included inside was a rolling pin that her father, a member of the American Legion, had made from one of the wooden spokes from the wheel of a World War I-era cannon. The cannon was placed in front of American Legion Campbell-Lossing Post 53, located at 300 Seminole Boulevard, on January 17, 1936, but was dismantled for scrap metal during World War II. Lee married her husband James after the war on September 11, 1946. After her wedding, she began using the rolling pin.

Description
The American Legion Hall, located at the 300 Seminole Boulevard in Sanford, Florida during the 1920s. The log cabin was originally used as the American Legion Campbell-Lossing Post 53, which received the property from the City of Sanford during the Armistice Day celebrations on November 11, 1924. Mayor Forrest Lake dedicated the structure to the "future generations who would be better off because of the work of the American Legion." The cabin was constructed through private donations from local citizens and businesses, such as the Hill Lumber Company. A cannon from World War I was placed in front of the building on January 17, 1936, but the cannon was dismantled for scrap metal during World War II. The Sanford Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States acquired the building in 1973 and the American Legion moved to 3506 South Orlando Drive and later to 2874 South Sanford Avenue. Due to deterioration and poor conditions, inspector Gary Winn recommended demolition, which City Manager Bill Simmons approved.<br /><br />The American Legion is a social veterans' organization for former and current members of the United States Armed Forces. The organization was chartered by the United States Congress on September 16, 1919, following World War I. The American Legion has been active in influencing political and social change, such as the founding of the U.S. Veterans Bureau, which was the forerunner of the Veterans Administration and later the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA); efforts to pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting the physical desecration of the American flag; the creation of the American Legion Baseball program; the passing of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, commonly known as the GI Bill of Rights; contributing to the launch of the National Association for Mental Health; sponsorship of an independent study on the effects of the exposure of Agent Orange, a herbicidal weapon, on veterans of the Vietnam War; as well as many other activities and achievements.

The Sanford Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States acquired the building in 1973 and the American Legion moved to 3506 South Orlando Drive and later to 2874 South Sanford Avenue. Due to deterioration and poor conditions, inspector Gary Winn recommended demolition, which City Manager Bill Simmons approved.<br /><br />The American Legion is a social veterans' organization for former and current members of the United States Armed Forces. The organization was chartered by the United States Congress on September 16, 1919, following World War I. The American Legion has been active in influencing political and social change, such as the founding of the U.S. Veterans Bureau, which was the forerunner of the Veterans Administration and later the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA); efforts to pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting the physical desecration of the American flag; the creation of the American Legion Baseball program; the passing of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, commonly known as the GI Bill of Rights; contributing to the launch of the National Association for Mental Health; sponsorship of an independent study on the effects of the exposure of Agent Orange, a herbicidal weapon, on veterans of the Vietnam War; as well as many other activities and achievements.

Transcript
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>So to—to—what we usually do with the beginning of the interviews is introduce ourselves and I’m Scot [French]. This is October 30<sup>th</sup>, 2013. And, um, we are interviewing, uh, Luticia Lee. Do you go by “Tish?” “Tisch?”</p>
<p><strong>Lee</strong> <br />Tish.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Tish?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Tish.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>How do you spell that? “T-I-C-H” or “S-H”?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>S-H.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>T-I-S-H.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>You know, on some of the things we had from Creative Sanford[, Inc]. It had “C,” and so I’m glad we asked.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Yes[?].</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Um, and so the first—let[sic] me do is to ask you: would you intro—you mind introducing yourself to us?</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Just tell ‘em your name.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /> </strong>Tell ‘em your name.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>My name is Luticia Lee, and I was born in Sanford in, um, 1923. And my house was built in 1926. And at—growing up, I could walk everywhere. I could walk to school. And um, at that time, there were just three houses on the block. And then in, um—I’m not sure when—but the Spencer house that was on the corner, it burned. It was the old house and it burned. So, until ’46, there was just this house and the one my aunt and uncle built. And then in ‘46, Braley[?] Oaklem[?] built more houses. And um, so things really did change you know. You—you didn’t have that many people here [<em>laughs</em>]. And, uh, you knew everybody. And now, I go to town and I don’t know anybody.</p>
<p><strong>All <br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>It’s changed so, but, um—and, I do have friends that I went to school with. And we try to go out once a week for dinner and we graduated together in ‘42 [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p>And that’s when, um, my dad—Mom and Daddy gave me my cedar chest. And that’s when, um, Mama crocheted me a bedspread, which I still have. And Daddy wanted to make something, and that’s when—it was the beginning of the [World] War [II]. And they asked for scrap metal and that’s when they took—were taking out—down their cannon. And Daddy had—was in the military and he helped take it down. And he got the, um, spoke from the wheel, and made my rolling pin, which is the only rolling pin I have used all these years. And I’m giving it to Cathy [Dingle],<a title="">[1]</a> ‘cause she cooks, and she bakes cookies, and she rolls ‘em.</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>She<a title="">[2]</a> cooks as well, but I bake [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>I get the, um…</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Fireless…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Fireless cooker.</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski <br /></strong>I’m gonna do the crock pot thing.</p>
<p><strong>All <br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Oh great. Great.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>So she gets the—and um…</p>
<p>But I’ve had a wonderful life. I really have. Been right here. Still have friends that I’ve had all my life. I’ve lost a lot, but when you reach 90, you, um—you—it happens, you know? So—and if I get sad, I just sit down and count my blessings, ‘cause I’ve got a lot of them.</p>
<p>I have three children, I have four grandchildren, I have four great-grandchildren, and I have wonderful in-laws. Everybody is good to me. And my husband took care of me. He’s been gone 10 years, but I have somebody do the yard, I have a landscaper, I have, um, a cleaning service to do the house. So I just sit around and watch people work.</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I don’t work anymore [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Well we’re—we’re putting you to work today, because you are our resident historian.</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>And we’re—we’d love to hear a little bit more about Sanford during World War II. Uh, you graduated from high school in ’42?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>And what are your memories of that period—of being in Sanford during the war?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well, now, I was working during the war. Um, I was a secretary at the ice plant. And um, and we, um—we iced the cars. That, you know—I didn’t do it.</p>
<p><strong>Unidentified<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>The people did. And, um, I kept the records. And, uh, they took all the stuff to troops and everything.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>These are railroad cars or— or shipping cars? What kind of cars were they?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>They were railroad cars. Railroad cars. It was the—on the tracks out on [Florida State Road] 46. And I think they still—they don’t—I don’t know if the ice plant’s still there.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle <br /></strong>No.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>It was for years, but, uh, I don’t think it is anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And, um…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And you were a secretary at the…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Ice plant?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>For a few years. It didn’t really take.</p>
<p><strong>All <br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I just did what I was told. And I—but, um, and it—it’s Sanford during the war. We—we had the base<a title="">[3]</a> out here. And, uh, sometimes we dated the pilots, which was a lot of fun.</p>
<p><strong>All <br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>But, um, I don’t know.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Did you, um—were—were there local rallies or efforts to sort of rally the town’s people? Uh, you mentioned that they decided to melt the cannon, because of the scrap metal drive. Do you remember much about the scrap metal drives, and other things?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Honey, I got—I—I researched that, and there’s the papers over there.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And it—yeah. I wanted to know.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And so are these, uh—okay. So these are some of the materials that you—you did all the research on this, you…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yes. I did.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>You went down to the museum?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And um…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And see? It says, “County League [inaudible] scrap collection on per capita basis.” And, um, I—it was very interesting. It really was. And, and, uh “Legion pole?” Oh, I can’t read…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>“Legion post will give up cannon in scrap drive.” This is perfect. This is exactly what we were hoping…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>To find. You’ve done the work for us. [<em>laughs</em>]</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I wanted to know what was, you know—and this was the Legion Hut.<a title="">[4]</a></p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>And she had pictures made, and—and a frame made, and took the picture out to the Legion.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And see…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Oh, wonderful.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>So they would know.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And that’s what…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Is this also from the museum?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Hm?</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Is this from the museum? Or is this a….</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well, um…</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>This photograph…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Uh, they took a picture. You see, they didn’t have a picture out at the new Legion Hut. And, um, I thought they should have one. So I went and—and got a picture. And—of the canon, and, um, now—but I couldn’t ever find out who that man was.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>I guess the ones that were there then were all gone. So I don’t know who he was. But anyway, I had that, um, copied and I framed it and I took it out and I gave it to them, so they’d have a picture of the old Legion Hut.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>That is wonderful.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And they put it up.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>That is wonderful.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>So, anyway…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>This is great. And this—you—these pictures are from the museum? Is that where you found these?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yes. I found them…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Great.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>From the paper.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Great. Wow. And this is, uh, a handwritten note?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I had that and I can’t read it now [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Do you rem—what of the—you wrote this for yourself? Or…</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>Yes. For me.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>And what was the—what was the event that led you to write that?</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>Well, uh, I think there was something in, um—in the paper about, um…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Do you want me to read it?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Want me to go look, Mama?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>You can read it maybe. It’s about when Daddy decided to make, um…</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Oh, oh this is when, um—deciding which precious keepsake you wanted…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>To write about from your cedar chest.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>And, um, how Granddaddy wanted you to have something that was from him. And how he went about getting the—the spoke and…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Making the…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Making my…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Your rolling pin.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Your rolling pin to go in your hope chest. That’s why you wrote that up.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And this was from the paper?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I wrote it up to put in the cedar chest.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Oh, to put in the cedar chest. So did you write this?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle <br /></strong>So that people would know what, you know—so that we would know where it came from. We would—we would have a history of why she had it and where it came from.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Because, um, I wanted them to know. See, Mama crocheted the bedspread and Daddy wanted to put something in it.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle <br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>So I wrote it…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski <br /></strong>Wrote it down for us.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>So, this is the rolling pin. Do you mind if I…</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>Sure.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Go ahead.</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>I just wrap it up. I haven’t used it for a while. But she’s going to use it to make Christmas cookies.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Yes. I will.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>You can tell it’s been used.</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Lots of biscuits.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>A lot. Yeah. Biscuit—biscuit [inaudible] and pies.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Biscuits and pies are mainly what it did.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Mmhmm…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Mainly it was Daddy’s biscuits.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>That’s right.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>So when I read the story about this, we got to talking and—and, uh, thought about <em>Well, what made him think to make a rolling pin out of a spoke? </em>Because he worked at a paper factory, correct?</p>
<p><strong>All <br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>So he would have been familiar with all the equipment that you could do this with, uh, milling? It’s called “milling?”</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah, but he was superintendent of the Crown Paper Company. That’s when they—they printed they, uh, wrappers. That’s when they wrapped fruit. It was individually wrapped for a long time. They don’t do that anymore. They just pack it in boxes and ship it off. But, um, Daddy was there so—and he was in the [American] Legion, and when they went to send the cannon back, he went to help them dismantle it, and that’s when he got the spoke, and, um, that’s what he could do. He could make me a rolling pin, and that was in ‘42.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Because everybody needed a rolling pin.</p>
<p><strong>All <br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>He was also a carpenter, so he had worked with wood in building this house. And if—if you look on the floor, you’ll see there’s designs in the wood. And…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And there’s my—my, uh, [inaudible]…</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Back in the corner. So he was…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>That Daddy had built for me, when I was—yeah.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>When I was four or five.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>So he was always thinking of things to do with wood and something else to make and something to do, so I think that just came naturally to…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>To do that.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>To do the rolling pin.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Something for her.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>It would go in a cedar chest.</p>
<p><strong>All <br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>It would fit.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski <br /></strong>It would fit.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>So, do you know the story of the cannon? What was the history of this cannon? Was this someth—it was brought back from World War I?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well, yeah. When they built the Legion Hut. Um, I don’t know where they got the cannon. But, um, they wanted a cannon from the First World War. So, I don’t know where they got it. Now they got a cannon out at the other—the other Legion Hut. And I don’t know where they got it. I think they just feel that, you know, it’s history. They had cannons.</p>
<p><strong>Unidentified<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>It’s an old one. It’s got wooden spokes I think. I haven’t gotten out of the car to examine it, but I’ve driven by.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Uh, so, um, what other—do you have other memories of the home front during the war or the end of the war? There’s[sic] certain moments of that period…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Oh, I remember end of the war. Oh, there was a parade down on First Street, and I remember being [<em>laughs</em>] in the car. And we was[sic] driving, and my cousins were with me, and everybody was screaming and hollering. And Mama remembered the end of the First World War. And how, um, things were downtown then.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Now during this time, didn’t Grandma and Aunt Marty still—didn’t they run the grocery store at that time, during the war? Were they running it? [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>They came in 1910.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>No, but did they still have the store in the ‘40s?</p>
<p><strong>Lee </strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Okay. Well, tell them about them having the store and one of the reasons—like, during the war they didn’t have this much[sic] problem with food, because they had a grocery store?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah, but they also had rationing, you know.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>They rationed, uh, meat. They rationed sugar, and, um—and I do remember that.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>They rationed shoes. And tell them what happened with you. She has very tiny feet.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Oh, yeah. Shoes were rationed. Isn’t that funny? They rationed shoes [<em>laughs</em>]. Oh dear.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>But she had such a hard time finding shoes that everybody—whenever she would find it they would give her their shoe coup—what were they, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Shoe coupon.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Shoe coupon, so that she could buy the shoes, because she would—she loved shoes.</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>It was hard for her to find them in her size so if they found a pair that would fit her they…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>They would have to use somebody else’s coupon to buy her a pair of shoes.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>That’s great. That’s great. Did you know soldiers who had—from Sanford—young men of your age?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yes.Yeah. I remember one of the boys in my class, who was killed. He was Fred Dyson[sp]. I remember that. I don’t remember. I don’t remember a lot of them going to war.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And the base being nearby—what was—you mentioned the pilots, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Was there—was[sic] there other kinds of connections to the base, besides the kind of social connections?</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>Well, um, several of my friends worked out there. And, um, I know Margie married, er, one of the pilots. And, um, a lot of them, you know—I met some of them through friends that worked there. But, um, we didn’t—I mean, they weren’t there that long, you know. You just see ‘em and I know one time we went to New Smyrna [Beach] with a group, uh, a whole—I mean, it was usually in a group. So…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>You mentioned that after the war, how much Sanford changed. You mentioned I think one of—all the building…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Oh, yeah.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Construction in this area.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Construction started. Houses were built.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And so this little town you grew up in became—started to grow and grow [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah. And it’s still growing.</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Sanford was lucky, because it was both on the river and it had the railroad.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>So that’s one of the reasons it was able to flourish like it did. And, um, there’s a big hotel downtown—well, now it’s not the hotel anymore, it’s, um, is the New Tribe’s Mission headquarters—world headquarters. It used to be the Mayfair Hotel. And people would come and stay for the winter, and that sort of thing. So it—ya know, it drew a lot of people and brought them here to spend their money in Sanford while they were getting away from the cold.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>So, um, you stayed. People have come and people have gone. And you’ve been here, uh, and—why did you stay?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>This is my home and I want to stay right here.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Uh, you’re surrounded by, uh, a lot of the artifacts of your life. All the great, um…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Pieces of furniture and art and…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah. Uh huh. And Aunt Marty’s pitcher and bowl when she came in 1910. My grandfather was a doctor in Mount Olive, North Carolina. And when he died, um—he had made a—he bought a small hotel, and he made into a—that’s where he could take patients, and it was like a small hospital. And Aunt Marty worked for him.</p>
<p>But then he died and, um, uh, Uncle [James] came down and he was—he’s the one that started the grocery store, and his friend from here was up there. and he told my Uncle James he would sell him half of the grocery store, and give his son the other half, and—if he would come down. So they all decided to come in 1910.</p>
<p>Now Mama, and Aunt Ruth, and Grandma stayed up there ‘til they got the house built on Laurel Avenue. It burned down later. And, um, that’s when they came and Mama went to grammar school to the high school. And then they built the new—what was—we went to junior high. And it was the high school, and that’s where Mama graduated in 1913. And so Uncle James had started the grocery store—I mean, he was half-owner. But then his son didn’t like it, and he sold his half [<em>laughs</em>]. So it was [inaudible] and it was all during the war.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And do you have memories of the store?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Huh?</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Do you have memories or picture of the store? Do you have any photographs of the store?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Ya know, it—it’s down—the building is still there, and it’s where <em>The</em> [<em>Sanford</em>] <em>Herald</em> is, right on the corner of Palmetto [Avenue] and First Street. And back then, the city didn’t decorate like they do[sic] now. And every, um, owner of the store would. And I remember Daddy putting— tying the Christmas tree to the lamp post [<em>laughs</em>] and—and decorating it for Aunt Marty. So, because Uncle James died recently, Aunt Marty ran the grocery store, so…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Well, some of these stories—well, the one story that—that the Creative San—well, first I wanted to ask you a little bit about how you, um, came to be interviewed for the Creative Sanford play? Do you know the…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Well, I have a friend who was involved in Creative Sanford during both of the productions they’ve made so far, and I went to school with her sister, and so she knew me, and she knew Mama, and she knew that she must have some kind of story that she can tell. And so she said, “We need to interview Luticia.”</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>They came and interviewed me.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>And yeah. So they came and started talking to her and that was the…</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>[inaudible]</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Particular story that they decided to go with.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>So they didn’t know when they came about the rolling pin. They just…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>No. They just knew that she had things.</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>And stories and that she had been here her whole life. That she—that she was born here and grew up here. And that’s why they wanted to know her view of—I mean, they asked her lots of questions about lots of things, and this was one of the things they felt that they could incorporate into the play.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Were you surprised that they chose to tell that story?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yes. I was. [<em>laughs</em>] And it was just real neat. And they did it really good[sic].</p>
<p><strong>Unidentified<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And—and they—they told ‘em how Daddy did the rolling pin, you know. So we were given front row seats.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski <br /></strong>Yeah. In the original, uh—the first play<a title="">[5]</a> one of mom’s best friends had a story in it. So they—they got so many stories that they couldn’t put them all in the first play. So they put ‘em in—they made a second play.<a title="">[6]</a> And they’re going to have a third one,<a title="">[7]</a> I think.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>They said they were doing—still doing interviews for…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I think they’re doing something now.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Yeah. They—they’re getting ready to.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And, um, so the other—I had a third [inaudible] just one other [inaudible] that I forgot in my notes here. Um, um, well, let me ask my—my colleagues here. Other questions that you would like to ask?</p>
<p>No? So we, uh, are also interested in this as a family story. So I’ll just step off the couch here for a minute and just have—if I could ask the two of you to join your mom. And we’ll just talk about it as a—this is a family. Oh, wow.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Just if you wanted to see some…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Fantastic.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Here, Cath. you sit in the middle and you get to hold the rolling pin.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>It’s my rolling pin.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>So if you wouldn’t mind introducing yourselves.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>I’m Linda Maliczowski. I’m the middle child [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>I’m Cathy Dingle. I’m the oldest. Our brother’s not here. He’s the baby.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And so you, um, were you part of the—the original interview. I know if you were, because you had the connection to your friend.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Right. And I live here.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>And you live here.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>In Sanford.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And so, um, for you, um, this is a—a family heirloom. And, um, as you told the story, it—you—your memory of this is not just in a hope chest, but, as, uh something your mom used and…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Oh yeah. Yeah. I mean we grew up with her doing that and eventually she told us all about it. But I mean, when someone would say, “Go get the rolling pin,” you knew what to get [<em>laughs</em>] and that was it. We had one rolling pin.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>And I really remember mostly biscuits. And pies.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Biscuits and pies, because I learned how to do pies.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Yes. And I learned to make a lot of biscuits with it so…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>So for you, the memories attached to it are family memories? Not, not World War II, American Legion, home front, sacrifice.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>No. It’s Mama baking with it. Using it.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>She also made donuts.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle <br /></strong>Donuts. That’s right.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>We had to roll them out and cut them with the little donut thing.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Cut them and fry them. Yes.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Well, one of the things that that makes me think about is that people cooked like that all the time, and now it’s more rare[sic]. And you have a choice, whether you want to do that. It’s not part of our everyday lives to have a rolling pin but you still, uh—I’m sorry, but who’s getting the rolling pin?</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski <br /></strong>Cathy.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>You still cook and you…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Oh, yes.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>So does that make you feel connected in some way through the, you know—through the [inaudible]?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Yes, because, you know, I remember Mama using it and I remember it, you know, in this house. And I remember it in our other house, and my granddaughters will help me use it. So, in fact, one asked me last week, she says, “Are we going to get to make Christmas cookies and use a rolling pin?” I said, “Yes. We are.”</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>So they’re—they’re used to that.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And, um, do you—do you also have things like recipes and cookbooks, and things like that, that are…</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Oh, yes.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>We have a student in our class who’s studying cookbooks. It’s actually a historical subject and an interesting one.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Oh [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski <br /></strong>There’s so many.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Oh, so many. Yes.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>So, uh, one of the things we’ve been thinking about in our class is the connection between personal stories and personal history. And then there’s the community history— Sanford. And then there’s national and world history. And I think that’s what’s unique about this object is that it connects all of them, you know?</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Yeah. Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>So we really thank you so much for sharing that story with us, and sharing your time with us. The only—the other thing is if, if it would be okay with you for us to take still photographs of some of these objects, uh, for inclusion in the exhibit.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski <br /></strong>Sure.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>That would be wonderful. Thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>No problem.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Do you—do you want anything else that we should talk about on the—the…</p>
<p><strong>Orleman<br /></strong>No. the recording—I think we’re…</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>We’re good?</p>
<p><strong>Orleman<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Okay. Very good. Thank you so…</p>
<p>One quick question, because we were talking about this before was the, um…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Fireless cooker.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Fireless cooker.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Fireless cooker, which is over there. But could you just tell us the story of the fireless…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>My—my son, um—he, um, went online [<em>clears throat</em>] to find out more about it [<em>clears throat</em>]. And he said that in one of the—years ago, presidents had one in his[sic] house, but I don’t remember.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>But they—tell him where this one came from.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>This one came from, um, Miss Bessie.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle <br /></strong>Yup</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And it—well, I already told you.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Yeah, but they want to video it. They want to…</p>
<p><strong>All <br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] I’m at it again. [<em>clears </em>throat] Well, in 1910, when my aunt came down, when she roomed in Miss Bessy’ house[?]. Her mother—[<em>clears throat</em>] excuse me. Her mother had a boarding house, and she did not cook on a Sunday, so she had the fireless cooker—that one. And, um, she would put the—the—it’s all there. Every piece. And the stones that had the thing to hook and put them in her fire. She had a wood stove. When they got hot, she’d put them in the fireless cooker. And then she would get her food hot on—in the pans, put them in, and close it up, and it would cook all night. And when she came home from church on Sunday, she’d open it up and she could serve it, but she didn’t have to cook. So that’s what—and my husband was fascinated with it. I said, “What do we do with it?” He says[sic], “I don’t care what we do with it. It’s a chest.” So it’s been in the living room in the old house. I told you we were in the French house years ago.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And that’s where we raised the kids. And Mama was—was still here and my aunts. And, um, [<em>clears </em>throat] so, um—where was I?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>You had it in the old house and then you brought it here.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah. I had it in the living room over there, and then I brought it here. So the fireless cooker’s always been in the living room. It’s been a piece to show people.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>But we never used it.</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>No. never used it.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>I plan on using it someday. Tell them about, um, how they used to use them during the war.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Oh, well, yeah. When Jimmy [Lee] researched it, he said they were used during the First World War—fireless cookers—mainly in tanks, so they could put the food in the cooker, and then they could go where they were going. And they would have the food.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>So, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>We don’t know where they got this one, but we’re glad they did.</p>
<p><strong>All<br /></strong>[<em>laugh</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>So…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>So, but that’s—and they had—had—in fact, I used to get the [inaudible] magazine. And somebody had put theirs in, only it was just a one, but they made one, and they made two, and ours is a three.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Great.</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>Three—whatever.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Three pans [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Three pots.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Three pots.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yes.Three pots</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>And you mentioned the French house. Where—what was the address of the French house?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>113 West Fifteenth Street.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Is it still there?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>It is. If you go up Oak Avenue—if you’re going up Oak, then you have to go around…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski</strong> <br />You would run into the house.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>You would run into the house if you went straight up, but—yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>My husband and I bought the house from Mom and Dad. And we lived there for quite a few years. We sold it when my son was about 13.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Oh, okay.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>And, it…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Just a minute.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Yeah. Do you have the thing from when we sold it?</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>So this is one of the—the—the same French as French Ave[nue] and…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Yeah. French Avenue was his brother.</p>
<p><strong>French <br /></strong>Oh, okay.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>There was an A. J., um, Seth and A.J. French. And, um, the man who owned our house was the mayor. I think he was the second mayor.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle <br /></strong>I think so.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Mom might remember, but he was one of the first mayors of Sanford.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Oh, okay. Great. But this was the house that was built by…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Right. And my grandmother was living here.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>I see.</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>And then when Mom and Dad—when they first got married, we lived over in Orlando and we moved over here when were seven and eight years old. And they found—that house was available so they bought that house. And we were there—the whole family—from when they bought it and then when I sold it, we were there for over 50 years.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Great. Wow. So, uh, this is great. I think, Andrew [Orleman], we can, uh—we’ll wrap up the…</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski<br /></strong>Oh, she’s got the, um—yeah. This isn’t what I was thinking but this is—it was on the Sanford our of home so…</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Oh, okay. I went two years ago. I didn’t—okay.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>That’s what it looks like now.</p>
<p><strong>French<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>But it looked like that [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Maliczowski</strong><br />Well Mom and Dad, when we were growing up it was [inaudible]…</p>

<span>Creative Sanford, Inc. is a non-profit organization created to manage <em>Celery Soup: Florida's Folk Life Play</em> community theater productions. The original idea for the Celery Soup project came from Jeanine Taylor, the owner of a folk-art gallery on First Street in Sanford, Florida. Their first production was </span><em>Touch and Go</em><span>, a play focusing on the people of Sanford and their determination to overcome various obstacles, including the Freeze of 1894-1895, the fall of Sanford's celery industry, and the closing of Naval Air Station (NAS) Sanford in the 1960s. In the process of producing the show, Creative Sanford decided to rehabilitate an historic building, the Princess Theater, which is located on 115 West First Street and owned by Stephen Tibstra. The Creative Sanford offices are housed in the Historic Sanford Welcome Center, located at 203 East First Street.</span>

Transcript
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>So, if you would like to give us the story of how you got to Sanford.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I was born here.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>How did your oldest relative get to Sanford?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>My grandmother, after my grandfather died in Mount Olive, North Carolina—she had four girls and two boys. And Mr. Nathan Garner from Sanford was a friend, and he was visiting when my grandfather died. And he had a grocery store down here, so my grandmother bought half interest, and they came in 1910. My oldest aunt didn’t come, but then the next one, Aunt Marty [Roberts]—she came and she roomed at Miss Bessie Long’s. Do you know Miss Bessie Long? Her house was on [North] Oak Avenue right across from the park. The Higgins’ house was next door and Aunt Marty roomed there.</p>
<p>And my uncle roomed in Captain Mark’s house which was on [East] Third [Street] and [South] Palmetto [Avenue]. They had the grocery store on First Street. And then Mr. Garner’s son didn’t want to be in the grocery store, so Uncle James [Roberts] bought him out and changed the name to Roberts’ Grocery.</p>
<p>Mother was in the first class to graduate from Sanford High [School] in 1913. And I graduated in 1942 and my children graduated in the [19]60s. and then my grandson graduated, so there were four generations that graduated. They changed the name from Sanford High to Seminole High [School]. That’s how we got here.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Now did you work in the store?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>No. I never worked, except at home. Right after I got out of high school, I worked at the ice plant<a title="">[1]</a> for a while, but I didn’t work there too long. I got married. James [Lee] went to Stetson [University]. He got back from the [United States] Army in December 1945. Our first son was born in DeLand, when he was going to Stetson.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>How did you meet?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>His sister lived in Palmetto, right behind us. And she was a friend of Mama’s. When he came back from the war, I met him and it worked.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>How long have you lived in this house?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Mom and Daddy built it when I was three years old, but I just lived here ‘til I was married. And then James and I—after Mama died, we owned the house over on [West] 15<sup>th</sup> [Street] and [South] Oak and that’s where we raised our children. After Mama died, we moved back here. I’ve been here ever since. This house was built in 1926. It’s 85. It’s younger than me [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Well, it isn’t holding up as well as you.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>It might be doing better [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>So how long did y’all go steady before you got married?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>From December ’45 to September ’46. You know, he had been overseas for three years. He was ready to live [<em>laughs</em>]. Go to school and have a family. I was too.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>When you live through such a traumatic thing as the [World] War [II], you learn what’s important. Was he in the Pacific [Theater]?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>India and China. He was over there, and my brother was in the Pacific too. Then when the Second World War started, my daddy was the shop superintendent of the Crown Paper Company, when they used to print all the paper that they used to wrap all the oranges in. and then when the war started in ’42, they asked for all scrap metal to be sent back. And Daddy was in the [American] Legion [Campbell-Lossing Post 53]. And there was a cannon in front, and Daddy helped dismantle it, and that’s when he got spoke[sic] to make my rolling pin with.</p>
<p>See, I graduated in ’42, and that’s when you always got a hope chest [<em>laughs</em>]. And mother was crocheting me a bedspread. Since Mama was making the bedspread, Daddy wanted to make something to go in my hope chest, so he had that spoke so—and they had a shop in the Crown Paper Company, so he could make my rolling pin.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>So your daddy made that rolling pin? Is it signed?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>No. I wanted to get a picture of the cannon, and I had a hard time. But I went down to the museum, and I started finding things, and I’ve got quite a bit of information on it.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Did they turn that cannon in during World War II for the metal?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah. For the metal and it had been used in the First World War and they put it in front of the [Legion] Hut when they built it.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Well, tell me how your father got involved in the legal system—in the jails, corrections…</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well, it was my husband. Well, he graduated from Stetson with a business degree, but then he went to Rollins [College] and got a Master’s [degree] in Criminal Justice. When he was in the Army, he was in the military police and was interested in all that. When the Parole Commission advertised for people, he applied, took the test, and passed, and was hired. Then we went to Orlando for a little while. And then when an opening came in Sanford, he wanted to raise our family here, so we came here and then he was with the state for 32 years.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Did he ever have any parolee problems—coming to the house?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>No. My husband was very good. People liked him. I remember after he was retired, and we were living here, we wanted to put a fence down the side in between the houses. And they said we couldn’t put a chain-link fence, and he went down and talked to somebody, and he said, “Well, you know, we wouldn’t put just an old chain-link fence. we’d put a green one down. We could put a barbed wire one down. It’s not prohibited.” The man said, “What?” And he said, “Yeah. I looked it up.” We got our fence [<em>laughs</em>]. It’s a nice fence. In fact, the people that live there, when they came home, they didn’t even notice it, ‘cause it was green and it was pretty, you know.</p>
<p>Anyway, the head of one of the departments said, “Mr. Lee, you don’t recognize me do you?” And James said, “No. I’m sorry. Should I know you?” And he said, “Well, I’m one of your success stories, and you told me…” He was very young. “I should think about what I wanted to be and start working toward it, and then try to get an education and become that. and here I am. I’m the head of the department.” I don’t know what department it was or anything, but he came home and said, “You know, I didn’t recognize—he’s a man now. He was a boy then. That was great.”</p>
<p>And another time—this was funny—is when the post office was Downtown. I still call it the post office. Not the one on Lakefront. the one on First Street.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson <br /></strong>Where the Historic [Sanford] Welcome Center is now. Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>He came out to the car and he had the funniest look on his face. and I said, “What’s the matter?” He said, “I just got a Father’s Day card from this elderly man that was so old, he didn’t have his regular birthday. So Daddy figured out and got him a birthday…” And he said, “This is your birthday.” So he sent Daddy a Father’s Day card [<em>laughs</em>]. He had a lot of stories. I don’t remember too many of them, but he did have a lot. He said he was going to write a book after he retired, but he never had time.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>Now how many kids do you have?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Three. Cathy [Lee Dingle], Linda [Lee Maliczowski], and Jimmy [Lee]. They were all under three—we had one, two, three. He retired and we’ve enjoyed it. And then he got sick, but everything’s okay.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>How many grandkids do you have?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well, we have five now. And then we had four great grandchildren. And when we add the in-laws, including me, there’s 18 of us. You know, it multiplies.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>And do you get together?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah. Maybe we don’t get all together at the same time. But Mendelson’s getting married, but it’ll be about a year. He just got engaged. He’s a nurse at the Florida Memorial [Medical Center] hospital in Daytona [Beach]. They grew up so fast. I’ve had several parties here in the yard, and she wants to have an engagement party in the yard now. In the ‘70s and ‘80s, [inaudible] Sawyer’s had a pasture out. And they had horses in it, but the horses were not where they had the parties. but they had what we call “pasture parties.”</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>Mm-hmm, I went to them.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>You did? Wonderful. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. But then we all got old—they don’t have pasture parties after you get old.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Describe a pasture party. What is a pasture party?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well, it was a pasture. And then Blake [Jones]—Joyce’s husband—he had a grill out there and a real small trailer and electricity. And he built picnic tables and a thing over it, and had a shed that he could keep chairs in. and when we went, we all took something—potluck. The men would cook on the grill and it was a lot of fun.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Did people ride horses or did you play games?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>No. The kids—but I’m talking about the old folks. We didn’t ride horses. We just talked and laughed and had a good time. Then we lost quite a few. And last summer, we lost a couple: Elizabeth Steele and Joyce Adams Jones. And I thought it would be a lot of fun to get all the old people back together, so I had a backyard pasture party. But I didn’t want anybody bringing potluck, so I had [inaudible] catering. I said, “We’re too old to try to cook and bring things.” We took a lot of pictures. we really had a good time.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>When you had these, was it for Fourth of July or Memorial Day or things like that or spontaneous?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Spontaneous. It was always on the weekend, because some people were still working. and it was a lot of fun. I had pictures of when we were young and we took pictures at the backyard party.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Have you all followed the tradition?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Well, she had one here in her yard recently.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>It was in November. And now they’re all saying, “When are you having the next one?” Well, our helpers had to get over the last one, because I couldn’t do that much they were having to do it.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>So it’s gone down to another generation. The leaders of the pasture party.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Anyway, those of us that were in it had a wonderful time. Benny and Louis Austin, Gladys and Doug Stenstrom, Joyce and Blake, of course. And Margie and Leo [inaudible], and [inaudible] and Charlie Smith. Ken and Mary McIntosh were here. Paddy [inaudible], Dr. Bill White. Even when James and I were at the beach and they had a condo[minium], and upstairs they had a meeting room. I called all the folks and said, “I’m having a beach pasture party.” so for a couple of years, we had a beach pasture party [<em>laughs</em>]. They’d all come over to the beach and go up to the 7<sup>th</sup> floor…</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>It sounds to me like you’re the social director of the group.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>No. I really wasn’t. But I did have the extra parties where everybody came and brought something. but Joyce and Blake and Margie really started it. They had the real pasture. I never had a real pasture. Did it in the backyard or the beach. It was Benny[?] and Phil Logan and…</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>All of these people that you’re naming—when your husband—when you were in Orlando, and he said, “I want us to move to Sanford and raise a family here,” were all his friends here? What is Sanford to you all?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Sanford’s home. We grew up here, we went to school here, and most of these people we went to school with.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>And did they leave and come back also?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Some of them left and came back. Now, James and I weren’t gone long. We were at Stetson for three years and then…</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>I was in the third grade when we came back here. I was eight. We were probably gone 10 or 11 years.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>But we were always coming back. You know, Mother and Daddy were right here in this house, so we were here a lot—most every week. And never felt like we had gone away. He did want to live here and raise our children.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>How many people were in Sanford when you came back? When I opened my restaurant in 1981 there were 20,000.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Really, just 20,000?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>That’s a lot more people.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>But it still has that small-town feel to me. The people we’ve talked to—I’m trying to get that feel of what was Sanford that brought everybody here.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well, like Margie and Leo [inaudible]. He was in the Navy. They were gone a long time, but then they came back. but then a lot of people stayed anyway. Joyce and Blake went to California, but then they came back.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>I think, as time goes on, when you’re younger, you want to leave and go to another town. And then you go to some big place and it’s not very friendly and a lot harder to get around. and you feel uncomfortable and you say, “Sanford wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. Let’s go home.”</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And you know everybody. Sometimes I go to town and I don’t know anybody and that feels funny. Our group—all of us—us pasture parties—we get together all the time.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Gladys moved to Jacksonville, right? Does she ever get back down?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah. She comes down. Of course, she came down when Ralph [inaudible] died. He’s her cousin. She’s coming down in April. Joyce and I have a birthday party for about four of us, but we couldn’t do it this time. But we’re going to do it—I think George said we were going to do it in June. Gladys couldn’t come for a while. She was sick, but she’s okay now. and we’re going to have a belated birthday party for Linda Roth. Linda Roth was a pasture girl [<em>laughs</em>]. Linda is Leroy Roth’s wife. They were pasture party people. Linda has moved down to where her daughter lives, but she’s coming back.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>She just moved right before Christmas right?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah. It’s hard to believe she’s not sitting in church every Sunday. She’s going to church down there.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Now, your kids were too young to have gone through integration of…</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>We were the class. Ingrid was the first person to be integrated, and she was in our class—Ingrid Burton. We were in junior high school. I remember pulling her across the street. she did not want to come. She was the only—in that whole school. We were upstairs in science class looking out the window, and they were pretty much pulling her across the street—her parents. She was the one they chose to be integrated. I’m sure she was very smart. She’s a schoolteacher out in Lake Mary. She came back here. There were only several black kids in our graduating class. Maybe about five or six in the whole class, I believe.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Of high school?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Of the class of ’68. There weren’t that many.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>Because integration was ’71. Forced integration was ’71.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>It was either 8<sup>th</sup> or 9<sup>th</sup> grade when she came. so she was with us for about five years.</p>
<p>I was on the yearbook staff and I was the editor my senior year. I don’t think there was a black in the senior class, because integration started in my class. Henry June—I remember him.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>That must have been hard for those children.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Ronald Thomas—I didn’t know him. At least Henry had someone. There were only two black students in the senior class of ’67.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Did you have any black friends or know any blacks?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>No. see, at that time, my mother always had help. We always had maids. And as I had my children, I had Ines. She worked for me for 25 years. We’re still friends. I send her a birthday card with a check and a Christmas card, and she calls me. When I lost James, she came here and she came to his funeral.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>And you didn’t have any of the prejudice? That is wonderful. With what we’re going through now,<a title="">[2]</a> there’s a lot of talk.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And see, to me, that’s not Sanford. I feel terrible that they are misrepresenting things, and they’re not telling the truth about Sanford, because I had never known that. When Charles and I were little…</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>There were eight in our junior class. That’s Ingrid. I don’t know if they all stayed and graduated, but Viola Jordan—we were in PE [physical education] together.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>My brother was two years younger than me, and he’s been gone 20 years. But Mama had—and he loved old Catherine, and she used to take him down to the lakefront to fish before he ever started to school. We were close to those that were there and worked for us.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Where did they live?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>They lived either in Georgetown or Goldsboro[?]. Now, when Aunt Ruth lived on Second and [inaudible], there was a two-story house. I don’t remember why it was built. It was used—downstairs had been for the wash. And then there was the upstairs that we had as a playroom. But then later, when we were in high school, Aunt Ruth had a maid that lived downstairs. It wasn’t like that movie—I haven’t seen it but…</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong><em>The Help</em>?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yeah. I haven’t seen it, but Cathy saw it. She said that somebody asked her if she knew anything like that, and she said she never knew anything like that in Sanford. We didn’t.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>It wasn’t an accurate portrayal is what I heard.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>It was in some areas.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>See, we’re not Mississippi or Alabama.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>You go to Mississippi, you go to Alabama—this is your story. But my mother’s from Mississippi, and her mother had a boarding house. And they had black maids that came in, and they literally lived in shotgun houses. You could shoot a gun straight through the house and go out the back door. Lived across the tracks. Absolutely, there was the line. That was very much in the small town of Mississippi, when I was a child. It was absolutely amazing to me, because I was a Navy brat. Born in the Dominican Republic. The only white child anywhere around and lived in California and New York. You know, very cosmopolitan compared to Mississippi. Yeah. but in Tennessee, we didn’t have that at all.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Cathy said that. She saw it with some of her friends and she said, “Was it like that in Sanford?” She said, “No.”</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Like what? Drinking in bathrooms?</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Separate bathrooms and drinking fountains.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Well, I remember as a kid in Orlando going to Sears[, Roebuck & Company] through the back door. We would park in one parking lot, and go back and there was a water fountain. one was black and one was white.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I do remember water fountains.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>They called it “colored” then. I remember we’d go in there, there’d be nobody there, and there’d be three of us and we all wanted a drink of water. And we were wanting to go over there and we were told that we couldn’t go over there. that that wasn’t our fountain. And I remember going, “But why not?”</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Did they have a fountain guard?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>We were just told not to use that. “Here. this is yours.” “But there’s three of us and I want a drink.”</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I do remember it was separate there, but not in homes. You had a maid. She used your bathroom.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>And of course, I guess you didn’t notice that they wouldn’t be in touch at drug stores. They couldn’t come through the front door. They had to go to the back door to get their prescriptions.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I didn’t know that. No.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>They wouldn’t let them. They wouldn’t serve them if they came in through the front door.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>I do remember that they had their own entrance in the movie theater. There was a wall. There was the downstairs part and then the balcony had a wall in between, and on one side, it was this section, and on the other, there was a door, and that’s where the blacks would come in. The theater was divided. We thought that was so weird.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>We never had that.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>Well, you see, this is what she and I were talking about. So many people were saying, “It just didn’t seem right.” and it seemed like such an injustice. How did it last so long? And how were there that many people who thought it was the right thing to do if everybody I meet says, “I felt like it was an injustice”?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>It’s just like when any law is made. It’s easy to make the law, but it’s hard to change it. These were laws. It was just, “Put the wall up.”</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Really and truly, I’m going to give us the credit for it, because I think men would just go along. And I think the women finally stood up and said, “I want my friend to be here.” We weren’t the militant—we were quiet and easing into it. The men were militant.</p>
<p>With everything that’s going on right now, we’re seeing more openness. We’re seeing more blacks downtown. We’re seeing more people speaking to each other. I was at the post office—the guy in front of me was black. The person behind me was black. They all looked me in the eye and smiled at me. Said, “Hello.” and I said, “Hello” back. I don’t know if they wouldn’t have at another time or maybe I’m more sensitive to it now, because of what’s happened.</p>
<p>Now, let’s go to the past a little bit. Can you tell about being in the [inaudible] Club?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well, I wasn’t in the [inaudible] Club. I was just there. Gladys invited us. I took my picture with them, but I wasn’t one of them as a youngster. I think they were younger than me. Gladys was younger. I think Gladys was 12 years younger than Florence [Stenstrom], Violet, and me.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Now was Florence Doug’s first wife?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Yes. And they were the first pasture party people. After she died, he married Patty [Stenstrom] and she was a pasture party person.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>Which grade school did you go to?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I went to Southside Grammar School, junior high, and then high school.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>Break that up. How many years did you go to Southside?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Four years—two. Junior high was two and high school was four years.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>Who was your first grade teacher? I’m just curious, because my dad and I had the same one.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>At the time, she was Ms. Chapman, but then she got married and she was Mrs. [inaudible], and they belong to our church too. When we moved back over here, she was substituting. She had a kindergarten, and the children would stay with Mama, and Mrs. [inaudible] would let them come and stay in her kindergarten. It didn’t matter if they were students or not. She loved us.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Can you think of the scariest time you ever had? Gladys tells the story of how frightened she got when she saw the Ku Klux Klan on the corner of Melonville [Avenue].</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I remember one time, Jimmy was sick. They had to do a bone marrow—I remember Cathy went with me. Cathy always wanted to be a doctor. She’d even keep her eyes open whenever the doctor would do something to her. I’d always close my eyes. I remember that I couldn’t talk. I couldn’t say anything. I remember I was listening—that they were saying that they had to do the bone marrow test. and after they did it, it was alright. His white blood count was normal in the bone marrow test. I remember being scared then.</p>
<p>I wasn’t scared when I had the kids. Of course, I was awake when Cathy was born, because all three were Caesarian [sections]. But hers had gone too far, so they had a tent in front of me, and the doctor asked me, “Do you feel that?” And I said, “Yes. it feels like you’re running a pen down my tummy.” When I heard her cry, he started doing something and I said, “Are you getting another one?” This was 67 years ago. I didn’t know anything back then. He said, “No. it just takes longer to sew you up than to cut you open.” I can remember all that very plainly. I always thought everything was going to be alright.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>What’s your happiest memory? What memories always make you feel great?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Getting married, having all my children, moving back to Sanford. I was thrilled. And buying that house over on 15<sup>th</sup> Street. The dining room was fantastic. It had beamed ceilings, and stained-glass windows, and a built in buffet all the way around it. The floor was striped—dark wood, black and gold.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Like inlaid wood? Oh, man.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And I remember James said, “Honey, we can’t heat this house.” It had 12-foot ceilings, you know. And I said, “Honey, that’s alright. I’ll put my coat on and I’ll go sit in the dining room and say, ‘This is why we bought the house.’” That was a happy time.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>And how long did you live there?</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well, honey, it felt like I lived there longer. It was just 18 years, but the kids all went to school and college, the girls got married, I lost Mom and Daddy. You know, so much happened. I’ve been here since ’79.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>It was ’78 or ’79, because I got married in ’76. and then we bought the house from them when they moved back here. We sold the house about eight years ago.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>You see, they had it for longer than we did, but it seemed like we lived there longer, because so much happened. It just seemed like I’ve been here since then, and I’ve had all the grandchildren, but of course, we had grandchildren over there. You lived there like 27 years.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>And before that.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>And you lived there before that, because you grew up there.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>And did you love the dining room just as much?</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Oh, yeah. It was a great house. It was huge though. I have a son and he is now 23, and he was a big person. And we were gone all the time. Because of baseball and all these things and it was just too big of a house to take care of, and we decided it was time to find a smaller place.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>You see, I was there all the time, and all the neighbor kids were there and my kids too. I had Ines. she worked. </p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>And when Joshie [Dingle] was little, there weren’t any kids in the neighborhood. We had to import them.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>If they ever put it on the [Sanford Holiday] Tour [of Historic Homes], y’all should go. I can’t go back. I just don’t want to see it again.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>She means since it’s not in the family anymore. It’s a beautiful house, and they’ve done a lot of work since they got it.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>It was 14 rooms and look how many outside doors. If I was there by myself, I could not live there by myself, like I can here.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>I can. It was easy.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>I remember when James and I wanted to move back here, Linda said, “If you ever sell this place, I go with the house.” I remember her saying that.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>So I bought the house instead. I always said the house had a protective blanket over it. It was protected.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>It just felt that way.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>I could walk through the house blindfolded. I would walk through it in the dark with no problem. I knew where I was going. When the tornado hit here, I was out of town when it happened, and Daddy called me from here. I was visiting a friend in Washington, and Daddy said, “You need to come home. The tornado came.” that was when Sarah [Dingle] was born, or about 35 years ago.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>Would this be in ’83? The real bad hailstorm…</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>The hailstorm was in ’83. The tornado was in the ‘90s.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>The tornado was later.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>I think they were at the same time, because I was looking at the sky and it was green.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>It was a hailstorm, but it was also a tornado.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>It went all the way around the house, because we had to have all the windows and screens replaced.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle <br /></strong>Yeah, but that was here. Over there, we went back and nothing, except some of the roof, was—a friend of mine, Cindy, was staying in the house when I was gone, and she left work. She said she drove home and there was stuff all over the place. it had been getting bad. She thought, “Man, I’ve got to get in that house all by myself and it’s dark.” She first went in and didn’t try to turn the lights on, because she knew there wouldn’t be any. and then she walked in the room and forgot and turned the light on and they were all on. We didn’t lose power. we didn’t lose anything.</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>And that’s Cindy Slaten Lee.</p>
<p><strong>Thompson<br /></strong>What about the hurricanes? Were you living in that house when they had the four…</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>I remember living there during Hurricane Donna. That was when we were kids. I was living there when—I remember that I cooked everything in my freezer, because I was afraid it was going to go bad, because we were going to lose power. and then it didn’t go bad and I had to have all these people over to eat all the food. I remember that was the only time we boarded windows, because we always taped windows. But it was supposed to be bad, and that house is three feet off the ground and then the windows are humongous. we went and got plywood and boarded up that house. It was just me and my husband, and I was there holding the boards, and then the hurricane never came. But I would rather be prepared. I was in the other house when the other four came. They weren’t fun.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>But, you see, in this house, the worst we had was when there was a hailstorm and it went all around the house. When it comes to hurricanes, I never worried. This is a well-built house.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>I made her come to my house during those four hurricanes, and the next time, she said, “I’ll stay home. You have to come to my house next time.”</p>
<p><strong>Lee <br /></strong>You know, when I was little, I remember telling Daddy, “I’m scared somebody will come.” And my Daddy would say, “Honey, don’t worry. If anybody comes, as soon as morning comes, and they see you, they’ll bring you right back.”</p>
<p><strong>Donaldson<br /></strong>Tell her the story about the pond.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>Well, my Daddy built the pond in the ‘30s. My mama wanted it, and we went to Daytona and got the Kokino[sp] rock, and it’s still there around the pond. Heidi has to take care of it by herself. She’s got three lots. I’ve just got two. She comes over and takes care of my pond. It’s got fish, water lilies, and I’ve got stuff blooming in the pond. In the early ‘30s, you might find more ponds around. They were popular. People liked to have them. Mama’s fish were tame. Mine aren’t tame. Mama could put her finger in the water and wiggle it and the fish would come. When I come by the pond, mine hide.</p>
<p><strong>Dingle<br /></strong>Well, maybe because they think that you’re going to eat them like the owl did. Heidi has an owl that lives in her backyard and he’s eaten some of the fish.</p>
<p><strong>Lee<br /></strong>It’s a natural habitat over there. It’s a shame she isn’t really out in the woods, you know. She’s got a plaque from the state that says her backyard is a habitat.</p>
