<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And then, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>At church.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Got married. Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Met at church.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>First Baptist [Church of Oviedo], and, uh, we moved to the Oviedo area then in about [19]60—67.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Something like that.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Or something like that, and, uh, built a small horse ranch out in the Black Hammock.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And Carolyn [White], uh, had horses, and a pony from the time she was that high, and, uh, always wanted to have one. So then we, um, started that and had, uh, stable there, and, uh, she started riding lessons and trained horses, and had about 50 students a week, didn’t you?</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>A long time, and then, it got a little too—more than we wanted, so we moved down, um, to Chapman Road, here in Oviedo, but we’ve been in this area since back in the ‘60s, and, uh, both our boys grew up here and, uh, went to all the schools here, and, um—and they have also stayed in Oviedo, so shows ya it’s a nice place to live.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah, Lars [D.] White is our son.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>He’s Oviedo fire chief, and Don White is our other son, and he lives nearby, but he’s more like standoffish, so [<em>laughs</em>]…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>So he doesn’t come to the meetings and so on, but he’s still a good person [<em>laughs</em>], but anyway, uh, here we are, and, um, we still love Oviedo. We still have eight acres, and we just love it, and I still teach riding and train horses. Keeps you young [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>We were here when, uh, UCF<a title="">[1]</a> was FTU.<a title="">[2]</a></p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And when they first thought about doing it down—building it down there, and we thought it would end up something like a junior college, or [<em>laughs</em>], you know—now, it’s what? The second largest…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>In the state.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>In the…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>United States.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>It’s unbelievable.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Yeah[?].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>So…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>But, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Anyway, there’s a lot of traffic on Alafaya Trail now.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>More than ever, and, um, it’s just grown and everything, but we’ve still stayed the same. We still do what we do, and enjoy it, and—and still love Oviedo. So that’s our story [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[inaudible]. So I’m just going to talk you guys a little bit about the changes you’ve seen in Oviedo, and then…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Just go from there, ‘cause you’ve been here since…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Well…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>The ‘60s.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, there were two-lane roads. There was nothing any larger than that, and…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah, Alafaya…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Most of ‘em…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Trail was.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Were dirt.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Dirt?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, the—Chapman Road, leading up to [<em>clears throat</em>] where our…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Mitchell Hammock [Road]?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Property is, was just, um—it was like a washboard road, and, uh, Oviedo was much, much smaller than—I can’t even give you the size of it, but, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>It was…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>It has grown [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>It was a farmers’ town.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, it was…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>They grew, uh…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Water…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>When we built out in the, um…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Black…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Black Hammock…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>clears throat</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Area, uh, they were growing cabbage, celery…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Watercress.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Watercress on large acreage, and that was the main, uh, products back then. So it has grown now, and of course, with the water situation like it is and everything, most of the farming has moved on out where more water is available, and watercress is down near Lake Okeechobee, where they do have enough water to take care of that.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>And lots of orange groves around too.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Lots of orange groves, which there aren’t a lot of those left. Uh, everywhere there was an orange tree, there’s a house now.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>But, uh, we still love Oviedo, but, um, we sometimes think we liked it better…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>We like less traffic [inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Less traffic, but we do have more conveniences, because here we are, so far out, and when you came from Orlando to Oviedo then, you felt like you were taking a day’s trip.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>But you weren’t, but, uh, it was, um—it was nice out here then, but it’s—it’s changed an awful lot. We do like the conveniences of a mall, and…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Publix right around the corner, and—in fact, Carolyn used to ride her horse from where we are on Chapman Road—rode all in the, uh, shoppin’ center area.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>We, uh, ran through Publix.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Used to ride right through Publix.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Right where the bank was, and…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Oh.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Uh, it—it has grown a lot, and we could take—we could go out the back of our property and, uh, take a, um, hayride and go all in through…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Ceme…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Where the…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>The cemetery.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, the cemetery that was there and the, um—where the shopping center is actually. So we’ve seen it grow a lot. Mitchell Hammock Road is, um, now—what is it? Six lanes?</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, it’s about…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Just[?]…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Three each way.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Huge [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And, uh, it was just dirt.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>So it’s brought conveniences. It’s brought a lot of problems, and so on, but you can’t get around it. You…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>You have to go with the flow.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>That’s[sic] about sums it up. Don’t ya think, Ed[win White]?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, unless she’s<a title="">[3]</a> got…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Uh, is there anything else you guys would like to add that you—I haven’t covered? [inaudible] you guys have givin’ me a lot of information already, but if there’s something you think you should add, feel free.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Well[?]…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Because you came in 1967 to Oviedo?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>‘Bout ’67, yes.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Um, what were you doing as a job then? Were you working as well?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>She would—actually, we had the horse farm.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>I was—I had, like, 40 students a week. I was—had a lot of business. I mean, everybody wanted their kids to have lessons, and I had adults in the morning, and I taught kids in the afternoon…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>In group lessons and usually had private lessons in the mornin’. So I’ve been doing this for a long time. Kinda know what I’m doing [<em>laughs</em>] by this stage, and I still enjoy it, and I think it keeps, um, the physical—the physicality of it…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Mmhmm.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Keeps us young. I mean, we’re outdoors all the time, and it’s, um—it’s just part of our lifestyle.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>And we live on a small lake,<a title="">[4]</a> and, um, it’s really funny, because when we were looking for property, I was so sick of Black Hammock and it being so wet—very wet. If it rained, it rained in the Black Hammock. We were just indulged[?] with rain, and we just got so tired of it, and so finally, we just wanted to get out of there, and get where it’s high and dry, and that’s why we came over to this side of town, versus being down in the Black Hammock, and we were lookin’ for high-and-dry property, and found it. One of my riding students told us that there was property down the street from them, and so we came and looked and bought it right away, ‘cause we just—we really wanted to be high and dry, and so we just, um—my business followed me over here, and, um, still teach and still trainin’. I just don’t give group lessons anymore, which I gave—I used to do a lot of that. So I still enjoy what I’m doing [<em>coughs</em>], and it keeps us healthy. So we still love Oviedo [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>During that time, we were boarding horses for the people that lived in town also, so—in Orlando and Winter Springs and, uh, Winter Park, and, uh—so that brought a lot of the kids out ever[sic] day after school. They would come out to ride their horses and take their lessons and so on. So…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>And[?]</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Both our—both our boys loved having all the girls coming out every afternoon…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>After school [<em>laughs</em>], and it kept the boys at home too.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Hm.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Because the girls came to them [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>And your—both your sons grew up in Oviedo and attended, uh, the Oviedo schools?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yes.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[inaudible].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Did they go to Oviedo High School?</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yes[?].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>And—and the grammar school.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Yeah, and, uh, we—we just fell in love with Oviedo, and we just, um, became more a part of it, being uptown now, not back in the Black Hammock, and, uh, so we’ve enjoyed it a whole lot. We enjoy church here and met a lot of friends in church, and you finally just grow into the community. That’s what happened to us, and we still love it, and we still love what we do. We still keep healthy that way. I keep telling him that [<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, it’s—it keeps me going and…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>It’s making me healthy.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>] Uh, and during that time, we were, um—she was taking care of the boarding and the, uh—and I was an IRS<a title="">[5]</a> agent, so I did that until I retired, and then, um—since I retired, I’m still doing the horses.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>That’s helping.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Not[?] doing me [<em>laughs</em>]…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>So…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>But we’ve met a lot of nice people, and we still run into ‘em occasionally at, uh, the grocery store or something like that, and—so it’s been an interesting life.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Lot of people ask us, “How do you keep so young?” You know, ‘cause we’re physical[sic] good shape, except for my neck [<em>laughs</em>]. So I had an accident, and, um, so I had neck surgery. So the past couple of years has been a little bit rough on me—getting’ over it, but I’ll get over it again. So anyway, we still love what we do. We still love workin’ outdoors. We—we just—I just feel like we’re blessed to have good health.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>I think when you get our age—I mean, goodness—and you’re still goin’ strong, and you’re still able to do physical work, you know, and I don’t think anything by[?] goin’ out and trimmin’ trees and doin’ all kinds of stuff, ‘cuz we’ve always done it, and livin’ on the lake, we had to keep the lake clean. So if—we’ve got that lake pretty well cleaned by now.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>What lake do you guys live on?</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>It’s, um…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Bath Lake.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Bath Lake.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>B-A-T-H.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>It’s kind of a funny name…</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Because it’s a smaller lake, but it’s nice, and it’s clear water and everything. So we’ve kept the lake nice and clean, and—and, uh, keep our property up and enjoy it. We—we enjoy our work. So I don’t know how many people can say that at our age.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And even though…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Oviedo is grown so in the traffic and, uh, all the houses [<em>clears throat</em>], we still, on our piece of property, have the deer coming through, um—going from one location to another, and they pass through our property most[sic] every night, and we have the fish out there, and we have all kinds of water birds, and, uh, we, right now are…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>We have…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin</strong> Going through the, uh, sandhill cranes, which have been coming through our property eighty[sic]…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Eight…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Eight years.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Eight or nine years.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>And they, each year, have a—an offspring, and so this year right now, they have a little one about that big. Well, [<em>laughs</em>] he’s grown…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Already in a week, and we have, uh, all sorts of animals around, and right now, there’s a, um, [great] blue heron—two blue heron[sic] that have built a nest in the top of a pine tree…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Down…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Down by the lake, and they have offspring in there right now. So…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>They’re huge. Blue…</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>There’s always something…</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Blue herons.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Exciting happening.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>They’re beautiful birds. They’re huge too. When, you know, they go up there and they build this humongous nest—I mean, it—thing is probably that big.</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah, it looks like an eagle’s nest. It’s so huge.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>And they—I know they have at least one—maybe they have two babies in there, but they’re quite noisy, and they’re raising them. So that’s our first for that—with the blue herons puttin’ their nest up there. So the blue herons just hang out at our place. We have eagles once in a while that’ll land, and it’s—it’s just interesting. That pretty well sums it up, I think, Ed?</p>
<p><strong>Edwin<br /></strong>Yeah.</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>Well, I thank you guys so much for talking to us and taking out the time to come[?] here.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>[<em>laughs</em>].</p>
<p><strong>Dossie<br /></strong>This is really nice.</p>
<p><strong>Carolyn<br /></strong>Thank you for inviting us.</p>

Description
A postcard showing ranchers branding calves in Adamana, Arizona. Now a ghost town with only four inhabited buildings, Adamana was once home to 30 families, and had a hotel until 1965 and a post office until 1969. It was known as the "Gateway to the Petrified Forest" because the Santa Fe Railroad stopped at the hotel and passengers stayed the night before continuing into the forest.<br /><br />This postcard is part of a collection of postcards kept by Lucile Campbell, a schoolteacher in Sanford, Florida, for 30 years. In 1931, she took advantage of a special rate for teachers and sailed to Europe, where she traveled for several months and is thought to have acquired many of these postcards. During the 1940-1941 school year, Campbell taught at Sanford Grammar School. Before her retirement in 1970, she taught at many other area schools, including the Oviedo School, Westside Grammar School, and Pinecrest Elementary School. Campbell used these postcards as aids in her classrooms to teach advanced subjects, such as Shakespearean drama. The collection, along with her other teaching aids, papers, and photographs, was later found at Sanford Grammar School after it became the University of Central Florida's Public History Center. Campbell's postcard collection and photographs provide insight into the life of a respected Florida educator.
