Description
Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District Long-Range Program for 1975. The organization began in 1948 with a goal to assist in agricultural interests. Over the years, the Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District began to also concentrate on the development and management of recreational enterprises. Their interests also entailed inventory and evaluations for land uses and solving issues concerning soil and water resources. In the 1975 Long-Range Program, J.A. Hopkins states that the purpose of the Long-Range Program is to identify present and future needs and opportunities for the conservation and development of natural resources within Seminole County, Florida. The Long-Range Program serves as a practical guide for the planning and accomplishments of work by the District, its cooperators, and all agencies whose assistance is enlisted. The 31 page program outlines what needs to be done, how the work should be carried out, and when the objectives and goals within are expected to be accomplished. The program is a framework for assistance to communities, watersheds, regions, and governmental units in planning and carrying out a wide variety of resource developments during 1975. The program discusses conservation, and the development of land. The program goes on to discuss the recent shift from agricultural use of land to other uses. Population growth is described in detail due to the challenges agricultural producers face as a result of population increase and urbanization.

Transcript
Maitland invites you!
Come! Live with us –
And laugh and work and play,
‘Midst oranges and blossoms,
And sunshine every day.
HISTORY
Site of Captain Maitland’s old ort built in the days of the
Indian Wards.
Settled some fifty years ago by a group of people who were
so impressed by its charming and unusual natural scenery
that no desire was felt to look further.
Orange County has not been damaged by tropical storms
within the memory of oldest inhabitants.
LOCATION
In Orange County, bordering the shores of the beautiful
lake which bears its name.
on the Black Bear Trail, State Highway No. 3, four miles
north of Orlando (population, 31,000), considered one
of the most up-to-date and progressive cities of Florida,
and sixteen miles south of Sanford (population, 20,000),
the heart of the celery belt and head of navigation on the
St. Johns River.
On main line of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad between
Jacksonville and Tampa.
Geographically, almost the center of the State.
Within easy distance of both East and West Coasts.
On the north shore of Lake Maitland, one of a group of
lakes connected by enchanting natural canals, giving
Access to three large hotels, and providing boating around
thirty miles of shore line.
DESCRIPTIVE AND RESIDENTIAL FEATURES
A now rapidly growing town of some 600 inhabitants.
Surrounded by and intermingled with 14 clear-water lakes.
Almost constant summer breezes, making a delightful sum-
mer temperature.
Paved streets shaded by majestic oaks festooned with Spanish
Moss.
Large estates with wealth of tropical scenery.
All the advantages of country life combined with city con-
veniences.
Congenial neighbors.
Reasonable land prices.
Moderate living expenses.
Attractive home sites.
Well-equipped public library, churches of several denom-
inations.
State bank, restaurants, garages and stores.
Progressive town government.
Fire company with automobile equipment.
Town-planning and zoning commission under supervision
of efficient engineer.
Close proximity to Orlando with its large and well-stocked
department stores, high-class hotels and theatres.
EDUCATIONAL
New public school with modern
methods and equipment.
One of the best high schools in
the State, only two miles
away at Winter Park, is avail-
able for Maitland residents.
Rollins College, Florida’s old-
est institution of higher learn-
ing, and one of the best small
colleges in the country, is also
located at Winter Park.
INDUSTRIAL
Four incoming and three out-
going mails daily.
Forty-five miles of R.F.D.
Routes from Maitland post-
office.
Postal receipts increased 45 per cent in 1926 over 1925.
Bus lines to all parts of State make regular schedules every day.
Finest type of soil for citrus culture.
150,000 boxes of citrus fruit produced in 1925-26.
Near distributive points.
Plenty of good truck land.
Local markets never overstocked with fresh vegetables.
In midst of poultry raising center, which includes Orange
and Seminole counties.
Active Poultry Association assure cooperative buying and
marketing.
Land and climatic conditions particularly adaptable to fern
growing, a new and most remunerative industry.
RECREATION
Numerous lakes provide the best of fishing, bathing and
boating.
Excellent hunting, both for large and small game, immedi-
atley at hand.
Within two miles of one of the finest golf courses in the
State.
Long stretches of well-paved road, unhampered by excessive
traffic, making motoring a pleasure, and bringing distant
places within easy reach.
Two hours from Daytona Beach where the finest of ocean
bathing and fishing is to be had, in addition to the un-
paralleled drive of 28 miles directly on the beach itself.
Near Winter Park with its many clubs, moving pictures,
and radio broadcasting station; and Orlando where may
be found several modern theaters, a large Y.M.C.A.
building, Coliseum and Auditorium.
Twelve miles from Lake Apopka, one of the largest bodies
of fresh water in the country and admirably equipped
with facilities for camping and fishing.
Other points of interest within a day’s trip are Tampa,
the Gandy Bridge, St. Peters-
burg and the Gulf of Mexico,
Silver Springs, noted for
their beauty and remarkably
clear water, and St. Augus-
tine, the oldest city in the United States.
FUTURE
The future of Maitland, due to its
admirable location, is definitely assured.
Situated, as it is, upon one of the prin-
cipal traffic arteries of Florida, it lies directly in the path of
development, the trend of which is now plainly northward
from Orlando. According to the present plan of the pro-
posed Black Bear Trail, running from Montreal, Canada,
to St. Petersburg, Florida, Maitland is the only town be-
tween Sandford and Orlando to be on that highway. Orlando,
in order to provide for its remarkably rapid growth and ex-
pansion, must increasingly acquire additional territory, and
It is only reasonable to predict that Maitland, with its beauty-
ful grouping of lakes and other scenic features, is destined
Within a short time to become the exclusive residential sec-
tion of the parent city. With this thought in mind the pres-
ent town administration has taken steps to plan the develop-
ment and growth of the town along lines calculated to most
nearly approach an ideal blending of the practical and the
artistic.

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

Transcript
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>My name is Stephanie Youngers. Today is September 23<sup>rd</sup>, 2010. And I am interviewing Mr. Cecil [A.] Tucker [II], here at the Museum of Seminole County History. Mr. Tucker, how are you?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>I’m doing great.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Good. We’ll start with where and when you were born, if you’re willing to give us that information.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes. I was born actually in Brevard County in Rockledge. May 26<sup>th</sup>, 1931. And we lived in Rockledge—my mother and dad and I—for just a few weeks. My dad was working for the state and the tick eradication and his job as a range rider was over in east Orange County. So he moved us to Bithlo. And so, I was in—actually, he was already working for the state and headquartered out of Bithlo when I was born. My mother went over to Cocoa, to where there was some of the family, to help when I was being born.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>We lived in Bithlo for about six months. And then we moved to Christmas.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>And that’s another story.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And is that where you live now, is in Christmas?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes. Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Okay. How—how was it growing up there? Obviously different from today, but…</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>You know, Christmas is a kind of unique community. In a lot of respects, there’s some areas of it—we live a lot different today than it was when I was growing up, primarily because the people worked real hard to keep it that way and not let influence come in.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>That’s good.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>But the community is—always had a—it’s a real close-knit community. And people pretty much look after each other, and help each other out. And the [Fort Christmas] Historical Park in Christmas is helping to preserve some of this kind of history.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And like, we talked about the Cracker Christmas, and that’s one of the main events out there.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And I know a lot of people don’t hardly go to Christmas, but during that time of year, you’ll find a lot more people out there.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Cracker Christmas is always the first weekend in December. That also is the time that we have the tree-lighting and carol singing. We have decorated a Christmas tree. A large, living Florida red cedar. We’ve decorated it every year since 1952.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>And we have the carol singing and tree-lighting. Tree-lighting and carol singing, always the first Sunday in December every year. So Cracker Christmas—that weekend involves usually the tree-lighting and carol singing, as well as what’s going on at the fort.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And is it like crafts and things at the fort?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes, at the fort. Crafts and—it’s a real nice festival. It really is.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>I know most people that go to Christmas during Christmastime want to get their letters stamped from Christmas.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes. That’s an interesting situation. When Mother became Postmaster in 1932, she found out how much people were interested to get their cards postmarked at Christmas time. So she created a Christmas tree cachet that could be put on the extra onto the cards.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>The envelope?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes. Yeah. And so, she started doing that. And that was in 1934.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And everything is by hand too?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker <br /></strong>Everything was by hand. Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow. So how many people do you think, on average, would come through there?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, it started out, you know—it’d be 30 or 40 thousand a year. Now, we’re probably somewhere between 300 and 500 thousand a year that have this done. But it’s just for those extra, little special things. We don’t get a whole lot of cooperation out of the Post Office Department. Because they consider this an extraneous thing. It creates more problems for them.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Right. But you all still do it out there.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Still do it. Yeah [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>That’s crazy. Wow. Was there any other kind of events and things that you can remember, growing up?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>As I was growing up, the school—the activities at the school pretty much centered—it was the activities in the community. We’d have school plays, and get-togethers at school, a covered dish dinner, and this sort of thing. All those kind of things going on all the time in Christmas.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Right. And the school is located not in Christmas?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yep. Well, in those days, until 1969, there was a school in Christmas. It started out in the 19—in 18—probably the 1880s. It could have been a little before that. The post office—the church in Christmas was started in 1871, and shortly after that, the school was created in the church, in the building. But we’ve had a school in Christmas ever since, until 1969, when it ended up getting moved to Bithlo.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And that was all the grades throughout?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>We had a, it was eight grades. My first eight years of school was in that building. First four grades—we called “The Little Room,” and that was in the small room. That building has been moved to the fort, and is one of the preserved buildings at the fort. The larger room was grades four—five through eight.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And the high school?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, in those days, they didn’t—we had a junior high, but it went from ninth grade on. And now they call it, well…</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Now they have elementary school, middle school, and high school.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Middle school. Yeah. They call it middle school. So…</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And which high school did you go to?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>And then I rode a bus to Orlando and went to Memorial Junior High [School] in Orlando, and then I transferred in the tenth grade. I transferred to Orlando High School—OHS.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Okay. And after that, you went to the University of Florida?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, I went to Orlando Junior College, which was there in Orlando. It was in the early stages of junior colleges getting started. But I only went one year, because I had in my 4-H work. I had won a scholarship to the University of Florida. And that scholarship was fixing to expire on me, so I had to transfer out of junior college up to the university so I could get my scholarship.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>We’ll come back to your schooling. How long were you into the 4-H? I mean, what did you do while you were in there?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /> </strong>I was always very active in 4-H. In fact, when I got on up to—I stayed active in 4-H even when I was in high school. I drove my dad’s cattle truck, and I would haul our dairy heifers to the various shows around. I carried Orange County heifers to Tampa—to the show.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So you showed dairy cows?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Showed dairy cows and beef cattle. Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Alright. And did you show any hog, or anything like that?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>No. Never was very intrigued by hogs.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>I can understand. So you won a scholarship through doing your shows and things?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Through the 4-H. yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Well, good. Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Wasn’t a very big scholarship, but in those days, every penny counted.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Exactly.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>I think it was $100, or something like that.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Well, good. And that helped you get into the University of Florida?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, no, it just helped to pay some of the expenses when I did get in.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>When you went there, did they have, like—was it still an all-male college, or…</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>You know, I need to do a little research on that. It was close. We did have—when I was attending there, it was co-ed. But it was pretty close to the time that it became co-ed, because I went there when—as I was active in 4-H, we used to go to what they called “Short Course.” And we spent a week at the university in the summertime every year. If you won that position in 4-H, you could go to Short Course. So I had been to Short Course, I guess, every year for five, six, seven years. And so I was involved there at the university as a 4-Her long before I got there as a student, so I knew some of the things that was going on.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And they already knew you. They were expecting you.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So is that what you went to college for was for the agriculture?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker <br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Did they have a specific program?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>I was going to major in animal husbandry. And did.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Okay. And you went for four years at the university?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, I actually went for four years, and I was thinking about going to vet school. And at that time, the only vet school was in Auburn, Alabama. And I applied, and the earliest I could get in, I would be already out of college. You had to wait two or three years to get in. So I decided I would back up and look at the feasibility of going into—I was interested in either extension agriculture, extension work, or in research. So, I ended up going toward a Master’s degree. So I got my Master’s degree, and had an opportunity to go into extension down in Marion County, in Ocala. And that’s what got me into County Agent.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So after you graduated, you went right into the [Marion County] Extensions Office? Wow. And you were the youngest, one of the youngest in the state?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, there were a lot of young assistant county agents my age. But when I became the full agent, I was the youngest at that time of that.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And had you—when you first started out with the Extensions Office, did you work there for a while, or did you just go right into the position that you were in?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>I went right in. When I graduated from university, in Marion County, Assistant Agent position opened up. I applied for it, and received it, and went right into it. And so I was very fortunate, because Marion County was one of the most active 4-H counties in the state. They had numerous state titles, teams, judging teams that won. And then 4-Hers that won positions and went to Chicago[, Illinois], or the national deal. And so it was a great county to go into for training.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>What did you do at the Extension Office when you first started out there?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, I—my job was two-fold. As a—see, at that time, I had a Master’s degree in Animal Husbandry and Nutrition. So, I had a job in Marion County working with the cattle people. And then I had the job of being 4-H Agent. And so, as leader of the 4-Hers, I ended up training judging teams. We had judging teams in dairy, and judging teams in beef, and judging teams in poultry.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And you taught them, like, what to look for in the animal…</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Right. In the area of poultry—I didn’t know that much about it, but I found somebody that did.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>That seems like it would a little bit more in-depth.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yep. But we had some good teams. Some great 4-Hers there.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So, when you say, working with the cattle there, like what types of cattle? What types of things did you do with them?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, it had to do with the cattlemen on their pastureland, and any problems they had with pastureland. And, of course, we had a number of purebred ranches in the area. Some of them were Brahman, some of them were Shorthorn, some of them were Hereford. And Angus. So it was a good training area for me.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>It sounds like it. And how long were you with the Marion County office?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>I was with Marion County for two years, and the, just before I left Marion County, the county agent of Marion County—he’d always been quite interested in the Sheriff’s Department, and in fact, he periodically would go on with the Sheriff’s Department on activities, and it became available to him to be able to get appointed as Sheriff. And so he took it. So I was appointed for a brief time as acting county agent in Marion County—big county.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>But at the time, I had already applied for the job of County Agent here in Sanford, Seminole County, because it had became available.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And it was closer to home.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>And it was the closest one home.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Now, when you were up in Marion County, did you live up there?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Okay. Good to know you didn’t try to commute every day.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>No, no. I lived there.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So once he took the position as Sheriff, how long until you got to come down here? I mean, did they find someone else?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yeah. They found someone right away. In fact, I was just Acting Agent to take care of some things at the school. I wasn’t in the county, just for—goodness, it probably wasn’t for more than six or seven months.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Then you come down here.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yep.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Okay. You want to talk about what you did down here, which was a lot?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>The county agent that was here at the time—it was an interesting situation. He had—he had almost retired before his retirement. And some of it’s understandable. During the [Great] Depression, they cut back drastically on salaries. In fact, one of the stories told is: one of the farmers said to him, “Charlie, I heard they cut back your salary. Cut back 25 percent.” [<em>laughs</em>] He says, “Doesn’t that bother you?” Charlie says, “Well, yeah. But no, I just set the lever back 25%percent.” Well, he had done that. And he was fortunate that he was—had been in place for a long time. And the farmers were a little unhappy that when he first came in to the county, he did a tremendous job as county agent. I went through his files and things, and letters and all that he sent out, and he did a remarkable job. But after the episode with the salary and all of that, I think he was fortunate that he was real close friends with the director of Extension.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Goodness. So you came in about mid-1950s, into Seminole County?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>In 1956, I came here. The joke in the community was that, well, if you want to look for the county agent, just go down to Roumillat and Anderson’s Drug Store. He’ll be down there in the coffee shop.” So I says, “I tell you what. You won’t find me in Roumillat and Anderson’s. I’m going to go down to the other drug store.”</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh, goodness.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>But Charlie had—Charlie had a good job. It was just there towards the end.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>He was ready to go.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yeah. And some of the old time farmers here, they pretty well understood. And so—but he was—the day came time for him to retire. It was pretty well fixed.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So when you came in, what types of things did you do down here?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, one of the first things I did was to begin to get the 4-H going. Because there wasn’t much going in that area. And then I started working on the—bringing all of the mailing lists of the various farms—the citrus growers, the vegetable growers, the cattlemen—bringing those up to date. Charlie pretty well had a list, but he wasn’t keeping all of it up-to-date. And that was one of the things I worked on.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So there was quite a bit of agriculture planting?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes. There was. In those days, we still was one of the more active vegetable producing areas in the state. And we had quite a bit of citrus here. We had probably 15 to 18 thousand acres of citrus.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And that was in the Sanford area?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>In the Sanford area—Seminole County area. Now, the unique thing about that is, Seminole County is the fourth smallest county in the state in land area. So to have much acreage of anything is a little unique, because of the size of it.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>I know the big thing that I’ve heard is, like celery and citrus.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>But I know there was maybe some other things in there, as well.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, in the—in those days, the nursery part of it was not—it was just beginning to come on. And in the ‘70s, we predicted that the nursery part—ornamental, horticultural, nursery—was probably going to outstrip the rest of it. And it has. But that’s just one of those things of how an area changes to meet the needs of the community.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow. And what about like agriculture—beef and things? I know there’s still quite a bit of it here, but not as much as it was.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>No. In fact, the only thing that is as much as it was is ornamental horticulture. The vegetables has dropped way down. Almost nil right now. Beef cattle is still, over in the eastern part of the county is where most of the traditional pastureland was. And it’s still a lot of it over there.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So that’s like, Geneva?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker <br /></strong>Geneva. Yep.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oviedo kind of area.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Chuluota. Yep. Kind of area. Osceola.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Chuluota. Osceola. Okay. Back in those days, was it more prominent? Did it come further into Seminole County, or is it just kind of always in that general area?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>It’s always been out in that area, although every area in the county had some cattle scattered in it. Not today, but back in those days.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong></p>
<p>No. Definitely not today. Now, when you were with the exchange office, you were telling me earlier about getting the new buildings, and even using this building, the county home building,<a title="">[1]</a> as an agricultural office. Could you tell me a little bit more about that?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Alright. Let me back up before that. I probably developed more offices for the county than any other department head. When I became county agent in 1956, we were in the bottom floor of the courthouse. I called it the Salt Mine Section of the courthouse. And it was just basically one big room, which housed my office, the home economics agent’s office, and we had Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation [Service (ASCS)], the old AAA. That office was also in that area. And so, basically, and I was trying to develop part of the program that we provide in extension to farmers is information about agriculture. And some of the best information that Extension has available are the bulletins that they print on the various topics. So, I determined that we were going to have a—when I was working my way through college at the university, one of my jobs, I worked in the bulletin room. And we sent out to county agents all over the state. They would send in an order for so many bulletins of this, so many bulletins of that. And so I was involved in shipping those out to the various agents. So I was pretty well familiar with the—what was available in bulletins. And I determined, in Seminole County, we was[sic] going to have the best supply of bulletins south of Gainesville. And we did.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow. What kind of things did the put out for bulletins? Was it like that tell of, like maybe a pest type thing for plants, or…</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Right. They would have a bulletin out on chinch-bug control. And a bulletin out on varieties of grasses. You name the topic, and they had it. In vegetables, there was a general vegetable production guide that gave how many pounds of seed, and how you would do for all the vegetables for growing a garden.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So being down here in Seminole County and making more offices, and making more of this information available, you were very helpful to more of the general population here, to help them with their agriculture.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yeah. And that was part of the making information available. So when I came in to the—to the Salt Mine Section of the courthouse, it was a little bit difficult to do what I wanted to do with the—just that one big room. So, I showed—in those days, the [Seminole County] Clerk of the Court pretty much ran the county. And so, I was to see Mr. Herndon, and I said, “Mr. Herndon, I know we really need a little bit more office space. And the other day, I was downstairs here, on the other side our office in this big storage area down here, and I could regroup a lot of stuff that’s in there, and make an office right there.” He says, “Son, let’s go down there and see what you talking about.” So I went down there and showed him, and he says, “We’ll think about that.” And he agreed, as I recall. I don’t think I even had to restore the stuff. They moved it around. And so we put an office in, and it was an all-inside deal. I didn’t have any—if I’d had claustrophobia, I would have been in trouble, because there wouldn’t have been any windows.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>No windows. Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>But it provided more wall space to do what I wanted to do. And that was to put these bulletins available for people to see and pick up.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Right. And then did you all stay in that office, or did you eventually move out into the new one?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, we were there until the early ‘60s. The judges needed more room. And we had made our space into a pretty nice office area, over the course of time. And so they wanted that space. So again, I says, “Mr. Herndon, there is an abandoned county building. It’s a good building. It has a potential. And what I’d like to do is for us to create a[sic] ag[ricultural] center and move all the agriculture people we’ve got—we’ve got soil conservation, plant inspector, we’ve got ASC here, and put all of us in one area for the farmers just to come into one spot. To see all these things.” And so, he says, “Well, we’ll think about that.” Well they appointed a committee, and I was on the committee, and we created the Ag Center at the Stockade building down here.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And that’s where everybody moved with you.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>They all moved with me.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yeah. So then they wanted more space for the road department. And that was shortly about the same time that the county home had moved out of here. And so I said again, “I know where there’s a place that would really work out better for us, because we’re a little bit crowded here for all the people for the Ag Center.” And they agreed to it.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So you made this entire area here?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>This entire building became the Ag Center.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow. And how long was that office here?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>From the middle ‘60s until 19—I think Frank [Jazzen] moved over into the new Ag Center in the mid-70s.<a title="">[2]</a> I had already left as county agent at that time.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And how long were you County Agent?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Thirteen and a half years.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow. So what did you do when you were done being the county agent?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>I had an opportunity to go into a farming operation growing watercress down in Oviedo. Went into a watercress-growing enterprise, another young fellow and I. And after a couple of years, well, we ended up merging with Don Weaver and his brother-in-law, and created B&W Quality Growers. That grew into a pretty sizeable watercress-growing operation. We were the largest in the eastern part of the United States. And we had farms in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Florida. Later on, I got out of that.</p>
<p>And Joe Baker, who had Baker’s Dairy over here, was interested in my coming to work for him. In fact, when he found out I had gone into the watercress, he says, “Cecil, you, uh, I didn’t know you was[sic] available.” I said, “Joe, I probably wasn’t available for anything except what I did.” Because it was a good opportunity that I got into. Anyway, when I got out of the watercress deal, I went to see Joe. He says, “Yeah. I’m still interested in you.” And he says, “When can you start?” I says, “Well, I got a couple of things I got to finish at home. I’ll need a couple of weeks.” He says, “No. I need you to start Monday.”</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Alright then.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>So, I managed Baker’s Dairy here for a couple of years. And then, well, let’s see. I got out of Extensions in 1969. And then I was in the watercress business for a couple of years. And then I managed Baker’s Dairy for I guess it was about a year and a half on each one of them. In 1972, I opened my own farm and garden supply store in Sanford. Tucker’s Farm and Garden Center. And we ran that as a family operation for the next 30 years.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And it’s Myer’s now?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yeah. Horstmeyer [Farm and Garden]. Horstmeyer. Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And when did you sell that there?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, I sold it to my son in 198—1983. That’s when I moved to Christmas. Let’s see, ’83-’84 —somewhere along in there. And he sold it to his friend, Horstmeyers[sic], in—about 15 years later.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So during the time that you lived—or that you worked—out here in Seminole County, did you still live in Christmas?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>No. I’ve always lived in—from the time I came here as County Agent, I’ve lived here in Seminole County. I didn’t move back to Christmas until I sold the store and moved back to Christmas in the mid-80s.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So you lived in the Oviedo-Chuluota area?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>No. Always right here in Sanford. Actually, over here is what’s called Citrus Heights. That’s where we lived.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>The whole time?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>The whole time. Yeah. Well, I shouldn’t say the whole time, because I bought a house on Rosalia Drive, and we lived there a few years, and then I lived out her. [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Now, during all this time you met a lovely lady?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Actually, I met her and courted her while we were in college at the university.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So she went to University of Florida too?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker</strong>She went to the university for a while. Her mother had to have an operation, and that was money sending her to college had to be used. And so by that time, she and I had gotten pretty serious, and she got a job working for an orange packing company in Orlando. And after—I don’t know—a little over a year we ended up getting married. And then she came back to the university.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>How’d you win her over? Did you do anything special? Or did you just say, “Alright, woman...”</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>We need to make that a continued story. I’ll be right back.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Now then, you was[sic] wanting to know about my wife.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Yes, sir.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, during the year that she was—I knew her—knew of her—before we got to university. I doubt if she knew too much about me beforehand, but we—I was a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, agricultural fraternity there, and I would invite her every guest night to come over to the fraternity house and eat with us. And so they got to be pretty—and by the way, you’ll want to put Ms. [Mart Albritton] Tucker on your list as one to do an oral interview.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>I will do that.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Because she is an old-time—as an Albritton, old-time Florida family. But she’s been active here in Seminole County. She helped me in to get the store going. She’s active in the cattle operation. In fact, when I was running the store, she did as much of the cattle work as I did. We had a—a pet at the store. It was a wild pig that became pretty well-known in the community. She used to take it on a leash downtown when she went to make the deposit at the bank. She’d carry the pig with her.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>What was his name?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Pete. Streaky Pete. Pete the Pig. And he grew to be about 700 pounds. But anyway, that’s another story. But she was active in the [Seminole County] Farm Bureau—in the women’s deal at the Farm Bureau. She was active in 4-H, doing some of the judging, and some of the 4-H activities here. And of course, when we were opening the store, she was part of that. So she’d be another one.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And she—so you all married before you graduated?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Right.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So she went to Marion County with you?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes. In fact—well, let’s see. Before I got my Master’s, she was expecting my daughter. And she typed my thesis. And then when we moved to Ocala, uh—trying to remember at what point—my daughter was born before then.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And you have one daughter?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>I’ve got one daughter and two sons—twins. They were born on my daughter’s second birthday. And then, we have an adopted daughter, as well.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And you all have always had cattle in your family?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Put your boys to work?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>We’ve had cattle in our family since as far as we can tell, going back into the 1700s. And that’s another thing I’m researching, because one of these days, that’s going to be a part of my book too.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow. That’s a long time. Okay. As far as the cattle in your family—the history—that’ll be good?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Do you have anything else that you want to add to our…</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, let’s see. Well, there’s a lot of things we could go into and talk about [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>We could always come back and talk about different things, if you wanted to.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>The problem of being able to have—to build a program when the county didn’t have any funds, it was a problem. I needed—and of course, I was always on the low-end of the pay scale. If it wasn’t for the fact that this is where I wanted to be, I’d have gone somewhere else. In fact, when I left to go into the watercress, I was offered a job paying me twice as much I was in extension. And he couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t take it. Because my opportunity that I was going into was better [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Right.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, let me look here. See if there’s anything—this is interesting. When I came to the county, the phone number for the county agent’s office was 470.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>470? That’s it? [<em>laughs</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] 470. That’s it. But we went through the medfly infestation, we went through the fire burning the [Sanford State] Farmers’ Market down, and having to help get things going for it to build back up. We had, in ’57—late ’57, early ’58 —a severe freeze deal that actually we had cattle dying, because there wasn’t enough hay, and we brought in hay for that. We had—one of the projects that I worked on was the eradication of screwworms. And my dad was involved in that. That was one of the miracles of using atomic energy to eradicate the screwworm fly. The female fly mates only once. And so they found that if they would raise screwworm flies and eradiate them with atomic energy deal, it sterilized the males, and they put these male flies out in the area, and they mate with the wild females, and the eggs wouldn’t hatch. And by continually doing that, they lowered the population of the screwworm fly to completely eradicate it.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Really? So it’s gone for good?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes. Yes. it’s gone.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow. That’s amazing.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>And my dad was involved in that. He was an inspector. And in fact, some of the first pastures that they put the medfly—I mean the screwworm fly—out in was his pasture. So, when I was County Agent, of course I would make contact with the cattle people, and pass along the information to him about what was going on, and if there was an outbreak somewhere, they’d get on top of it.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Did they still have the technique of doing the cow dipping?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Yes. Now, the cow dipping—this was to eliminate the cattle tick—the fever tick. And in the early ‘50s, they was[sic] still—in fact, my dad worked with that. There’s still a lot of the, uh, dipping going on. Getting rid of the fever tick. And that lasted until, I guess, the early ‘60s.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Right. Is that something that they were able to just control?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>They were able to control it by dipping continually. They were able to eliminate the fever tick. After they wiped out a bunch of the deer who was perpetuating it. And some of your family was involved in that.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Yes, sir.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Oh, let’s see. We had a fire ant infestation that came into the county and we almost got it eliminated by flying [Boeing] B-17s [Flying Fortress], and putting out Myrex, until the do-gooders got involved and killed the program.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And we still have fire ants.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>And we still have fire ants, and we’ll always have fire ants. But we came about within two flights of eliminating them.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow. Now, did that have any—the chemicals used, did it have any effect on people? Is that why people got involved?</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>The problem is it could create some problem in the water and affect fish, and that sort of thing. But we could have eliminated that. You know, by staying away from those areas. Anyway. Well, let’s see. Any other questions?</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>No. Not if there’s anything. I mean, I have lots of questions. I know you’re big into the rodeo, and you’ve done a lot for 4-H, and different things like that, but we can come back maybe and talk about that another other time.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Well, what do—yeah. Make a list. And we’ll do it. And like I said, I think you need to interview my wife, because I think you’ll find that to be interesting, as well.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers <br /></strong>Absolutely.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>There’s a lot of little ins and outs of what went on here in the county.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Well, I’ll definitely schedule a day with her, so she can come in and talk to me.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Good deal.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Well, I appreciate it very much.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>And I appreciate your being on board to help do these things.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Absolutely.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>We want to look through the list of people and be sure that we get some—thing of it is, we’re five years late on a lot of people that passed on. Joe Baker, he—would have been great to be able get his. And I want to set up Don Weaver.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Don Weaver and his family was—they came here from Pennsylvania. But they are pioneers in the watercress industry in the United States. And he lives down in Chuluota, on the south side of Lake Mills. And we’ll work out getting that set up. Anything else?</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>No, sir.</p>
<p><strong>Tucker<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Thank you.</p>

Description
This painting accompanies the Orlando Remembered exhibit at the Downtown Orlando Information Center, located at 201 South Orange Avenue in Downtown Orlando, Florida. The painting was created by James Stoll, who has contributed various works of art, as well as some scale model replicas, to several Orlando Remembered exhibits.<br /><br />This particular portion of the painting features Nick Serros' Fish & Poultry Company sometime around 1938. Nick Serros (b. 1888), the company owner, was born in Greece in 1888 and immigrated to the United States in 1923. He opened his business in the late 1930s. The business remained on the block until it was bought out to make way for the CNA Tower and Barnett Plaza. In 1941, Serros' held a location of 117 South Court Street, but moved to 37 East Jackson Street by 1943. The following year, the business was listed at 37-41 E. Jackson and remained at that location until 1952.

Six men standing in front of Nick Serros' Fish & Poultry Company in Downtown Orlando, Florida, sometime around 1938. Nick Serros (b. 1888), the company owner, was born in Greece in 1888 and immigrated to the United States in 1923. He opened his business in the late 1930s. The business remained on the block until it was bought out to make way for the CNA Tower and Barnett Plaza. In 1941, Serros' held a location of 117 South Court Street, but moved to 37 East Jackson Street by 1943. The following year, the business was listed at 37-41 E.

Description
Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Longwood, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around.
The first European and Euro-American settlers arrived in present-day Longwood in the early 1870s. Its town founding settlers were John Neill Searcy of Tennessee and Edward Warren Henck of Boston, Massachusetts, both of which arrived in 1873. Henck was a railroad businessman, hotel owner, and real estate promoter, and he was later elected the first Mayor of Longwood in 1885. Henck was instrumental in bringing the South Florida Railroad to Longwood.
Although Longwood enjoyed growth from the railroad, the Great Freeze of 1894-1895 caused many citizens to leave Central Florida. However, the area experience growth again during the 1910s and 1920s. In 1923, the Town of Longwood was incorporated as a city. Longwood experienced decline during the Great Depression, and the city failed to dis-incorporate after its bank failed in 1932.
Growth returned to Longwood during World War II, thanks to the development of the Naval Air Station (NAS) Sanford and the Orlando Air Army Base, which was later renamed the Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando. Prosperity increased again the 1960s and 1970s, due to the expansion of the military industry, the establishment of the space industry in nearby Brevard County, and the opening of Walt Disney World.

Transcript
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Today is December 10, 2010. My name is Stephanie Youngers and we’re here at the Museum of Seminole County History doing an interview with Mrs. [Mary] Carolyn Bistline. How are you, Mrs. Bistline?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>I’m fine. Thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And if you’d like to start with where and when you were born?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Oh. It asks my name—I have your little paper here, and I’m seeing that it says your name, and I usually mention to some people when it’s important and necessary for the record that my first name is Mary, but I’ve never gone by that name. My middle name’s Carolyn and that is how I’ve always been recognized. My birthday is three days before Christmas, and so there were carolers outside when I was born, and that’s why my mother decided on Carolyn.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Very nice.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>And that was in 1928. In the Dark Ages. I was born in Memphis, Tennessee. My dad had little desire for farm life, and they were living in the Carolinas. But he was good at mechanics, and so he took a chance to move from South Carolina—before I was born to Memphis—with an offer for a job where he got on a newspaper. However, the job didn’t last all that long, and so we moved back to the farm when I was about four, I think. And my little brother came along. That was in Clemson, which is formally called Central[, South Carolina]. I don’t think they call it that anymore, but that was the little town on the side of the road. And then we moved to Miami when he was about a year old, which I think was 1936. I’m not sure of my brother’s age precisely.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>So, I essentially grew up in Miami, which was just starting to boom. We thought it was a big city. We went there, but it wasn’t as big then as it came to be as I grew up. In our little neighborhood—or our community—we were happy and knew all our neighbors. No worries about crime. I went to Santa Clare[sic]<a title="">[1]</a> Elementary and Robert E. Lee Junior High School and rode my bike and we loved going to the beach and the skating rink, etcetera. But in starting high school, I decided to attend Miami Senior High [School], which was not the nearest school to our home. This meant I had to ride the bus downtown, and then take another bus across town. And the bus stop was several blocks from my home. So, I had to go early every day to make it there, but I loved the school. I was in the chorus and several clubs, and very active at Miami Senior High School. Now they have several Miami high schools, among others. I don’t know if you’ve ever been to Miami…</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>I have.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>You have. Well, there’s more than one. This is the northeast section of Miami where I went. And I lived in northwest.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh, goodness.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>But the Andrew Jackson [High School] was nearest to me, and I didn’t want to go there. As it turns out, my brother ended up going to [Miami] Edison [Senior High School], which was not too far away, and we were bitter rivals. So we played football, we were both on each side, even in the band. I visited, when I was in high school, a military high school in Atlanta[, Georgia], because I was dating a young student there—a young man that I had gotten acquainted with at church. And I really enjoyed going there, because I got to see a real military-type formation. They did all the things. They did first—and then the dress parade, and the graduation and the dance afterwards. Of course, there were stipulations how I had to dress. I had to wear a picture hat, which was the big straw hat, you know—it’s called a “picture hat” at that time—with flowers on the crown. And the long gown. I remember again, I was having been raised in Miami, that I was inclined not to wear hosiery, unless I was wearing…</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>That’s because it’s too warm.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Well, I had them. But I hadn’t put them on, because I thought that with the long dress, I wouldn’t need them. And so his sister came in to see and check on me, and I was getting dressed, because this was very formal, and she said, you’re not wearing your stockings. And I said, “Do I need them?” She said, “Absolutely, yes.” [<em>laughs</em>] So I really learned that this was military life, and that was the way they were. They were very formal. But I did enjoy it, and I dated him for really several years.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And this was when you were in high school?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Yes. But everything really began to develop land-wise and population-wise in Miami when World War II started. So there were a lot of servicemen in our church in Downtown Miami. So I dated mostly servicemen. And so it went to where I had been dating steadily with this boyfriend, I went to dating others. Miami became a [inaudible] city. Too big. Too much traffic. And there was an influx of Cubans, and later Haitians. And Miami Beach—having been made of Jewish folks mostly from New York, and etcetera—was taken over, you might say, by servicemen. Navy, Army, Air Force. And South of Miami—Homestead—also became service-occupied. Did you say you had been to Miami, or you had been…</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>You know something about it?</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>I’ve been to Biscayne Bay. I’ve been to Coconut Grove. Been to various places down there.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>My brother lives in Coral Gables. He’s an attorney, and now in the process of semi-retirement. A liaison, you might say, or mediator, in the circuit courts and so on. Just something to do. He’s really not handling, but he used to handle civil cases and had to learn Spanish while he was along the way. He drove downtown from the Gables every day, and then when he got to Flagler, he would drive up into the parking garage and park it and then go upstairs and cross Flagler to his office in the federal building. And when he was through with his day at work, he’d come back across—three or four stories up over Flagler—the walkway, and then get in the car and in the garage and drive back to Coral Gables.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Right. Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Because he avoided downtown anymore. But when we were little, we went downtown to church, we’d get our shopping downtown and everything. We weren’t cautious or worried about it.</p>
<p>But in 1946, I graduated, and then I went to Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. And it’s a lovely, quiet, small town, which I liked. And I met Fred [Bistline] and dated him for a year. We married in 1949, after he graduated. We lived off-campus for a year since I had one more year of college. And I graduated in 1950, in the spring, already expecting. And in September of 1950, our first child was born in Lakeland.</p>
<p>In December of 1950, we moved to Longwood, because Fred had a chance to get on with Minute Maid Corporation, and he was into citrus. He was one of the first ones to go into citrus school there on campus. And so we’ve lived there ever since—here, in other words, where we live now—for 59 years in the same house, ever since. We actually stayed in a little guest cottage before we could build on their property, the Bistlines.</p>
<p>I started teaching in the old Lyman School, which is[sic] of course been torn down, and that was the school that Fred attended all 12 years. He played football there. He grew up in that school, because that was first [grade] through 12<sup>th</sup> [grade] at that time.</p>
<p>And I taught second grade. And during my high school year, I had worked as a clerk in a 10-cent store, as we used to call it—Woolworth’s in Downtown Miami, as a file clerk in a furniture store—my uncle’s—and I also worked one summer in the office at the church in Downtown Miami. And I also did a lot of babysitting. But when I went to college, I decided to be a teacher. I had always thought I wanted to do that. So I received a degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood [Education], and that was a very, very hard year—my first year of teaching. And it was a very extremely hard time for me. But I’m glad I stayed with it, because I became a teacher and have been for all these years.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And you stayed at Lyman for the whole time?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>No, I taught one year at Lyman and I had a downstairs basement room, really, with stairs to climb to come and go. And I had a young boy who was paralyzed from the waist down, and I had to get him up under his armpits and lift him and drag him up those stairs to get him to the top level and put him in a little chair with casters on it—because he was paralyzed—and take him to the bathroom down the hall. And of course, I would always not quite make it in time, and then all high school boys would be in there between classes, and they’d say, “Mrs. Bistline, get out of the boy’s bathroom.” And I’d say, “I’m sorry, but I’m here because I have to get this little guy in and out. “And I’d try to go between classes, but I couldn’t always make it, so—but I remember how Chucky was so dearly loved by all of our other students, because they could take him in the wagon, and they could pull him—we had an outside door to the playground, and he would bring his cowboy hat and guns, and pretend he was a cowboy. And they would pull him around, and take turns. Just loved to be able to be the one to take Chucky for a ride. We really adored him.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Where did you go after Lyman?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>After I left Lyman—I’ll get into that a little bit later. I went to stay at home for a while and had another child, a little girl. And at that time, it was really—I felt—in my best interest not to put my children in a school, or in a place where, anyway…</p>
<p><strong>Youngers <br /></strong>Childcare.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Mm-hmm. Childcare. I didn’t think they were really well set-up. I didn’t really like them an awful lot, so I stayed home as much as I could with them—my children—when they were born to when they were about of age to go to preschool.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Now you asked, there’s a question here about your family history. And I don’t know how I got onto that, because I wanted to try to go by your questions. And I see it there—number three—on the page…</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh, it’s fine.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Oh, I’m trying to keep my head on by writing this all down, because I’m not good at remembering things. Anyway, number 10 says—my family history. And so I wrote down some things, which I’ve just told you and Kim [Nelson] about a few minutes ago before we started officially here. I’m trying to have it researched now, and a lady and I—a local historic society is doing genealogies. But when she did mine, she traced names and birth dates only, back to the 1700s, which was interesting, but I’m curious about the occupations they had, and the birthplaces, some of which she did find. So I’m going to have to find someone who will delve further back, maybe, and find out what the people did, their jobs.</p>
<p>And then one of the next questions on your list—“Do you know any stories about how your family first came to Seminole County?” Well, that would be my husband—and I’ll tell a little bit about him—my husband Fred and his mother Adeline Alvina Niemeyer, were born in Longwood. So my husband’s brother John [Bistline, Jr.] —whom you’ve met, I’m sure—was born in Longwood. And he has studied the Bistline side of our family background with a lot of help from several cousins—Bistlines in Pennsylvania—who really came up with a lot of information. Fred’s father, Mr. John Aaron Bistline, from Pennsylvania, came to Longwood in answer to an ad from the founding father of Longwood to get a job. He started working with Mr. Niemeyer, who had a general store, and eventually married his daughter, Adeline. That was Fred’s mother. Mr. Frederick Niemeyer had married as Ms. Clouser, who was related to the master carpenter, Clouser, who was hired by Mr. Hink to build the hotel, and most of the houses in Longwood, the chapel in Altamonte [Springs], among others. We now own the Clouser cottage [Josiah Clouser House], and hope to keep it in the family in Longwood. Mr. Bistline, Fred’s father, grew orange trees, had quite a large acreage, and raised squabs, which were specialty birds for eating in hotels. Have you ever heard of squabs?</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>I haven’t ever heard of a squab.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Okay. It’s a baby pigeon, is what it really is. That’s what it’s called—a squab. I don’t really know how it’s derived. But they would take care of them by wringing their necks—I guess it was—like we do chickens sometimes, and they would pack them in ice, and ship them north each week by train from Winter Park.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh!</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>So my husband would get up early hours in the morning and help his father, because they had to pick them and ship them as soon as they did to keep them fresh, and they had to be a certain age, and a certain size. If they got too big, they became very tough, and so people don’t usually eat pigeon. But squabs are different. They’re very tender if you get them at a young age. And it was—that day also would have them in the hotels here that he raised and started his business. Then he got started and shipping them north, and so they would take them in a wagon, pack them in ice box, crates, and take them in the wagon to Winter Park and have them shipped out once a week.</p>
<p>So, another thing about Mr. Bistline—J. A. Bistline, Sr. —is that he started raising prize poultry as a hobby. And he became immersed in communicating with other men doing the same thing all over the world. And he won all sorts of awards, trophies, and prizes. Raised excellent expertise in raising silver-laced Wyandottes. <a title="">[2]</a> And these are beautiful, big, very regal-looking birds. Usually the roosters—the cocks, as they call them—with the large red cockade on their heads, and stripes along the sides. Feathers which might look lacey. They were in little rows, like on their feathers. I have pictures. And a lot of trophies. And some of these awards and letters from different countries—men soliciting information about Mr. Bistline about how he raised this beautiful poultry, because he won so many prizes and so many trophies and awards. And that’s a funny kind of an occupation to have, but it was a hobby, really, because he had the orange trees and the squab farm. We had over two thousand birds in that squab farm at one time. And so that was quite a job for Mr. Bistline and for Fred. John didn’t help very much there, John was always helping his mother.</p>
<p>So, anyway, Mr. Bistline was also very community-oriented, and he was on the town council in Longwood for at least, I think, 20 years. I’m not sure. He was active in church choir—an elder, a Sunday school teacher. He played trombone in a band. Now, I have a picture of him on the stage at our building—the City League Building, we called it—in Longwood. And he was on the Seminole County School Board for 19 years.</p>
<p>Mrs. Bisltine—or Addy, as she was called—went to Rollins [College], and she played piano. I have a picture of her doing a concert. And she played piano and sang in the choir, and she was a charter member of the Woman’s Club [of Longwood] and officer most every year—some sort of officer. And her mother was the same way, Frances Niemeyer. So it was accepted that when I married Fred and came there with him to live that I become a member of the Woman’s Club immediately, and be active in the church.</p>
<p>Now, it mentions on your list my background and my parents. My father was the newspaperman. And he inspired—he was probably inspired—I mean, possibly by his rich Uncle Vernon. We have a book on him. He was in the Midwest as an editor of a newspaper. But my dad’s mother had died when my dad was born, as was his twin brother. He died also. And since he had another older brother and four sisters, his father sent him as a tiny infant to live with Aunt Fannie. Doesn’t everybody always have an Aunt Fannie? In Pelzer, South Carolina. And so he told me some stories about how she carried him around on a pillow, because he was so tiny, and she nursed him to health and kept him there till he was almost nine. By the age of nine, he was on his own, I was told.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Somehow, he worked on farms and moved about, and received minimum education. But then he met my mother, Hettie Catherine Hollis, in Central—or Clemson—South Carolina. And they married, and he went back to the farm business again, and they lived there on the farm. My mother went to Furman University, and studied business. And when my brother was born, I was ecstatic, because I hadn’t been told before. So when the doctor drove in under his [Ford] Model T, and saw my playing under the giant walnut tree, and he told me he brought me something in a little black bag, and I would get to see it later.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>That’s a good story.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>I loved my little brother. And I tried to help my mother to look after him. I remember when we built a house in Miami, after renting for a while, there were beds of scorpions in the palmettos when my dad started the dig the foundation—the coral rock, which is solid down there. He, being from South Carolina—or actually, he was born in Georgia—was not familiar with the conditions, and he was stung many times by the red ants and insects, scorpions and all, and finally decided that the rock was the foundation, because he couldn’t remove it with a pickaxe. When we got the walls up and the roof on, we moved in with the spiders and the snakes as well, and one night, my little brother stepped on a scorpion and it stung him, and being about a year old maybe, he didn’t know what was happening, and he just kept stepping up and down on that scorpion. These bugs—the scorpions—were very large, not tiny. Sometimes, we see them around here in Central Florida, but they’re very small, and very seldom do we see them. But these are large, large ones. Many two to three inches long, and had a lot of venom. His feet were swollen for weeks and we kept putting ice on them and carrying him around for long time, but he finally got well—survived.</p>
<p>So, as we developed a neighborhood there, we were fortunate ultimately in having a very nice home. Improved on our home a great deal, and my dad built additions on, and it became a nice building. We had great childhoods—my brother and I. Sometimes we did have a slight problem, because my father’s brother divorced and brought his four children to live with us at once time. And that was pretty hard. His youngest daughter was three months older than I was and she and I got along pretty well most of the time. But we were more like sisters I think in that we would fight occasionally. We love each other now to death. We have a lot memories, and nice memories. And he finally moved out and took one of the children with him. Anyway, we basically grew up together there for several years down home.</p>
<p>And then I went to summer camp at Florida Southern and that’s when I decided I wanted to go to college. So I’m backtracking a little bit here, because I mentioned it earlier.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>That’s okay.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>I entered as a freshman and joined a sorority right away—Alpha Delta Pi—and I enjoyed campus life and dated a lot. But because my uncle divorced and went to Miami with three children to live with my parents, I just decided to work part-time in the college library to help with my college tuition, and I learned a lot with that.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh, okay.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /> </strong>Learned a lot about library books and how to catalog them. I had a little old lady who was probably 90 [years old], who was very, very strict. And she would make me look at those numbers until I was blue in the face, and so tired of trying to type them and keep the numbers straight. And I wasn’t a good typist. I would almost cry. I would get so tired of it. Finally, I got to be on the floor and handle books and see people, because I like people.</p>
<p>Okay. Next question. “How has it changed over the years?” Well, I don’t know where that goes. I have number six there. I’ll just go with what I have in my notes here.</p>
<p>One day, while standing in line at the campus cafeteria, I was chatting with friends, one of whom was talking to her boyfriend—she was the campus homecoming queen. And she introduced us. And he in turn introduced us to his roommate, and that was Fred. He and the roommate lived off-campus working part-time in a science lab, located on the grounds there, while attending school on the GI Bill [Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944]. They both were from Longwood. Charlie Stum was his roommate, famously know in Longwood for Stum’s Corner, where they used to live. She was not a very nice woman—his mother. Charlie’s now in Polk County and on the staff at the university there—the college there.</p>
<p>So, I had never heard of Longwood. And we chatted a while, and when my friend and I left, I felt something pulling me on my ribbon sash from behind. And I guess it was tied in the back. Anyway, he was trying to catch up with us, so he pulled on that, and I realized—I looked around and caught him trying to catch up, and looked at him kind of funny, and he thought that was funny. So anyway, we laughed and we stopped to talk and then he asked me out. Our first date was to attend a play in town called <em>Everyman</em>, and dinner later at the town cafeteria. That was a big deal in Lakeland, because that was all they had then.</p>
<p>Now, trying to get to the family here. Your question is, “Does your family have any heirlooms or keepsakes?” When Fred’s mother passed away, I was given permission, along with John’s wife [Mary Bistline], to share some of her jewelry—his mother’s—and porcelain figurines and dishes, photo albums, which I really treasure. And silverware and other stuff. So I was very glad to share and still have most of that. That was some time ago when she died.</p>
<p>Now, number 19—question is, “What kind of local events and gatherings were there?”</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>In Longwood.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>We were active in the Central Florida Society for Historic Preservation. We were charter members. And Fred was the very first treasurer, and then a trustee. And I was a docent, as well as a secretary and head of several different committees. We were active in our church, also. He was Superintendent of Sunday Schools, and I was a Sunday school teacher. Eventually, we were both ordained as elders. We were active in [Boy] Scouts [of America]. Fred had been a scout as a boy. I was a Cub Scout mother and leader of the Cub pack, also leader of the Brownie Scouts and Cadets, which I think now are called “Intermediates.” I think that’s what they’re called, anyway. Fred was a member of the Indian Guides. He was one of the dads, and he was a timekeeper at swim meets. Our second son got a scholarship from swimming. He followed through. He was very good at swimming. So we were both workers with the booster club at Lyman High School, where Fred went. And I was—for a short time, I was a helper with A[lpha] D[elta] Pi at UCF[University of Central Florida], which at that time was called FTU—Florida Technological University. I was always active in educator’s associations. President one year of Seminole County for Children Under Six—now, that’s not quite right. I’m sure it’s Seminole County Association for Children Under Six, which ultimately became part of the 4C [Community Coordinated Care for Children, Inc.] program now in existence, and I helped start that. I enjoyed that.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>When did you all start the Central Florida Society for Historic Preservation?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>In ‘73, I think it was. And the reason for that being that we wanted to move this house that was up for grabs for the fire department to use…</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>The Bradlee-McIntyre House?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>And so, it was either ‘73, ‘75? No, I think it was ‘73 that we moved the house. I’m not really sure. It was right in there, that we moved the Bradlee-Mac house from Altamonte Springs to Longwood, and we also got the inside house while we were at it. We had to chip in, of course, a lot of our own money, and the move was quite large. Can’t remember his name—the man who did it—but it was quite an effort because, of course, because the Bradlee-Mac being three stories—Queen Anne. It was in terrible, terrible shape. I didn’t think to bring any pictures to show you today, but I do have pictures of how it looked before we moved it.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>I think I’ve seen some pictures of it.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Okay.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And it was in very bad shape.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>There was a man who lived in there, Bill Orr—he’s an artist. And I have pictures here where he had his—I don’t know if it’s a kerosene stove or not—but he had a pot sitting on it. Anyway, there were some pictures on the wall of the Beatles, or something like that. And you don’t really recognize or realize that’s the Bradlee-Mac house the way it looks now. You don’t realize until you find a few doorways and windows and things that you recognize. It comes to you that that’s the way it looked when it was going down. And after the move, we had to have power lines removed, or taken down. And a lot of trees had to be cut back, and a lot of hours spent on the road trying to move it. And there was just a small group of us, but we got it done. Of course, we were in the red for a lot of years afterwards, but we finally got ourselves in black.</p>
<p>Fred was a member of the Board of the [Florida] Farm Bureau for over 40 years, because he’s into citrus. And he was with Minute Maid, and they later became connected to Coca-Cola—part of Coca-Cola. And he had been, more recently, traveling a lot and helping out Coca-Cola to look for properties suitable for orange trees. We went to China twice. We went to Africa a couple of times. And I got to go with him to some countries, because Coca-Cola was interested not only the cocoa part of it, but they were also at that time selling coffee. And so I went to Jamaica with him a time or two, and Mexico several times. So I got to travel too some in between raising children.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Now was Minute Maid—was it located in Longwood?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>No. It was actually Orlando. It was a place called Fairvilla, which is still there. And he had an office there for a while, and then they moved to Plymouth—oh, I think they really were Plymouth first. I think that’s backwards. I think they were Plymouth first, and they had a packing plant over there and everything. And that was a little drive, but it was only 20 minutes then.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Right.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Now it takes at least half hour or more.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>So it’s really a commute.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Yeah. And he worked over there for a lot of years, and then they moved to Fairvilla and then opened more plants and opened more, not necessarily more packing houses, but more plants. Concentrate was coming in then. That was real important then. And he helped to start that, had to help get the vats in and all that that they required for that.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Mm-hmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>So, he was instrumental in the beginning of orange juice as we see it now, and concentrate, and then since then, fresh orange juice. It was almost, at that time, impossible to find. Then he became a kind of troubleshooter and consultant.</p>
<p>Then I was president of the Woman’s Club for a couple of years, and instrumental in setting up the old-timer’s reunion once a year. This was a get-together of all the old-timers in Longwood, which we all loved. That was discontinued when the Woman’s Club disbanded. It was no feather in my cap that we had to give up, but we had dwindling numbers—membership—and most of the ladies were not able to drive or get out without help. And we’re getting up in years. We were just to the point where we couldn’t seem to get younger people in. They were busy working. We finally disbanded and we gave the building to the historic group in Longwood—Central Florida Society for Historic Preservation—with the provision that the building would eventually become a museum. It hasn’t happened yet.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And is that the Bradlee-Mac House?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>No. It’s the City League Building. And it was the former Woman’s Club building, and we gave it away. Kind of regret that, sort of. But if we had tried to sell it, we didn’t know how we would divide the money, or what we would do. Where it would go. And there were so few members left that we didn’t seem to think that seemed fair. So I suggested we give it to the historic society, which we did, but it was with the provision that it become a museum. Now, we’re putting some things in there. We have a museum committee, of which I am a member and John is the president—my brother-in-law. We’re trying to get a museum set up and started. We’ve got some bulletin boards up and things, but they’re renting the building out now to society, because they did a whole lot of renovations. It was in pretty bad shape. So they spent a lot of money on it. So now they’re trying to make up that money that they spent by having people come in for weddings, and such as that. Bar-mitzvahs, other things. They do raise money, anyway.</p>
<p>So right now, we’re not having much luck on getting—we don’t want to really put anything in there of any value, museum-wise, anyway. So we’re collecting a few things, but we’re basically just trying to do the bookwork that goes with it, and collect some information on people who helped start Longwood. And we’re putting together a little book, we’re calling it <em>Footprints</em>. And we’re trying to get some information together. And some, you might say—the basics, just right now, and hopefully we’ll someday have a museum in Longwood. I don’t know if it’ll happen before I’m gone, but we’re trying.</p>
<p>Fred and I have also been active in the Seminole County Historic[al] Society—charter members there also. And I’ve been Recording Secretary at one time as well as Chairman of the Student Tours. Now, that goes with the society—the local group, the tours. CFSHP, which is Central Florida Society for Historic Preservation. I initiated tours—student tours—by visiting approximately 55 schools in the county, one by one, and introducing the history of the Longwood area for them, and setting up field trips by bus, through a grant. We had to work hard to get the grant. We’ve had as many as four days a week sometimes touring students through the town and/or the Bradlee-McIntyre House museum. It was I who introduced John and Mary [Bistline]—Fred’s brother—to the local group after he retired from New York, and they moved back to Florida and they became very active. I was raising four kids and teaching school, so I became less active for a while, and I’m again more active now since I retired from teachers. This getting too long?</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Nope.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>I’m proud to say that—now, number 21, you asked how historical events affected your family—community. Proud to say that we in Longwood were included in the Bicentennial Parade. The governors came through Florida in 1976. And I have some snapshots of a similar celebration in—I’m not sure if it was 1880—but Ulysses [S.] Grant came to visit, just for a day, in Longwood. His name is on the book at the hotel. We’re also proud of the Clouser heritage, hence the Niemeyers, and then the Bistlines, and pioneering the oldest city in Seminole County. The Clouser House has been acknowledged with a small plaque, and we had a little celebration at the City Hall, then Mayor Paul Lovestrand and other dignitaries—and our now-grown children, our four children have greater respect than when they were young, and appreciate the history of Longwood now. We put out a book, so we have some recognition, when we have our book on. And that’s our family on the front cover, the Niemeyers.</p>
<p>Number 23 is, “Is there anything you’d like to discuss?” I just going to say—I’ve always wanted to have my own private kindergarten, so my husband agreed after some rentals we had were vacated, and he was tired of being a landlord anyway. So with some renovations to three small homes, we opened a school. We connected them all together, three little houses in a row, and we called it Oak Tree [Pre]School, because we have what is probably the largest tree, the live oak, anyway, in Seminole County.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh!</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>It’s supposed to be between 400 and 500 years old, according to a forester who came out in ‘88, and I’m trying to have that checked out now, because it’s been so long, I think it may have grown a little, and there was an article in the newspaper in <em>The Orlando Sentinel</em>, fairly recently, about a large live oak in Lake County, and according to the writer, there’s nobody in Seminole County who pushed through like they did there in the town council who worked on getting this tree recognized with some kind, you know…</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh, to protect it. Yes, mm-hmm.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>I called the writer—The <em>Sentinel</em> writer—to ask him and he talked with me and suggested names, one of which is a lady who works for the forestry service. And she’ll come out and measure for me which is the other one did, when I had this—but I had gotten the children out there and talked about the tree, and then they helped him measure. And they enjoyed that and they had a little—they gave me a plaque. And around that time—it must have been already. So I want to bring this back to attention in our little town of Longwood, and because it’s in our backyard. It’s not something you just invite the whole town to, but I do want them to know that they can come and see it, and be ready to mention it to anybody who’s interested in trees. And so I’m going to look forward to her coming. She’s coming after Christmas sometime to measure, and she said, by the way it sounds—with my measurements that I gave her—it sounds like it is one of the largest oak trees in the state.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Wow.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>At least in the county, anyway. So we hope to have that recognized soon. And anyway, since I’ve been teaching in Seminole County for about eight or 10 years in public school at that time, I was disenchanted with all the paperwork, so I enjoyed revising the joining of these houses into one building, and making up the playground, etcetera. And I had that school for 11 years, we call it the Oak Tree Preschool. Well, actually, it came to be kindergarten. That’s my love, that’s my Early Childhood degree. But I had it for 11 years, but I gave it up after that, because even though I loved it very much, nobody wanted to pay tuition. They wanted to bring the children, but they didn’t want to pay. So it was just like—they thought it should be free, and I just let it go too long. I am a dedicated teacher, but I’m not a businessperson. So, I really let it go, and there were a lot of disappointed parents that we put a lot of money into, and we finally had to give up on that.</p>
<p>Now, I was just wondering—when you ask if there’s anything else I would like to discuss, I realize I must not forget to mention our children, of which I am very proud. Walter Bistline, Jr. was born September 30, 1950, in Lakeland, and he’s now an attorney with several large law firms. But he’s been semi-retired and he was in New York City, where he got his law degree, and he went with White & Case. Then he moved to Dallas[,Texas], and opened and branch there, and later he went to Houston[,Texas], and opened a branch there, and now they live in Richmond, Indiana, and that’s because he found it on the computer—they have a photography studio there like, that he can go to there, because that’s his hobby. And so he’s on the faculty teaching photography and he judges shows, and they just came back from Turkey. Brought me this back from Turkey.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh, very nice, yes.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Did you know that tulips were grown originally in Turkey?</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>I did not know that.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>All of us all think of Amsterdam[, the Netherlands] as the base for tulips.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers <br /></strong>Very pretty.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>He and his wife bought that for me—a pendant with the tulip on it. And they’ve travelled, not only just to Turkey. They took a group of students there, and they stayed in England this time three months, but they were only in Turkey for a couple of weeks. But they do take students, say, a group like 25 students and sponsor them included. Well, they get sponsors, but they get help. This time, they got a flat to stay in in England—that was last summer. He’s travelled a lot. He’s been to China, he’s been around quite a lot in different places. Travels a lot. She’s also a lawyer.</p>
<p>And then Frances [Bistline], our daughter, was born June 23, ‘53 in Sanford. And she has become an environmentalist and a magazine writer, and lately she’s been teaching school. She met Paul—her husband, Paul Stephen—at a church summer trip and went to Florida State University, lived in a co-op dorm, and then they married after graduation and moved to Naples[, Florida]. They lived there about 20 years. He’s a Clearwater guy, and he loves the water, so they did a lot of surfing, fishing, boating. You name it. And now they have moved to California, which I’m very sorry that they’ve done, but he’s looking for a new job, so they went out there.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh, wow. That’s far away.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Our next one was John Leland [Bistline], named after my husband’s brother and my brother. He’s a doctor of psychology, and he’s now working with insurance company. His wife is very, very sickly, so he has to stay home. Has his office there. He wrote a book. He met Kathy [Bistline] at Richmond University, at which time she was very, very into sports, and very strong. But she’s become ill with arthritis really bad now. They’re married in Virginia. Living there now. He’s really looking after Kathy himself. He’s her caregiver.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>And when was he born?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>He was born in 1955 in Sanford. And at that time—I have a picture of that old house that was the hospital in Sanford where they were born, he and Francie, and of course, it’s terrible, in bad shape. And when he was born, I had apparently just come out of a sleep afterwards, and they were going to bring him in, and they said they’d bring the babies in a few minutes. And all of a sudden, this rumble-rumble-rumble sound. And I said, “What in the world happened? My bed’s shaking.” And she said, “Oh, that’s just the elevator.”</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh, my goodness. [<em>laughs</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>And it turned out my bed was near the elevator shaft. Whenever anybody went up or down on the elevator, it made my bed shake.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh, I bet you couldn’t wait to get home.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>That’s exactly right. And then they brought him in and he was nine pounds and a half ounce and since you have a football player, I said, “That’s not mine.” Because Walter was only seven pounds and four and three quarters ounces, but they said, “Yes, this is yours.” So he’s a handsome young man and a big guy. He played football at Lyman, and as I say, they’re living there now. He’s in Richmond, Virginia, and Walter’s in Richmond, Indiana. Strange consequence.</p>
<p>Jane [Bistline], our baby, was born in ‘65, December 4, 1965. And she went to Florida Southern College, where we went. And she was homecoming queen in high school. She’s a fitness instructor at the YMCA [Young Men’s Christian Association] now, and she does personal fitness in the home. She married Keith Reardon and they have three children. Two are twin boys—Keegan and Kamden. They’re now six, and Khloe is age nine. They all start with K’s. All of my four children attended Lyman High School, just as their dad had. And I have five grandchildren altogether. I lost Fred about a year ago, but I stayed busy and I have an active life. I meant to mention my granddaughters, Katie and Addie, now in their twenties. They don’t have any children yet.</p>
<p>And one other little addition, I forgot to explain my teaching job sort of. I didn’t really go into that very much. But I did mention the old Lyman, when I had the base…</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Basement classroom?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Yes. Thank you. [<em>laughs</em>] That was first through 12<sup>th</sup> grades, but then they started building new schools, so I went home and waited. I was inclined—I kept taking leaves to have family, and I taught one year at the old Lake Mary Elementary, which is also now gone. It was about 1957, I think it was. Then I taught at Altamonte Elementary for a lot of years—I figured, around 1966, but I’m not going to be able to remember it for sure—until I opened my private school in 1985. And had that for 11 years, and then I decided to retire. I don’t think I taught after that. I may have gone back to public school. I don’t remember.</p>
<p>But anyway, I now serve on the Seminole County Historic Commission, and the Board of the Seminole County Historic Society, which I enjoy. And I’m interested in history, even though I hated it when I was in high school. That’s it.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Is that all you have?</p>
<p><strong>Bistline <br /></strong>That’s all I have.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Alright, well thank you so much, Mrs. Bistline.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>Thank you for being patient with me.</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Absolutely.</p>
<p><strong>Bistline<br /></strong>I was writing things and realizing how long I was writing and how much I was writing. And I thought, <em>This is terrible</em>. [<em>laughs</em>]</p>
<p><strong>Youngers<br /></strong>Oh, it’s fine.</p>

Georgetown was established by the city's founder, Henry Shelton Sanford, in the 1870s. The neighborhood spans along Sanford Avenue, with its commercial district between First Street and Fifth Street, and its historic district between Seventh Street and Tenth Street. Though originally much smaller, Georgetown spanned to its present boundaries from East Second Street to Celery Avenue and from Sanford Avenue to Mellonville Avenue. Georgetown thrived at its height from circa 1880 to 1940, particularly in agriculture and transportation.
