Veterans--Florida
Description
A letter from Kenneth E. Metcalf to Edna P. Hancock dated May 3, 1945. In the letter, Metcalf, who was the chaplain of the 179th Infantry Regiment, expresses sympathy for the death of Hancock's husband, Sergeant John B. Hancock (1913-1944), who Killed in Action (KIA) while serving in the U.S. Army during World War II. Sgt. Hancock was born in Thomasville, Georgia, in 1913, but later migrated to Auburndale, Florida. Hancock managed a Great Atlantic Pacific Tea Company store in Haines City until he enlisted in the 45th Infantry Division's 179th Infantry Regiment. Sgt. Hancock served initially in Africa in 1943, until the 45th Infantry Division's participation in the Allied invasion of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky. The division then went on to participate in the Allied invasion of Italy, where Sgt. Hancock was injured. He was returned to duty in February of 1944 in southern France. On November 1, 1944, Sgt. Hancock went Missing in Action (MIA) after serving in the Allied invasion of Southern France, codenamed Operation Dragoon. He was eventually buried at Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial in Dinozé, France.

Description
The shoulder sleeve insignia for the U.S. Army's 45th Infantry Division. The original insignia, photographed on the right, was approved in August of 1924 and featured a swastika, which was a symbol commonly used by Native Americans from the Mississippian culture. With the rise of Germany's Nazi Party, which also used a swastika, the 45th Division retired its original insignia and replaced it in 1939 with another Native American symbol called the Thunderbird, photographed on the left and on the bottom.<br /><br />A notable member of the 45th Infantry Division during World War II was Private Rufus H. Lennon Jr. Lennon (1921-1944), a soldier from Bradenton, Florida. Lennon was born in 1921 to Rufus H. Lennon, Sr. and Bertha Lennon. On November 21, 1940, he enlisted into the U.S. Army at the age of 19. Pvt. Lennon served in the 180th Infantry Regiment of the 45th Infantry Division. Pvt. Lennon died in battle on September 21, 1944 in Lorraine, France, and was awarded a Purple Heart, Combat Infantryman Badge, American Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal.

Transcript
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>Today is Thursday, January 28<sup>th</sup>, 2016. My name’s Geoffrey Cravero and I’m speaking with Warren McFarland at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. Thanks for speaking with us today, Mr. McFarland. Let’s, uh, begin with some of your biography. Could you, uh, tell us a little bit about where you’re originally from and your upbringing?</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Well, I was—I was born in Ohio, but we moved to Orlando when I was a year and a half old, so I count myself as a Floridian, and my father worked for the railroad here in Or—Orlando, and eventually went to Avon Park and was Railroad Agent there for many years, and that’s where I grew up, went to high school and—and, uh, where I went—learned from him—I learned the telegraph, I learned railroad work, and eventually went to work for the railroad after I graduated from high school in 1941. Um, had—had planned to go to college, but 1941 was not a good year to college, uh [<em>coughs</em>] and, uh, I wound up working on another railroad division, rather than the one that went through Avon Park, w—working out of Ocala, and I worked there, uh, for like 25 years, and then I was offered a position with the Interstate Commerce Commission, and I went, um—went with them, and uh, we—we lived in different places: uh, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C, and I eventually retired as Director of the Office of Compliance for the Interstate Commerce Commission out of Washington, and I moved—we moved back to Florida after I retired, and been living here ever since.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>That’s neat. Um, so—what, uh—could you tell us a little bit more about your, uh, your parents? And did you have any siblings, or...</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Yes. [<em>clears throat</em>] Uh, well, I had, uh, two brothers and three sisters. Uh, the three—the three sisters and one of the brothers were half—half-brothers and sisters, but I didn’t know the difference. Um, they were—they were all older than I, and, uh, so—uh, they were my brothers and sisters, and still are. Al—although they’re not living anymore. I’m the only one of the six that’s still alive, but, uh, my parents were both from Southeastern Ohio, and my father worked for the railroad there, uh, for like 18 years, I think it was, and then he decided to come to Florida and get rich in the Florida Boom in the 1920s. Uh, that didn’t work, so he went back to the railroad and worked for the railroad until he retired [<em>clears throat</em>], and, um, my mother, uh, she was just a farm girl, but she—she worked for a doctor as a receptionist, and she later worked, um, at—in the express office with my father, and then, she—when he retired, she retired, and so, uh, they lived—live—they lived in Avon Park until—until she could no longer take care of herself, and my—my brothers and sisters, um, they—they all—lived all over the place. One in—one in Virginia, one in, uh, Ohio, and—and Chi—and Chicago, and one in Dallas, and my—my brother lived in Avon Park his entire life. He said, “There’s no reason for—for anybody to live anywhere but Avon Park.”</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /> </strong>[<em>laughs</em>] So that’s where he stayed.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>Were any of them, uh—did they follow in the family business of the railroad?</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>No, none of them. I’m the only one out of—out of, uh—out of six, I’m the only one that went into the railroad business, um, and my—my youngest sister’s husband did go into the railroad business, and his son also went into the railroad business, and I had an uncle that was a railroad man. So it—railroading has—has always been pretty much a—a family, uh, affair in many—in many families. You know, one—one person gets started and then—then others go in, but—but none of my brothers and sisters, uh, were interested.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>Well, you mentioned, uh—that you—your father, uh, was a station agent and telegrapher in Avon Park. Um, could you tell us a little bit about growing up in the depot? What sort of, uh—what sort of skills and knowledge did you kind of acquire as a young man?</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Well, [<em>clears throat</em>] uh, I—I was always—I was not a, uh— crazy about trains, but I was interested in trains and—and—and the railroading, and I can remember when I could barely, uh, reach—stand up and—and reach the tabletop like this, and my dad had me doing things that I could do in the—like stamping—taking the rubber stamp and stamping it on a piece of paper on—on what’s called a waybill, which is a—a ship—a shipment, uh, document that you fill out when you have a shipment to make, and, uh, I would st—stamp the—the Avon Park’s stamp on there that showed this, that, where it started from, but, that had to have been about about—5-6 years old when I did that, and I—off and on, all—all during my school years, I just hung around there, and I—I didn’t—I wasn’t consciously preparing for a career in railroading. A matter of fact: my older brothers and sisters all went to college and—and—and it was planned for me to go also, but, as I said earlier, I graduated in 1941, and—and they were already drafting people out of—out of my class, and, um, so I—I knew it was a matter of time. So I didn’t think there was much point in going to college at that time.</p>
<p>So I didn’t go until much later, but, uh, it—it—when—when I was in my senior year in high school, uh, that’s when you could see what was happening: the world was in turmoil, and, um—and, as I said, members of my class had—had been called up, and—so I began to learn telegraphy, and my father taught me and I practiced, and then after I graduated from—from, uh, school, he, um, told the—the railroad that I was, uh, sufficiently knowledgeable to go to work, and, uh—I—I didn’t—As I said, I didn’t—wasn’t consciously, um, aware that I was absorbing everything that I did absorb during those years, uh, hanging around the depot, but I learned an awful lot that I didn’t know I’d learned, until I went out on my own and was working.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>What, uh—did you notice, uh, any, uh, major differences between the—the time of your father and yours when it c—comes to the, you know—the telegraphing and the—the depots?</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Oh, yeah. Well…</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>[<em>clears throat</em>].</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>When—when my father started, telegraphing was just about—I mean, that was like the major—major, uh, means of internal communication on the rail—on nearly every railroad, and—and when I started, it still was, but it—it began to fade away the—the longer I stayed, and I—and I—I stayed until 1965, and by that time, uh, they still required, uh, uh, people to know how to telegraph to go to work, but—but—at least—as—as—as, uh, operators and agents, but they did not, uh—did not use—use it, because they—everybody had telephones and—and things of that nature. So it was not as—as use—used as much then, and—and probably—well, I left the rail—railroad for the ICC<a title="">[1]</a> in 1965, and by the early 70s, there was[sic] hardly any railroads anywhere using t—the telegraph. It was all teletype and—and telephones and things of that nature. So that—it was[sic] tremendous difference there, and now, of course, it’s gone even beyond that. It’s all computerized—email and everything else like that. Even train dispatching, which I did for—for 18 years, um—that’s become computer-assisted train dispatching and—and the computer does it. When—when—when I was working, it was—it was all in your head. You had to do it all in your head, but, now the computer—they have what they call “computer-assisted dispatching.”</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>So was, uh—I guess the depot was your very first job you had, or…</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Well, actually, no [<em>laughs</em>]. The very first paying job I—I worked as a clerk in the A&P<a title="">[2]</a> grocery store on Saturdays, uh, which—that—in—in a small town like Avon Park, that was about the only job that—kind of job that was available to a—to a high school kid, and there were three of four, uh, grocery stores in town, and the A&P, which was a chain, the re—others were all independent, but everybody—all the kids that I knew worked at one—one of the grocery stores. That’s where you got your first job.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] Um, so I understand you ended up in Ocala, right? But, uh—but you kind of went from—where you were needed, um…</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Yes, you—when—when you begin railroading as—as a telegraph operator, you—you are put on what they call “the extra board.” Uh, um, you—you—your first day, you establish the date of your seniority, and that means that anybody that’s hired after you—you—you have rights over them on—on—if you want to claim a job or something like that, and—and the same thing hold—anybody that[sic] hired ahead of you can claim a job that’s—whether you want—whether you want it or not, and so, you—as—on the extra board, you just went where you were needed. Uh, somebody needed to be off sick, uh—there were no vacation—no paid vacation at the time, so that—uh, there was not much of that. Although some—some people did take vacations, and you went and worked for them, or they put on extra jobs because of seasonal problems—uh, season—seasonable increases in—in business, they’d put on an extra job somewhere to help the dispatchers handle trains, and so, you worked all over. I worked, uh, I don’t know how many different places. I could probably count it up. Not worth it.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] Um, let’s see. Before the, uh, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad merged with the Seaboard Air Line [Railroad], um, and absorbed the Tavares & Gulf Railroad in 1969, you’d already moved to California at that point. Could you tell us a little bit about what you did out there with the Interstate Commerce Commission?</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Well, I—I—I—my first job with the ICC was in Chicago as—as a Railroad Safety and Service Agent, and, uh, in—in that capacity, I—I made what we call “agency checks” and “yard checks,” and we—we had two things: we were looking for compliance with the—with the tariffs, which had the force of law, and we were looking for, um, equipment that was not being used efficiently, and so, the—as the—and—and the other thing that—that in—in ’65, we also were charged with safety, uh, inspections of equipment and things of that nature.</p>
<p>However, in—in ’67 —1967, all of that was transferred into the newly-formed [U.S.] Department of Transportation, and so we no longer had any kind of safety obligation, but we still retained the car service, which was car—car efficiency, and—and the tariff and—and regulation, and so, I would go from—to various agencies along, um—in my territory. I had an—had an assigned territory, and I was supposed to visit these agencies on a periodic basis and ver—verify that they were complying with all of the rules and regulations, and that they were not delaying any equipment—and that was being used, and from there I—I was transferred to Atlanta doing the same thing, but, uh—and I stayed there for, uh, about five years, and then I was, uh, promoted and went back to Chicago as Assistant Regional Director there, and in—in that capacity, I was assisting the Re—Regional Director and overseeing all of the people that were doing the kind of work I was just desc—describing, and then, um, in ’73, I was, uh, promoted again and went to, um, San Francisco as, um, Regional Manager, and I had the, uh, responsibility for the 13 western states, plus Alaska and Hawaii. Uh, now, railroads and—and buses and trucks don’t run to Hawaii from the mainland, but—but—so we didn’t do much there, but what—I still had the responsibility for Hawaii and Alaska, and I was overseeing not only the—the people who were doing the work that I was talking about earlier, but I was also overseeing the—the lawyers, who—who, uh, handled the cases that were made and the—and the accountants that were—were auditing the—the books of the various, uh, carriers—motor and rail and barge lines and pipelines, and part of the—part of—and—and when I was in, um, San Francisco, the, um, uh, [Trans-]Alaska Pipeline [System] was being built and we had to oversee that, and the law required, at that time, that—and people usually don’t know this because a pipeline is a common carrier, and so, in order to know what they could charge, you had to know what their costs were to build and maintain the—the pipeline, and to do that, we had to have auditors go in and verify, and about ha—halfway through construction, everybody woke up that this was a nine billion dollar, uh, enterprise, and if we waited ‘til after the fact to—to, uh, audit it, we’d nev—they’d never know what they—what they could po—possibly charge. So we sent a team of auditors up there, and they stayed there for about three years determining the actual cost so that the pipeline could go into—into operation when it was finished, but then, after—I was—I was in San Francisco until 1981, and, um, the—the new chairman that had been appointed by President [Ronald] Reagan, uh, was—knew me, and he brought me into Washington[, D.C.] as Director of the Office of Compliance and Consumer Assistance, and I stayed there until I retired in ’85, but in—in Washington, I had oversight over the—the entire country for all of the things that I’ve been talking about that we did. Plus, uh, a lot of local stuff and—going up to Congress and taking care of that sort of thing.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>I read, uh, [<em>clears throat</em>] that the Morse Telegraph Club[, Inc.] used to meet at the [Central Florida] Railroad Museum on [Samuel] Morse’s birthday.<a title="">[3]</a> Could you tell me a little about, uh, the club and how that all came about?</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Well, it’s—it—it started, actually, back in the 1930s. Uh, some people that were telegraphers decided that they—that it would be a good idea to make—to have a club, and it was more or less a fraternal organization, at the time. I say “fraternal,” although there are a lot of women telegraphers. Uh, throughout the—the whole history of telegraphy, there—there have been a lot of women telegraphers, and probably, on the railroad, was—may have well have been the first industry that paid women the same wage as men for doing the same job, which was not true in—in—not true even today in many—many cases, but, uh, anyhow, these people got together and—and, as I said, it was just sort of a—I won’t say a drinking club, because it wasn’t that, but it was—it was a social club more than anything else, and then it—it sort of faded away a little bit, uh, and just hanging on by its teeth, you might say, and—and then, um, uh—I’m not sure of the exact dates, but sometime after World War II, when—when telegraphy began to fade away, as I had mentioned earlier on [inaudible] on the railroad, Western Union [Company] had al—already almost gone completely to—to teletype, uh, by that time, and, um, so the—the organization transformed itself into, uh, an historical preservation organization, and the goal of—of the, um—of the organization today is to preserve the knowledge and history and the technology that existed, uh, when the telegraph was in use, and, um, we organize in chapters.</p>
<p>Uh, we used to have a chapter in every state and some states had—had, uh, two chapters, but, uh, time has taken its toll and—and, um, now we’re down, uh—for example, the Florida chapter, of which I’m a member, um, encompasses Georgia and—and South Carolina and Tennessee, and—and Alabama. Uh, and so, the membership—the membership hasn’t really declined that much, but the membership of people who actually worked as telegraphers has obviously gone down—way down. Somebody made an estimate, and I don’t know the truth of it or not, but said there were only about 150 of us left in the organization that actually earned a living as—as telegraphers. Um, that may be true, it may not be true. I don’t know, but at the present time, we have probably around 3,000 members and we have around 30 chapters in the United States and Canada, and we—we do demonstrations at—at just about any place that will invite us to do a demonstration, but mostly to local historical societies that have an annual affair and they want something, uh, of, um—that—that has some historical significance, and so they’ll ask us to come and do—do a demonstration [<em>clears throat</em>], and many of these members that we have now have taught themselves to telegraph.</p>
<p>They’ve never worked as telegraphers, but they’ve taught themselves to telegraph, and some of the—some of the members are ham radio<a title="">[4]</a> operators, which uses a—a different code, but it’s still Morse Code. It’s an international code, known as International [Morse] Code, as opposed to American Morse [Code], which was the kind that was used on railroads and Western Union and stock markets and, uh, all of that sort of thing.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>[<em>clears throat</em>] I understand that it— somehow you, uh—you acquired a piece of the very first telegraph line that stretched all the way out to California.</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>And how’d that—how’d that—how’d you end up acquiring that?</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>I didn’t think…</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>[<em>clears throat</em>].</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>To bring that today, uh, but we—we have a website that’s—the Florida chapter has a website, and, uh, an outfit in Utah was setting up, um, an exhibit in a museum,<a title="">[5]</a> uh, where at a—at a—at a former Army camp. Uh, when I say former, I’m talking about [American] Civil War-era Army camp [<em>laughs</em>] that was one of the first stations on the Transcontinental Tre—Telegraph Line, and so they wanted some historical reference to the telegraph in their museum there, and, uh, they found our website on the internet and contacted us, and we were able to get them some telegraph instruments and assist them, and some months later, they, uh, contacted us again and said they had come into possession of a link of the original Transcontinental Telegraph Wire—came from Northeastern, uh, Nevada—just across the Utah line in Northeastern Nevada, and a man had found it and had donated, uh, a length of it—I don’t know how much—but had donated a length of it to this museum, and they wanted to know if we would like to have a piece of it, and so they sent us about two and a half feet: about 30 inches of it—a piece about that long, and it’s—it’s—it was a nine gauge, which is heavy, heavy wire. I mean, it’s—it’s almost a quarter, uh—not—not a quarter. Maybe, uh—it’s over an eighth of an inch thick—uh, the—the wire is, and it’s almost impossible to bend it with your bare hands.</p>
<p>It’s—it’s that thick, and it’d been laying out in the, uh—in the open in the desert out there near—near the old, uh, Pony Express route and the, um, stagecoach route that went west through there [<em>coughs</em>], and, um, they, uh—they kept, um—they kept it there, um, um—it—laid out there in the desert, and—and doesn’t rust like it would in—here in Florida, you know? It would all be rusted away [<em>laughs</em>] if that had happened here, and so we had that piece of—of the wire, and we—we debated as a—as an organization what to do with it. It wasn’t big enough to use anywhere really. So we wound up—and we cut it into pieces about, um, six inches long and mounted it on plaques, uh, and with a little bit of a history of it on the back of the plaque, and we use that in our demonstrations. Uh, we take it—take it around where—and we—we have these plaques distributed among the membership, so that there’s al—[always] one available somewhere, but it’s very interesting and—and—the interesting—one of the things about it, that the—it was shipped to me—mailed to me in a padded envelope and it was rolled—folded up, and I tried to straighten it out with my hands when I took it out of the envelope. I could not do it. We had to finally put it in a vice and—and hold down one end of it, and finally got it straightened out, and it was so hard that you couldn’t cut it with wire cutters or anything like that. You had to use a saw to cut it, uh [<em>clears </em>throat] but that was what—the wire that was used in the, uh, original Transcontinental Telegraph Line in 8—finished in 1861 [<em>coughs</em>].<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>Wow, incredible. Well, let’s see. Before we, uh—give us a little demonstration, do you have anything else that you’d like to add? Any final thoughts or…</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Well, I—I don’t know anything off the top of my head. Uh, uh, railroading was an interesting occupation, and I’m sure it’s still is, although I’ve been away from it now for many years. I’ve been retired for 30 years now, so, uh—and I—I’d left the railroad for 20 years before that, so [<em>laughs</em>] it’s been awhile since I’ve been railroading, but, I—I enjoyed the—the—working there, and as I said, I worked as a train dispatcher, which was, um, very complex and complicated job to keep the trains moving.</p>
<p>Uh, when I started, an old time dispatcher said, “Oh, there’s nothing to it.” Said, “You just—you just meet ‘em—don’t meet ‘em too close together or too far apart.” [<em>laughs</em>] Well, its’—that’s an oversimplification, but it—it’s what you—that’s exactly what you were trying to do was—is to move the trains over the—over the, uh, territory wi—in—in the most efficient manner possible, and that, you know—and single track and—and—and, uh, with limited, uh, communication. You had no communication—when I started, you had no communication with—with the people on the train other than handing them up, uh—as they pass an open telegraph office you—you could hand them up orders or, uh, messages of what you want to do, or they could throw off something as they went by, but, um, that was an interesting, uh, occupation and—and very demanding, very challenging. Um, somewhat comparable to an aircraft, uh, uh, air—air controller, except that we couldn’t tell the tr—trains to pull up and go around or—or, uh, fly higher and—and not hit—hit the train ahead of them. They were—they were, uh, consigned to the track. They had to stay on the track, so made—made it a little bit more complicated.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>Well, I guess, if you would, let’s, uh, give us a little demonstration here. Let me see if I…</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Well, I’m sorry…</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>Can...</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>That this is not working. I don’t know what it is, but, this—this is the sound [<em>tapping</em>]—this is the sound of—this instrument in—in this is called a sounder, [<em>tapping</em>] and this, uh, box-like object is called a resonator, and the purpose of it is to focus the sound so it can be, uh, heard more clearly, and the can—the Prince Albert tobacco can, we—we now—we call it the “first solid-state amplifier,” because it makes a difference [<em>tapping</em>]. If you can hear the different—[<em>tapping</em>] with and without the can [<em>tapping</em>], and somebody back in the—in the early days of this discovered that you could do that—that, because a railroad agent had more to do than just sit at a desk and listen—listen for this. Uh, he had to be out in the freight warehouse or [<em>inaudible</em>] out—outside with the train going by or something like that, and he needed to be able to hear the dispatcher’s wire when that was happening.</p>
<p>So that, um, uh—that really changed the way that you could do that, and—and [<em>inaudible</em>] I never worked a job that didn’t have a can stuck in the resonator like that, and this—this, uh, is just the same thing and—and—[<em>tapping</em>] with a key here. I’ll move this out of the way. This—this has a key [<em>tapping</em>] and that’s the way you sound it, and you make a dot [<em>tap</em>] by closing the key [<em>tap</em>] real quickly and a dash [<em>tap</em>] by holding it down three times as long as you do for the dot, and you [<em>tapping</em>] do that to spell out, uh, everything that you want to say, and, like texters today, we use a lot of abbreviations. As a matter of fact, many of the abbreviations that texters are using were being used by telegraphers a hundred years ago, but, this is the key [<em>tap</em>] and this is the sounder, and then this called a bug, and it’s called a bug because the logo is a beetle, and nobody knows why they chose that as their logo, but they did.</p>
<p>It started out—if you—if you worked 8 hours or 12 hours a day, which, uh, up until the Hours of Service [HOS] law went into effect in 1908, that’s, uh—you worked 12 hours a day, [<em>tapping</em>] and you worked 12 hours a day with this up and down motion you—you developed telegrapher’s paralysis. We call it carpel tunnel syndrome now, but it was telegrapher’s paralysis then [<em>tapping</em>], and so they began experimenting what you could do to—to alleviate it, and the first thing they did was turn the key on its side and work it back and forth, and they kept working with it and eventually came into this form, and this is now called a vi—a—a speed key, and I can’t demonstrate because my power somehow or another is not working here today [<em>tapping</em>], but, um, you—the speed key—if—if I want to make a—a series of dots with—with this straight key [<em>tapping</em>], it goes like that, but, with the speed key, I can do it just [<em>tap</em>] with—with one movement of my thumb, and so, that relieved the carpel tunnel, but it also speeded everything up.</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>And so, those are the—those are the—the principal instruments that—that were used by landline telegraphers, and that—the—this is called American Morse, and it was used, uh, all over—all over the world, really. It—it just changed the whole world, and then, uh, in the late 8—1800s, [Guglielmo] Marconi discovered that you could send, uh, power through the, uh—through the air and—and modulate it and—and make a—a code—send code through the air, and they did—they did that and—using a—a slightly different code. Uh, the—this code—the American Morse Code has a lot of spaces in it, which makes it, uh, uh, a lot quicker, but, with the—when it went to radio, they couldn’t tell whether the spaces were accidental or intentional, and so they eliminated the space letters and everything became, um, uh, the—the tone then—the length of the tone was—determined whether it was a dot or a dash, and that sounded like this [<em>beeping</em>], but, uh—and that’s still used by ham radio operators and all base radio stations, like your local police station and your fire stations and things of that nature, are required by the Federal Communications Commission to identify themselves every hour, and now they use a computer, but every hour on the hour, uh, these—these stations will identify themselves using International Morse Code, sending their call letters—whatever they might be, and that—your television stations, your—your commercial radio stations, they all have to do this—do that, and they do it. So that, uh, America—I mean, the International Morse Code is still in use, uh, quite a bit with ham radio operators and that. American Morse—the last known use in the United States was in 1983, but th—that was just really an anomaly, because it had—by the mid-70s it had pretty much disappeared, but there’s just this one place out in Montana that still was using it until 1983.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>That’s fantastic [<em>clears throat</em>]. Mr. McFarland, we really appreciate you sharing your story with us and demonstrating the tools of your trade.</p>
<p><strong>McFarland<br /></strong>Well, I’m happy to do it. Happy to do it.</p>
<p><strong>Cravero<br /></strong>Alright. Well, thank you so much. That will conclude our interview and, uh, we really appreciate you being here with us.</p>

Description
The new Downtown Orlando Post Office building, located at 51 East Jefferson Street, in 1958. The original post office was housed in the Federal Building, located 44 East Central Boulevard in Downtown Orlando, Florida, from 1917 to 1941. In 1935, when James Beggs, Jr. became the postmaster, he began petitioning to move the post office from its Central Boulevard and Court Avenue location to a more spacious building. In 1939, St. James Catholic Church sold a plot of land on Jefferson Street for the new building. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon in the Northern Italian Palazzo Revival-style, and was constructed by J. P. Cullen and Sons. The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government. Today, the building retains its post office services but also includes offices for the Catholic Diocese.

Cemeteries--Florida
Graveyards
Description
Viking Cemetery is one of the last remaining pieces of the small town of Viking, Florida. The area was first settled in 1892 by Major B. Daniels (1860-1947), who used the land largely to grow pineapple, a significant crop in Florida at the time. By 1895, Norwegian immigrant Jens Helseth (1858-1944) moved to the area and also grew pineapple on his 80-acre farm. From these early homesteads, the tiny village of Viking grew, named so due to the abundance of Scandinavian families who settled there. Helseth granted a portion of his homestead to serve as the community cemetery by 1905, the date of the first interment. It has since then served the descendants of Helseth, his family, and friends in the small community. The cemetery is today privately owned by the great-great grandchildren of Helseth, who maintain the site.<br /><br />Viking Cemetery has been recorded as part of the Florida Historic Cemetery Recording Project (FLHCRP), a project managed by the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN). This survey was undertaken with the assistance of students from Indian River State College (IRSC) under Dr. Kyle Freund. As part of their class to learn archaeological field methods, students assisted in recording Viking Cemetery. They were also responsible for the production of all metadata associated with the survey. Viking Cemetery is a small historic cemetery that represents interment styles of the early settler period of Florida to today. There are currently 59 grave markers in the cemetery, 10 of which have death dates before 1950.<br /><br />The mid-20th century in Florida saw a significant population boom after World War II. Generally, the date of 1950 provides an interesting, though in part arbitrary, point of reference to examine the effects of this population increase in regards to grave marker material and style. Of the 10 individual markers dating to before 1950, seven are made of granite and three of marble. After 1950, no grave markers are made of marble and nearly all are manufactured out of granite. This, in small scale, represents shifting consumer choices in grave marker material choices that are exhibited in many historic cemeteries in Florida. The use of marble as a material for grave markers declines as the more durable granite becomes cheaper and easier to procure through the growth of rail lines in the state and the mass distribution systems of companies like Aears, Roebuck & Company and Montgomery Ward. This examination of grave marker material change over time is one of many ways that these important sites allow us to encounter history.

Description
The headstone of George A. Hamm at Viking Cemetery in Fort Pierce, Florida. Hamm was born in 1918 and died in 1975. Hamm served as a Private First Class (PFC) in the U.S. Army (USA) during World War II.<br /><br />Viking Cemetery is one of the last remaining pieces of the small town of Fort Pierce, Florida. The area was first settled in 1892 by Major B. Daniels (1860-1947), who used the land largely to grow pineapple, a significant crop in Florida at the time. By 1895, Norwegian immigrant Jens Helseth (1858-1944) moved to the area and also grew pineapple on his 80-acre farm. From these early homesteads, the tiny village of Viking grew, named so due to the abundance of Scandinavian families who settled there. Helseth granted a portion of his homestead to serve as the community cemetery by 1905, the date of the first interment. It has since then served the descendants of Helseth, his family, and friends in the small community. The cemetery is today privately owned by the great-great grandchildren of Helseth, who maintain the site.

Description
Viking Cemetery is one of the last remaining pieces of the small town of Viking, Florida. The area was first settled in 1892 by Major B. Daniels (1860-1947), who used the land largely to grow pineapple, a significant crop in Florida at the time. By 1895, Norwegian immigrant Jens Helseth (1858-1944) moved to the area and also grew pineapple on his 80-acre farm. From these early homesteads, the tiny village of Viking grew, named so due to the abundance of Scandinavian families who settled there. Helseth granted a portion of his homestead to serve as the community cemetery by 1905, the date of the first interment. It has since then served the descendants of Helseth, his family, and friends in the small community. The cemetery is today privately owned by the great-great grandchildren of Helseth, who maintain the site.<br /><br />Viking Cemetery has been recorded as part of the Florida Historic Cemetery Recording Project (FLHCRP), a project managed by the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN). This survey was undertaken with the assistance of students from Indian River State College (IRSC) under Dr. Kyle Freund. As part of their class to learn archaeological field methods, students assisted in recording Viking Cemetery. They were also responsible for the production of all metadata associated with the survey. Viking Cemetery is a small historic cemetery that represents interment styles of the early settler period of Florida to today. There are currently 59 grave markers in the cemetery, 10 of which have death dates before 1950.<br /><br />The mid-20th century in Florida saw a significant population boom after World War II. Generally, the date of 1950 provides an interesting, though in part arbitrary, point of reference to examine the effects of this population increase in regards to grave marker material and style. Of the 10 individual markers dating to before 1950, seven are made of granite and three of marble. After 1950, no grave markers are made of marble and nearly all are manufactured out of granite. This, in small scale, represents shifting consumer choices in grave marker material choices that are exhibited in many historic cemeteries in Florida. The use of marble as a material for grave markers declines as the more durable granite becomes cheaper and easier to procure through the growth of rail lines in the state and the mass distribution systems of companies like Aears, Roebuck & Company and Montgomery Ward. This examination of grave marker material change over time is one of many ways that these important sites allow us to encounter history.

Title
Battle Groups Can't Halt 7th: French at Gap
Description
A newspaper article from <em>45th Division News</em>, a publication for the U.S. Army's 45th Infantry Division of the 157th Infantry Regiment. The article discusses a battle for the Seventh United States Army in the Vosges mountains. According to the article, American battle groups had forced the German Army to retreat. In the south, the French Army had reached the Belfort Gap but had made little progress.<br /><br />The 45th Infantry Division was part of the Oklahoma Army National Guard, with its members fighting in World War II and the Korean War. The division took part in the Allied invasion of Sicily and the attack on Salerno in the Italian Campaign in 1943, followed by the Battle of Anzio and the Battle of Monte Cassino in 1944. During Operation Dragoon, the 45th Division landed in southern France in latter half of 1944. In 1945, the 45th joined other forces for the Western Allied invasion of Germany, ending the European Theatre of World War II when Germany surrendered in May.

Memorial for Captain Aquilla A. Calhoun, Jr.
Description
The memorial for Captain Aquilla A. Calhoun, Jr. in Bresles, France. Capt. Calhoun, a native of Panama City, Florida, attended the University of Florida (UF) and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts. It was upon his graduation that Capt. Calhoun enlisted as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserves. Upon his enlistment, he entered the 92nd Field Artillery's 2nd Armored Division in Fort Benning, Georgia. His unit gained the nickname the Brave Cannons, which has stuck throughout the 92nd Field Artillery's career. With the intensification of World War II, the Allied began to execute the Omaha Beach Normandy Invasion in June of 1944. After the invasion, Capt. Calhoun made his way to Northern France, where he played a vital role in the liberation of Bresles, a commune in the Picardie region of France. Capt. Calhoun died during his service in France and is currently buried at the Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial in Dinozé, France. Calhoun is one of 85 Florida residents interned at Epinal. His death led to the creation of a tribute site and memorial in his honor in Bristles.

Post Dean, Cold Killing
May 29, 1944
On May 27, 1994 at 11:45, in the sky of Hautes-Vosges, combat engages in air between German and Anglo-American fighter aircrafts. This story is recounted today by André Clair who remembered that awful day: << It was a beautiful day, the children of the City Nathan Levy, play on the sidewalk of Kelsh Boulevard. Suddenly, just above, very close to the ground, many fighter planes tear the silence >>. Never were there so many planes appeared in such tight rows. The fight lasts more than an hour. We saw seven aircrafts downward and fallen in flames. The first lieutenant Post Dean managed to parachute from his plane in flames. Injured, he landed in Thalet, a town in Valtin. According to the Military History Club of Remiremont, he was treated in a house in the country, and then taken by the Germans in Gerardmer. On the 29th of May, after being interrogated at the Hotel de la Poste; he was escorted by foot, led by a sergeant, Chief Feldgendarmerie of Saint Dié, to the prison of the "Goering-Kasern" (current Kléber neighborhood). In the middle of the path on the road between the Grand’Rue and the gate of the barracks, just in front of this portal and some Géromois, the helper killed the pilot prisoner with a shot of a pistol to his back. The departmental archives specify time: 14h, and the name of Feldgendarme: Major Hiss, head of department in Saint-Dié. On May 30, the body of the American pilot, Dean Post, was handed over to French authorities and civil burial took place at the communal cemetery, German authorities have forbidden any procession and only ten people could follow the hearse. The crowd congregated in the vicinity of the tomb and despite monitoring Feldgendarmerie, many flowers are laid on the coffin. The Feldgendarmerie gave the order to all move from the grave. The tomb of the aviator was covered overnight with an impressive layer of flowers, removed by the Germans in the morning, but restarted the following night. After the war, the body of Post Dean rejoined the American cemetery of Quequement in the aisle B28-30. Today, based on the locations of the fallen aircrafts, we can collect these stones, in Clefcy, the Evelines at Martimpré.

Captain Aquilla A. Calhoun, Jr. and Lillian Luke Calhoun
Description
Captain Aquilla A. Calhoun, Jr., a native of Panama City, Florida, with his wife Lillian J. Luke Calhoun (b. 1922). Capt. Calhoun attended the University of Florida (UF) and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts. It was upon his graduation that Capt. Calhoun enlisted as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserves. Upon his enlistment, he entered the 92nd Field Artillery's 2nd Armored Division in Fort Benning, Georgia. His unit gained the nickname the Brave Cannons, which has stuck throughout the 92nd Field Artillery's career. With the intensification of World War II, the Allied began to execute the Omaha Beach Normandy Invasion in June of 1944. After the invasion, Capt. Calhoun made his way to Northern France, where he played a vital role in the liberation of Bresles, a commune in the Picardie region of France. Capt. Calhoun died during his service in France and is currently buried at the Epinal American Cemetery and Memorial in Dinozé, France. Calhoun is one of 85 Florida residents interned at Epinal. His death led to the creation of a tribute site and memorial in his honor in Bristles.

Westinghouse Electric Corporation
Description
Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business the The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. The company changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945. In 1981, the company began to relocate its divison headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail.<br /><br />In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling, and a top-level decision to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings in the area were leased and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation of Germany in 1998, additional buildings (Quad II and Quad III) were added to the original complex at the Quadrangle. From 1998 to 2003 the Orlando operation was known as Siemens-Westinghouse, after which the name of Westinghouse was dropped. The operation has been known as Siemens from that time forward.

Description
A paper published in 1994 by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Written by A. J. Scalzo, R. L. Bannister, M. DeCorso, and G. S. Howard, this paper provides a concise compilation of the history of Westinghouse Electric's combustion turbine technology, from its origins in the early development of a U.S.-built aviation gas turbine for jet propulsion during World War II, through the early industrial applications starting in 1948, and continuing through decades of evolution of the heavy duty power generation machines up to and including the advanced 160MW W501F.

Description
<p><span>The </span>Florida-France Soldier Stories<span>project seeks to tell the stories of the Florida soldiers buried in the American Battle Monuments Commission cemeteries in France. Our goal is to honor and commemorate the brave individuals who gave their lives supporting the Allied forces, liberating France, and defeating Germany in the Second World War. Simultaneously, our goal is to teach the students who participate in this research project about the history of France and Florida during World War II, about the history of individual servicemen, and about how to implement historical research methods in their work.</span></p>

<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>My name is Porsha Dossie. This is an oral history interview of [Alice] Kathryn Aulin…</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Bunch.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Bunch, and it is April 18<sup>th</sup>, 2015, and we are at the Lawton House in Oviedo, Florida.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>So, Kathryn, please tell me a little bit about growing up in Oviedo. You were born here? Is that correct?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>I was born here in[sic] July 2<sup>nd</sup>, 19, uh, 26 [<em>laughs</em>], and lived here ‘til I graduated from high school, but most everything we, uh, did, we did it e—either at the church or at school. That was[sic] our activities in those days—back in those days.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Uh, you went to the Oviedo School? Is that right?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Uh huh, it was just one school. You went from first through, um, twelfth, and then you graduated from there, and it was only three of us that graduated, because it was wartime. Not that we had that many to start with, but with—it was ‘cause of the war and the boys were gone—had gone off to be in service during World War II.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>What was that like?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>We just got used to the war. We—I mean, like, a lot of things that were different—uh, you were limited, uh, to a lot of things back then that, Uh, you couldn’t, uh,—you couldn’t buy clothe[sic]—or shoes—leather shoes. You were limited to so many like that and things, uh, but other than that, we got used to it, and, uh, had, uh, some—I—I was older when I was—in high school, I was—had boyfriends that would go off to the service and come—and not come back, and that was sorta sad too, uh, in those days. We had servicemen stationed in, uh—in the [Armed] Service, uh, in the woods near here too, as well as—they were—their main place was in Orlando, but they would be over here at different times, and my father<a title="">[1]</a> ran the—we had two swimming pools, and there was, um, dance hall there, and, uh, he ran the swimming pools, and we—that’s where we had a number of the service boys—would come and dance there with—as well as the local, but we didn’t have that many local boys of that age around anymore. So…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>That was it.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>What were the swimming pools called?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>They were the Oviedo swimming pool. It was, um, by the city, and they did away with ‘em. Uh, I have a couple of pictures of them that—I don’t know if they still ever—that—there’s—it still belongs to the City [of Oviedo].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong> The property does, but the pools have been done away with, and they got ballparks there or somethin’ now, but that was the thing to do. Uh, we had a sm—a small and a large one, uh, and he man—he managed those for—during that period of, um—my daddy did for a while.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Was that the—Sanlando?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>No, we went to Sanlando when you went—go on a big date[?].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] I have a picture of, uh—of the three…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>The three seniors at Sanlando, and it, uh—in my book, or it’s in our yearbook, I think.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>So tell me a bit about your yearbook. I know you brought that with you today…</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>To be scanned. You made that yourself?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>We, uh—we put it together, although I’m sure somebody else helped us, uh, but we did have to glue the pictures in, and, uh, I noticed that I—in the other one—the year before me—that we typed the words in there, and actually, I noticed that in one place, the typing—if we made a mistake, instead of erasing the letters, just typed back over it, which [<em>laughs</em>] would not be a thing to have done, I don’t think, in those days, but they’re hand-typed. I mean, everything was done by hand, not woven books and things, like they are nowadays, but other than that—and we had an awful of, uh—I was a Baptist, and we all went to the Baptist church, and did most everything—social life was there, as well as school. Those were our two main things [<em>sniffs</em>] to do during—but other than that, I don’t—I…</p>
<p>When we left Orlando, we still [inaudible], uh—I graduated from high school, but I had a job in Orlando, uh, my last year, and I started working at the bank. My sister—older sister<a title="">[2]</a>—two years older than me—was already working in Orlando, so I moved from Oviedo to Orlando, and been there the rest of my life, after that.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>So you, uh—what did you do at the bank?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Teller. When you started out, in those days, at the bottom, you learned every step. Nowadays, I understand you go in whatever department you’re gonna—but you—you started answering the phone, then[?] learning the each thing—bookkeeping—and, uh, I ended up—I was a teller when I left.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>So how did you meet your husband?<a title="">[3]</a></p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>That was—my mother-in-law<a title="">[4]</a> was a big person to go into bank, and I understood she wanted my husband, who was in the service—and I didn’t know ‘im. I knew her from being a customer at the bank, but, uh, she wanted to have him meet her—my sister, but for some reason, he just—and she was already there two years ahead of me.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>But for some reason, he would rather have met me, so…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] I dated him, and we met, uh—we married later on, uh, after he’d come out of the service. He was a—in the—she had, uh, property in—in, uh, cattle and dairy and a ranch, and he was in the ranch business at that time, after he came out of the service, and we married, had two girls,<a title="">[5]</a> and that’s been it.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>So, um, growing up in Oviedo, you knew the, uh, Wheelers and the Evans? Is that correct?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>The Wheelers were actually kin—uh, my daddy’s sister, Mary Ann, um—Mattie, uh, Wheeler<a title="">[6]</a> married, uh—he—that’s his sister—married [Robert] Lee Wheeler, who was a brother to Frank Wheeler, uh, that had Nelson and Company and those[?]…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>And there was the Law—Lawtons and the, uh, Lees, and the—all those were, uh—they—they were the people in Oviedo, and everybody knew everybody back in those days.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>And, uh, I actually—my daddy, uh—the man that, uh—my daddy’s dad<a title="">[7]</a>—that named Oviedo was born—he was—the house at where he was born is still here,<a title="">[8]</a> as I understand. It doesn’t look anything like it did…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Back then. They’ve changed it around, but it’s still there.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>But…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>So you said the Wheelers were kin?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Yes, uh, Lee Wheeler—my aunt married—was a brother to Frank Wheeler. That—like I said, they were—and, um—and I think I, uh—we’ve got the background all in—in all these books and things, and[?] the Lawtons—there’s a com—combination of—way back there, with all those—that’s first started. Now, about the Lees, I’m not real sure, but they were here too. They were another family that was—but everybody knew everybody…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Back in those days—and you—for some reason, we never did—did—my sister and I have talked about it since—why the women went to the Methodist church—most of ‘em—of the husband and wife, and the men went to the Baptist church. I, uh—not in our family, but m—most of ‘em—a lot of ‘em, that’s the way it worked, and you—still, you got together, eh, for socials and things like—I mean, you got together with the two churches, but for some reason, the women all seemed to be—want, uh—go to the Methodist church, and we—but I went to the Baptist all my life and still do [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>What kind of social events did you guys have at the Baptist church?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Well, just, uh—just nothing really that much. Uh, picnic-type things, and, uh, we had, uh, training you, uh—the one thing I did do, which isn’t the thing[?] to try to tell, uh, we had BYPU<a title="">[9]</a> or BTU, we called it—Baptist Training Union—at night, which is like—Sunday mornin’, you have Sunday school, and at night, and I would have a date. I could go to trainin’ union and not stay for church at[sic] Sunday night, and this was a, uh, typical thing, and it—I wasn’t the only one that did this. It was a—but that was the thing to do Sunday night, and we’d—we’d go to Winter Park. Uh, that was the place to go after—and, uh, go, uh, to a movie, and then go to, uh, get Coke and a sandwich, and come home. That was just a typical Sunday, uh, night. We went to, uh—did that, back in those days, but we didn’t, uh—anything that we had as far as social things, uh—there weren’t that many. I mean, it was something at the church, or, uh, it was eating or something, and I’m, uh—but, uh, other than that, I don’t remember too much, but[?] that’s about it. I [<em>laughs</em>]…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>So let me ask you about, um, the influence of the military on Oviedo in the 1940s. How did that affect your life here in Oviedo?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>It—it did. Like I said, we met a lot of them men that were stationed here, and, uh, That’s when we could go to the pool and, uh, could dance, and Met a lot of ‘em that way, and then, uh—but, uh—and some of them even dated other people, because I remember, uh, one going with my sister to church. Uh, I mean, they were close enough friends if they were doing that, back in—they were very good. I—we didn’t—we didn’t mind ‘em being here, by any means. It was something going on. ‘Course, war was just so different, anyhow, back then. I mean—and then when they left here, we went, uh—moved to Orlando, and we still did things with the service people there, uh, at the different things that were for so—the soldiers back then too. Went to dances and things like that. That was mainly what most of the things were. Although, I have some pictures I’ve seen that we were at a lake out there at the—at the, uh, base<a title="">[10]</a> in our bathing suits and things, with the boys out there. So we did do things out there at the base too.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Uh, but it was just different than things are nowadays [<em>laughs</em>], but an awful lot of boys stayed—married people and, uh—and just like in Sanford, they married, uh—a lot of the Navy people are married to Sanford people too. So other than that, I really don’t know too much to report on that.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>So we can discuss some of the items you brought today. You brought your yearbook? Um…</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>What else did you bring?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Well, the, um—my, uh, my sister-in-law wanted a copy of a letter that was written by Steen Nelson, as to how Oviedo was named. Our fa—grandfather, they say named—I mean, and—why he named it Oviedo and that business. So I—that’s in the—one of those copies, and I had an annual, uh, yearbook for the fo—where we got to get together for our 50<sup>th</sup>, uh—the other class—we didn’t have but two that showed up, but they—for our 50<sup>th</sup> anniver—graduatin’, we have a book on that. That’s in—in those things that I saved, uh, but we didn’t have but two that showed up for that [<em>laughs</em>]. That was me and, uh, one boy, and he’s still here in Oviedo, I understand.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Auliff[?] [inaudible], and, um, other than that, I don’t know…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>You brought some…</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Uh…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>44s?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Uh, my letters for my—I got a—I was, uh—played basketball in high school…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>When I was—got a 44 and a[sic] O for, uh, my letter, with my stripes and stars on it for being captain—co-captain, and, uh, they’re in there—the O and the 44, and I also have an [U.S. Army Air Force Aircraft Warning Service] armband that I got from havin’ watched planes go over, uh, during wartime. We—we each had a shift. They had a tower they built over in Downtown Oviedo, and, uh—in front of the [First] Baptist Church [of Oviedo], and, uh, we would report whatever plane was going over and[?] the direction, and I’m pre—I’m thinking we were reporting back to the base, or somethin’, what kind of plane. Now, why I would know, uh—I’m sure they taught us how and all that.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>But that was what it was, and they gave us an arm—and I have that in there to give to the His—[Oviedo] Historical Society.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>What was that like watching the planes overhead?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Uh, I don’t know.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>I’m thinkin’ back. I—I don’t know that I was that smart about it, but I guess they were tryin’ to get—and they would get more[?] girl—people they would get…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>On, uh—and you had a shift, I’m sure, you know, and, uh, went[?]—went there after school or whenever. Maybe it was a weekend, um—on the weekend. I—I just know we did it same time at—why they chose to do it right[?] there in Oviedo? I don’t know. I guess they did it in all kind of different areas of the—around the bases, but, uh, that was part of it, and—and they gave us a[sic] armband to put on that says that that’s what you were. So I have—I saved that and my letters, and I never did use ‘em for anything. I didn’t put ‘em on a sweater, I don’t think.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>But that was about it. It wasn’t very [<em>laughs</em>], uh—not—not like it was nowadays with young people, and things[?] goin’ up, but was good.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>I’ve enjoyed it.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>I had, uh, two sisters<a title="">[11]</a> and, uh, two brothers,<a title="">[12]</a> and, uh, so we had pretty good-sized family to—to deal with, and my daddy—as well as having the pool, he did do a lot with examining fruit, uh, to be sure it was ready to be picked and that, and he did that for quite a few years too—too, and my mother<a title="">[13]</a> worked at Nelson and Son, but she was a seamstress, and she did a lot of, uh, sewing for people. Uh, you know, the [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>So they both working at the Nelson packing company here?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Mmhmm, both ‘em had, mmhmm. matter of fact, my mother was working there when my youngest brother<a title="">[14]</a> was still too—too young, uh—little to go to school, and she would—would keep him in one of the—the places where they were packin’ the oranges, and I—when school was out, I’d go out do there and get him and go back home with him, and I got a nickel to go by the drugstore, which was in the center of Downtown Oviedo, to get a Coca-Cola, and—and he[?] got ‘em off of a fountain. The man behind the fountain would give[?] them to you. That was one thing I remember—and ordered—that was my payment for…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Eh, takin’ care of him ‘til she got home.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie</strong> [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>But, uh, we did—didn’t have a lot of money, but we had—we had plenty to get by with, and that was the way it worked in those days.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>So tell me about, uh, your siblings. You just—you mentioned that you had brothers and sisters.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Well, I had one girl—one sister that was two years older, and, uh, she was smart—very smart, and, uh—and why she—how she got the job in Orlando ahead of time? I don’t know, but anyway, she moved over there, and, uh, as a teller at the bank, and, uh—and I—we did not go to college that much in those days. The girls didn’t then[?], and, uh, [inaudible] we couldn’t have afforded it anyway, I’m sure, but, uh, she liked the bank and was doing alright and had a place in Orlando called the [inaudible] Community Club, which was right down near the center of Downtown Orlando, and, uh, you stayed there and you got your food and that kind of stuff, and she knew that I was graduatin’ and that—she thought I’d get a job there, so I did. I went over and applied and they gave it to me, and I moved in and we stayed there at the [inaudible] Community[?] Club, and that’s when went to a place in Downtown Orlando to dance with the USO.<a title="">[15]</a> Uh—they had a place for—but, uh, she started making too much money to stay at [inaudible] Community[?] Club, which was part of the deal. I mean, the—and so we all moved to a place down out of there, uh, and then—but stayed there ‘til I get married—met my husband and we got married, and that was it, but then I have a sister that’s here, and she’s giving information today. She’s an artist, and I had a brother,<a title="">[16]</a> but he went to Texas. He—he was in the service, uh, also, and he’s no longer living, and my older sister isn’t either, but my other sister’s here, and she’s[sic] lives in Lake Mary, and, um, is an artist, and she’s doing a lot of work today for them, and then I’ve got my brother<a title="">[17]</a> that lives here in Oviedo, and he and his wife<a title="">[18]</a> live here, and that’s it—that I…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>With us—the rest of the family, but all the rest of ‘em are gone, but we’ve got the sister here and the brother here, and that’s—and me—of the family—of the five of us. That’s what’s left. I’m the oldest of the group.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Well, is there anything else you’d like to tell me about Oviedo that we haven’t covered yet?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>No, it’s, eh—it—it is—nothing the same.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>I don’t know my way around it at all. I—I just cannot—I—how much the church, uh—how big it is, uh—has added and added to, uh, and I came out, went to church [inaudible], and there was no—well, the person that I—only person I knew that I saw—that I knew that day and he’s [inaudible]. He was a Wheeler—Frank Wheeler, Jr., and, um, I didn’t know anybody, and—just like I don’t know anybody out here nowadays, uh, but, uh, my mother is, uh—she’s been dead a pretty good while, and, uh, that—once she was gone, then I didn’t come back out like I did to—did later on, but, uh, it’s grown, and that’s for sure, and I keep seeing it goin’ more too, but other than that—and back in our day, we didn’t have anything but a Methodist and Baptist church. Now, I’m sure they got all of ‘em different ones…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Now, out here now.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Has the growth surprised you?</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Yes, it really has. It’s—it’s—it is—it’s much—than I would’ve thought when I was growing up, yes, um, ‘cause like I said, you knew everybody, but I think it’s this way with other small towns, but probably the way they do, but this one has grown from what it was back in our day. That’s for sure, but other than that, I don’t know. Eh, I—I really don’t know of any other—and I don’t know if I know anybody that lives out here, except my sister—my brother-in-law—my brother and sister-in-law, and, uh, Bettye [Jean Aulin Reagan] has, um—her child is out here now, but I don’t know any of the past, uh—I—that’s why I said when I was looking in that, uh, yearbook, I don’t know that there’d be anybody anymore, and as old as I am, um, I’m—I guess I’m one of—of, uh, the older ones that would be, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Out here nowadays.Knowing how—I know people go to their 90s and that, but I still—they can’t, uh—back in my day, I don’t—I don’t know if there’s anybody that much more out here that I would’ve known, unless I was kin to ‘em, and I don’t have anybody out here now. So—but things have sure changed, and I do see there are, uh, in the b—block that we called[?] goin’ around Oviedo, uh, some of those houses, when we’ve gone, are still there. That—which is odd. Very—they’ve been there quite a while. Like I said, where my daddy was born,<a title="">[19]</a> uh, it’s still there these days, but it doesn’t look anything like it—I mean, they changed it all around—backyard and everything.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>But I don’t have that much to contribute [<em>laughs</em>] to Oviedo. That’s for sure.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Oh, you definitely…</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>And, um…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Told us some great…</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Information today.</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Yeah, so I think that’s enough.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Well, we’re going to bring the interview to a close. I wanna thank you so much…</p>
<p><strong>Bunch<br /></strong>Thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>For being interviewed, and I really appreciate you coming out here and doing [inaudible] did.</p>

Transcript
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Alright, so we’re here with, um, Ms. Nadine [Davis] Aulin, conducting an oral history interview. Um, the interview is conducted by myself, Sarah Schneider, at the Alafaya [Library] Branch of the Orange County Library System, um, in Orlando, Florida. It’s Friday, March 13<sup>th</sup>, twe—2015, and, um, the interview will cover topics about Oviedo’s history and the Aulin family’s history, and, um, this is being done for the UCF [University of Central Florida] Public History introduction class, um, for their project on Oviedo’s history. So welcome. Thank you for talking with us today.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, I’m glad to be here.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Um, and so could you start off just introducing yourself, um, to the camera. So tell yourself a little—tell us a little bit about yourself, um, where you grew up, and how long you’ve been in Oviedo.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Okay, I, um, was born and raised in Orlando. Um, remember Orlando from when it was, uh, 75,000 until now. uh, I married my husband<a title="">[1]</a> in 1965, and prior to that, I had been to Oviedo many times. my grandparents lived in Chuluota, uh, but I wasn’t, you know, didn’t really know people from Oviedo, but, uh, my husband, uh, went to Vietnam in 1965 through ’66, and during that time, uh, I lived with his aunt, who was, uh, Nettie [Dorcas] Jacobs Aulin. She was married to, uh, Theodore Aulin, who everybody called “The Judge,”, because he was Justice of the Peace.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Ah.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, in addition to that, my mother-in-law,<a title="">[2]</a> at that time, was living and she lived in Oviedo, and we had a close relationship.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh, great, um, and so what was life like in or—in Oviedo when you moved here—in the area?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, it was sorta cool. Um, the big events happened through the [First] Methodist Church [of Oviedo] or the [First] Baptist Church [of Oviedo]. uh, anything that was going on it was either through that or the—or the [Seminole County Public] Schools. Um, people—it was a big deal to go into Orlando out to eat. You know, you didn’t just do that willy-nilly. You, eh—it was an occasion.</p>
<p>Um, what I loved about that time is, uh, Oviedo had one police officer, and that was, um, George Kelsey, and his family had been here I think as long as the Aulins, uh, and he, uh, took care of the town. He, uh, would sleep, I think, in the early morning and then be around 18 hours a day doing his job, and he did it well. I don’t think we had too much crime. Uh, one of the things is, uh—Aunt Nettie—when I was living with her, we had an armadillo that bothered us, and she called Mr. Kelly[sic]—Mr. Kelsey to, uh, come get rid of that armadillo, and he says, “Well, Aunt Nettie, I’ll—I’ll be there as soon as I can. I just got in bed,” and she said, “Well, he’s out in our yard now, you need to come by now.” [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So he did. He came, and, uh, he says, “Okay. Well, I’m here. Where’s the armadillo?” And we—of course, the armadillo was gone by the time he got there, and she says, “Well, just hang around. you can shoot it,” and he says, “I don’t think I’m gonna be shooting armadillos, Aunt Nettie,” and—because, you know, everybody called everybody “Aunt” or “Ms.” or—you know, it wasn’t just first names, and she was, uh—one of his best friend’s son, er—her son was one of his best friends, and so, of course, he wanted to accommodate her, but he didn’t [<em>laughs</em>]—he wanted to be shooting armadillos in Downtown Oviedo. We lived right across from the Baptist church.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So that wouldn’t have gone over very well, but that’s just sorta how Oviedo was back in those days—is that everybody knew everybody, and, uh, like the mayor of the time was, uh—oh, gosh, what was his name?<a title="">[3]</a> He was so nice. Um, it’ll come to me, but anyway, he used to go to the post office every morning and bring me my mail. You know, you’re not supposed to let somebody have somebody else’s mail, but he would bring me my mail, because my husband, being in Vietnam, he would write to me every day, and so this mayor would, uh—gosh, why can’t I think of his name? Um, he would bring me my mail, and, uh, it was just sorta, you know—sorta like, uh, small town, uh, neighborly kinda things that went on, back in those days.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Great, great, and did you mention, um—what year did you come to Oviedo?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>I was, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>I’m not…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>We got married in ‘65, and he soon left to go to Vietnam right after that. So, yeah, ’65.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And I was working at the Townhouse Restaurant, and it was like a year old</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>When I started to work there.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Wow, uh, huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And so it’s been an institution…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>For many years now.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Yeah, Um, and what kinds of people—what kinds of jobs did people have in town around that time?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, most everybody worked at either the packin’ house or in the groves, and you know, of course, there was the insurance companies, and there was real estate, uh, people back, at that time. Oviedo was beginning to build up, because the [Florida Technological] University<a title="">[4]</a> was in the works…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And people were moving out this way and buying houses, and, um—but farming and, um, the citrus was[sic] the main jobs, uh, I think, uh, at the time. At some point in time, I went to work for Citizens Bank [of Oviedo],<a title="">[5]</a> and at that time, it was like the, uh, only—the—the next largest business that wasn’t, uh, uh, the packin’ house…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>You know, and, uh, I think it was the only building, at that time, that had an elevator, and it may still be.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>I don’t know. I can’t—I don’t know if there’s any buildings in the actual town that has an elevator, besides that. Maybe they do. I don’t know, but that was sort of a big deal that they had an elevator...</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>To [inaudible], uh, but yeah. There was one—I—I I’m trying to think if there was any other major jobs. Uh, there was your, uh—you know, you had school teachers and that kind of thing, but mostly it was farming.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Something to do with farming.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh, and you mentioned people going to Orlando. that was a special treat. What other kinds of things did people do for fun in town?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Oh, back then they, uh—ball games. They were really into, um, the different ball games, so like baseball, football. The Oviedo, um—had just—the [Oviedo] High School had just started over, at, uh, Career Field, and, uh, they had their first football game—a team for the school’s in 1964—maybe ‘63—but it was a very good team. By 1965, they had, uh, uh—were winning a lot of games, and people really supported them, and, eh, little league and—and all that. people were really into that. I remember [<em>laughs</em>] when we came home from, uh, our honeymoon, the—after we took our luggage to his mother’s house—we went to, uh, a baseball game.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>You know, who does that?</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] But, eh, you know, it was the community thing, I think, uh, maybe because the community was so small, but people were active. If, um, you—even if you didn’t have children playin’ ball, you still wanted to go to support them and be there, and, uh, it was just, like I said, small town U.S.A.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh, great. Um, and so what is Oviedo-life like today? What…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well [<em>laughs</em>]...</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>I—I think that, um—I, uh, think that it’s still very neighborly, but more secular. Uh…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>I think there’s, uh—you know, people who live out on this side of town sort of do their kind of thing with their kids and their schools, and on the other side of town, the same thing, you know? I think that, uh, it—I—I think Oviedo still sort of has a reputation of being friendly and has that small town atmosphere kind of thing. Um, I don’t know if you’ve looked on the website. There’s an Oviedo community web—website, and people…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh, okay.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Go in with their gripes and—or their happy things, or…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>You know, whatever. So it’s still, uh—technology’s sorta caught up with us, and...</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>But I don’t think in a negative way. I think that’s sort of a good thing.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Great, um, and has—is there anything else that has changed in Oviedo since you’ve lived here that you—that you’ve noticed?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Oh, I’m sure they’re lots of changes that I, you know—of course, they’re building new buildings and tearing down old buildings. Um, citrus has not gained or even [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] and citrus is leaving us, and so is, uh, when—when we were first—when I first came here to Oviedo, um, out in Black Hammock, there was celery growing and cabbage and onions, and there was always something growing out there, and Now, there’s really nothing. There’s palm trees, but with the building industry not being too hot, they’re just growing and growing. They’re not being sold, uh, and I don’t even see much sod being sold. Um, uh, we, uh—all that has changed. It’s just not agriculture any more, and, uh, you know, then, uh, it’s modern times. I think people are, um, you know, since we’ve started here, there’s been integration, and so, that’s a big difference in Oviedo. um, people working together of different races and things like that, and I think it’s going pretty well.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Um, so…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Okay, great. Um, so do you have any other stories—memorable stories about your time living in Oviedo, um, while you’ve been living there?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well [<em>laughs</em>]…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>There’s been like the—I think it was, uh, one of the packing houses out on, uh, [Florida State Road] 46 caught on fire. This was in the early maybe 70s—maybe late 60s…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, that was a huge deal. I mean, everybody, uh, was going out to see that fire….</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, but, uh—and of course, there’s been, u, funny things that’s happened, and I—right now, I can’t think of any[<em>laughs</em>], but, uh—you know, personal things—but, uh, eh, Just the change and the times, and the university, like I said, started it all. Uh, people started moving out here and then, because there was now new bedroom communities. Uh, then other businesses, that catered to that, have moved out here. I mean, we’ve got so many food, you know, restaurants and places to get food, and, uh, we don’t—and, you know, we’ve got a [Oviedo] Mall. Who would’ve ever though Oviedo would have a mall, and all these different places? Uh, It’s, uh, a very—like if—if you think back—1965 and today—it’s like two different worlds…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Until you get down to the nitty gritty of it and start talking to people that actually live here. They still—still, I think, sorta have the same mindset.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s what I think.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Huh. Um, alright. So what family stories have you heard, uh, about Oviedo’s early history? So before you lived here.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, my, um, mother-in-law, who I, uh, learned so much from, she, uh, came here when she was I think 17—maybe 18 years old—from Lake Monroe, Florida, which is right outside of, uh, Sanford. Uh, she came out here because there was a lady that was running the hotel in Oviedo, that was right where the main red light is, um, in Oviedo. It was sort of east, uh, or south of that, and, uh, since then, of course, it’s burned down, and—but, uh, she came out to actually take care of the lady’s children while the lady ran the hotel. The [?] t turned into—she became like the telephone operator there, and, uh, I think she is noted as the first telephone operator in, uh, Oviedo, because, you know, that was a big deal back then too, and she, uh—that’s where she met her husband.<a title="">[6]</a> Uh, he worked across the way at the packing house with his, you know—his—the people who owned the packing house were relatives of his. Not that—I—I don’t think it was nepotism that he had a job there. It’s just there were not many other places to work, but, um, she met him there, and she learned how to pack fruit just by sittin’ around. I guess that was their courting days, you know?</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>“Here, let me show you how [<em>laughs</em>] to pack fruit.”</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>But, uh—and she used to tell me, um, or she told me once that, uh, she—when they courted, uh, her husband’s, uh, cousin, would loan him his car, and it was a roadster, and I never quite got the concept of what a roadster is, but I do know that, uh, one of the cars that they rode around in had the rumble seat in the back</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Ah.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And when they would double date, she and her husband always had to be in the rumble seat, but when it was just the two of them, they would—a big date would be him taking her to Lake Monroe to visit her parents [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So—but anyway, they, uh—they—she used to tell me stories about how they dressed, and, you know, her husband, um, was sort of dashing. I think he wore this straw, Panama hat or somethin’, and, uh, she was a great seamstress, so she made all her clothes, and she was seamstress for Oviedo. She, uh, made so many wedding dresses for people, and, uh, I think she sewed for about—oh, gosh. I want to say about 40 years…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And she was really great. Uh, she would make you clothes that—as a matter of fact, there was one person in Oviedo that used to take her to, uh, Winter Park, and they would sketch out the dresses in the windows…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And then she would come back and make them for this person, and, you know, for hardly any money at all, and in Winter Park, it would cost like, 20 times whatever she charged…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Because they were very nice dresses, but, uh—and she did that up until she was in her ‘60s.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, everybody loved to have her make them a dress, and she always was—loved to do it, because it was like her calling. It was her art. It was her thing, and, uh, she really enjoyed that very, very much, and, uh, of course, it was the different people that would come there. She had these, um—what do they call them? Dress models?</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, and she had one that was—one lady that was sort of heavy, and that’s what she called it—by this lady’s name, and, um, I’m not saying their names, ‘cause their families all—still are here.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And then there’s another one that the lady was quite tall, and she called it that, and then finally she got this little short, fat, one and she called it Nadine [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And she used to make me my clothes, even when we were stationed in Germany or wherever. She’d send me, uh, my clothes, and they would be perfect every time. So, um, she was very, very talented at that, and I, uh, think that, uh—like I said, I think that it was her art, and she enjoyed doing it, and I think a lot of people, uh, of that era enjoyed working. I don’t think you see that so much anymore.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And I think people, uh, of my father’s age and, uh, Andy’s parents, they just sorta took their job very, very seriously, and it was their thing. It was, you know—they had pride in what they were doing. It wasn’t just—and of course, they had to earn money, and they didn’t earn that much for whatever they were doing, but still it was their—their art. It was their art.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So there’s, um—some of the funny stories would be, uh, Andy’s uncle, eh, Theodore, who they all called Fifi, um, he didn’t [<em>laughs</em>] believe in change. So like, if they put in a traffic light or a stop sign where they never had had one before, he never paid—after he got old, he never paid any attention for—to it.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, he was just—and George, the policeman, would just say, “Well, that’s Uncle Fifi. We just have to watch out for him.” [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And there was other people like that. there were what you call “characters” around the town, and—and that’s what people did—is they just sorta said, uh, “Well, that’s who they are,” and, you know, you just have to watch out for them, and I think that’s where the lovely—lovely thing about Oviedo and small towns everywhere, I’m sure.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And so, uh, don’t know what else…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Yeah, that’s great, um, and you mentioned the—being a telephone or switchboard operator. Um, so what were the name—what was her name? [inaudible]…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Her name was Alice.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Alice?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Mary Alice Aulin.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Um, yeah. Uh, she did that, and, uh, as a matter of fact, when they did the centennial here, I, uh—they recognized her for that, and, um, it was very nice, um, and that was a nice thing too. I don’t know if you, uh—I’m sure you got information about that, but that centennial thing was really a nice thing that Oviedo did. Uh, brought everybody together, and then people that were new got to know more about what was going on. uh…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>There was, like, memorial celery vase.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Have you heard that or seen that? Uh…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>I haven’t seen it. no.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, uh, most of us have one that were around at that time, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And that’s when, um, Mr. Neely’s book<a title="">[7]</a> came out.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh, okay.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, or Miss [Donna] Neely’s. I guess it was Ms. Neely’s. Uh, Dr., uh—what was his name?<a title="">[8]</a> Doesn’t matter.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>That’s okay. Uh, [inaudible] another one of those things that will come to you, but, um, that all sorta gelled at the same time for the centennial, and It was a big celebration, and, um, it was very, very, very nice.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm, nice. Yeah, um, and have you heard any family stories about Andrew Aulin?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Oh, yes, he…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>That you’d like to share.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Was, uh—now, the first Andrew Aulin? You know, there’s…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>The first Andrew Aulin, and then there was my husband’s father, Andrew Aulin, and my husband, Andrew Aulin, and none of them have middle names, and, uh, [<em>laughs</em>]…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So it’s just…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Confusing.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, but anyway, the first one, uh—it’s was my understanding that he traveled a lot before he settled down and came to Florida, but, um, one of the places that he traveled to or was in was, um, Oviedo, Spain. There was a big University [of Oviedo] there, and evidently, he was a scholar, and he had gone to, uh, [Uppsala] University in Uppsala, Sweden. he was Swedish, and, um—so when he came to Oviedo and they decided they were gonna make a town, and as a postmaster, they had him choose the name, he chose Oviedo, because this area reminded him of that town—city—I guess it was—and, uh—so therefore, he named it Oviedo, because—and—and also it had the Spanish name and Florida has a Spanish name—is a Spanish name. So he all thought it all sorta fit.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, um, it’s also my understanding—and this is sorta—I’ve heard people sorta joke about it—that he really cared more about reading and his books and doing scholarly things that, uh, he didn’t really care much about his business. He—he had a business, and I heard someone say—I think it was Mr. W. A. Ward’s father, uh, Bill Ward—said, um, that he would like—and maybe it wasn’t Mr. Ward—but anyway it doesn’t matter—it was somebody from that era—said that, uh, you would go into the mercantile store and say, you know, you wanted—I don’t know, um—seven yards of material or whatever, and he’d say, “Well, it’s back over that way,” and he’d go right back to his book [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh—so whether people paid him or not he wasn’t real [<em>laughs</em>]…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>But I’m sure they all did pay, because it was a different era, again, at that time, but, uh, they said that they[?]—they would often see him sittin’ outside his—his store—just sittin’ there reading a book…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, he—it’s also my understanding that he, uh, taught, was one of the first like little school situations here. Not that it was really a school. I don’t know about that. I just know that he taught people whatever he taught them, I don’t know if it was Greek or, uh, some, uh—something more than just grade school kind of things. I’m not sure about that. I just know that, uh—that was, uh,—has been told to me several times—was that he, um—and it may be even—there’s a letter written by, uh, Steen Nelson, uh, who…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Nelson and Company.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, in that letter, there’s a descript—description of, uh, Andrew Aulin, and, uh, I think in there, he mentions him being a scholar, and, um, his store, and naming the town, and—and those kind of things, and I have—I just thought of it. I think I have a copy of that letter that I’ll try to provide for you, if I can find it. Uh…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Yeah, that’d be great.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, then there’s[sic] other people in town that have a copy of it too, so I’m sure that we can locate it, and that’s sorta interesting too. I don’t know much about Steen Nelson, other than Nelson and Company was originally his business.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, I don’t know if he became a partner with Mr. [Benjamin Franklin] Wheeler[, Sr.], or if the Wheelers just bought it out, or what.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>I don’t know that, but, uh, yeah. that’s, uh, how it all started with him.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh, and do, you know, anything about, um, Andrew Aulin’s role as sort of an entrepreneur or stockholder—I think was the word. That I think he was involved in some entrepreneurial ventures with those people. I don’t know if you’ve heard anything about that.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, he probably was…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>I mean, because he was very much involved in the very beginning of Oviedo, and if you look at the land, uh, plats from that time, his name’s everywhere.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So I, um—that part though I don’t really know, but I…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Do know that once upon a time, he owned a lot of land in Oviedo, and then I think, by the time he passed, there—he had sold it or, uh—I know that my mother-in-law used to talk about, uh, there were boom times and not-boom times, and, uh, in the boom times, everybody had money and had high hopes, and then it would all crash, and—but that’s all throughout history. You know, they…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>That—early 1900s, and on, and in 1929, and then on and on, and so…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>People would have stuff and then they’d have nothing.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And—but, fortunately, back in those times, if you were a farmer, you could always grow your crop, but—as long as you didn’t have a dust bowl, like they did out West, and that kind of thing, but—yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Okay, um, and have you heard about anything in terms of Andrew Aulin, uh, growing citrus? Have you heard any…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Stuff about that? Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>He did. He grew, um,—he had orange groves, um, and I—he had, uh, different properties around. I know that on the, uh, south side of town, uh, he had properties, and then down—what we now call Downtown Oviedo, uh—I think he had properties down there that he grew not oranges on. I think it was, um, other kinds of crops. Uh, I’m thinking strawberries and celery. I don’t think celery was the big thing particularly, at that time. I think celery came along a little later, but, uh, yeah, uh, he did, and I—I that part—I’m sorry to tell ya—I haven’t ever delved into it, but I have always liked to hear the character stories, ya know?</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Yeah, um, and have you heard anything about him as a postmaster, beyond what you were saying? Have you heard any stories about that, or…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Nothing other than him naming the town.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, I don’t know how it came about that he was the first postmaster. Uh, I do know that, uh, prior to that, everybody got their mail from, um, White’s Wharf, but, uh, then I guess they decided they needed a post office in Oviedo.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh, great, and, uh, you mentioned earlier, uh, the Swedish background of the family. Um, do you know anything more about that?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, no, other than they’re from a place, um—it’s a big— it’s a big town in, uh, Ov—I mean Spain, uh—Sweden. Um, it’s right on the—the ocean. I, uh, don’t[?]—I have all this stuff at my house, because, um, I have sort of like a history, but I can’t think of it now. Uh, it’s called “getting old.”</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Did you say before Uppsala? [inaudible]…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, Uppsala was where he went to university.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh, okay. That was the university. [inaudible]…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Yes, he went to school there, and, um, I can’t think of the name of the town where he was born, but that’s as far back as, uh, we’ve been able to go in his genealogy is to that town. Um, it starts with an M. I can’t think of it, but anyway, uh, he—I think it was a relatively young age when he left Sweden. I mean, um, not as a child, but [inaudible] probably in his early, early 20s, and then he traveled, and I think he even lived for a time in, uh, Ohio, and then, um—but it wasn’t until he came to Oviedo that he met his wife,<a title="">[9]</a> who was a Lawton, and, uh, her, uh, family was one of the main fam—founding families of, uh, Oviedo.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, the Lawtons, uh, and Wheelers, and, uh, Aulins—they were sorta—and they sorta—and the Lees—the Lees also is another…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Name. Speaking of Lee, my mother-in-law, when she was a child, went with, uh, her uncle and her father on a, uh, river trip to Rockledge to get some—her uncle was the grocer. So they went on a skiff. She’s always called it that. I don’t know a skiff—from Lake Monroe to, uh, Rockledge, er, you know, by the coast, and, uh, I didn’t even know that the waterway would—would go that far, uh, on the St. Johns [River], but, um, back then, it did for sure, and she talked about how they camped on the way, and—but another person in their party was a gentleman named Thee Lee. I’m thinking his name was Theodore Lee. Uh, uh, I don’t know, but anyway, uh, we called him Thee Lee, and, um, he was a young man and he was—I guess knew her father or the uncle or somethin’. Anyway, he went on this trip with them and he would kill duck or whatever for their supper, and then she would always laugh and she says, “And then, 10 years or so later, I met him, because I was gonna marry his cousin.” So he was…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Andrew’s cousin.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, um—so I—I just thought that was so neat. She was just she had to be under 11 years old, because her father, uh, got killed on the railroad when she was, uh, 11. So she had to be pretty little kid when she went on that trip, but she remembered so much about them killing the geese and roasting them on the fire at night.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And isn’t that an adventure for an 11-year-old? I mean golly.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Yeah, wow.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, sounds so cool [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh, awesome. Yeah, and what else have you heard about the Lawtons, and, uh, Lona Lawton, and everybody?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, um, I just know that, uh, there was a Mr. Lawton, uh, here in Oviedo that, uh, when he—he found out that I was married to—and I worked in a bank—when he found out that I, uh, was married to an Aulin, uh, his wife would send me cookies every once in a while.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Aw.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And also Andy’s cousin’s wife lived there, uh—worked there, and so they were all—they were very kind to us, uh, just because of the relationship, I guess, and, um, I just thought that that was so cool that he would, uh—that she would do that, and now, I can’t remember which Lawton they were, because, uh, at that time, there was[sic] several older Lawtons living in Oviedo.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh—but that was so cool that he—that she would send us those cookies just because we were [<em>laughs</em>]…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Aulins. It was just this family ties, I guess, but, um, the—I’m trying to think of some of the—there was, um, a lot of Lawtons. Uh, I think there was like—it was of two different mothers, but there was like a bunch of ‘em. I—I’m wantin’ to say eight, or maybe even more than eight…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Children, and, um, so they, um, settled here in Oviedo, and then, uh, I’ve since learned that there’s some Lawtons of that same group that live up in, uh, Northwest Florida.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, I’ve been in contact with their, um, great-grandchildren, um, but, uh, they—they were big farmers, and, um—then also, I think they, uh, were teachers, and, uh, I know that, um, another one of my husband’s aunts was a teacher, and she, uh, married a gentleman and they lived out—and went out to live out in Texas, and that’s where the original Andrew Aulin died. He was in Texas. that’s where he’s buried—is in Texas, because he was living out there with his daughter, and, um—but yeah, they—I think they sort of have a—a legacy of teaching and farming.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm, yeah. Um, have you heard anything about, uh, Lona Lawton as—and her role as a switchboard operator after the [World] War [I]?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Lona Lawton?</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Or Alice Aulin?</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Um, I believe it was Lona Lawton that they mentioned in the book.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Nah, I…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Maybe.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>What war?</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Um, I said after World War—World War I?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, that would have had to have been Andy’s mother,</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh, okay.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Alice.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Mary Alice Aulin.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Because Lona Lawton…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Was, um, Andrew’s mother.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And she died before, um, Andy’s mother met him.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So I—she met him, um, around 1920.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Something like that.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Um, maybe twe—even ’22—something like that, ‘cause she was, uh—well, she was born in 1904, and, um, so she was only like 18 in ’22, so yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So Lona had—had died…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Ah.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Before then.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, and she, uh—I think way before then. I think in the early 1900s.<a title="">[10]</a> Uh, Andy’s father was the youngest child, and he was born in like 18-something.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh, okay.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Like, uh, 1893, I’m thinking—somewhere in that area.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So, yeah, she had been dead a long time.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm, mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Um, so it wasn’t her. It was Andy’s mother, and I don’t remember, um, I mean it was after World War I that she, uh, did that because, uh, she was like 18 when she started.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And then, at one point, uh, she got married and—but then, at a later time, they came and put the switchboard in her house.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Ah.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>They lived on Graham [Avenue].</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And then she ran it from there, and then, um, another time, when she lived on Myrtle Street, they’ve[sic] moved it there, and she—but she had the—it, like, blew up in her ear, or…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>I don’t know what you’d call it. Uh, it had a short somehow and it made her, uh, almost deaf in one ear from doing that, and that was—I think that was like in the ‘30s…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>When that happened.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>And have you heard anything about Andrew Aulin’s experience in World War I, uh, so [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Yes, I know that he was, um, uh—now, this is Andrew Aulin, Jr.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh, okay, sorry.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, Andy’s father—my husband’s father.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>He was, uh, in, um, France during World War I, and he was, um, gassed. He got injured, uh, or, you know, not wounded, but, uh, harmed or disabled, uh, somewhat, by having, uh, gas, because, you know, that was the war when they did the—did that. he was in the trenches, and one of the funny or odd things, I think, is, um, they don’t eat—eat potatoes very much in the Aulin family, uh, or that part of the Aulin family, because all he got to eat when he was, uh, overseas was potatoes, and he said he hoped he never saw another potato, so…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] Andy’s mother cooked rice every day, and, uh, when I got married, I cooked rice every day for many, many years, and then I finally taught my husband that, you know, life will go on without rice, so [<em>laughs</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>But, uh, rice was the big thing. They ate rice instead of potatoes, and another thing, because of his, uh, eating habits, or lack of, when he was over there, uh, he wouldn’t eat gravy that was white—you know, made with milk.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Because that was just—that’s all they got over there—was white gravy. Er, he thought it had no taste. So Mrs. Aulin—even if the gravy didn’t come out dark enough, she would put like instant coffee in it or somethin’ to make it dark.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] And that’s a good trick.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>It makes it taste better, if you just put a li’l coffee in it.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Huh [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>That’s one of the tricks I’ve learned from her, uh, but yeah. I don’t know of any, uh—I just know that he went over there, uh, and got more or less wounded, and, uh, that whole family, I think, is, uh, been in World War—his—my husband’s oldest—older brother<a title="">[11]</a> was in World War II and in the Korean War. My husband was in, uh, [the] Vietnam [War], and, um, so they’ve all, you know, served their country.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And I, uh, think that’s sorta something that most of the people in Oviedo did. I mean, there was a lot of people in Oviedo that, uh, served in World War II, and, uh, even some of the people that weren’t in the military, they served by, uh, manning the—they had a tower that they watched for…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Airplanes and what have you, like a civil defense kind of thing…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, I know that Andy’s sisters did some of that and the, uh, other girls in town, uh, volunteered to do that, and there was—the tower was downtown, uh, by the red light too…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>h huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>From what I understand. I think that’s where it was. Have to ask somebody who was here then, but I think that’s where it was from the stories...</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>They tell.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm, um, and you mentioned some of the founding families of Oviedo. What—is there anything else—any other stories you know about them, or, um—besides [inaudible]…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, I do know that, uh, it—I think this is sort of funny. Uh, When I came and I was living with Andy’s aunt and she would mention someone or I would mention someone, and she would say something like, “Oh, they’re one of the new people.”</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] And I would say, “Oh, when did—when did they come to Oviedo?” And she says, “Oh, I think they came in like the 20s.”</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] And—she—her family was the Jacobs, and they—her father settled on—at—at Lake Pickett…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Way back in the 1800s. Uh, his brother settled on Lake Mills.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And then his sister was married to, uh, a Kilby, I think, and they settled in, um, Geneva on Lake Harney.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So it—out of the same family, they all settled on lakes, and then Aunt Nettie married, uh, an Aulin, and so she was like from first—a first family of two different places, and, uh, she used to say—and not only she—when I would first come to Oviedo and I’d be like at my grandmother’s, somebody would say, uh, “Oh, we’d better get back to Oviedo before the creek rises,” or if you were in Oviedo, uh, they would say, “Well, we’d better get back to Chuluota before the creek rises,” and Aunt Nettie explained to me what that was—is that once upon a time there was a—a low bridge, where the regular bridge is going from Oviedo to Chuluota, but it was a low bridge, and if the water got high, you couldn’t go across it, because you couldn’t see the bridge, and, uh, so it was true that if it was raining or something like that and the bridge got overflowed, then you were stuck. You had to…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] stay there. So that’s why they said that. They—and they still say it as far as I know, to this day, “If, you know—if the creek rises, we’d better,” just as a sort of joke or whatever, and, um, I [<em>laughs</em>] always thought that—well, I liked it when I found out what it—what it meant, and there was something else I was gonna tell you around those lines, but, um, every little town has its—its little sayings, and funny things, and, um—but I can’t think of what else I was gonna tell you. Anyway…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh [<em>laughs</em>]. So tell me about, um, you mentioned some of the artifacts that you had, um, so tell me a little bit about what those were or if you have any stories about them.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, I don’t really have any artifacts. I have some copies of things that…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, have been handed to me, because of my interest in genealogy.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, I have, uh, copies of some pages out of a Lawton, uh, Bible that, uh—these people I’ve met in Northwest Florida—and it has, of course, the names of people that were here, you know, like, uh, Lona, and Narcissa [Melissa Lawton], and those, um, Lawtons, and, um, then I have, uh, different, you know, writings, and newspaper clippings, and, um, things like that. I had some, um, things that belonged to my husband’s, um, father, but I sent them to, uh—or had his grandmother send them—send them to her son—her grandson in Tennessee, because he was interested in that stuff…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And not many people, you know, really are, and so…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>I thought that would be a good thing for him to have, but as far as, uh, actual hold-it-in-your-hand kind of thing, other than copies and—and writings, I don’t— I don’t really have anything.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh, and what were some of the things that were sent? what were some of the, um…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, well, I’ve got, uh—we have a copy of, uh, Nar—Narcissa’s diary.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>A portion of it that she did</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>In World War…</p>
<p>[<em>child cries</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>I mean in the Civil War.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, and that’s very interesting.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And I mean it really takes you back in—in time.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And there—one of the things she writes about is, uh, having to make, uh, shoes for, uh, some of the people that worked there, and she didn’t—obviously, they were slaves, but she didn’t call them that.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>It was “our people,” you know?</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And she had to make them some shoes, and, uh, she talked about the war, and, she, you know—she heard bad news that would come down from Virginia, and she was in, uh—right outside Thomasville, Georgia, is where they lived at that time.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, it’s really, really a treasure having—having that, uh, but it’s, uh, a copy of it, and it’s, uh—I don’t even know who’s got the original. Oh, I do. I[?] happen to be—the original, uh, got washed away in a flood they had out in Texas, where…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Where it was—where it was kept, uh, which is regrettable, ‘cause, I mean, now it’s gone, but fortunately, we all have—or not all of us—but a lot of us have copies of it.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Wow[?].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So that’s really, really another treasure.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, then I have these like—I think I had already told you—these copies of that—pages out of that Bible, where they note the family happenings—you know, deaths, births—that kind of thing—weddings, Um, and like—like I said, the Steen, uh, Nelson letter. I’ve got, I think, probably, uh, all the books and things that were written, and—and I have treasures from the, um, centennial, and newspaper clippings, and things like that.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Awesome, very cool. Um, so are there any other stories that you want to share about—in general, that you’ve been thinking about? Um…</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, I, you know—I can sit here and tell you stories, uh, about, uh, my mother-in-law [inaudible], but I don’t know if they would have any interest to, um—I mean, it’s just—you would just be interested if you were her granddaughter or something like that, you know? It’s just sorta family things.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>But, um, Aunt Nettie, uh, as I said, you know—she—her husband was the one they called “The Judge.” he was the Justice of the Peace, and, um, she, um, also had, uh—it wasn’t a boarding house, but she had extra rooms in her house, and there was a time when the railroad people were working here or whatever, uh, and, you know, Oviedo used to be really busy with all of the fruit, vegetables being shipped in and outta here—or being shipped out of here.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, um, so she would, um, let out a room to these people that work for the railroad, and, uh, she used to tell me little saying—like one of ‘em would, uh, put cheese in his coffee, and [<em>laughs</em>]…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>I’ve never heard of that before, and then she would always say, uh—she was a swe—sweet, old lady. She was so precious, and she would say, uh, “Nadine, you want some cheese in your coffee?” I said, “No, Aunt Nettie. I don’t want any cheese in my coffee.”</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>That’s what the man would say. He would say…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>“I want some cheese for her coffee.” [<em>laughs</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Just little stories like that…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>You know, that doesn’t mean anything to anybody, but…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Just, uh, you had to know the people. You had to be there, you know, sort of thing. So…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh, great, and, um, so do you have any last words about maybe what impact that your relatives and—have had in the town in the early history or just any other thoughts about Oviedo’s history in general?</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Well, I [inaudible]—I think that Oviedo has a, uh—a good history, you know? You don’t really think of too many bad things happening in Oviedo. I don’t know—don’t know that I recall anything bad. I did[?]—I know that there’s been some, uh—there used to be a prison camp out on the way to Winter Park, on that road.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, I think there was an escape, uh—escape there, and I think, uh, that’s when Mr. John Courier[sp] got hurt. Now, this you’re gonna have to talk to other people about, because I don’t really know, but I do know that there’s been things like that that have happened…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>That are tragic.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>But, um, I—I don’t know any firsthand information about that, and—but as far as Oviedo is concerned, I think that, uh, like I said in the beginning, the—the churches is[sic] what it was all based on, and I think pretty much, it still has that, uh, heritage, that rock, that—that keeps it sorta held together, and I think all that’s important. Uh, we have a lot more churches now than just the Methodist and the Baptist.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And, uh, the, uh, church that’s, uh, mainly black people on the, uh, way out of town…</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Uh, I think that’s been there for years and years and years and years, and, uh, I noticed the other day, it’s growing like gangbusters, just like the other churches.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>And that’s really great, and that’s really a good foundation, and I think that they’ve—we’ve maintained that foundation.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Uh huh.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>So that’s a good thing.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>Great, alright. Well, thank you so much for talking with us. this was really helpful.</p>
<p><strong>Aulin<br /></strong>Oh, well, thank you. I hope that it was. I, uh, enjoyed it. Sorta nice bringing those memories back. Sorry I couldn’t remember some things.</p>
<p><strong>Schneider<br /></strong>No, no. It’s—that’s great.</p>

Transcript
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>This is the oral history interview of Ingrid Bryant, and the interview is being conducted on March 21<sup>st</sup>, 2015, by Erin Montgomery at the interviewee’s home in Oviedo, Florida, and The topics of this interview will include Oviedo history and, uh, Central Florida history. I also I just want to let you know that I’m gonna to be, um, as quiet as I can, um, not to be rude, or not to risk[?]—like…</p>
<p><strong>Bryant</strong> <br />I know.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>Uh, but to just, uh, keep the audio, um, clear—I guess is the—the idea, um—and less noisy. So do you have any questions before I start asking you questions?</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Not really.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>Okay, alright. So, um, where were you born?</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>I was born in Munich, Germany, on February 21<sup>st</sup>, 1944, in the height of the Second World War. My mother married an American soldier in 1955, who brought my brother and I—my brother Norbert and myself and my mom to America. They—he was with the [U.S.] Air Force. he was stationed at Pinecastle Air Force Base,<a title="">[1]</a> which is now the jetport that we have for—that was the Air Force Base, and, uh, we went to school in Orlando—Cherokee Junior High School—my brother and I.</p>
<p>I, unfortunately, never applied myself to learn English. It—it wasn’t really offered in Germany in those days yet, and so I came here not speaking English. My grandmother told me that if I didn’t like America, that I have to give it a year, but she’ll send me a plane ticket—no, not a plane ticket. She hated planes. A—a boat ticket to come back to Germany. Well, I arrived in America, stepped on American soil on January 3, 1958. So I said<em>, Well, you know, grandma’s gonna get me back home, so I don’t really need to stay here</em>, because the children can be quite—not so understanding about anything that’s different than what they’re used to. So I was being made fun of ver—uh, very badly and it hurt my feelings, ‘cause I was[sic] always wanted—wanted to fit in. That didn’t happen in Orlando, and they—they really didn’t know what to do with me, ‘cause there were no ESOL [English as a Second Language] lessons. So here’s my year: uh, we get a, uh, telegram December 15<sup>th</sup> that my grandmother had passed. so there went my chance at ever getting back to Germany. So I said, <em>Well, Ingrid, got to make the best of a bad situation</em>, and my mom, in the meantime, knowing my difficulties, she found this place called Oviedo.</p>
<p>Now, my gen—and she was told they had a good school there. Mind you: I come from Munich, Germany, which at that point, in 1958, had a population of one million people. So it was already culture shock coming to Orlando, ‘cause it was quite small and, of course, no circus, no opera, no nothing[sic] like that, but we already had that, because the American Marshall Plan,<a title="">[2]</a> that was in place after the war, had helped rebuild Germany, and I am eternally grateful to not only to my American soldiers, but to the American people that[sic] sent care packages over there, and get—I had clothes, and the American soldiers—they shared their food with us—their rations—and I had my first Juicy Fruit gum and so forth, when I was a little girl, but—o we come to Chuluota, which at that time, was a development that—that just had started up it and was low-income housing, more or less, but it was, you know—there were nice houses, and my mom found one that she said, “Well, we’ll move here, then you can go to school in Oviedo.”</p>
<p>I went to Oviedo High School, and, uh, it was completely like night and day. They accepted me, and my English teacher—she told me, “When you graduate from Oviedo High School, you will be speaking English.” I said, <em>Yeah, right</em>, and, uh,my math teacher let me do my math wor—you know, the way I worked my problems the way I was taught in Germany. She said as long as I worked the problem—Ms. Deshaso[sp]—then—and I have the right answer, then she would accept that, so that worked. My history teacher—God bless him. He was also the coach of Oviedo High School, and he—He was the most patriotic man you would ever wanna meet, and he instilled the love of America to me. I already knew America was special, however, the way he taught history—and in 1960— was the first year that we had Americanism vs. communism. They brought in an ol’ TV, like we used to have—black and white—and we had an hour of that a week, and I said, <em>Oh, my goodness</em>, you know, with this—and then Sputnik and all of that happened right about that time.</p>
<p>I managed to get a command of the English language, and yes, I graduated from Oviedo High Schools[sic], and I learned English, and then, I wanted to become an American citizen. So I went to Coach [Paul] Mikler—they named the—the baseball field after him in Oviedo. I went to him and I said “Coach, I want to become a citizen. What do I do?” He said, “Just do it.”</p>
<p>So in 1967, I became an American citizen. I was given a booklet to read, that I read from cover to cover, memorized whatever I could, and when I got there to the George C., um, Young [Federal], uh, Courthouse, which is now the Diocese of Orlando in Orlando. They bought that building. I went there and I thought, <em>Oh, boy. I am good to go</em>, and I get to the examiner and she asks me three questions: Who is the first president? Who is the president now? And what are the first two—Ten Amendments to the [U.S.] Constitution? And I said, “Now what?” She says, “That’s good.” she says, “good.” I[sic] says, “I know you can write English.” I say “Yeah, but is that all your asking me when I memorized that whole book?” She says “That’s all I need you to do. You know what you’re doing,” and so I became an American citizen in September, and then I—I had gotten—no let me backtrack.</p>
<p>My brother, Norbert, that came to—from Germany with me—he was a year younger than me. that’s him up there, and, uh, He, uh—he, uh, kind of excelled, because he went to the accelerated schools in Germany that we start—we’re at fourth grade, and they test us, and then we are separated to go to über die Realschule, which he did, but, of course, his silly sister that was older than him didn’t measure up. So he—he did not have the difficulty learning English like I did. He had one of those photographic minds. He could just—but when I came to Oviedo, there was one—another culture shock waiting for me. I had to repeat the ninth grade, which put me in the same grade as my brother, which at the time was a big help to me, but was also not what I wanted.</p>
<p>1963, I graduated with my brother on June 10<sup>th</sup>. July—I mean June 23<sup>rd</sup>, I married an Oviedo boy. July 16<sup>th</sup>, my brother Norbert was killed in a car accident. it was an accident. So he’s buried at the Oviedo Cemetery. So that was very difficult, very difficult, ‘til this day, I miss my brother, but from the marriage I had from my first husband, I have three children: Christopher, Patricia, and Tina—Christina. I had to name her after her brother, because he wanted a brother and she had turned out to be a sister. so he got a sister named after him. Then I—I had a little difficulty with my first husband when I wanted to name our first child, which was Christopher, after my brother, Norbert. He wouldn’t—he didn’t want me to do that. So I didn’t.</p>
<p>Then, I married my second husband, after that marriage didn’t make it, and his name was Norbert. He was German like me. I said “God, you have a sense of humor, don’t you?” I was 35 years old. I end up pregnant, and I have my little Norbert. He’s now 35 years old. So that worked out to my favor too. From my four children, I now have nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, which I’m a very blessed lady.</p>
<p>My other thing that—Oviedo has been holy ground to me. They’ve been good to me. When I wanted a job, they had an, uh—they needed a customer service rep]resentative for the City of Oviedo. This was in 1986. At that time, they hired me for the water department to collect the monies and do—be accounts receivable, so to speak. I was good at math, and, uh—so I went to work and my boss interviewed me—A. M. Jones. They named the water plant after him, and he says, “Mrs. Ingrid, why would you wanna work in Oviedo? You’re never going to make any money here.” I said, “Because I want to give back.” I said, “You’re going to pay me a living.” I said, “I want to give back. You—Oviedo taught me English. Oviedo took me in, and made me feel very special.” So he hired me and I retired there in 2004.</p>
<p>At that point, all along, when we came from Germany, there was never a Catholic church in Oviedo, and my mom—he wrote the Vatican in the early [19]60s, and they gave us a priest to come out and say Mass in Chuluota at the [Chuluota] Sportsman Club—it was called—which is now the Girl Scout [Citrus] Camp in Chuluota. So she managed to do that. When they decide—and the developer of Chuluota gave us seven acres so we could build a church and a school, and that was back in the early ‘60s. So the Diocese of St. Augustine, which was—we were under, at that point. the Orlando Diocese wasn’t established ‘til 1968. Bishop Joseph Patrick Hurley decided to build St. Joseph’s [Catholic Church] in Union Park first, and he said we would be next. Well, that didn’t happen.</p>
<p>So I kept—when we came to Diocese of Orlando, I decided to go on a writing campaign. I like to write letters, and, uh, I would ask the bishops, you know, “Can we have a Catholic church in Oviedo?” And I’d get letters back saying—they couldn’t say we didn’t have any property, because we did—Chuluota-Oviedo. To me, it’s about the same, and so they told me, “We have no priest.” so—okay. I bought off on that. So 1996 comes along, and my mom passes away, and on her—she’s 71, and on her deathbed, she said to me, “Ingrid, you still don’t have that Catholic church.” I said “Mom, I been trying.” She said, “Try harder.” About the same time, this doctor comes into my office, who moved into Oviedo. No, actually, he came earlier. Let me back track. He came in earlier, and I noticed his name was Carlos Velez-Munich. I said, <em>Munich? Dear Lord. Is this another sign? Just like my little Norbert that I managed to come—that came—that I wanted.</em></p>
<p>So 1996, I had this lady, Anna Marcantoni[sp]—she used to help me file at the city, because I was busy collecting money, making sure the right accounts were hit in the—in the systems and so forth and so on, and so she would come in and she’d file my applications for me, and she says, Ingrid, “Spanish community wants a Catholic church in Oviedo too.” I said, “They do?” She says, “Yeah, we have formed a—a group called Grupo Shalom.” I said, “well, get me in touch with whoever is in charge of that.” I said, “I need to talk to them. I said, “I’ve been trying forever to get this church and my mom said I’d better work harder.”</p>
<p>So I got to meet Dr. Velez, and they had a meeting, and he got us an appointment with the—with, uh, Father [Richard] Walsh, in St. Margaret Mary [Catholic Church] in Winter Park. He got us a—an appointment with—you’re not going to believe what bishop that was—Bishop Norbert [Mary Leonard James] Dorsey. So that is what started the—getting Most Precious Blood Catholic Church. So there was a standing joke in the [Oviedo] City Hall that if Ingrid ever gets her church, she can address the property. So I just came back from Barbados with my aunt, and, uh, my friend called me and she said, “Ingrid, you have to”—Laura Feldman, and she’s Jewish, mind ya. I’m Catholic. She says, “Ingrid, you have to come down here. Diocese wants an address for this property, and I can’t move until you come and do it.” So I addressed the property: 113 Lockwood Boulevard, and so then we had our first Mass on the 24<sup>th</sup> of April, 2005, which we’re now having our anniversary—for 10 year anniversary. Unbelievable. Un—incredible what this town has meant to me, along with everything goes along with it. So I consider myself blessed. Now, my passion was getting the church, which I succeeded.</p>
<p>My other passion is getting a museum in Oviedo. We had—I—I love the [Oviedo] Historical Society, and I’ve always been involved in history,’ cause in Germany, history has always been right to the forefront. I mean—we try not to let history repeat itself over there, but it did with two world wars, but again—so I’ve been on a kind of a mission—sort of wanting this museum, and when Mrs. Clara [Lee Wheeler] Evans made a bequest of an acre property on Oviedo Street for the historical society to have—because I felt we were the little red-headed stepchild.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Child—children, because we never had a place to meet. So we would go from this church to that church, to here, there and yonder, you know, and so she made that bequest. Well, unfortunately that was—she passed away, and that was kind of passed over by the City, buying the old [Geneva] Post Office building that’s on Geneva Drive to make a senior center. So I was just a little bit taken aback by that, because when I questioned her one time, I said, “Well, you know we do need someplace,” and she says, “Are you doubting my word? I told you we’d get an acre of property,” but that didn’t come to fruition evidently, because the—it’s an off-trade now for the post office, which, uh, her family sold to the city for $400,000. I was upset with that, because I’ve been here forever, I knew how—when it was built, and I just—I—I’m just, you know, I don’t understand this at all, but evidently the City and the powers that be in the historical society decided to make that happen.</p>
<p>Now, it hasn’t evolved to what it’s supposed to be, because I do believe they have now put the new downtown of Oviedo—south of Oviedo—on the forefront, which I personally have to agree to disagree with the [Oviedo City] Council and with the Mayor [of Oviedo]<a title="">[3]</a> for doing that. Reason being: there was[sic] only two defined downtowns in Seminole County. One is Sanford. One was Oviedo. So I know the road is going to be cut through, but I thought maybe they would do what Sanford did and embellish what they had and work with that, rather than spend all this money with a new downtown that I, uh—I’m—I don’t understand. Let’s put it that way. I do not understand the logic behind this.</p>
<p>I do know that we put down waterlines in 1968. I do know the infrastructure of Oviedo, to me, is of the utmost importance, and I’m—I’m worried about things maybe I shouldn’t be, uh, but I worked for the city and I love this city with my whole heart. Always have, always will. These are two issues that I’m not comfortable with. I love the people, and when I was a customer service representative and Oviedo had this explosion of growth, I always told my cli—my people that came in and signed up for water, “I need you to do me one favor, and that is to blend in. Oviedo is a wonderful place, you don’t try to change Oviedo. Oviedo is fine,” and I tell them, “Don’t let the overalls fool you in Oviedo either.” That is a standing joke I’ve had forever, but again, all in all, big picture—as I try to look at in my whole life is the big picture—it’s a great place for families, it’s a great place for everybody. it was a great place and still is for me. I’ve al—I—I’m totally in love with Oviedo, and I want everybody to love it as I do and do what’s best for everything, but, mm [<em>sighs</em>] I guess when UCF came in…</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>I was there. I was there. I lived south of Oviedo, and the Attamoochee[sp] site was the site they built the university on—had three buildings. It was—it was something to behold, and that was in 196—they didn’t build it in 1963, but they made it happen in 1963, the year I graduated. So I have a daughter that graduated from UCF [University of Central Florida], I have a son in-law that graduated from UCF, I have a daughter in-law that graduated from UCF.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>And it goes on and on and on, and I am one happy girl, and the school has made me so proud, because you—I mean it was FTU—Florida Technical University,<a title="">[4]</a> and now, as it’s almost—I do believe the second—third—second most populated school in U—United States. So that’s something to be proud of—for them being, uh, right there by Oviedo. Oviedo is special, and hopefully and prayerfully, after my life is done it’ll continue to go on, and please remember always: blend into Oviedo. Don’t try to change it please.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>Uh, what was your favorite part about growing up here in Oviedo? Did you have a favorite to go when you were in high school, or…</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Oh, we had a teen club.</p>
<p>[<em>phone rings</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>We had a teen club in Oviedo. [inaudible]. Just…</p>
<p>[<em>phone rings</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Pick up the thing and turn it…</p>
<p>[<em>phone rings</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Just…</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Just the…</p>
<p>[<em>phone rings</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>There—there you go. Okay. Sor—sorry about that.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] Don’t worry about that [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>What was my favorite place in Oviedo?<br />[<em>phone rings</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Was the teen club we created out in Chuluota, and I, as a non-citizen, became president of that [inaudible] [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Of that teen club. We had dances on Saturday nights, and as far as—Oviedo had one thing that I can call to mind, at that time. You have to understand we were very small, and we had a swimming pool, and every Tuesday, we would go down on Magnolia Avenue in Oviedo, and Tuesday night, we would have a teen night there, and we would dance and swim and do whatever kids do. Yes, that was it, and, uh, they did, however, close that swimming pool down, so it’s not there anymore. I think it’s a tennis court now, and, uh, we had one grocery store, the Country Quick.</p>
<p>The one thing I would like for Oviedo to get again that I know us old people would probably need, because you guys are so techy with your Facebook and all…</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>And Miss Ingrid don’t do Facebook, because I’m from Germany, and I think to myself, <em>My God, this is a double-edged sword</em>. It’s too much information, and it can be used very badly. So the one thing that I would like to have Oviedo have again is a newspaper. Our newspapers are all gone, so it’s hard and difficult for the older people to find out what’s going on, just like last weekend, the Taste of Oviedo. I mean—it was well represented, however, not advertised in the paper. I get <em>The Orlando Sentinel</em>, but we get bits and pieces, but I love <em>The Seminole Chronicle</em>. That gave information that was pertinent to our area, what we had going on here, and I feel with 35,000-plus people, please, somebody do us another newspaper. Larry Neely had his newspaper back in the ‘60s, and it was called <em>The Outlook</em>,and then it became <em>The Oviedo Voice</em>, and I think <em>The Oviedo Voice</em> is—is in existence, but from what I understand, when taking to the Mayor, they’re all struggling right now, even <em>The Orlando Sentinel</em>. So—and I’ve read that forever, but that’s the one thing I would like them to have.</p>
<p>We’re getting the hospital, which is a good thing. I am so happy. I—I’ve prayed about that, and things are evolving, and maybe the new downtown is thought by somebody, you know, that might know better than I do, but I just thought that the old was quaint and was what Oviedo was. More so than the apartment buildings that I see going up. I question that. Why—and the Albertsons across the street—but I don’t want to complain. It will all work itself out, Hopefully—prayerfully.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>So—but the museum—I still want a museum. I do, and maybe—hey, I got a Catholic church after 40 years of praying [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>It might happen.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>It just might happen. Maybe not in my lifetime, but other people’s. Are there any other question that you have?</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>Um, is there anything else that you miss about Oviedo from your youth?</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>From my youth?</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>Yes, anything [inaudible]…</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Knowing everybody in town.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Knowing every car that went by my house, knowing that if my—if it rained outside and the laundry was on my clothesline, somebody’d come in and put it in my house. We didn’t have locked doors. We had so much going. everybody—it was just a different life that, right now, it—that’s passing, but the only thing I would get mad at back then—when somebody would take my laundry back in from outside because it rained—my neighbor mostly—is that she didn’t fold it [<em>laughs</em>]. That—yeah, I miss the—I miss the closeness of the people, you know, anymore. it’s—I still have lots of friends here, because I had a position in the City where people knew me, and so I—I—I treasure my customers.</p>
<p>I do, and I—if it—if I woulda worked longer—but I was getting con—conflicts with trying to this Catholic church—mixing church and state. That just didn’t go over so well. Especially, when I’d ask people when they came to Oviedo, I said “What church do you go to?” And say “Well, we go to Catholic church,” and I would tell them—I said, “Well, we don’t have one yet, but if you help me pray, we’re gonna get one soon,” and [<em>laughs</em>] I don’t think that’s something you should do. So I guess I’m not the politically correct person…</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>You want as a customer service person anymore, but these are things that, you know—yeah, but I love Oviedo. In spite of everything, I love Oviedo, and love my police chief<a title="">[5]</a> too, because he helped me catch a criminal that burglarized this house, and, uh, we caught her. I—like I said, I love Oviedo—period—and I want what’s best for Oviedo, and I want it to go on and on and on and be the success that it is, and who knows? Someday, it will be as big as Munich.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>One million population, which will make me happy [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Maybe not anybody else, but me, ‘cause[?] I’ve always been a city girl.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>So why did you choose to stay in Oviedo your whole life?</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Why did I choose?</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Why would I not?</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>I go to Germany pretty much every year to see my relatives over there that I have, and—but Oviedo’s my home, and I have, eh—everything that I have built up is Oviedo. So, yeah, I’ve stayed.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>Is there anything else you want to say or talk about before we end?</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>I just keep my Oviedo as special as it—as it’s always been, and maybe, if there’s—if by some chance, we could get a museum [<em>laughs</em>] to where people in the future know that we were the celery capital of the world, and all the people, the backbone of the community that has already passed on, the people that I miss dearly, especially Clara Evans, uh—yeah, keep it going and—and build a museum, and life would be good.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>All right, the—those were all the questions that I had for you. So…</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>Thank you, dear. [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>Yeah, thank you so much.</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>You’re welcome.</p>
<p><strong>Montgomery<br /></strong>I really, really do appreciate you doing this. So thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Bryant<br /></strong>I appreciate doing this with you and thank you for come—for coming again.</p>

Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
Florida was first inhabited by Paleo-Indians as early as 14,000 years ago. By the 16th century, several distinct Native American tribes inhabited present-day Florida, primarily the Apalachee of the Panhandle, the Timucua of North and Central Florida), the Ais of the Central Atlantic Coast, the Tocobaga of the Tampa Bay area, the Calusa of Southwest Florida, and the Tequesta of the Southeast Florida.
In 1513, Juan Ponce de León of Spain became the earliest known European explorer to arrive in Florida. During the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, Spanish, French, and English pioneers settled various parts of the states, though not all settlement were successful. Most of the region was owned by Spain, until it was ceded to the United States via the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819. On March 3, 1845, Florida earned statehood. Florida was marred by nearly constant warfare with the Native Americans in the region, particularly with the Seminoles during the Seminole Wars.
On January 10, 1861, Florida seceded from the Union and joined the Confederate States of American on January 20th. The state's participation in the Civil War revolved mostly around the transportation of goods via ships.
On June 25, 1868, Florida regained its representation in Congress. During the Reconstruction period, Florida drafted a new state constitution, which included statues that effectively disenfranchised its African-American citizens, as well as many poor white citizens.
Through much of its early history, Florida's economy relied heavily upon agriculture, especially citrus, cattle, sugarcane, tomatoes, and strawberries. Florida's tourism industry developed greatly with the economic prosperity of the 1920s. However, this was halted by devastating hurricanes in the second half of the decade, the Wall Street Crash of 1929, and the Great Depression. The economy would not fully recover until manufacturing was stimulated by World War II. As of 2014, Florida was the third most populous state in the country.

Description
"To Attract, Retain and Grow: The History of the Florida High Tech Corridor Council" is a paper by Dr. Connie L. Lester and Dr. James C. Clark of the University of Central Florida (UCF). Dr. Lester is an Associate Professor of History concentrating in the Modern South, as well as agricultural, environmental, and economic history. She is also the Program Director of RICHES of Central Florida and Editor of <em>Florida Historical Quarterly</em>. A Lecturer of History, Dr. Clark's concentration is on Florida history, the American South, and presidential history. "To Attract, Retain and Grow" focuses on the history of the Florida High Tech Corridor Council (FHTCC), which an economic development initiative whose mission is to foster the high technology industry in Florida's High Tech Corridor, spanning 23 counties with rich industries in aerospace engineering, modeling and simulation, optics and photonics, digital media, and medical technologies. The council consists of the UCF in Orlando, the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, and the University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville. In 1966, the Florida Legislature passed an act founding the FHTCC to support the 21-county service areas of UCF and USF. Its original mission was to expand research and educational partnerships in order to retain the Cirent Semiconductor water fabrication facility located in Orlando, Florida. In 1997, the development of all technology industries across Central Florida was added to the FHTCC's mission. UF joined the partnership in 2005.
Abstract
This scientific study, conducted by the University of Central Florida’s history department, looks at the factors that contributed to the growth of the innovative technology clusters of Florida’s High Tech Corridor.
