Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 9, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 9, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) St. Johns River (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Logging Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 9, 1884. In the letter, Trafford provided a number of updates regarding the City of Sanford, Florida. First, he included several land grant certificates that awaited approval from the federal government. He expressed hope that Henry Sanford's "influence would push up" the issue on the government's priority list. Trafford also informed Sanford that "all the hotels close this week so I suppose things will quiet down." He also informed Sanford that the company had made "as much these last three months as the whole past fiscal year," noting that sales had reached $16,000 over a three month period. Among other topics, Trafford also informed Sanford that logs were arriving in Sanford, Florida via shipping on the St. Johns River. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Alachua County (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 13, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for six land deeds. Five of the six deeds were in the town of Sanford, Florida or within close proximity to the town. The sixth deed, purchased by the Florida Commercial Company, was for land in Alachua County. The purchasers for the other five deeds were John Davis, Stephen J. Drawdy, Henry L. DeForest and E. B.

With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 17, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 17, 1884) Subject Polk County (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 17, 1884. In the letter, Trafford informed Sanford that he had acquired a "suitable form of deed for the transfer of the MacKinnon lands to the trustees." He added that the lands had not yet been deeded but that some sales were anticipated soon. Though the exact location of the MacKinnon lands is unknown, it is known that they were in Polk County and accessible by the South Florida Railroad. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A.

Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 18, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 18, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 18, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Henry Sanford's signature for four deeds. All four of the deeds were for lots in the City of Sanford, Florida. The deeds were for J. E. Pace, Emmett H. Herndon, W. A. Statton, and Frederick W. Ellis respectively. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford.

As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. William Beardall, meanwhile, was an Englishman who worked for the FLCC at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 24, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 24, 1884) Subject Alachua County (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 24, 1884. The letter appeared to be a response to an earlier inquiry by Sanford regarding deeds. Trafford indicated that "the deeds to the Alachua lands are not in this office - I think they must be in London." Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 24, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 24, 1884) Subject Gainesville (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 24, 1884. The letter provided confirmation that Trafford received fived deeds that he had previously sent to Sanford for signing. He also updated Sanford on the status of several land grant requests to the federal government, adding that "some of our patents [land grants] are at Gainesville[sic]." Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (May 5, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (May 5, 1884) Subject Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated May 5, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for two deeds, both in the City of Sanford. One deed was for Ida Gumpert, the other for George Blakemore. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (May 9, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (May 9, 1884) Subject Real estate--Florida Immigration Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated May 9, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for nine deeds, all for five acre lots of land within the Sanford grant. These lots were designated for Swedish immigrants who worked for Sanford. As Trafford wrote, "the above Swede Emigrants are men who worked out their year for the company as per contract." The original emigration of laborers from Sweden came in 1871. Growing frustrated by race-related violence between the local whites and blacks laborers, Sanford sought to hire foreigners to replace the workforce for his two groves in Sanford, Florida. In May 1871, Sanford brought 33 migrants from Sweden to work on his two Sanford groves, first St. Gertrude's and later Belair. The Swedish workers, 26 men and 7 women, cost Sanford $75 each. According to the work contracts, Sanford was to provide housing and rations for each worker as well as a parcel of land for those satisfactorily completing their one-year contracts, Sanford hired an additional 20 Swedes the following year, in November 1871. E. R. Trafford, meanwhile, was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford.

As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (June 16, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (June 16, 1884) Subject Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated June 16, 1884. In the letter, Trafford indicated that he enclosed deeds for H. B. Anthony, Eliza W. Travis, and Washington Pullis and he requested that Sanford sign and return them. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (June 20, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (June 20, 1884) Subject Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated June 20, 1884. In the letter, Trafford provided defense of his decision to have two different account books for the Sanford Telegraph Company and the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC). Based on the tone of the letter, it appears that Henry Sanford had questioned Trafford's managerial and bookkeeping decisions. The question concerned Trafford's division and distribution of company profits between the various enterprises in Florida, the stockholders in London, and Henry Sanford. Trafford reminded Sanford in the letter that he "will carry out the Resolution of the Stockholders which gives the [Sanford, Florida] offices the authority to settle these claims but gives no preference to either." Trafford was a company agent for the FLCC from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. As this letter demonstrates, his tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (June 22, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (June 22, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated June 22, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for three enclosed deeds, two of which were in the City of Sanford, Florida, the third was near Henry Sanford's St. Gertrude's Grove. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (November 21, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Nov. 21, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) DeLand (Fla.) Palatka (Fla.) St. Johns River (Fla.) Polk County (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Tourism--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated November 21, 1884. Topics in the letter included discussion of lands for sale and the need to set prices for the company's "lake region lands" in Polk County. Trafford also indicated that he was "a little alarmed at the burning down of our wooden towns - Palatka, Brunswick, Ga. - DeLand saw mill," adding that he was "taking every precaution here." Lastly he noted that "people are swarming into Jacksonville and all coming up the river - every prospect of a good winter business." Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Sixteenth Census Population Schedule for Election Precinct 3, Sanford Alternative Title Census Population Schedule for Precinct 3, Sanford Subject Orlando (Fla.) Census--United States Population--United States Description The Census population schedule for Precinct 3, Sanford in 1940. Individuals are identified by name, titles and terms, gender, age, marital status, race, relationship to head of household, birthplace, birth year, the last place of residence, and occupation. A notable resident listed in this record was James Walter Grady (1924-1945), who appears on row 15. A resident of Sanford, Florida, Grady was a private in the U.S. Army during World War II.

Grady was born to Meothel Grady and unknown mother. He worked as a farmhand in the Sanford area prior to his enlistment into the Army on September 1, 1943. Because he was an African American, Grady was assigned to a segregated unit of the 3126th Quartermaster Service Company. Prior to their deployment in France, the 3126th was stationed at Maindy Barracks in Cardiff, Wales. Grady died in France on April 5, 1945.

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

Tampa (Fla.) Music--Florida Rock bands--Florida Rock music--United States Rhythm and blues music--United States R&B (Music) Musicians--Southern States Description Part of a newspaper article from the The Tampa Times describing the victory of The Tropics, a Tampa-based band, at the International Battle of the Bands. The headline reads, "Tropics Win International Prize," and was written by Nancy Trice and Carole Newman. According to the article, The Tropics played "I'm a Man," "Misirloo," and "Black-Jacket Woman." The band one new equipment from Ludwig Drum Company, recognition as the house band for WLS Radio for one year, and the opportunity to perform with The Mamas and The Papas in Chicago on August 20th. The Tropics, also known as "The Bitchin' Red Band" when performing on the Pier in Cocoa Beach, were founded in 1964 in Tampa, Florida, consisting of Buddy Pendergrass on guitar and keyboard, Eric Turner on guitar and vocals, Mel Dryer on lead vocals, Bobby Shea on drums, and Charlie Souza on bass guitar and vocals. They were performing around the state and the Southeastern United States by the summer of 1965, opening for popular acts such as The Who, The Young Rascals, and Herman's Hermits. The band won the 1966 International Battle of the Bands at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, taking first place over 441 bands, including future successful acts like Tommy James and the Shondells and Chicago. This won the group a recording contract with Columbia Records, where they recorded the single, "Take the Time," which was played on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, and topped the local charts.

Title Sunken Gardens in Hampton Park Postcard Alternative Title Sunken Gardens Postcard Subject Gardens--United States Description A postcard depicting a view of the Sunken Gardens, which were built in 1901 for the Inter-State and West Indian Exposition, a business fair. After the fair was over, Charleston established Hampton Park, where the Sunken Gardens remain as a landscaped lake. 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. Type Still Image Source Original 3 x 5 inch color postcard BY Paul E.

Title Sanford State Farmers' Market Collection Description The Sanford State Farmers' Market Collection contains images of the market's history and its significance to local and state agriculture. The Sanford State Farmers' Market was founded in 1934 in order to provide a central location in which farmers would sell their produce directly to consumers. The idea for the Sanford State Farmers' Market was devised by Fred Dorner and Gus Schmach, both members of the Seminole Agricultural Club. The Sanford Chamber of Commerce president Harry Papworth also contributed to the development of the market. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) authorized construction plans on June 11, 1934. On June 20, 1934, the City of Sanford donated a portion of the Alex V. French properties to the Florida State Marketing Board, which selected the northwest corner of French Avenue and Thirteenth Street. The board approved the installation of telegraph and telephone equipment, as well as a three-pump filling station. The Sanford State Farmer's Market opened on December 18, 1934. By 1939, the Farmers' Market was bringing a total volume of business of $627,065.81. In 1941, business volume reached over $700,000. On April 4, 1957, a fire destroyed the building and caused damages estimated at $2.5 million. Reconstruction began almost immediately and the Farmers' Market was expected to re-open by the fall of 1957. In 1991, plans were created to restore, preserve, and convert the citrus packing house into a museum.

Transcript Seminole County Historical Society May 15, 1991 Mr. George Percy, Director Division of Historical Resources R. A. Gray Building 500 South Bronough Street Tallahassee, Fl 32399-0250 Dear Mr. Percy, On behalf of the officers, directors, and members of the Seminole County Historical Society, it is with considerable pleasure that I write this letter of support for the request. for a Special Category Grant for the restoration, preservation, and conversion to a museum of Unit 5 at the Sanford State Farmer's Market. Unit 5 was used primarily as a citrus packing house and is one of the original buildings in the first state owned farmer's market complex in the nation. We are currently in the process of getting it placed on the National Register of Historic Places in America. The proposed museum will bring to the attention of the public a portion of little known history of how projects such as the farmer's market system helped shape the economy and destiny of re¬gions throughout our state and nation. In addition, the anticipated exhibits will reach far beyond this in their interest level of the old tools, machinery and en¬gines of yesteryear. Should any additional information concerning the historical significance of this project or any part of the grant request be needed, please do not hesitate to call upon us to provide it. Sincerely yours, Cecil A.

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

Title Florida Citrus Exchange Collection Alternative Title FEC Collection Subject Florida Citrus Exchange Citrus fruit industry--Florida Chase and Company (Sanford, Fla.) Description Chase & Company was established by Joshua Chase and his brother Sydney in 1884. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford, Florida, and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century. By 1886, the Chase brothers purchased several citrus groves to expand their business, including Isleworth Grove in Windermere. Isleworth Grove covered a total of 1,300 acres along the Butler Chain of Lakes. Between 1894 and 1895, Central Florida was hit by several freezes and most of the citrus crop was destroyed. Chase & Company did not grow citrus crops again until 1904 when Joshua came back from an extended stay in California. Between 1894 and 1900, different types of pesticide equipment was created, including equipment driven by steam, machines, and horses. Randall Chase joined in the family business soon after his brother, Sydney Chase, Jr., did in 1922. Randall became the president of Chase & Company from 1948-1965. The Isleworth property stayed in the Chase family until 1984 when Franklin Chase, the son of Sydney Chase, sold the property to famed golfer Arnold Palmer.

Tyler to Chase & Company Members (May 26, 1919) Alternative Title Chase Correspondence (May 26, 1919) Subject Citrus fruit industry--Florida Chase and Company (Sanford, Fla.) Florida Citrus Exchange Citrus--Florida Description An original letter of correspondence written by C. M. Tyler to employees at Chase & Company in Jacksonville, Florida. Tyler's letter provides information about the internal organization of the Florida Citrus Exchange, a state organization comprised of a large number of Florida citrus growers. The purpose of Tyler's letter was to identify the weaknesses of the Exchange and to encourage growers to side Chase & Company rather than join the Exchange. While members who trusted the Exchange praised the organization as a united group of growers that promoted better distribution and marketing of their citrus products, growers such as Chase & Company were hesitant to hand over all of their power to a larger organization with poor marketing strategies. Chase & Company was established in 1884. The company sold insurance and later invested in storage facilities and fertilizer sales. Chase & Company was known mainly for its agricultural interests and maintained a series of citrus groves throughout Central Florida. The company was based out of Sanford and became one of the city's largest employers into the early twentieth century. Creator Tyler, C. M. Source Original letter from C. M.

Title Weeki Wachee Collection Alternative Title Weeki Wachee Collection Description Along with a group of investors, Newton Perry opened Weeki Wachee Springs to the public in October of 1947. At the time, roadside attractions were becoming popular stops along Florida roadways. The attraction consisted of an amalgamation of vendors, an orchid garden, a river boat tour, as well as the star attraction: a mermaid show that took place in an underwater theater. Eventually, the May Museum of the Tropics, an "abandoned Seminole village", a show called “Birds of Prey”, and a petting zoo were added. After peaking in the 1950s and 1960s, attendance began to decline as theme parks and highways changed the dynamics of Florida's tourism. The State of Florida took over the attraction as a state park in 2008. Since then, the park has focused on appealing to a modern audience while preserving its history. Subject Weeki Wachee (Fla.)

Title Newton "Newt" Perry Underwater With Female Swimmer and Air Station Postcard Alternative Title Perry and Swimmer Postcard Subject Weeki Wachee Springs (Fla.) Tourism--Florida Springs--Florida Parks--Florida Mermaids--Florida Perry, Newton, 1908-1987 Underwater cinematography--Equipment and supplies Description Original printed postcard showing an image of Newton "Newt" Perry underwater with a female swimmer some time between 1950 and 1970. Perry is partially seated inside a glass air supply tank. Newton "Newt" Perry was born in Valdosta, Georgia in 1908, and moved with his family to Ocala, Florida in 1922. He was a member of the swimming and diving teams at the University of Florida. Perry earned the nickname "The Human Fish" for his performances of underwater stunts in advertising clips and film shorts, and acted as a swim double for actors in movies and TV shows, including Johnny Weissmuller as "Tarzan." Perry also advised filmmakers filming underwater scenes at Silver Springs, Wakulla Springs, and Weeki Wachee Springs, and developed a system for breathing underwater using an air compressor and hose, which was used in the 1948 film "Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid" and during Weeki Wachee Springs' mermaid shows. Perry worked as a lifeguard, public school principal, coach, swimming and scuba diving instructor, and Ocala city pool manager. He opened Perry's Swim School in 1955, and taught more than 120,000 individuals to swim during his career. Perry was inducted into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame in 1981. Perry's daughter Delee Perry took over Perry's Swim School following her father's death in 1987, and it was still in operation as of 2020. Along with a group of investors, Newton Perry opened Weeki Wachee Springs to the public in October of 1947, and used his experiences working at Silver Springs and Wakulla Springs to develop the original concepts for its underwater theater and mermaid shows. Perry sold his stake in Weeki Wachee Springs in 1950. After peaking in the 1950s and 1960s, attendance began to decline as theme parks and highways changed the dynamics of Florida's tourism. The State of Florida took over the attraction as a state park in 2008. Since then, the park has focused on appealing to a modern audience while preserving its history.

Title Company G, 105th Infantry Alternative Title Company G of 105th Infantry Regiment Subject Veterans--Florida World War, 1914-1918 Description Photographs of Company G of the 105th Infantry taken between 1917 and 1919. 35 black and white photographs of men appear in seven rows. Below them is a numerical list of names corresponding to the photographs. A notable soldier featured is Charles "Carlo" Leonetti (1895-1994). Born on January 9, 1895, in Naples, Italy, Leonetti moved to New York around 1910. He enlisted in the United States Army on July 26, 1917, and served in Company G of the 105th Infantry Regiment during World War I. While serving overseas, he retained his presence in the art world and gained notoriety from his covers of The Masses, a journal published in New York. Discharged from the army in April 1919, Leonetti continued officers’ training in the Army Reserve. After his return to the United States, Leonetti became naturalized in May of 1920. Upon his return, Leonetti became a figure in the New York art scene. He participated in a variety of niches: photographing celebrities, painting, opening up a Greenwich Village-themed nightclub, translating “The Jest”, written by John Barrymore, acting in movies like Broken Blossoms, and dancing on Broadway. Leonetti entered the service again in February 1941. Discharged in August 1946, after five years of service, Leonetti reentered civilian life with the “Soldier’s Medal for Bravery.” That same year, he moved to Tampa with his wife, Mayme, where they maintained active involvement in the art community. Leonetti passed away on June 3, 1994, and is buried at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida.

Title United States Army Base No. 117, LaFauche, France Alternative Title US Army Base No. 117, LaFauche, France Subject World War, 1914-1918 Veterans--Florida Description United States Army Base No. 117 in LaFauche, Haute-Marne, France. The hospital was used to specifically treat psychiatric ailments, such as shell shock. Shell shock, known today as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), was a complex diagnosis relating to psychological war-related trauma. Originally, it was thought that a physical explosion from a shell caused the disorder, but as many cases of shell shock came in, it became clear that the disorder was the result of a range of traumatic emotional experiences. A notable soldier who served at the hospital was Jane "Jennie" Margaret Gadde (1888-1963). Gadde was born on August 17, 1888, in Ludington, Michigan. The second oldest of four sisters, she was born to immigrant parents, Nels and Carrie Gadde. The family lived in Ironwood, Michigan, where Gadde’s father worked as a foreman and her mother raised her and her sisters. The family moved in 1905 to Sanborn, Wisconsin. Gadde went to school at the Ferris Institute in Big Rapids, Michigan, and earned a degree in shorthand in 1907. She then worked as a stenographer for a building contractor. After a few years, Gadde changed professions, training as a nurse at the Illinois Training School for Nurses, where she graduated in 1915. She enlisted in the United States Army Nursing Corps in October of 1918. She trained at the United States Army Camp Base Hospital at Camp Mead, Maryland, where she was assigned to a psychiatric unit. She embarked from the United States to France in November 1918, serving as a nurse for roughly eight months in a psychiatric unit. She returned to the United States in August 1919, and was honorably discharged from service shortly thereafter. She returned to Chicago after the war, working in the Cook County Public Hospital until 1942. She enlisted again as a nurse in the Nursing Corps during World War II. She worked at Gorgas Hospital in the Panama Canal Zone until 1947, returning home and again being honorably discharged. After the war, Gadde moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, and volunteered for the Delano American Legion Post #122. She was also involved with the Panama Canal Society in Florida in the 1950s. Gadde passed away in September 1963, and is buried in the Bay Pines National Cemetery.

Title Individual Casualty Questionnaire Alternative Title Unites States Army Air Forces Missing Air Crew Report Subject World War, 1939-1945 Veterans--Florida Description The individual casualty questionnaire for the Unites States Army Air Forces on March 16, 1944. The Missing Air Crew Report was organized in response to the status of the 12th Air Force, 320th Bombardment Group, 441th Bomb Squadron, which left from Decimomannu Air Force Base in Sardinia for their target in Aquina, Italy. Eight passengers were on board and seven parachutes were reported to have been opened. Some were captured by the Germans and others were unaccounted for. A notable solider from the squadron was Terance Halligan (1922-1944). Born on April 3, 1922, in Northern Ireland, Halligan and his parents immigrated to the United States in the 1920s, settling in New Jersey and New York. After high school, Halligan worked as a longshoreman, loading and unloading cargo onto ships. On March 20, 1942, Halligan enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps, where he served as a navigator with the 320th Bombardment Group in the 441st Bomb Squadron. He served in the North African and Mediterranean Theaters of the war as a Lieutenant. After a mission off the coast of Italy on March 16, 1944, the right engine of the aircraft that Halligan served on caught fire and those on board parachuted off. While witnesses saw Halligan land safely on shore, the group was captured by Germans and his status thereafter is unknown. On August 18, 1945, the Army officially declared him missing in action. For his actions and sacrifice, Halligan earned an Air Medal with Three Oak Leaf Clusters and a Purple Heart. The Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida placed a memorial headstone in his memory. Halligan is also memorialized on the Tablets for the Missing at the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial in Nettuno, Italy. In 2017, the University of Central Florida was one of three universities selected to launch the National Cemetery Administration’s <a href="https://vlp.cah.ucf.edu/">Veterans Legacy Program Project</a>. The program engaged a team of scholars to make the life stories of veterans buried in the Florida National Cemetery available to the public.

A destroyer escort’s mission included escorting merchant shipping and protecting them from submarines. The USS Leopold was named for Ensign Robert Lawrence Leopold, who was killed on the USS Arizona on December 7, 1941. The USS Leopold launched on June 12, 1943, sponsored by Miss Helen S. Leopold, who was the sister of Ensign Leopold. After commissioning ceremonies on October 18, 1943, the USS Leopold was delivered to Galveston, Texas, for firing tests. It made its maiden voyage to the port of New Orleans, Louisiana. The ship completed its shakedown training in Great Sound, Bermuda, in November 1943. After completing crew training in December 1943, the ship deployed as a destroyer escort for naval convoys. The USS Leopold was hit by a torpedo fired by the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) U-255 on March 9, 1944. The ship was badly damaged and the crew abandoned ship. The USS Leopold remained afloat until March 10, 1944, when it officially sank south of Iceland during a storm. A notable crewmember of the USS Leopold was Francis Patrick Currey. Currey was born on August 9, 1924, in Buffalo, New York. On December 12, 1941, Currey enlisted in the United States Coast Guard, where he served on the USS Leopold as a Petty Officer Third Class. Currey’s duties included transmitting, receiving, encoding, decoding, and distributing messages obtained via the visual transmission systems of flag semaphore, visual Morse code, and flag hoist signaling. After the USS Leopold was struck by a torpedo, Currey was declared Missing in Action or Lost at Sea, presumed dead, in the Atlantic Ocean, about 400 miles south of Iceland on March 9, 1944.

Title 62nd Naval Construction Battalion, Company C Alternative Title 62nd Seabees Subject World War, 1939-1945 Veterans--Florida Description A page from a battalion history book, which documents the service of the 62nd Naval Construction Battalion, or the 62nd Seabees (C-B’s), during World War II. The book documents their entire service with text and photographs from each station and assignment. The page discusses the repair of Oahu after the attack on Pearl Harbor and the assault on Iwo Jima. The Seabees primarily worked in constructing vital infrastructure components during the war, such as communication network cables, water systems, naval yard pontoons, and airfields. A notable individual in this photo is Everett Farrar. Farrar was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 19, 1920. Completing high school around 1940, Farrar worked as a grocery clerk during the Great Depression and enlisted in the United States Navy in 1942, after Pearl Harbor. Farrar was assigned to the 62nd Naval Construction Battalion. He provided vital construction and infrastructure repair after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and eventually airfield construction at Iwo Jima in 1945.

(Dwight David), 1890-1969 Medal of Honor Description President Dwight David Eisenhower poses with three recipients of the Medal of Honor at the White House on January 12, 1954. Appearing left to right are First Lieutenant Edward R. Schowalter, Jr., Private First Class Ernest E. West, President Eisenhower and Hospital Corpsman Third Class William R. Charette. William R. Charette was born on March 29, 1932, and enlisted in the United States Navy on January 10, 1951. He was assigned to the 7th Marine Infantry Regiment of the Fleet Marine Forces Pacific, where he was deployed to the Korean Peninsula. He was nominated for the Navy Cross for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty in action against enemy aggressor forces, repeatedly exposing himself to enemy fire, sustaining multiple injuries, and evacuating and treating numerous members of his and adjacent friendly forces. His award was later upgraded to the Medal of Honor and presented to him by President Eisenhower at a ceremony held in the Oval Office. As the only active-duty Navy enlisted recipient of the Medal of Honor in 1958, Charette was granted the final decision in selecting which particular "unknown soldier" from World War II would be interned at the Arlington National Cemetery tomb in Washington D.C. The "unknown soldier" ceremony took place aboard the USS Canberra, and the unselected candidates received a burial at sea. Charette’s later career was spent in the submarine and hospital services, including service aboard the USS Quillback, USS Triton, USS Daniel Webster and USS Simon Bolivar. He began living in Florida while stationed at the Orlando Naval Hospital and Orlando Recruit Dispensary. He retired to Lake Whales, Florida in 1977, after 26 years of service, and passed away on March 18, 2012. He was preceded in death by one son, and succeeded by three daughters, and one son. On March 22, 2012, Charette was buried in with his son in Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida. His wife of fifty-eight years, Louise Fraiser Charette, passed away on March 26, 2016 at the age of 81 and joined the two at their burial site. In 2017, the University of Central Florida was one of three universities selected to launch the National Cemetery Administration’s <a href="https://vlp.cah.ucf.edu/">Veterans Legacy Program Project</a>. The program engaged a team of scholars to make the life stories of veterans buried in the Florida National Cemetery available to the public. The project engages UCF students in research and writing and fosters collaboration between students, faculty and local Central Florida schools to produce interactive curriculum for k-12 students.

Title Naval Air Station Sanford Collection Description This collection contains images of Naval Air Station (NAS) Sanford from its inception in 1942 to present day. The Naval Air Station (NAS) Sanford was commissioned on November 3, 1942, as a naval aviation training facility during World War II. The Navy continued to train pilots at NAS Sanford throughout the Korean and Vietnam Wars. NAS Sanford was temporarily decommissioned after World War II in 1946, and then recommissioned as the Naval Auxiliary Air Station (NAAS) Sanford in 1950, due to the outbreak of the Korean War and the ongoing Cold War. Soon afterward, the station was renamed NAS Sanford and redesignated as a full naval air station. On February 6, 1959, NAS Sanford was dedicated as Ramey Field in honor of Lieutenant Commander Robert W. Ramey. In 1968, due to lack of funding caused by the Vietnam War, Congress directed the closure of NAS Sanford. The City of Sanford assumed authority over the former NAS Sanford facility the year after it closed and renamed it the Sanford Airport, which was managed by Commander J. S. "Red" Cleveland. The airport underwent various name changes over the next several decades: Sanford Regional Airport, Central Florida Regional Airport, Orlando-Sanford Regional Airport, and its current name, Orlando-Sanford International Airport. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, several Naval buildings were demolished and new buildings were constructed.

Title Naval Air Station Sanford Collection Description This collection contains images of Naval Air Station (NAS) Sanford from its inception in 1942 to present day. The Naval Air Station (NAS) Sanford was commissioned on November 3, 1942, as a naval aviation training facility during World War II. The Navy continued to train pilots at NAS Sanford throughout the Korean and Vietnam Wars. NAS Sanford was temporarily decommissioned after World War II in 1946, and then recommissioned as the Naval Auxiliary Air Station (NAAS) Sanford in 1950, due to the outbreak of the Korean War and the ongoing Cold War. Soon afterward, the station was renamed NAS Sanford and redesignated as a full naval air station. On February 6, 1959, NAS Sanford was dedicated as Ramey Field in honor of Lieutenant Commander Robert W. Ramey. In 1968, due to lack of funding caused by the Vietnam War, Congress directed the closure of NAS Sanford. The City of Sanford assumed authority over the former NAS Sanford facility the year after it closed and renamed it the Sanford Airport, which was managed by Commander J. S. "Red" Cleveland. The airport underwent various name changes over the next several decades: Sanford Regional Airport, Central Florida Regional Airport, Orlando-Sanford Regional Airport, and its current name, Orlando-Sanford International Airport. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, several Naval buildings were demolished and new buildings were constructed.

The Naval Air Station (NAS) Sanford was commissioned on November 3, 1942, as a naval aviation training facility during World War II. The Navy continued to train pilots at NAS Sanford throughout the Korean and Vietnam Wars. NAS Sanford was temporarily decommissioned after World War II in 1946, and then recommissioned as the Naval Auxiliary Air Station (NAAS) Sanford in 1950, due to the outbreak of the Korean War and the ongoing Cold War. Soon afterward, the station was renamed NAS Sanford and redesignated as a full naval air station. On February 6, 1959, NAS Sanford was dedicated as Ramey Field in honor of Lieutenant Commander Robert W. Ramey. In 1968, due to lack of funding caused by the Vietnam War, Congress directed the closure of NAS Sanford. The City of Sanford assumed authority over the former NAS Sanford facility the year after it closed and renamed it the Sanford Airport, which was managed by Commander J. S. "Red" Cleveland. The airport underwent various name changes over the next several decades: Sanford Regional Airport, Central Florida Regional Airport, Orlando-Sanford Regional Airport, and its current name, Orlando-Sanford International Airport. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, several Naval buildings were demolished and new buildings were constructed.

Waterfront Districts Lakes & ponds Lake Monroe (Seminole County and Volusia County, Fla.) Sanford, Henry Shelton, 1823-1891 Description The docks at Palmetto Avenue in Sanford, Florida, in 1882. Sanford's telegraph office and Henry Shelton Sanford's company store are located at the base of Palmetto Avenue. Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) was an American diplomat, lawyer, and businessman. Born in Derby, Connecticut, Sanford eventually joined the United States Diplomatic Corps in 1849. During his initial tenure in the Diplomatic Corps, Sanford served as Secretary of the American Legation at Paris. In 1853, he was promoted to the position of Chargé D'Affaires in France. In 1861, President Lincoln named Sanford as the U.S. Minister to Belgium. During the Civil War, Sanford served as a fiscal agent for the U.S. Government and supervised the U.S. Secret Service in Europe. After his tenure as Minister to Belgium, Sanford played a role in the establishment of the Congo Free State, a vast colony in Equatorial Africa under the direct control of the Belgian King Leopold II. In particular, it was Sanford who lobbied U.S. President Chester A. Arthur to recognize King Leopold's colony, a move that sparked broader international recognition of the Congo Free State. He also served as a delegate for the American Geographical Society at the International African Association Congress established by Leopold II and held in Brussels in 1887. Sanford organized the "Sanford Exploring Expedition," an expedition that served to answer scientific and commercial inquiries in the Congo. Aside from his diplomatic career, Sanford was also a businessman and investor. He made several real estate investments in Florida in the late 1860s and early 1870s, the most notable being the purchase of the "Sanford Grant" in May 1870. The grant encompassed over 20 square miles and provided the basis for the town that eventually bore Sanford's name. Sanford was convinced that Florida would prove a profitable place to invest. Anticipating significant traffic and commerce by waterway, Sanford bought a land grant positioned on Lake Monroe along the St. Johns River. The city of Sanford thus became deemed the "Gate City of South Florida" - the southernmost stop along the river. During the 1870s, Sanford invested significant amounts of money to the development of his city - he built a wharf, several hotels, a general store, and a sawmill - all of which he hoped would spur investment and growth in the city. Sanford also developed several experimental citrus groves in his Florida city. The first was St. Gertrude's Grove. The second and more successful grove was Belair, developed in the early 1870s. Though Sanford never lived in Florida, he did visit occasionally from the late 1860s until his death in 1891. His diplomatic and business duties kept him preoccupied abroad, and most of his development in Florida was undertaken by representatives and confidants. Following the "Great Freeze" of 1888, Sanford's Belair grove was destroyed. Sanford was committed to rebuilding the grove and, in the late stages of his life, he committed his energies to his Florida investments. He died several years later though, and his wife Gertrude, in an effort to settle debts owed in Europe and elsewhere following his death, sold many of Sanford's properties in Florida. Abstract These are docks at Palmetto Avenue in 1882. In 1882, the riverboat docks at the base of Palmetto Avenue included the city's telegraph office and Henry Sanford's company store.

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

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

Title Sanford Looking Northeast from the Sanford House Hotel Alternative Title Northeast from Sanford House Hotel Subject Sanford (Fla.) Retail industry Description This photograph was taken from the porch of the Sanford House Hotel looking northeast. Sanford's telegraph office and Henry Shelton Sanford's (1823-1891) company store are located at the base of Palmetto Avenue. The docks at Palmetto Avenue can also be seen in the image. The Sanford House Hotel was built by Henry Sanford with the intent of attracting tourists and providing housing for would-be wealthy settlers to the city of Sanford, Florida. The hotel was joined by the Lake Monroe House, a lower-cost alternative geared towards laborers, both of which were completed in 1876. Facing the waterfront, the hotel was located at the intersection of Commercial Street and Palmetto Avenue. The Sanford House Hotel featured three stories—two of which included porches—and enough rooms to serve 150 guests. The hotel’s landscaping included flower beds and citrus trees. A boardwalk led visitors straight from the hotel to the shores of Lake Monroe. Rates for a room in 1884 ranged from $15 to $20 per week. The 1887 fire came very close to the Sanford House, and it was feared that sparks would add it to the destruction. What saved it were wet blankets which were draped from the roof and windows. The Sanford House Hotel was torn down in May of 1920. At the turn of the century, the Sanford House Hotel was the center of all major city events and celebrations. While guide books from the period often included positive reference to the hotel, it failed to attract many visitors. The hotel did not make any profit during its first years of operation. By its third year, the 1879-1880 season, the hotel netted only $800 in profits. The hotel continued to make meager profits for the remainder of the nineteenth century. Nonetheless, it served as a central point of focus during city celebrations during the period.

Dry-goods--United States Railroads--Florida Description The former building at First Street and Magnolia Avenue in Sanford, Florida, prior to the construction of the N. P. Yowell Building and Garner Woodruff Building. The building was named after Fort Reid, which was established by Colonel William S. Harney (1800-1889) on July 7, 1840. Col. Harney named the fort after Robert R. Reid (1789-1841), the fourth Territorial Governor of Florida. "Reed" is another common spelling used in Sanford. Newton P. Yowell first came to Central Florida in 1884 with his family. Nine years after arriving in Florida, Yowell borrowed money from his mother and friends and opened a dry goods store. Shortly after Yowell opened his store in Sanford, the freeze of 1894-1895 hit the community. Even though crops were damaged and many people left Sanford, the Yowell Store remained open and survived the hard economic times. After the freeze, Yowell began construction on a new two-story brick building that would become the new store.

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

Docks--United States Parks--Florida Hotels--Florida Description This photograph is of the waterfront on Commercial Street in Sanford, Florida. The Palm Avenue Dock is in the distance and the foreground is the park at the Sanford House Hotel. There is a century plant in the center of walkway in the park. The Sanford House Hotel Park, adjoining the Sanford House Hotel, overlooked the waterfront of Lake Monroe at Commercial Street and Palmetto Avenue in 1934. The hotel was built by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with the intent of attracting tourists and providing housing for would-be wealthy settlers to the city of Sanford. The Sanford House Hotel was joined by the Lake Monroe House, a lower-cost alternative geared towards laborers, both of which were completed in 1876. Facing the waterfront, the hotel was located at the intersection of Commercial Street and Palmetto Avenue. The Sanford House Hotel featured three stories—two of which included porches—and enough rooms to serve 150 guests. The hotel’s landscaping included flower beds and citrus trees. A boardwalk led visitors straight from the hotel to the shores of Lake Monroe. Rates for a room in 1884 ranged from $15 to $20 per week. The 1887 fire came very close to the Sanford House, and it was feared that sparks would add it to the destruction. What saved it were wet blankets which were draped from the roof and windows. The Sanford House Hotel was torn down in May of 1920. At the turn of the century, the Sanford House Hotel was the center of all major city events and celebrations. While guide books from the period often included positive reference to the hotel, it failed to attract many visitors. The hotel did not make any profit during its first years of operation. By its third year, the 1879-1880 season, the hotel netted only $800 in profits. The hotel continued to make meager profits for the remainder of the nineteenth century. Nonetheless, it served as a central point of focus during city celebrations during the period.

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

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title Jazz Collection Alternative Title Jazz Collection Subject Music--United States Jazz--United States Orlando (Fla.) Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of jazz in Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. The roots of jazz music began in the fields of the American South, as African-American slaves sang “call-and-response” work songs and “spirituals” to help them get through the brutal hours of forced labor. As Europeans immigrated to American cities in the late 19th century, they brought their musical traditions with them, and soon African-American musicians, such as Ernest Hogan and Scott Joplin, combined these styles with polyrhythmic African music, creating ragtime. New Orleans was an especially diverse cultural melting pot and became a place for musical experimentation by the early 1910s. European music merged with blues, folk, marching band music, and ragtime, creating a new genre called “jazz.” By the 1920s, the First Great Migration brought millions of African Americans to the urban Northeast and Midwest. Young, white Americans became enamored with jazz and blues music and the genre was soon being played on radio stations, at dancehalls, and in homes across the country. New York City, Kansas City, and Chicago began to establish their own styles of jazz. Big band swing became the most popular style of American music in the 1930s and 1940s. The most definitive feature of jazz is improvisation. The Great Depression forced many bands to cut down in size, leaving more space for intricate melodies and room for exploration. Bebop, which emerged in New York in the early 1940s, was aimed at a listening audience, rather than a dancing one, and became known as “musician’s music.” Bebop paved the way for Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz in the 1950s, when musicians, such as Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington, incorporated Latin rhythms by playing with Cuban musicians in New York. The popularity of rock music in the 1960s and 1970s led to jazz-rock fusion, which combined improvisation with rock rhythms and amplified instruments. By the 1980s, smooth jazz emerged, creating a commercial form of the genre that drew criticism from many purists, who felt that the musicians were more concerned with making money than creating art with substance. Although Florida might not be as closely associated with jazz as cities like New Orleans, Chicago, and New York City, it has made significant contributions nonetheless. Afro-Cuban jazz developed simultaneously in New York City and Havana in the early 1940s, and Florida’s Cuban immigrants had a profound cultural impact on areas like Miami and Tampa. Since its foundation in 1979, the annual Jacksonville Jazz Festival has become one of the most popular jazz festivals in the country, featuring some of the top names in the genre, such as Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Count Basie, George Benson, and Herbie Hancock. The Clearwater Jazz Holiday began around the same time and has also evolved into a major international jazz festival. In addition to the legendary Sam Rivers, who moved to Orlando in the early 1990s and continued to perform until his death in 2011, Florida has been the home to a number of prominent jazz musicians, including Cedric Wallace, Ira Sullivan, George Tucker, Nathen Page, Alfred “Pee Wee” Ellis, Jackie Davis, Rich Matteson, Jeff Rupert, and the University of Central Florida’s Jazz Professors.

Title "Imagination" by Ira Sullivan Alternative Title "Imagination" by Ira Sullivan Subject Orlando (Fla.) Music--United States Jazz--United States Description An audio recording of "Imagination," composed by Jimmy Van Heusen (1913-1990), with lyrics by Johnny Burke (1908-1964), and performed by Ira Sullivan (b. 1931) live on-air on WUCF-FM on December 8, 2006. A multi-instrumentalist, Sullivan was a crucial part of the Chicago jazz scene of the 1950s, performing with numerous artists, including a stint with Art Blakey (1919-1990) and the Jazz Messengers in 1956. He left the spotlight and moved to Florida to raise his family in the early 1960s, eventually starting a quintet with Red Rodney (1927-1994). Sullivan taught summers at the University of Miami's Young Musician's Camp, in which professional musicians and faculty from the UM School of Music instructed students between 7 and 18 years old in classical music, jazz, rock, songwriting, composition, and musical theater. "Imagination" is a 1940 jazz standard that has been recorded by numerous artists. The best-selling recordings were by Glenn Miller (1904-1944) and Tommy Dorsey (1905-1956) in 1940, but Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996) is considered by many to be the definitive jazz interpreter of the song.

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

Title Memorandum from H. Art Vedner and Frank R. Bakos (January 7, 1994) Alternative Title Memo from Vedner and Bakos (Jan. 7, 1994) Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Description A memorandum from H. Art Vedner, Controller of Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU), and Frank R. Bakos, Vice President and General Manager of the PGBU, regarding recent appointments in the unit in 1994. In 1983, the Westinghouse power generation business operation, starting with the Steam Turbine Generator Division, was taking shape in its new Orlando headquarters under the management team led by General Manager Dr. Stan Quick (under E. J. "Gene" Cattabiani, Vice President of the Power Generation Group). This series of letters, memoranda, and charts documents the changes in management leadership at the Orlando site from 1983 through 1998, when the Westinghouse Power Genration Business was acquired by Siemens. Following the announcement of the retirement of Dr. Quick in 1984, the management was led by the team of Bob Ractcliffe and Howard Pierce. In 1987, Tom Campbell was appointed General Manager of the Power Generation Technology Systems Division under Nat Woodsen and Jim Moore, Vice Presidents of the Power Systems Business Unit. In 1988, the Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) was formed under Frank R. Bakos, Vice President and General Manager (under Executive Vice President Ted Stern), and, in 1995, Randy H. Zwirn took the helm as Vice President and General Manager of the PGBU. He remained at the executive level for 20 years, through the PGBU acquisition by Siemens in 1998 and beyond to 2016.

Interview conducted by Daniel Velásquez in Geneva, Florida. Date Copyrighted 2012-10-12 Transcript Velásquez So this is Sharon Karraker Driskell. And this interview is about her memories of Sanford Grammar [School], which she attended for the fifth and sixth grade? Driskell Fifth and sixth grade. Right. Velásquez Around the year 1954-1955? Driskell Right. Well actually it was ‘53-‘54 combination, and then ‘55? ‘54-‘55 in the sixth grade. Velásquez And you were born in Kansas? Driskell Right. Velásquez And today is October the 12th, 2012 and we’re at Sharon’s home. My name is Daniel Velásquez. Sharon, can you tell me about yourself, your childhood, and your background? Driskell Well, my background comes that I came from a farm in Kansas, and we moved to Florida, because my father just couldn’t make it on the farm. We came down here, settled in Sanford, started school at Southside, went to Sanford Grammar School. I went to Sanford Middle School and Seminole High School. First graduating class from the school what they call the “new school” now. But I am a housewife, I worked in the Seminole County [Public] School[s] system in this, uh, that Keith Elementary—Winter Springs-Idlewild. My husband was a fireman at the [John F.] Kennedy Space Center. We raised two children here. Velásquez Okay. What were your experiences prior to coming to Sanford Grammar? Driskell Prior to coming to Sanford Grammar, I went to Southside. So I was—I lived very close to there actually. Basically two blocks away from there, and I would walk to school. So when I got to go to Sanford Grammar, I thought I was really doing good[sic], ’cause I was getting to walk a little farther away from Mom and Dad. So it was really exciting for me to walk to school. Velásquez Um, so you grew up mostly in Sanford? Driskell Yeah. Velásquez Okay. Driskell Yeah. I lived off of Celery Avenue. My father owned a business at the corner of [South] Sanford [Avenue] and Celery. It was a Standard Oil [Company] station, and I lived just across the street from there. And then we moved down on Randolph Street, which was way on farther south from there and—yeah. I grew up in Sanford, worked at [J. G.] McCrory’s dime store—Downtown Sanford— when I was an[sic] teenager. I mean Sanford’s just home, and I love it. I’ve always loved it. Velásquez Okay. Can you describe what your typical day at Sanford Grammar was like? Driskell [laughs] That’s a lot of years back. You’re asking almost the impossibility. I remember—the one thing that I did remember was the teacher that I had there. Her name was Miss Sharon. And there—well, I thought it was so odd that her name was my name. And it just—she was a very nice lady. A very young lady— young teacher. Um, we didn’t have a lunchroom per se, like they have today, where food was served to you—that I remember, because my mother always packed my lunch and I carried it with me, and I was a picky eater I guess—I don’t remember, I don’t remember that much back. But I remember the programs that we had and the auditorium upstairs. I had the first room that I was in was downstairs, and then the next year I went—I got to go upstairs to the first room on the left-hand side up there. And I thought that was really, really cool, because I’d never been in a school that had an upstairs before. And this was very awesome to me to be able to be into a big school, because the school, where I was raised—went to is in Kansas was a one-room school house first through eighth grade. And so that was really weird to come down here to Florida, and be able to go to a school that had separate rooms for separate grades, and then to be able to go to Sanford Grammar, and be able to go upstairs. That—that just was neat for me. But it was a just a typical day at school. I mean you get there, you do the Pledge of Allegiance, you did class prayers. Then you did your work, you went to lunch, you got to go to P.E. [Physical Education]. Outside, at the playground, was out in front of the school. You crossed the little—there was never a road there, but it was like a street, in front of which is there now. And you would go out—to the front was your playground. Lunchroom was in the back. It was just a wooden building that was built there. We went out and eat lunch out there. I mean just a typical school day. Except for when we got into sixth grade. Yeah. We had—we had to do the maypole [laughs]. That was awful [laughs], I didn’t really care for doing the maypole. You had to dance in—and I was not a small girl. I was on the large side, so skipping in to do the maypole was not my thing [laughs]. And the boy I was with was a little on chunky side too, so we really didn’t make a good pair to go skipping in to do a maypole. But I survived it. That was probably the most horrifying experience I ever had at Sanford Grammar. Other than that, it was pretty good. I didn’t have a problem with going there. Velásquez The maypole was a dance, then? Driskell It was a dance. They had a large pole, and you had ribbons that came out from it. And as you danced around it, you went in and out. I don’t think they do it at all anymore, I don’t know. But you would go in and out, and as you did it you were wrapping the maypole in the way that you folded the ribbons. And it—you had to learn to go in and out at the right time to make the ribbons come out smooth, ’cause if you did it wrong—and Lord knows we did it wrong a lot, because it took forever to get it down smooth—but when you got through you would have a pole that the ribbons would be wound perfectly like weaving, and they would lay just as flat up against that pole as you could. It was beautiful. And it was done to music. And it was beautiful, but it was hard. And it was the worst experience I think I ever did[sic], because I didn’t, I didn’t want to do it. And I couldn’t get out of it but, it was just very hard to do. And once you learned it you know it was easy then, like anything else that you learn today. But it was fun. I mean after it was over with it was fun, but not—not when doing it. Velásquez Okay. So what was a happy part? What was the happiest part of each day in school? Driskell My teachers. Velásquez Yeah? Driskell They, they—I had really some of the best teachers my whole experience in Seminole County. I’ve—one of the few kids—I think that I only had one teacher that I ever remember having a problem with, and that was in later high school. But my teachers—Miss Sharon. She sticks—sticks in my mind more than anybody, because she was so gentle and so easy to come up to and explain things to you and draw the good part of you out. The teachers were wonderful. It was just a very good experience there. Very good experience. Velásquez Do you do you know if Miss Sharon, um… Driskell I don’t know what ever happened to her. Velásquez Okay. Driskell I don’t. I would love to have known what happened to her. She was a beautiful person. Velásquez What kind of things did you do for fun in school? Driskell In school? Velásquez Mm-hmm. Driskell Well, I didn’t do anything to get in trouble. I know that. But we did a lot of art work. We had an art teacher, and we did a lot of art work. And—which that really was the one thing that I did enjoy, because I—later in life, painted pictures and did a lot of crafts and had my own business for a while and crafty partners. And so I—just doing crafts was my—was my—the art classes was my biggest thing that I enjoyed the most. I enjoyed making things. I still do [laughs]. That’s— but, you know, school was school, like any other kid would say. You still had the reading and writing and arithmetic. But they teach it so much different back then than they teach it today, because I can’t understand any of these things that the young people learn—try—they try to teach you today. I mean I’m lost. But we had basic reading, basic math, basic spelling. You know, and it—the teachers went out of their way to make sure that it went in and stayed. And to me, I think that’s lost, and we need to go back to that. To the basics. Velásquez Okay. What are some of your memorable experiences? Driskell The good ones? [laughs]. Velásquez Any. Driskell Oh, honey, I’ve been trying to think of that for days ever since you called me and, you know, it’s—when you go back that far it’s hard to pull up what was some of the good experiences. One thing that I always enjoyed was of course P.E. [physical education] like anybody else. I got out with my friends and got to play. But they had this round—I don’t even know what it was called, —but it was round and you’d jump on it and people would push you, and you know, and you just keep going around, which I dearly loved and I would spend all my P.E. time right there, so long as I could get away with it. But they course—they would make you play baseball and all of this other little games things, you know, but that was my favorite thing. It—when I got outside, I head right for that little—it’s like a tilt-a-whirl [laughs]. But it would just go round and round, and I would just love to sit on that thing and go. And it—it was fun. It was my—my favorite enjoyment. Of course, we had swings and teeter-totters and all these things that, a lot of them were built by parents that put ’em out there. And businesses that would donate to the school. But um, we just had a nice playground and I enjoyed that. ’Course you know your studies are studies so—and you know, enjoyable memories. It’s just hard to remember back that far to remember what you enjoyed. Being with my friends, playin’. Velásquez Speaking of friends, of your friends, do you keep in touch with any? Driskell Yeah, I do. Matter of fact, Bonnie Haskuns Brown is one of my closest friends. She lives in North Florida. I stay in touch with her. ’Course some of my friends have died. I used to be the head of taking care of the class reunions for Seminole High School—my class of ’61 —until I got where I couldn’t take care of that anymore. But yeah I stay in touch with a lot of them. A lot of them on Facebook, a lot of them on e-mail, and some of them just call—just call. But yeah, I stayed in touch with a lot of them. The only person, you know, I would like to know what happened with was Jim Jimenes, and he’s the young man that danced with me on the maypole. I don’t know where he went or what happened to him. But that I would like to know where he went. That would be neat to find out. But yeah. I stay in touch with all of—all of ‘em. Going to school that long with them you kind of develop that bond that you stay together. Especially when you start out 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th—all the way through graduation. I mean, I been out of school 51 years. A long time. Long time. Velásquez So most of these friends you had through Sanford Grammar and beyond? Driskell Yes, yes. I stayed I kept well Bonnie, and I have been friends for 50—54-55 years. And our kids grew up together. It was a lifetime friendship with her. And then I had another friend that passed away, but we stayed together for over 50 years. You—back then you built a relationship and you kept it. Not—not so much like they do today. Not so much like my children. They don’t have contact with the kids they graduated with. But back then, smaller groups—close into town, most of all the kids lived right in town and in Sanford and most of us walked to school. And that was because you see each other walking to school, you see each other walking home, you know you were lived in the close neighborhoods, you had, you developed a deeper friendship than where the kids of today do, where they get on a bus or a car or whatever, and go away. But we spent time going to school together, and going home from school together, so we were together most of our life. So you don’t lose those kind of friends, you keep ‘em. At least I did [laughs].s Velásquez Um, what was your favorite place in the school building? Driskell Favorite place in the school building. . . Velásquez Is there a place that stands out to you? Driskell Yeah. The auditorium always did, and I don’t know why. Um, ’course we did our class programs and stuff like every other school’d do, but it was so big. And I think that was because I had never been in a place that big. I grew up in on the farm and walked to school the one-room school, and this was such a big place to me. I was a little girl it was just chuckles everything about Sanford was big. I came from the country in a little town that probably had about 150 people in it to this big town chuckles to this big school. It was just fascinating to me. I liked the auditorium. Of course I loved the playground. And anybody loved lunch [laughs]. You always looked forward to going to lunch. But the auditorium was my favorite place. I loved going up the stairs. That’s—it’s such a weird thing to think about, you know, going up stairs. I lived in a—I lived in a two-story house on the farm, but it wasn’t big like this. And this was big, and it was fascinating to go upstairs. Stupid, I know, but that’s just the way I feel about it [laughs]. Velásquez So what were the other students like? Driskell Like me. Common. We—there was no—there was no upper class, lower class. All that changed when you got into high school. But when you—when you went to school at the Southside and Sanford Grammar and the middle school they were all—well they were all alike. Nobody had tried to impress anybody. We were just all common, average, peop—kids. ‘Course when you get into high school that’s when their personalities start changing and you start getting little clique groups that hang around together, but the kids at Sanford Grammar we were just a family of kids. We all got along. You rarely ever saw anybody get into some serious trouble. I don’t remember ever seeing anybody of my friends that got into trouble. I never got into trouble, ’cause I always knew the consequences at home. That made you change, watch what you did. But, um, they were just common kids. Just simple. Live simple. We all went to church. We all you know went to school. We all obeyed our parents. We had a great time we used our imagination rather than computers and stuff like they do today. I mean we were just common kids. I don’t know how else to say it. Velásquez What kinds of things were on students minds back then? Driskell Well we didn’t think of anything like the—the kids of today think about, because we didn’t think about politics or—or taxes or any of that kind of stuff we just—I don’t know what you would say we thought about, because I—I really can’t say that it was anything that we thought about other than making sure our homework was done, making sure we did our chores, making sure that we didn’t do anything that ticked our parents off [laughs] or the teachers. But I mean we really didn’t—factor in outside things into our minds at that point in our life. It wasn’t important. It didn’t impact us. We went to school. We did what we were supposed to do. We did—we went home. We did what we were supposed to do, and that’s it. We didn’t nothing impacted us. Velásquez There were no events outside of your normal routine that that affected your life? Driskell That affected my life? Velásquez At the time? Driskell You know, I can’t think of a thing right now. Probably a hundred things would come to me at another point, but right now I can’t think of a thing that impacted or changed my life in any way while I was at Sanford Grammar, because it was just an enjoyable time. I mean there was no—I had no problems in my life that made me have an impact on me. It was just good times. Velásquez And you weren’t aware of anything else outside… Driskell Not outside, no. No. The town was—it was a great town. You could walk to school and not be afraid of anything. You didn’t have to worry about —your parents didn’t worry. On Saturdays, we’d walk to the movie theater and paid nine to ten cents to get in. Paid ten cents for a drink and popcorn. But I mean, you—you could go to school and not have to worry about somebody messing with you or getting you going there. There was no problems at that period of time. You’re talking about the early ‘50s and it was just a beautiful time for children to grow up, and I was lucky to have lived in the time span that I did. I’m grateful. Velásquez You always felt safe? Driskell I did. I always felt safe. And I never—my father’s business was the corner of [South] Sanford [Avenue] and Celery [Avenue]. And I don’t know if you know where that’s at, but it’s— there’s a lot of black neighborhood behind my father’s business. Ninety percent of my father’s business was that. They were very nice to us. We had—Sanford was never known for having that kind of problems—racial problems or anything like that. Sanford was a beautiful, quiet, peaceful. People got along. People respected each other kind of community, and that flowed over into the school system. You had teachers that were respectful that did what they were supposed to was hired to do. They taught the children they made the children feel safe. I mean, it was it was the best time of life to grow up, because you didn’t have what young people have today hanging over your heads. It was just beautiful. I’m—I’m grateful for my years from Southside to Sanford Grammar to middle school to high school. I had the best time of my life and never was afraid anywhere in Sanford. I loved it. I loved school. Other than doing that maypole [laughs]. That was the one thing I didn’t want to do and that teacher was determined I was gonna do it. I learned it. And I don’t regret it, but I wish it was a memory I could click out. Now I loved going to school. I loved going there. I never thought I would be the type person that would—into my adulthood— would go back and work in the school system, but I did and I don’t know if that had—because I had such a good experience going to school from all the schools I went to the teachers that I had if that’s what influenced my life, I don’t know, but I loved working with children. The teachers I had loved working with children. Driskell And Miss Sharon was one that I just—I loved her. She was just so good at what she did. And if she was the one that influenced me, well God bless her, ’cause she did a good job. She did a good job. It was—it was a good experience. I have no complaints about my school years. Velásquez Miss Sharon—did she teach a specific subject? Driskell No. Back then you taught—you learned everything in one room. She taught you math, the reading, everything was taught in one room. The only time that you ever went out anywhere was music or P.E., and I don’t remember us having a P.E. teacher. Miss Sharon was out on the—on the class. I don’t even remember who the other teacher was that I had. Now isn’t that awful? Because she made such an impression on me, I couldn’t get the other one to come into my mind. But we didn’t have all the programs that they had—the teachers—that they had. The one teacher you had that was your homeroom school classroom and that’s where you went. And she taught you everything and she had set up a certain time slots that’s what you went into. And you had a book for every subject. And, we didn’t have the home, you know—we had homework, but not the homework. We didn’t have to lug our books back and forth to school and backpack—you were taught at school and what little you had at home was well you—like making a book I remember making a book at Sanford Grammar about my family and I cut pictures out of magazines and “this is my mom” and “this is my dad.” ‘Course they always looked better than your mom and dad did, ’cause you always tried to find—and when it came to finding one for you, you made sure you had a one that looked good and then all my brothers and sisters and I drew pictures of my house and all this kind of stuff. It’s here somewhere. I don’t know where packed away somewhere. But I mean you always that that’s the kind of homework you had. It wasn’t the kind of homework that that the kids have today. You know, all the math problems and all that stuff, because that was taught in school. And you didn’t do that at home. They—other things—other projects you did at home. Like I did one on Florida and I got a map and I drew— found pictures of alligators and all sorts of weird things, you know, to put into it. But that was the kind of homework you had. It wasn’t regular classwork. What you did in class math reading you did in class. Now you would have a book to read occasionally and book reports due on it, but it was most of the work was done in classroom, not—not at home. Not like not like they do today. Um, I’m glad [laughs]. Velásquez What does it mean to you to be a Sanford Grammar alumnus? Driskell What does it mean to me to be an alumni of Sanford Grammar School? It’s a good thing. It’s a proud thing. It was a good experience that I had there. I’m—I’m glad I went there. It—as I got older, I often wondered you know why they broke our schools up like they did, because now they go—I think it’s K through 5, but here we were broken up. First through—we didn’t have K—first through fourth, fifth and sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth tenth eleventh twelfth at high school. And it was just strange that they would break us up like that why I don’t know. But for me going to Sanford Grammar School was a good experience, because like I said everything was so calm and good. And you were with you were clumped with kids that your mentality was the same—fifth and sixth grade, you know? That was the same age bracket. You stayed within that age bracket group. You weren’t put in—when I went to Sanford Middle School, it was such a change going from sixth grade, which I was still a little girl to suddenly be pulled into junior high school, which they thought they were grown up. Probably I did too, but [laughs] it was different, because they think different. Uh, we were too old for the younger grades. The fourth fir—first through fourth grade, because to us those were babies. I mean we—we—we had—we’re fifth and sixth, we go to Sanford Grammar. We’re older. And then when the when you suddenly get to sixth grade and you have to go to junior high school you’re scared [laughs]. Because it’s it changes again. I think it’s a better way—to go, because they put these children together in schools that their mentality’s not the same. We were too old for these child—children, too young for these children, so we were in a good place. I had a great experience there, because I was comfortable with the group I was with. They were all we all thought alike. We all still wanted to play in our terms of play, and we were still little kids. So it was a good experience for me and I’m glad I got to go to school the way I did. I feel sorry after working in the public schools and seeing how fifth graders are in school today with the younger kids. They’re outta place. I realize money can’t put them where they need to be, but it was better for me, and I think it made my education better to go on like that. Now I’m glad I went to Sanford Grammar. It was a unique experience. Velásquez You mentioned earlier that you went to the school recently to look at how it has changed. What did… Driskell Well, the lunchroom’s gone [laughs], for one. Basic—I hadn’t been in the school maybe one time since I left there, and that’s been years and years and years ago. It was deteriorating bad[sic] when I was there. I went back over with my daughter. I didn’t get to spend as much time as I wanted to with Pam going around the museum. And I understand now it’s open more and I’m looking forward to getting to go, but it the work that they’ve done is remarkable and I hope that it can continue things like this need to be remembered. The children of today need to see that our way of life was not so wrong, that we had it a whole lot better than they do. Now a lot of people wouldn’t agree with that statement. That’s alright. This is my opinion and I’m giving it. I liked the way schools was set up, because I think the children got more one-on-one. I know I did. The school building—I’m proud to see it coming back. I’m proud that they didn’t tear it down and lose it. We’ve lost so much in Sanford. People just are taking history and throwing it away and it’s sad. I—I—as you can tell, I have old pictures and stuff here in the house. I—I like history. And I like the fact that they’re saving history in that building. All of Seminole County School systems are go putting things—excuse me—putting things into that building to be saved. I mean, that’s why I gave my seats to there, because I knew they would be saved. And—and the school system would the kids could go there and learn what it was like—learn what it was like to go to school in a small setting and see how people survived in Central Florida. I haven’t gotten a chance to go through it all the way, but I’m going and I’m looking forward to going and I’m glad they’re doing it and I’m glad to see UCF [University of Central Florida] taking a part in it and I think it’s great what you kids are doing. I’m proud of it. Velásquez Thank you. So you mentioned that you guys never misbehaved, but there must have been times when students misbehaved. Driskell Well, I—I’m sure there was[sic] some that were not as good as me [laughs]. True of that. I can’t honestly think of a time, ’cause course in my day, when I was coming up my father always said to me, “You get to trouble with school, you’re going to get in trouble with me.” My daddy was a big man [laughs] and I did not want to fight him. No way, shape, or form did I want to tussle with my dad. So I was programmed and I had three siblings ahead of me—two brothers older and a sister older than I. My sister went to—didn’t go to school at Sanford Grammar, because when we moved here she was already farther up. But I had seen them get in trouble with Dad and I wasn’t going [laughs]. There was no way I was going to be bad. Now, if there were some other classmates that got in trouble, I’m like the old monkey. I don’t hear it, I don’t see it, I’m not going to speak about it, because I don’t remember it. I really don’t. I was trying to remember the other day who the principal was, and I wish I had a list, because I don’t remember who the principal was. I remember Margaret Mitchell was at Southside, but I don’t remember who was Sanford Grammar. That shows you how much I went to the office. I stayed out of there and I had no reason to get in trouble. I guess I was classified as one of the “good eggs,” because I didn’t—I stayed out of it. I don’t remember anybody getting in trouble. Velásquez So you wouldn’t know what happened when other people misbehaved? Driskell Well, I—probably they—it would be the paddle, because that was part of the little punishment deal then. But I don’t know of anybody that got it, let me put it to you that way. It weren’t[sic] me. But I don’t know anybody that got it. But I know that the paddle was the form of punishment. You know, three. And—but, like I said, it never it never came my way. I stayed out of there. Velásquez What was the most valuable lesson you learned at Sanford Grammar? Driskell Study. And that goes back to Miss Sharon again. ’Cause if you did it right, you were rewarded. It wasn’t nothing but a gold star next to your name, and that meant a lot—that gold star. Simple, little, sticky star you stick and goop. That was it. That was like getting the million dollars, ’cause you knew that you were on the good side of Miss Sharon. But study was the biggest thing. I didn’t like to study. I didn’t like school. That’s why it always amazed me that I would go and work in the school system. I didn’t—I wanted to sit down. I wanted to read a book, because I wanted to read it, not because she was going to tell me I had to read it. And so she made it where I wanted to study, because she give me a reward. She would reward me with nothing more than a pat on the back and tell me how proud she was of me and— or give me that gold star. And as I progressed in school, I spent more time studying. I was never a great student, but I wasn’t a bad student. I kept my grades at a nice, good level. I wasn’t a braniac, but I wasn’t stupid either [laughs]. But she taught me that, and I appreciate her for that, because she made me feel like if you learn this, it’s going to make you better. And she was by far probably the most important teacher that ever touched my life, because she made me feel important. She made me feel like when I went to school, I was doing something right. And if—she just—she just hung with me for the rest of my life. I mean I appreciate what she made me learn, because it made high school, junior high school, everything easier, because she showed me how to study, and that’s the best thing I got out of the whole school system is she showed me how to make take it and apply it and that was what was important to me after I left. She was a remarkable teacher. Remarkable. Velásquez Um, are there any other activities that you participated in that you remember? Driskell We had our class programs that we did in the auditorium. Um, which you always felt so good doing it. But I mean, you know, we had little do—little plays and little things like that, but the only real thing that stuck into my head is that maypole [laughs]. I mean the other things were just common, everyday things that you would do. Like you would have a Christmas program for your parents, and they would come and see you perform, and you would have the little things there at the end of the year that you know you would be given an award for what you’d done in school. You know. Things like that. But it they were just the common, everyday things that you did back then. Ever—parents were involved more in coming to see the children doing things in the school. But that may—maypole—that was everybody—that was the whole community. I mean they there was a lot of— I remember lots of people there and I don’t remember exactly why there was so many at that particular program. It was all set up on that street out front of where the school is now and there were people, lots and lots and lots and lots of people. And I, eh—it was more like a community thing rather than a school activity. I don’t know what it was exactly, but I danced it [laughs]. And there was a lot of people there. And, and—but you know other than the regular programs—no. We all did the things that we were told to do and enjoyed them and never thought about ever having to go to history like this, so no. I can’t think of anything else other than what we did normally. Velásquez Okay, well thank you. That’s all I have. Is there anything else you’d like to add? Driskell I can’t think of anything that is profound in my mind that—other than the fact that I enjoyed I enjoyed Sanford and I enjoyed the school. I enjoyed the teachers. I am so grateful that my father moved us from Kansas and a farm to bring us to Sanford and to have the experience that I’ve had living in Sanford and going to school in Sanford and being a I don’t classify myself as being nothing but a Southern girl. I mean, I got sand all the way up past my knees. I’m here and I’m a Southern girl and I’m proud of it. And I went to school in Seminole County. And I—I’m proud of everything about that area. I have nothing to add. [inaudible] I have nothing to say. I’m just lucky. Thank you. Velásquez Thank you very much, Sharon.
