Description
A postcard depicting what was once believed to be an old Franciscan mission with origins dating back to the time of Christopher Columbus (ca. 1451-1506). However, Captain Charles Henry Coe (1856-1954) debunked this myth in <em>Debunking the So-Called Spanish Mission Near New Smyrna Beach, Volusia County, Florida</em> in 1941. Instead, Capt. Coe revealed evidence that the site was actually a sugar mill, which is now known as the New Smyrna Sugar Mill Ruins, which was destroyed by Native Americans in 1845, just five years after it was erected. The ruins were added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Also known as the Cruger and DePeyster Sugar Mill, the ruins are located at 600 Old Mission Road in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.<br /><br />This postcard is part of a collection of postcards kept by Lucile Campbell, a schoolteacher in Sanford, Florida, for 30 years. In 1931, she took advantage of a special rate for teachers and sailed to Europe, where she traveled for several months and is thought to have acquired many of these postcards. During the 1940-1941 school year, Campbell taught at Sanford Grammar School. Before her retirement in 1970, she taught at many other area schools, including the Oviedo School, Westside Grammar School, and Pinecrest Elementary School. Campbell used these postcards as aids in her classrooms to teach advanced subjects, such as Shakespearean drama. The collection, along with her other teaching aids, papers, and photographs, was later found at Sanford Grammar School after it became the University of Central Florida's Public History Center. Campbell's postcard collection and photographs provide insight into the life of a respected Florida educator.

Description
Captain Charles Henry Coe (1856-1954) was born in Torrington, Connecticut, on February 3, 1856, to William Henry Coe (1824-1879), who founded the town of Glencoe, and Deborah Little Archer Coe (1824-1912). In 1874, his family migrated to Jacksonville, Florida, due to his father's poor health. At age 18, Coe began working for the Jacksonville Tri-Weekly Union. In 1875, Coe moved to New Smyrna Beach and started his first newspaper, <em>The Florida Star</em>. Coe was appointed Deputy Collector of Customs for the port at New Smyrna in 1879, after his father died. In 1880, Coe moved to Glencoe and began producing photographs. Seven years later, he moved to back to Torrington, where he met and married Emma Sopia Johnson (1846-1931). The following year, Coe moved to Asheville, North Carolina, and then later to Highlands, where he established <em>The Highlands Star</em>. In 1889, he moved to Washington, D.C. to work for the Government Printing Office (GPO). <br /><br />Coe published <a href="http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00101387/00001" target="_blank"><em>Red Patriots: The Story of the Seminoles</em></a>, a book about the plight of the Seminole tribe. A copy of <em>Red Patriots</em> was given to every member of Congress, which later passed legislation allowing Seminole land rights in Florida. In 1912, Coe returned to Florida and spent the next 20 years traveling the coast in his cabin cruiser called <em>The Buccaneer</em>. After retiring from the GPO in 1921, Coe spent much of his time exploring Florida's coast as an amateur archaelogist and publishing books, including <em>Juggling a Rope</em> (1927), <em>The Art of Knife Throwing</em> (1931), and <em>Debunking the So-Called Spanish Mission</em> (1941). He died of pneumonia on March 23, 1954.

The following year, Coe moved to Asheville, North Carolina, and then later to Highlands, where he established <em>The Highlands Star</em>. In 1889, he moved to Washington, D.C. to work for the Government Printing Office (GPO). <br /><br />Coe published <a href="http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00101387/00001" target="_blank"><em>Red Patriots: The Story of the Seminoles</em></a>, a book about the plight of the Seminole tribe. A copy of <em>Red Patriots</em> was given to every member of Congress, which later passed legislation allowing Seminole land rights in Florida. In 1912, Coe returned to Florida and spent the next 20 years traveling the coast in his cabin cruiser called <em>The Buccaneer</em>. After retiring from the GPO in 1921, Coe spent much of his time exploring Florida's coast as an amateur archaelogist and publishing books, including <em>Juggling a Rope</em> (1927), <em>The Art of Knife Throwing</em> (1931), and <em>Debunking the So-Called Spanish Mission</em> (1941). He died of pneumonia on March 23, 1954.

Sugar--United States
Description
A brochure for the New Smyrna Sugar Mill Ruins, located at 600 Old Mission Road in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. For many years, the site, also known as the Cruger and DePeyster Sugar Mill, was mistaken for the ruins of a Spanish mission with origins dating back to the time of Christopher Columbus (ca. 1451-1506). This misconception led Captain Charles Henry Coe (1856-1954) to publish <em>Debunking the So-Called Spanish Mission Near New Smyrna Beach, Volusia County, Florida</em> in 1941. The steam sugar and saw mill was destroyed by Native Americans in 1845, just five years after it was erected. The ruins were added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

Description
<p>Although visual art had been explored in Central Florida, Orange County’s visual arts community truly came alive during the years of 1932-1982, thanks to the vision of 20 distinguished artists and arts leaders. Their influence not only helped build a solid foundation for the local art community but some of Orange County’s local Art Legends significantly influenced modern American Art.<br /><br />To recognize the leadership and celebrate the accomplishments of these arts visionaries, arts administrators from 11 Orange County museums and galleries joined forces and shared collections to create the <em>Art Legends of Orange County</em> initiative.<br /><br />This community-wide collaboration runs throughout the 2015-2016 arts season and includes more than 15 exhibitions and events. <em>Art Legends of Orange County</em> celebrates 20 distinguished artists and patrons who helped build Orange County’s vibrant cultural landscape.</p>

Description
Doris Marie Leeper in her studio in 1956. Known to many as "Doc," Leeper was a trailblazing abstract painter and sculptor based in Eldora, Florida, near New Smyrna Beach. Originally from North Carolina, Leeper found an artistic oasis in Central Florida. The region provided her with the space to buy a house and work in relative isolation, but also augmented her interest in natural preservation. Today, the Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve remains a testament to her environmental dedication. Leeper’s impact on Central Florida also became apparent through her support for institutions; for example, she was a founder of the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach. Leeper’s local legacy manifests itself most profoundly through her artistic production. Her bold lines, strong color palette, and propensity for clean lines aesthetically aligned her with minimalism.<br /><br />Leeper’s painting evolved from representational to non-objective over time. She embraced a language of abstraction more typical of the prevailing New York art world in the 1960 and 1970s, as opposed to the dominant aesthetic in Florida during the same time period. She showed her work locally and regionally with regularity. Her work was celebrated by significant solo exhibitions at the Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, North Carolina. The process of mining local histories yields the legacies of talented artists who have often been discarded from mainstream narratives. When one engages deeper with Leeper’s work, it is not difficult to conclude that her myriad two- and three-dimensional works are worthy of not only a local, but a national story.

Description
<p>Although visual art had been explored in Central Florida, Orange County’s visual arts community truly came alive during the years of 1932-1982, thanks to the vision of 20 distinguished artists and arts leaders. Their influence not only helped build a solid foundation for the local art community but some of Orange County’s local Art Legends significantly influenced modern American Art.<br /><br />To recognize the leadership and celebrate the accomplishments of these arts visionaries, arts administrators from 11 Orange County museums and galleries joined forces and shared collections to create the <em>Art Legends of Orange County</em> initiative.<br /><br />This community-wide collaboration runs throughout the 2015-2016 arts season and includes more than 15 exhibitions and events. <em>Art Legends of Orange County</em> celebrates 20 distinguished artists and patrons who helped build Orange County’s vibrant cultural landscape.</p>

Description
Doris Marie Leeper in 1996. Known to many as "Doc," Leeper was a trailblazing abstract painter and sculptor based in Eldora, Florida, near New Smyrna Beach. Originally from North Carolina, Leeper found an artistic oasis in Central Florida. The region provided her with the space to buy a house and work in relative isolation, but also augmented her interest in natural preservation. Today, the Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve remains a testament to her environmental dedication. Leeper’s impact on Central Florida also became apparent through her support for institutions; for example, she was a founder of the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach. Leeper’s local legacy manifests itself most profoundly through her artistic production. Her bold lines, strong color palette, and propensity for clean lines aesthetically aligned her with minimalism.<br /><br />Leeper’s painting evolved from representational to non-objective over time. She embraced a language of abstraction more typical of the prevailing New York art world in the 1960 and 1970s, as opposed to the dominant aesthetic in Florida during the same time period. She showed her work locally and regionally with regularity. Her work was celebrated by significant solo exhibitions at the Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, North Carolina. The process of mining local histories yields the legacies of talented artists who have often been discarded from mainstream narratives. When one engages deeper with Leeper’s work, it is not difficult to conclude that her myriad two- and three-dimensional works are worthy of not only a local, but a national story.

Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of rock music in Central Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
Rock music is uniquely American, emerging in the late 1940s and 1950s, with the influence of African-American blues, jazz, boogie woogie, and gospel, mixed with predominantly white country and Western swing music. This hybrid genre helped define a generation, breaking down color barriers in the South by merging African musical traditions with European instrumentation. The popularization of rock music coincided with the African-American Civil Rights Movement, which sought to end racial segregation and discrimination in the South. The sudden interest of white teens in black “race music” provoked a backlash among traditionalists and Americans found themselves in the middle of a “culture war.” The counterculture youth of the 1950s and 1960s rejected many of the mainstream cultural standards of their parents’ generation, especially in regards to race.
During the First and Second Great Migration of the 20th century, African Americans and whites began living in closer proximity to one another, more so than ever before, resulting in both races emulating the other’s style in fashion, art, and music. Rock music influenced the language, attitudes, ideas, and trends of a generation. The genre continued to evolve, incorporating new elements with each subsequent decade. During the 1960s, the subgenres of folk rock, jazz rock, country rock, blues rock, psychedelic rock, glam rock, and progressive rock emerged. Musicians in the 1970s and 1980s created punk rock, Southern rock, heavy metal, new wave, and alternative rock. By the 1990s, artist continued to expand the genre by creating rap rock, reggae rock, grunge, and indie rock.
Florida has been at the heart of rock music and the “culture war” since the 1950s. The recording industry was actively making rock records in Tampa during the 1960s and in Miami during the 1970s. Gram Parsons, a native of Winter Haven, is credited as the father of the country rock movement of the late 1960s, and Southern rock emerged from Jacksonville during the 1970s and 1980s, with bands such as the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Outlaws, and Molly Hatchet. These contributions played an integral part in the history of rock music.

Sanford Collection
Description
The present-day Sanford area was originally inhabited by the Mayaca/Joroco natives by the time Europeans arrived. The tribe was decimated by war and disease by 1760 and was replaced by the Seminole Indians. In 1821, the United States acquired Florida from Spain and Americans began to settled in the state.
Camp Monroe was established in the mid-1830s to defend the area against Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. In 1836, the United States Army built a road (present-day Mellonville Avenue) to a location called "Camp Monroe," during the Second Seminole War. Following an attack on February 8, 1837, the camp was renamed "Fort Mellon," in honor of the battle's only American casualty, Captain Charles Mellon.
The town of Mellonville was founded nearby in 1842 by Daniel Stewart. When Florida became a state three years later, Mellonville became the county seat for Orange County, which was originally a portion of Mosquito County. Citrus was the first cash crop in the area and the first fruit packing plant was constructed in 1869.
In 1870, a lawyer from Connecticut by the name of Henry Shelton Sanford (1832-1891) purchased 12,548 acres of open land west of Mellonville. His vision was to make this new land a major port city, both railway and by water. Sitting on Lake Monroe, and the head of the St. Johns River, the City of Sanford earned the nickname of “The Gate City of South Florida.” Sanford became not only a transportation hub, but a leading citrus industry in Florida, and eventually globally.
The Great Fire of 1887 devastated the city, which also suffered from a statewide epidemic of yellow fever the following year. The citrus industry flourished until the Great Freezes of 1894 and 1895, causing planters to begin growing celery in 1896 as an alternative. Celery replaced citrus as the city's cash crop and Sanford was nicknamed "Celery City." In 1913, Sanford became the county seat of Seminole County, once part of Orange County. Agriculture dominated the region until Walt Disney World opened in October of 1971, effectively shifting the Central Florida economy towards tourism and residential development.

Transcript
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>This is an interview with Gracie Marie Stinecipher, the historian of the First Baptist Church in Sanford. And, uh, this interview is being conducted on July 13<sup>th</sup>, 2010 at the Museum of Seminole County History. The interviewer is Diana Dombrowski, representing the museum for the Historical Society of Central Florida. I’d just like to start with a couple basic questions, like, where and when were you born?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I was born in Sanford—Fernald-Laughton Memorial Hospital.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Cool. When were you born, if you don’t mind?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>September 19<sup>th</sup>, 1936.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. So you grew up in Sanford?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Where in Sanford did you live? Could you describe it?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I lived at 2404 Park Avenue. And at the time, that was, Park Avenue was [U.S. Route] 17-92. It was the highway.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. Did you live close to the railroad station or anything?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>No.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>I’m sorry. My last interviewer[sic] —she lived off of Park Avenue, as well. And she mentioned her family arriving on the train. So I wasn’t sure how close it was. I’m sorry.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>No. That’s way downtown.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. ’m sorry. Um, how—when did your family come to Florida?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>My mother came here in 1913—I believe, as an eight-year-old—with her family. And my dad came in 1926.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>What did their families do here?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>My mother’s father was a butcher. He had a store down on First Street. Grocery store, butcher shop, whatever. My dad’s family—his dad was a farmer in Tennessee. He was born in Spring City, Tennessee. My mother was born in Butte, Montana.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Wow. That’s a-ways.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Oh, yes. There’s a story there.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>What brought them to Florida?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I really don’t know. My mother—my grandmother and grandfather—my grandfather was from England. He came over, to the Gold Rush in Canada, Alaska. What was the word? Anyway, and they met in Montana. I have no idea why my grandmother was there. And they married in Montana. My mother was born there. My aunt, Gladys [Stemper], was born in Phoenix, Arizona. My uncle, Jack [Stemper], was born in Homeland, Georgia, and my uncle, Bill [Stemper], was born in Sanford.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski <br /></strong>Wow. That’s a lot of traveling.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Did you grow up around all these relatives?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Not those, no. My grandfather Stemper—my grandmother was Marie Stemper—left the family. I think about 1925. And they didn’t find him until 1960—I believe it was—in Baton Rouge[, Louisiana]. Yeah. That was quite a thing.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Growing up in Sanford, were you always a member of the [First] Baptist Church [of Sanford]?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I was always attending. I joined the church in 1947.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. Alright. What did your parents do? You know, was your mother a homemaker?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>My mother was a schoolteacher.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. Where did she teach?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>She taught at Sanford Grammar [School], Sanford Junior High [School], and Seminole High School.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. Where did you go to school? Did you go to those as well?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes. Also, Southside Primary [School].</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>I’d like to find out a little more about what it was like to grow up in Sanford. How was it different from then? What changes did you see and witness growing up? Do you have any favorite memories growing up in the town?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>It was a fairly small town back then. About 10-12-15,000. It was a fairly close-knit community. You knew almost everybody. Everybody you went to school with. Or at least, knew of them.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>It was a time when most people attended church. I think it could be, because there wasn’t much else to do. But I think, I mean—you know, the downtown churches were very, very active. The youth groups were really overflowing. And it was really a great time to grow up. So, that—we—some of the memories I think some of us have are somebody always mentions the drugstores, you know. Preston’s Drugstore, where we congregated downtown. And Robert Anderson. And McColonel’s Drugstore was at Twenty-Fifth [Street] and Sanford Avenue, and he had curb service, delicious milkshakes. And a lot of the fellas worked at some of these drugstores. And there was the Pig ‘n Whistle. It had a big drive-in space there. It was at Twenty-Fifth and Park [Avenue]. And then Angel’s Eat Shack was a restaurant. It’s still there—the building—on 25—something—Sanford Avenue. I mean, the people of that era when I grew—there wasn’t much else. But we had a lot of good memories at all those places. And the zoo.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes. The zoo downtown. Yeah. I was part of the Girl Scouts. We met down at the old depot. Down where—what’s the bank? SunTrust Bank is—right down in there. Every Friday afternoon, from the time I was 10 years old ‘til I graduated from high school. It was really, really good. We had a lot of good memories there.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>What did you do in the Girl Scouts?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Well, of course, we went through the Girl Scout handbook, learning all the things for the badges and things. And we’d have slumber parties down there. And Miss Henton, who was our leader—I can remember her sitting up in the middle of the depot. This big depot, you know, keeping an eye on us throughout the night. We went camping. I still don’t know where it was that we camped. It was somewhere west of town by the lake, and it was just sort of—the kitchen was very primitive. And the long table, you know, where we ate, and the outhouse—we called “the Commishy.” Because some commissioner had had it built. That was the story. But that was fun. We pitched tents. We only were only there about three nights or something like that. Got to know a lot of the older girls, because they were our leaders, and then we became leaders.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Were you a leader in the troupe?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Well, we all were when we got into, you know—later on in high school. We led the little ones, the younger ones.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski </strong>That’s nice. Did you go to college?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes. I went to Maryville College in Tennessee for two years, and then I transferred to Stetson [University], and I graduated in 1958.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Did you graduate with plans to become a teacher?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes. I majored in elementary education.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Did you get married?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>No.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. Where did you begin teaching?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I began teaching at Lake Silver Elementary in Orlando. And I had an apartment over there in Winter Park for three years.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Winter Park is nice. What do you remember from living there?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>From living in Orlando? In Winter Park? Well, it was a much smaller place then. I was able to drive around, you know, and not get lost, or too much lost. I became a member of North Park Baptist Church and thoroughly enjoyed it. Made a lot of good friends, some that I’m still in contact with. Dr. Edgar Cooper was my pastor, and he later became editor of <em>The Florida Baptist Witness</em>, which is the state newspaper. I taught fifth grade.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>What was the education system like? What was it like to teach then as it is maybe compared to teaching later?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>The kids were much more well-behaved.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Really?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher <br /></strong>Yes. There was more parent participation. Yes. I only taught over there three years. And then I could not afford to continue. I was making $360 a month and not being paid in the summer. So I’d come home and borrow money from my dad to get through the summer, and then I’d get him paid back by Christmas. So, I figured that couldn’t last too long. So I moved back home to Sanford in ’61.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I could not find a teaching job in elementary schools in the upper grades in Sanford, so I went down to the personnel director, Stuart Gadshaw, see if he could help me. And he had taught me math in high school. He said, “You’d make a good math teacher!” And he sent me up to Mr. [Andrew Joseph] Bracken, principal of Seminole High, and he hired me. So I had to go back to school and get certified in math.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Did they pay your way through school?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Oh, heavens no.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. How long—when did you begin teaching there?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>The fall of ’61.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>How long did you teach there?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I officially retired in ’92. But I had been on medical leave for a few years before that.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Wow. So, all that time at Seminole High School. You must have seen a lot of things. High school—wow. I’ve heard that’s a really hard time to teach.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I think junior high’s the worst.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Really?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yeah. I remember even when I was in junior high. No—I thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially the first, the ‘60s were really good.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Yeah?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes. I had really, really good students then, and I still keep in contact with a lot of them. Go to the reunions, and so on.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>That’s nice.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>You’ve probably heard the story about, you know, when integration came.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>I was going to ask. Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yeah. First, I think it was about 1967 or 1968, they had something called “Freedom of Choice.” I think that was what it was called. And the black students could attend the white schools. I think they had to apply or something. So we did have a few black students there in the late ‘60s. Then in 1970, they closed Crooms [High School]. And the Crooms students came over to Seminole High School. Seminole High did not want them. Crooms did not want to be there.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Oh, yeah. That sounds tense.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>That year, 1970-71, was terrible. We were on double sessions. I was on the teaching in the afternoon session, and in the mornings they would have had fights and all kind of problems, and I’d get to school around 10 or 10:30, and they’d already had to close school several times. So that was a bad year. And the early ‘70s was still pretty hard.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>How were the students who elected to go to school received?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>You mean in the late ‘60s? They were received very well. They were the good students. In fact, one of the boys served as president of his senior class.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Wow. That’s amazing. How long did it take for, uh, black students to be more accepted in the high school? Do you think they are now? Did they end up building another high school that served that neighborhood?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Oh, no. No, no. They’re all at Seminole still. It’s the only high school in Sanford.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Oh, okay. I didn’t know that.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Well, they’ve done something to Crooms [Academy of Institute Technology]—I haven’t kept up. But it’s a school of technology or something like that. Yeah. But that’s just been in recent years. And then they later made the school into a ninth grade center. I guess, right after we merged. Somewhere in there. So the ninth graders went there until—a few years later, all the ninth graders came back to Seminole High. I can’t remember the years.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>How were the rest of the ‘70s like, in terms of tension at the school? Did it end up getting resolved somehow?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Gradually. Gradually. It was hard. It really was. And then there was still one thing that always irked me was, the first couple years was okay. In the homecoming. They’d have a black queen and a white queen.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher </strong>And that just kept on for years. And I thought, can’t we get together?</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Wow. That’s like two separate worlds in one school.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I know. I know. It was bad. And, well, I think there’s always going to be a little tension. But, uh, it gradually got better.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. How did things like Cape Canaveral affect—you know, the opening of the [John F. Kennedy] Space Center affect—did you see any effects from that in Sanford? Like people coming here for the space industry? Or did you teach anyone related to that?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>No. No. The Navy base was here. So I taught a lot of Navy students in the ‘60s. Of course, the Navy moved from here in ’68. But, yes. A lot of Navy kids. And the school, Seminole High, was right in the pattern of the jets. Because when they’d have their touch-and-go, you know, to practice landing on the carriers, it would come right over Seminole High. They would come, and then there’d be a lull, and you know, just keep on coming. And you’d just have to learn to teach in between the comings and goings.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>How did the town change after the base left, do you think? Did the population drop very dramatically?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Oh, I can’t go in—probably a little bit. Something like that always affects things, but something else always comes along. But Sanford was a very good Navy town. The personnel always seemed to think Sanford was a good place to be and a lot of Navy people retired here.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>I have a couple more questions about general events like that, like the opening of [Walt] Disney [World Resort]? What do you remember from when Disney opened down here?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Was it very significant at all?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Well, I guess it was. It was exciting to go down there the first time or two. But, as you realize, gradually the impact has come up to Sanford, because of the growth. That’s what really brought the growth to Seminole County.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Yeah. What do you think about that? Do you think that’s a positive thing?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Oh, in some ways. But I’d rather it go back to, you know, the old days with the smaller population.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Yeah. Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>But you can’t go back.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Through this time, you know, that you were a member of the [First] Baptist Church [of Sanford], was the church very involved in community activities? Did they have local events, or did they throw parties in the town or something? How were they involved in the community?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>How were they involved in the community?</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Well, uh, you know, did they take measures to feed or serve the homeless or anything?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>We do now. We do now. Yes. We have a program on Sundays. I think about 1:30, they feed the homeless. I think about 40 or 50 that come. And they have a devotional and so on. I don’t know exactly what the program is, but yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Uh, how has the church during your time as a member? Or as a historian? Has it changed at all?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes. It’s changed. It used to be a very large church with a lot of young people. When I was growing up we had—probably my high school class—we had about half the class at First Baptist.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Of course, we were just a little over a hundred in the class, but—maybe not quite that many. And the other churches too—they were very active and large Sunday schools had their training unions and MYAF and whatever. Most people went to church back then. Now—and then of course, we had the downtown churches. There were a few scattered out, but mainly the First Baptist, First Methodist [Church of Sanford], First Presbyterian [Church of Sanford], and the Catholics<a title="">[1]</a> were all right downtown and very, very active, all of them. Back up to the ‘60s or early ‘70s.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>But the downtown churches are all losing members. Of course, there are other churches too. But still, it’s sad. It really is.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Why do you think that is?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I don’t know. People seem to have more to do. And, I just—I don’t know. Not interested in church anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. Where was the original church—the Baptist church?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>The original church is the same church—the same property. It was a wooden church. Are you familiar with the First Baptist Church downtown?</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>No.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>No. Okay. It’s on—well our address is 519 Park, but the original church was a small wooden building. The church was organized in 1884, and the wooden building was finished, I think, by the end of that year. It was on the corner of Sixth [Street] and Park. And that’s where our brick church was built later. That wooden church was moved and the brick church was built there—built in two parts. The first section, which included a Sunday school, the front part, was built in 1914. And the second part, the auditorium part, was built in 1920. Then, in 1949-50, the education building next door was built. Let’s see. The new—well, the next educational building, which is now the Chance Education Building, which was named for our former pastor who died while he was a pastor in ’71. It was built in ’66. That’s on the corner of Fifth [Street] and Magnolia [Avenue]. And in all that process, we bought all that property on that block. House by house. And they all had to be moved to build that education building or demolish. Some were moved, some were demolished. And finally, in 1994, we broke ground during our 110<sup>th</sup> anniversary—broke ground for our new sanctuary, which we entered in August of 1995. We finally got it paid for a couple of years ago.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>The education building sounds enormous. Taking over the whole…</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Well, not the whole property. But we’ve got four buildings there on the block. And we also have a youth building, which is across the street on Magnolia.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. You talked about how active the church community was. Was the church community—yes? How was it active? What kind of events or activities did the church hold? You know, what was Sunday service like? I don’t know much about it. I don’t know much about the First Baptist Church.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Oh, we had Sunday school. We still do, and worship service on Sunday mornings, and then at night had Baptist Training Union, BTU—Training Union, whatever—for the entire church, you know. We had different unions—learning. In Sunday school, you learn more from the Bible, you know, like that, but in Training Union it was more about other—I remember once, we had to learn about other different religions. We learned Baptist beliefs. Things like that. And the members took part were—were assigned parts. That was a good learning experience for people, especially young people, you know, getting up in front of people and doing. That was good. There was also a lot of socials. I remember having hayrides and things like that. Parties and stuff. You know, it was a good youth group. And the older people had their own things. Somewhere along the line, Training Union went out the window. I don’t understand. Things change.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>But we still have Sunday night church.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>And, uh, other things, you know.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. What is your role as church historian like? What do you do for the church?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Well, in the 100<sup>th</sup> anniversary in 1984, we had a big celebration. I was not chairman of the committee. I was on it, but I volunteered to write a history of the church. We had this little bitty book. I said, “We have to get a little better than that.” I wasn’t expecting to do too much. Got in there and found all the records, ending up writing a book. I think about 270 pages.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>It was a wonderful experience, because we have a lot of documents, and minutes, and things of all church business meetings, and oh, just a slew of stuff. And church bulletins, you know, have information in them. So it was really interesting experience. Also, none of the memorabilia of the church had ever been collected. It was scattered all over the church and some people knew where things were, so I went scouring around trying to find all that, and I got all that collected, got a crew together to work on, to organizing it, and we had a huge display of all our memorabilia. I mean, there was a bunch of stuff, all in the fellowship hall for the 100<sup>th</sup> anniversary. And then I had the book published, you know.</p>
<p>Since then, I’ve continued to collect things from different people. It’s amazing what things pop up still about the history. Collecting it—and have a special room in the memorial education building. That’s the first one that’s on Park Avenue, to collect all that stuff. Then when we built the new building in ’95. They put a special heritage room in there. It was supposed to be larger than what it is, but when the costs came in for building the church, things got squeezed. And that did too. But I have a room there, and cases around the room, which were given to us by one of the local jewelry stores who[sic] was moving or going out of business or something. So I’ve got that. So people can go in there and see the displays. It gets changed occasionally. And I have an excellent storage room. It didn’t get squeezed! It’s still there, so I’ve got a good storage room for all kind of stuff in there. So I continue to collect things, and I’ve chaired the anniversary committees every year since. Now, we had 125<sup>th</sup> [anniversary] a year ago, in February. I told them then, that was my last one. I’ll be almost 80 years old. I think it’s time for somebody else. But it’s been fun, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>What kinds of memorabilia?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Oh, goodness. One thing we have—the old pulpit—the original pulpits from the first church, and a couple of chairs. They’ve gotten moved into my heritage storeroom there. But it’s okay, they’ll get room for them. We bring them out. Oh, all kind of paper things. And lots of and lots of pictures. I still take pictures of important events. And, oh, I can’t think of what all there is. We’ve got a lot of important documents, the incorporation papers. Goodness, I’m trying to think of what we do have. Just a lot of interesting things. We’re always finding new things. It’s good.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>It sounds like the Baptist church was the big church force in the community.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>It was the largest, yes. It was.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>But as I said, all the downtown churches were very active, just not as large. But there—oh, we sponsored five missions which are now churches.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes. Central Baptist [Church], Pinecrest Baptist [Church], Westview [Baptist Church]—it’s changed its name two or three times. Lake Mary—it’s something else now. I don’t think it’s even a Baptist church. Well, that’s another story. Oh, and Victory Baptist [Church]. We formed it as Elder Springs Baptist [Church], but it later withdrew from the Southern Baptists and became independent. But we did organize it. There are three that are still Southern Baptist.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>How did you organize the missions and get these churches started?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>We’d have a commissions committee go into the neighborhoods and start Sunday schools and, you know—at night. I wasn’t, you know, involved in any of it. Gradually, as attendance grew, they’d want to become a church, and so we’d organize it. It took several years. Pinecrest didn’t take very long, because a whole Sunday school class of ours went out there and started it—a men’s class. So that didn’t take very long, just a few months. Bu the others, some of them took several years.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Is there a story behind the Lake Mary? That sounded a little complicated.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Well, we took them back as a mission. They had been a church and they wanted to go back into mission status. We had not started them originally, but they wanted to come back in mission status and asked us to be their sponsor. So several of our members went out there and helped them for several years, and then they became a church. I knew it was in ’83, because that was the last thing I put in my history book. They became a church. Elder Springs and Pinecrest were both organized in ’57. And Central Baptist, which was originally Southside Baptist [Church], was organized in 1938. And Westview [Baptist Church], I think, was somewhere about the early ‘60s. It was originally Oak Lawn [Baptist Church], because it started—I think the first meetings they had was in the funeral home out there, you know the one out there by Rinehart [Road]?</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Mmmhm. Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yeah. Because one of our church members was—that was his funeral home.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Uh, it sounds from your book like you exhaustively researched everything.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes. People keep asking, “Are you going to add to the book?” “No way.” It’s a lot of work.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Yeah, I bet. Um, did you, uh, let’s see. Were there any big personalities in the church? Or people that you wrote about in your book? Stories that you could tell me about people or families in the church?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>We had a pastor there, Dr. Debbie[?] P. Brooks, who was there for 33 years. He was very influential. Wonderful person. He came, I think, in ’29 and retired in ’62. The—oh, Reverend [George] Hyman, of course. That was way before my time, but he’s the one that was pastor when they built the brick church. And from what I heard, he had a vision as to how it should be built. And the first—the front part was to be the Sunday school, and that was to be to educate the people, and so forth, and bring them close to God. Then that would lead them into the sanctuary, which was the second part. Something like that. And it was built. He was there for the first part, and then he had to go off to war—World War I—as a chaplain. He came back and they built the second part. And then he thought that the church would be more in the community with programs and so on for the community, and he called it the “Baptist Temple.” They didn’t ever change the name. Incorporation papers for the First Baptist Church, on the front of the church it says, ‘Old Baptist Temple,’ and some of our pictures have that on there. And he was having various speakers and things come in, in addition to the regular church. Soon as they left, they had a meeting, and everything came down. There was more to it than that, you can see it in the book, because it was mainly his deal.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. Yeah. Those were about all the general questions that I have. Is there anything that you’d like to talk about that we haven’t yet? Any, you know, special memories that you have that you’d like to share or keep in audio?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I could tell you about a club we had.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. Cool.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>You know, I wrote for <em>The Sanford Herald</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski </strong>Oh, I didn’t know that.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Yes. Well, in high school I wrote The Celery Crate. That was our youth group, the teen group. We met second floor of old City Hall. We had pool tables, ping pong, all kind of board games, and card games, and things like that. The space had originally been an auditorium, so there was a stage up there. Occasionally, we’d have various programs. The Celery Crate committee would plan the parties. We’d have about three or four parties a year—square dances and things like that—but we were open every Saturday night during school, just to go up and have fun. The PTA [Parent-Teacher Association] sponsored it. My mother was one of the sponsors. My mother and dad were always chaperones. So that was a lot of fun. But then I wrote that column. That was a freebie. Then there was <em>The Herald</em> also had a Seminole High column. A student would write that. And so I said, “Well, since I’m writing this…” I applied for that, and did that for my senior year. Got paid ten cents an inch.</p>
<p>When I was in college, for one year, I wrote—what was it called? Oh goodness, can’t believe what it was called right now. But anyway, I wrote it one year at Stetson about Seminole High students off at college. I talked to a lot of parents, because I came home quite a bit. In 1994, I started writing “The Way We Were” column. I wrote that until July of [20]07, when the owner of the paper fired me—fired my column. And also, he also took away the Sanford column—you know, social news. And then when we got the new publisher, and I was writing extra things, like the class reunions, high school class reunions, Historical Society [of Central Florida] news, anniversaries. I wrote a couple of weddings. But the new publisher said he’s not printing any of that and he didn’t need me anymore. And that was just about a year and a half ago.</p>
<p>Let’s go back to the club.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher <br /></strong>We were in fifth grade. And this girl, Joanie Saunders—moved here from I think Bradenton—and was in Miss McNab’s room where us girls were who had grown up in Sanford. There was a magazine at the time, called <em>Polly Pigtails</em>, and they encouraged people to form Polly Pigtail clubs. So Joanie came in, and I guess probably because she was new, and wanted new friends—I don’t know—she got us together and we formed a Polly Pigtail club. All the girls that were in there were in Ms. McNab’s room. All of us. Several of us had grown up together and been good friends. Then, through the years—sixth grade we added some people, went to junior high, we added some more, some people dropped out for various reasons, and we’d add some more. And we’d meet every other Tuesday afternoons at member’s homes. We had parties. We had dues of ten cents a week. We made candy sales. We’d make about eight or ten dollars at a time.</p>
<p>When we got in the eighth grade, we decided we wanted to go to the beach for a week. So we had to have more candy sales! And we did. We started—we rented this house over in New Smyrna [Beach], Sandy Shack, and went over for a week in August. Our parents were chaperones. We went to the beach every summer for a week through our senior year.</p>
<p>Our senior year, after we graduated, we went to Daytona [Beach] and had this house right smack dab on the beach. It had been a restaurant, and it had three bathrooms, which was great, because the other one only had one. And we’d had this all the way through school, ‘til we graduated high school. So we were all very close. We started out with friends that were friends anyway, and we added some of the others. Two of the girls got married, and of course, we couldn’t let them—our mothers wouldn’t let them stay in the club. So it was a lot of really, really, really good. A lot of us still keep in contact. We’ve lost a couple to deaths and most of us are still around. Still good friends.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>That’s wonderful.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>It really was.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>It sounds like the community was really close.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I just wrote it again, or re-wrote it, for the Seminole High magazine that comes out every year. Well, they were having some articles in there about the beach, because New Smyrna—we always went to New Smyrna all the time, stayed over there on weekends and daytrips. A lot of people were writing memories about New Smyrna, about the beach, so I asked if I could write about our beach parties over there, so I did. Because we had some experiences. It was fun.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Do you want to tell us what kind of experiences happened over there? What did you guys do? You went to the beach? Was there much around New Smyrna to go and do too?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /> </strong>No. Just the beach. Well, the Sandy Shack was—oh, right in the—it was in the zone where the lifeguards weren’t. But our chaperones would make us go up further on the beach where we could go. Well, of course, we’d go camp right by the lifeguard tower. Think we were hot stuff. The first year we were there, we were just out of the eighth grade, we went to the lifeguard dance. Thirteen-fourteen-year-old girls sat over in a corner. And of course, the lifeguards were much older than we were. They were high school and college kids, mostly college, I think. And I remember sitting there—canasta was a big deal back then. I remember Tricia saying, “We should have brought our canasta cards.” Because everyone’s out there dancing, and here we were. Then the head of the lifeguards, Joe Canard, came up and asked Jeanette to dance. She didn’t know how to dance! She was out there doing the best she could, so she was our heroine of the night.</p>
<p>We did have a couple of Sanford boys that were there that came and rescued us, and once we had, a couple years later we met some of the New Smyrna boys. They were more our age. And we had a bonfire on the beach with hotdogs—I guess, I don’t remember—and invited the boys that we knew. And some of the fellows that usually stayed at the beach with their families. They were over there. We asked them to come. There are all these people showed up at our bonfire. All these cars, all these people. Our chaperones got kind of upset. Finally, after a while, they came and shooed the others away, because we got a little scared too.</p>
<p>Yeah. We met the local fellas from over there, and we dated some of them. When there were football games, or any kind of sport, we always played New Smyrna and whatever. So we’d always go to the games, and they’d come over, and we’d see the New Smyrna boys. That was a big deal. And so forth. That was fun. One time, a couple boys from Sanford came over, and said, “Let’s go to the drugstore.” And so the whole bunch of us—I think there were six or eight of us—the whole bunch of us jumped in the backseat and went down to the drugstore. And after that, one of the fellas said, “Where do you want to go?” “Let’s go to Daytona.” We took off to Daytona and went to the boardwalk. Of course, didn’t tell our chaperones, we just went. Didn’t get home until, oh, late. So they were furious. We had to wash the dishes, I think, for the rest of the week or something like that.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>But it was worth it?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Oh, yeah. It was fun. We had fun.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Well, those are all of my questions. Is there anything else you’d like to mention?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>You, Sanford history, teaching? Anything.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>I don’t know, but we could talk about my parents.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Okay. Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>They met at Piedmont College, in [Demorest,] Georgia. My mother went up—she was a Congregationalist, and that was a Congregational school. And my dad was from Tennessee and his sisters—one of his sisters was teaching there. He was the youngest—next-to-youngest—of a family of ten. So he and his brother decided to go down to Piedmont College. And they met there. And Mother just stayed for two years. You could teach after two years then.</p>
<p>Then Dad graduated in [19]25. He sang in a quartet—a male quartet—that traveled with, uh, advertising the college all up into the eastern states. That was something for him—all of them—especially for my dad and his brother, because they had never been anywhere. I’ve got his diaries at home telling about their experiences, staying at home, staying in hotels, and YMCAs [Young Men’s Christian Association], and all this. And singing, mostly in churches. And all like that. And they traveled for one year after he graduated. He graduated ’25. They traveled for one year. And they had been traveling in the summers or before that. And so, in the fall of ’26, he came to Sanford and got a job at Chase & Company. Stayed there for 40 years, became head of the Building Material Department. And he and Mother got married on July 6, 1927.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Did you have any brothers and sisters?</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>No. I was an only child. They waited nine years before I was born.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Oh, wow. Okay. Those are my questions. Thank you!</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Dombrowski<br /></strong>Thank you for your time.</p>
<p><strong>Stinecipher<br /></strong>Oh, you’re welcome.</p>

Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records contributed by the New Smyrna Beach-Edgewater campus of Daytona State College. Items in the collection focus on the history of New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
In 1758, the first European settlers arrived in present-day New Smyrna Beach and Dr. Andrew Turnbull established the colony of New Smyrna. Most of the colony's settlers were from Greece, Italy, and Minorca, Spain. Turnbull planned for the town to produce hemp, sugarcane, indigo, and rum, but the colony quickly collapsed due to insect-born diseases and raids by nearby Native American tribes. Most of the survivors resettled in St. Augustine.
In 1887, New Smyrna was incorporated. In 1892, Henry Morrison Flagler expanded his Florida East Coast Railway to the area, sparking growth in the city. During the Prohibition of the 1920s, New Smyrna served as a site for moonshine stills and hideouts for rum-runners. In 1947, the city was renamed New Smyrna Beach when it annexed Coronado Beach.

New Smyrna Beach, Florida
Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records contributed by the New Smyrna Beach-Edgewater campus of Daytona State College. Items in the collection focus on the history of New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
In 1758, the first European settlers arrived in present-day New Smyrna Beach and Dr. Andrew Turnbull established the colony of New Smyrna. Most of the colony's settlers were from Greece, Italy, and Minorca, Spain. Turnbull planned for the town to produce hemp, sugarcane, indigo, and rum, but the colony quickly collapsed due to insect-born diseases and raids by nearby Native American tribes. Most of the survivors resettled in St. Augustine.
In 1887, New Smyrna was incorporated. In 1892, Henry Morrison Flagler expanded his Florida East Coast Railway to the area, sparking growth in the city. During the Prohibition of the 1920s, New Smyrna served as a site for moonshine stills and hideouts for rum-runners. In 1947, the city was renamed New Smyrna Beach when it annexed Coronado Beach.

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>

Transcript
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>This is Drew Fedorka. Uh, we are at the [UCF] Public History Center in Sanford, Florida. It is Saturday, November 16<sup>th</sup>, 2013. Do you just want to introduce yourself for the camera?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>I’m Nancy Ford, and, um—actually, I’m Nancy Harris Ford. My maiden name is Harris. I grew up here in Sanford and left. Was gone about 36 years and came back.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Okay, and when did you leave Sanford?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>I left Sanford in 1973, about a year after I graduated from Seminole High School.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Okay, and what brought you back to Sanford?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Uh, a combination of things. One is home. And, in 2008, when the economy did what it did, I found myself unemployed, and I needed to make some choices. So I chose to come home, where I had a support system.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Okay, um, now did you have any interest in Sanford’s history before getting involved with Celery Soup and Creative Sanford[, Inc.]?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Not really, because I am Sanford’s history. [<em>laughs</em>] You know, a lot of the things they do in Creative Sanford[, Inc.] in the shows that they write, I remember. So I’m not just learning them. I am learning new facts about these things, But a lot of these stories, they’re my stories—some of them. And I remember these things.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Right so…</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>It’s interesting that what you call “history,” I call “my life.”</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Right. Of course. Yeah. Okay. So what got you interested in Creative Sanford?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well, when I came back, my sister—my sisters knew that I was interested in acting and performing, because I had done it when I was in Memphis[, Tennessee]. And she saw an advertisement for the show—for <em>Touch and Go</em>—and asked me if I would like to go. And so we went to see it, and I thought it was so interesting, so I said, “Well I think I’ll audition the next time around.” So the next time around, I auditioned and I really enjoyed it, so I’ve auditioned every time since.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Okay, great. Um, so you play a number of different characters in <em>Remade - Not Bought</em>. Do you want to go through some of the different characters?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] It was interesting. I played, um, Tasha in the continuity scene—is who’s the mother of one of the young ladies. And that role—the continuity scenes were designed to link the stories together so that they made sense. And, um, I also played Tasha’s mother in one of the scenes, remembering when the, uh, I guess the Woolworth’s counter, one of those restaurants which I actually remember when we used to go to the back window to get the food at the restaurants. We couldn’t go in and sit down. I remember that. So I played that character. And then I played Dr. Starke’s in another scene. And, uh, the Tasha character just kind of weaves through most of the show.</p>
<p><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>So it’s interesting that you said a lot of these things have been touched on your own personal life that you experienced. What role do you think community theater plays and community understanding on history in remembering history?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well, I think that it’s really important, because, if we don’t remember our past, especially the things that aren’t very pleasant, then we’re doomed to repeat it. Now, I have a son who’s 20, and we would get tired of me telling him sometimes that, when he wanted these shoes and these clothes that cost so much money, and I would tell him, “Well, you know, when I was growing up, my mama bought our clothes and hoped they’re fit. And most of the time, bought them too large, because we couldn’t try them on and she couldn’t take them back. Because we were colored.”</p>
<p class="Default">So, you know, especially for European Americans, we know a lot of your history, because we were exposed to it on commercials and television and stuff like that. But our history was kind of downplayed. And even among ourselves, we don’t realize sometimes the richness. When I say “ourselves” —the African-American community. Sometimes we don’t understand or really, fully realize the richness of our history. And the importance that certain things play. It was just kinda the way we lived.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Right, and—so some of these scenes are dealing with some of the, um, more troubling or challenging aspects of Sanford’s history. Um, in what ways, um—let me think how to phrase it. And, does it—does it change the memory of these experiences at all in some of these scenes?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>It—it doesn’t change the memory. It changes the meaning. Uh, for example, the butterfly scene. I remember school integration. So when I’m going through that, I remember. And people say that I play that scene and I seem so—it seems so real, because I really was angry about school integration. [<em>clears throat</em>] Although, for me, it was the opposite. It was me going to the “white” school, so to speak, not the other way around, as it was in the butterfly scene. But I didn’t want to be there. I had no choice. I got thrown into an environment that I feel changed my life in a way that was not for the best.</p>
<p class="Default">When I was at Crooms [High School], I was a—an honors student. I was in the National Honors Society. I was on track to be Val of Sal. And when I went to Seminole [High School], I did not get the same attention that I got at Crooms. Because the curriculum was so different, and the books were so different, because we got hand me down books at Crooms. Things were so different that I was not academically prepared. And even though I did well, I was in and out of the Honors Society at Seminole. And I didn’t go to college. And I found out later about the, uh, work-studies. And I wasn’t counseled, so I didn’t know. I didn’t know what was available to me, and I didn’t graduate college until I was 50. And I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that I got shoved into an environment where I wasn’t welcomed. I didn’t’ feel welcomed.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>It seemed that watching <em>Remade - Not Bought</em>, there’s a very specific choice of scenes. The types of topics that we’re touched on. I think of this really cool scene, I think of the butterfly scene, which is obviously one of the main highlights of the show. Um, the one of the restaurant that you just explained. What was the decision-making process, which scenes to highlight?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well, I wasn’t really involved in that, so—I wasn’t involved in choosing which scenes went into the play. You have to talk to the playwrights about that.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Right. Okay. Uh, do you feel like there’s any—obviously, I mean, there’s—some of these scenes are kind of arbitrary in the way that—in the topics that they—in the—obviously the big comment that they’re trying to reconcile is Sanford’s history of racial tensions. And they’ve picked little snapshots to touch on. Do you think there’s any that would have been more effective to include?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well, I don’t know about effective, because I think they scenes they included were very effective. Um, there’s so many from which to choose. And I think that the ones that they chose show different aspects of the racial tension, like the pool scene.</p>
<p class="Default">I don’t know how to swim. I never learned. Uh, there were two pools in Sanford. The white pool, we weren’t allowed to go to. The black pool was always so crowded when it was open that you couldn’t swim in there if you tried.</p>
<p class="Default">And the beach? Well, there were no lifeguards at the beach we were allowed to go. We’d go to New Smyrna Beach. And our parents were afraid to put us in the water because they both, you know, fearful for our safety. And every summer, kids drowned. Every summer. So our parents were very fearful of that.</p>
<p class="Default">So those kinds of things, you know, were really meaningful. There’s, um, the only thing—and I have spoken to them about this—it seems that in every one of these plays, I play the angry black woman [<em>laughs</em>]. Um, but we had some good times in the African-American community as well. And sometimes I’d like to see that highlighted. You know, like we had pic—church picnics, and things like that. And because they highlight some things that have nothing to do with racial tension with the white characters.</p>
<p class="Default">But almost all the scenes that involve African Americans have some type of racial overtone. Even the Starke scene. Even though it wasn’t, you know, an uncomfortable thing, but even that had racial overtones and, you know, it’s—there were other things that we did [<em>laughs</em>], you know, that had nothing to do with race—that had nothing to do with white people either. But, you know, a lot of the scenes they have with whites have nothing to do with black people.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Right. What—do you see what Creative Sanford does—what Celery Soup does especially—with plays like <em>Remade - Not Bought</em>—do you see what they’re doing as history or is it something different?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>It’s both. It’s history with creative license, because it’s entertainment. And I think it’s a good way to get a conversation going. Because when people go and they see these shows, then invariably, even participating, I learned things, and I go out and do research. Like, Dr. Starke was my doctor. Dr. Starke brought me into the world, you know, when I was born. He was the doctor who brought me here. He was my doctor growing up. But there were things that I didn’t know about him, because, you know, why would I want to go study about Dr. Starke? But now in retrospect, I went out on the Internet and did research, because I do want to know. You know, so there are—and almost everybody that I speak with, after they’ve seen the show, they say “I didn’t know this” or “I didn’t know that.” So yeah, it’s a good way to get a conversation started.</p>
<p><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>And it’s interesting that you mention Dr. Starke, because he is featured predominantly throughout the play. Um, in what ways do you think he was a good choice to highlight as a central example of some of the message we get across?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well, one thing is that he was biracial, you know? And uh, and that’s one way—one of the reasons that he was able to do some of the things that he did, because he was fair. His skin was fair, his hair was wavy. But he was a very quiet man—a soft-spoken man. But, like they say in the play, he was a good man. And I remember going to him, up to my teenage years, you know—until I left here, he was my doctor—<em>[laughs</em>] I don’t ever remember paying him. I imagine my mother paid him. I don’t know whether she paid him or not. But it never occurred to me that he wasn’t getting paid. That’s not something that kids think about.</p>
<p class="Default">You know, and I know that I went to him once for something and he said, “Well tell Bernice such and such and such.” that was my mom’s name. So he knew his patients. It’s not like now. You go to the doctor and they review your chart to remember who you are. You know, they make notes in their charts so that they can have conversation with you. But if I walked into his office, he knew me. He knew my name. He knew my mother’s name. He knew my grandparents. It was very different.</p>
<p class="Default">And I didn’t realize—well, I didn’t think about the fact that he saw white people too. You know, I don’t ever remember seeing white people in his office. I imagine they were there, but you know, that wasn’t something that I thought about, because if he saw white people it was, because they couldn’t afford to pay the white doctor. And that was not uncommon in the black community, because we didn’t carry around a lot of the baggage it seems that a lot of the white people did.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>What are some of the memories you have of Dr. Starke of your childhood?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well, I remember one time that, uh—I didn’t like shots. I was actually very afraid of shots and I needed to get a shot. And there was a booster shot in the buttocks, and Dr. Starke had me stand at the window and look out the window, and he was talking to me. I don’t remember what he was talking to me about. I also don’t remember getting the shot. Just—it was just so much like the scene in the play. And when I saw that, I was like, “You know, he really was like that.” That was not an exaggeration.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>What role do you think the play has in linking the memory of Sanford and Sanford in the 20<sup>th</sup> century to people like Dr. Starke?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well, I think especially for a lot of the kids, it helps—helps you to know your history. History is important. Even though I didn’t realize it when I was young, because I did not like history in school. Didn’t like it at all. And now, I’m more interested in it, because I can see how—what they call progress. You know, the continuity of events and how it progressed from here to here and the next step. You know, um, Sanford was known as “The Celery City.” Well, I could remember what that smells like. Interestingly enough, because my gather ran a celery crew. So I used to play on the bus—on his bus. and it is a very distinct smell. And I remember what it smells like. And I also remember what it smelled like when those celery fills were rotting, cause, you know, Celery Avenue is named Celery Avenue for a reason. There weren’t houses down there when I was growing up. Those were celery fields. And so people don’t know why that street is named Celery Avenue. And there’s Celery Key and there’s Celery something else, but those are housing developments now. But they used to be celery fields.<strong><br /></strong></p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>And to bring you back to Dr. Starke. Dr. Starke’s office was near Celery Avenue.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well, it’s on the corner of 11<sup>th</sup> Street and Sanford Avenue. So Celery Avenue is what 13<sup>th</sup> Street kinda turns into after it makes that little cattycorner. So yeah, it’s pretty close. And we used to walk. You used to walk everywhere. Nowadays, we hardly think about walking these days.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Would you say Dr. Starke was well-known in the community?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] I’d say that’s an understatement.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Okay. And…</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>He was the black doctor. So all the black folks went to him. You know, because we didn’t—the white doctors wouldn’t see us. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a good doctor. He was probably one the best doctors in town, but we didn’t realize that, because he was our doctor. He was the only doctor we knew.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>And was he known—well-known at the time, at least in Sanford, for his role in sort of crossing—crossing that color barrier by obviously, uh, white patients coming to see him? Was that well-known in the community?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well [<em>coughs</em>], they may—[<em>coughs</em>] excuse me. It may have been by adults, but I was a child, so that wasn’t something that I thought about, you know.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Right.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>So, you know, he—I know that he was a prominent figure. Everybody knew him. And Dr. Ringland<a title="">[1]</a> too. He wasn’t in the play, but Dr. Ringland was the dentist—the dentist—the black dentist. And they shared an office. They shared an office space. Because when you went to the doctor and you went to the dentist, you went to the same building.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Okay to—just a couple of last questions to bring it back to <em>Remade - Not Bought</em>. You said that one of the main role of, um, productions like that is just to get a conversation started. What types of messages do you hope that got across from a production like <em>Remade - Not Bought</em>?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well, I would—I would hope that some healing happens. Because there’s a lot of bitterness still, um, in the community among both black and whites. There’s anger. There, uh—we’ve come a long way, but we still have a ways to go. A lot of blacks are bitter and angry, because we feel—when I say “we,” I mean some blacks and whites. I don’t mean all of any group. But many of us, uh, as a people feel that we’ve struggled.</p>
<p class="Default">And I know personally in my own life—because my name is Nancy, I got into doors that I wouldn’t have gotten into if my name had been something else. But when I walked through the door, say for an interview, I could see the countenance of the interviewer’s face change, because I was not what they expected. My—my maiden name is Harris. My name is Nancy Harris. I’m well-spoken. I’m articulate. When you speak with me on the phone, you don’t necessarily know that I’m an African American, but when I walk through the door, it’s obvious. And that hurts. And every time that happens, it hurts. So there’s[sic] scars there. There’s[sic] deep scars and they need heeling.</p>
<p class="Default">[<em>coughs</em>] By the same token [<em>coughs</em>]—excuse me—I went through affirmative action, where a lot of white people felt left out. And I had—I had work as a result of affirmative action—a pretty good job. I was a machinist. And, in that shop—and I was in Rochester, New York, where they thought things were better—and the white guys, they would yell things at me across the shop. And tell me that I was taking the food out of some guy’s family’s mouth, because I shouldn’t be there, because I’m black and female.</p>
<p class="Default">So we have these kinds of conversations. It gives the opportunity to know that we’re all human. All the parts, the same ways. The human way. And that we all have feelings, and they should be honored. And that we all have rich culture and tradition. And I think it’s important for us to learn about each other’s culture more and more, so that we can appreciate our differences and move forward. Because, in order to hold a person down, you have to stay down there with them. And it’s important for us all to rise.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Um, do you think Celery Soup and <em>Remade - Not Bought</em>, um— it[sic] puts a very positive spin on a lot of these memories and do—do you think there’s any—do you think it’s does it effectively with this healing process?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Um, yes. I think it does. I think anytime we address these things head-on, that it’s effective. It may not always feel good, but it’s like a shot. Doesn’t feel good when you get it, but what it does is work. The benefit feels good.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Okay. Uh, thank you very much for your help. If you—do you have anything you want to say about Celery Soup or the just importance of it, he importance of community theater, the importance of approaching community’s history in this manner?</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Well, I’d just like to say that I’m very happy that this project exists—that Creative Sanford exists. And that Creative Sanford sees the benefit of doing this work. And I hope that people will support it. You know, theatre is not well-supported in general, and in particular, community theatre. We have a lot of good, um—good actors and actresses in community theatre.</p>
<p class="Default">One of the things that I love about Celery Soup is that everyone who auditions gets cast. And even though I had experience coming into it, it’s a wonderful opportunity for people who have never been on a stage before to get out there and see if they like it and have an opportunity to—to go someplace, because this is the way that—there are a lot of people that we see on television and on the big screen, who got their start in community theater. It’s important and I do think it should be valued, and people should support it.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka<br /></strong>Well, thank you very much…</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Ford<br /></strong>Thank you.</p>
<p class="Default"><strong>Fedorka <br /></strong>For all your thoughts.</p>

Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records contributed by the New Smyrna Beach-Edgewater campus of Daytona State College. Items in the collection focus on the history of New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
In 1758, the first European settlers arrived in present-day New Smyrna Beach and Dr. Andrew Turnbull established the colony of New Smyrna. Most of the colony's settlers were from Greece, Italy, and Minorca, Spain. Turnbull planned for the town to produce hemp, sugarcane, indigo, and rum, but the colony quickly collapsed due to insect-born diseases and raids by nearby Native American tribes. Most of the survivors resettled in St. Augustine.
In 1887, New Smyrna was incorporated. In 1892, Henry Morrison Flagler expanded his Florida East Coast Railway to the area, sparking growth in the city. During the Prohibition of the 1920s, New Smyrna served as a site for moonshine stills and hideouts for rum-runners. In 1947, the city was renamed New Smyrna Beach when it annexed Coronado Beach.

Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records contributed by the New Smyrna Beach-Edgewater campus of Daytona State College. Items in the collection focus on the history of New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
In 1758, the first European settlers arrived in present-day New Smyrna Beach and Dr. Andrew Turnbull established the colony of New Smyrna. Most of the colony's settlers were from Greece, Italy, and Minorca, Spain. Turnbull planned for the town to produce hemp, sugarcane, indigo, and rum, but the colony quickly collapsed due to insect-born diseases and raids by nearby Native American tribes. Most of the survivors resettled in St. Augustine.
In 1887, New Smyrna was incorporated. In 1892, Henry Morrison Flagler expanded his Florida East Coast Railway to the area, sparking growth in the city. During the Prohibition of the 1920s, New Smyrna served as a site for moonshine stills and hideouts for rum-runners. In 1947, the city was renamed New Smyrna Beach when it annexed Coronado Beach.
