31 | | 36.4211 | bit of marbles. I | 37.3864 |
33 | | 37.7361 | considered myself- Oh! Horseshoes! I played quite a bit of horseshoes at that age. | 41.0503 |
35 | | 41.6331 | Um, marbles. I thought | 43.0879 |
37 | | 43.2791 | uh, | 43.7174 |
39 | | 44.7375 | was one of my best games at [that time, yes.] Mm-hm. | 47.4513 |
40 | DCA_int_01 | 46.3228 | [Oh yeah?] | 46.8870 |
41 | | 48.0714 | How did a kid go about playing marbles? | 50.2630 |
43 | | 50.7421 | [/inaudible/] | 51.9218 |
44 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 50.8354 | [Well, we] | 51.8146 |
45 | | 52.1456 | drew a circle, and uh, | 54.1328 |
47 | | 54.7988 | I think you had to knock out the- | 57.0405 |
49 | | 57.3763 | j- break the pile- break the bunch, and then you uh, | 61.0739 |
51 | | 61.8200 | knocked out individual | 63.2644 |
53 | | 63.7307 | marbles, that you wanted. Eh- as I remember. Now, this is- been quite a little while ago, so I don't uh- | 69.5068 |
55 | | 70.2949 | [I had a favorite.] | 71.4186 |
56 | DCA_int_01 | 70.3088 | [Were the marbles outside?] | 71.4932 |
57 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 71.6564 | Pardon? | 71.9782 |
58 | DCA_int_01 | 71.9968 | Were the marbles outside of the circle? | 73.6242 |
59 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 73.6708 | Marbles were inside the circle, yes. Mm-hm. | 76.1736 |
61 | | 76.8917 | Uh, there were um- | 78.1181 |
63 | | 79.7396 | /they/ always had a favorite | 81.1711 |
65 | | 81.3576 | uh, | 81.8099 |
67 | | 82.8358 | shooter. Uh- uh- | 83.8616 |
69 | | 84.0761 | and I remember having favorite marbles that I tried to keep you know, when I put 'em in the ring. | 88.8924 |
71 | | 90.4584 | But other than that, I don't remember | 92.4444 |
73 | | 92.6216 | too much about | 93.3723 |
75 | | 93.5122 | um- | 93.7773 |
76 | DCA_int_01 | 94.0337 | Was there a special name for your favorite shooter? | 96.6310 |
77 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 97.6370 | No, I remember it was blue. It- and it sparkled. Yeah (laughing), but other than that, I don't remember. | 103.1066 |
78 | DCA_int_01 | 103.2884 | There wasn't a general name for everybody's favorite shooter /that you recall/? | 106.7891 |
79 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 108.2346 | I can't remember, no. | 109.8154 |
80 | DCA_int_01 | 110.4017 | How about a glass marble? | 111.8332 |
82 | | 113.3440 | Is there a different name? | 114.4584 |
83 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 114.7755 | Yes, I did have a uh- | 117.0778 |
85 | | 117.9405 | seems I did have one particular one that uh, | 121.5212 |
87 | | 122.2945 | was uh, | 123.1058 |
89 | | 124.0617 | sort of a | 125.0736 |
91 | | 125.2554 | China type | 126.0201 |
93 | | 126.5284 | marble, but I /and here again/ I don't remember what we- I called it | 129.9358 |
95 | | 130.1363 | at that time. | 130.9756 |
97 | | 131.5538 | It was very important to me at the time, but I don't remember now what it- just what it was. | 135.5255 |
98 | DCA_int_01 | 136.2342 | Did anybody ever use these uh, | 138.1787 |
100 | | 139.2745 | m- metal ball bearings for a marble? | 141.9925 |
101 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 142.2396 | No, I don't remember anybody using those. | 144.6457 |
103 | | 145.0180 | No. | 145.3724 |
104 | DCA_int_01 | 147.3017 | Around New York, they sometimes use that. Call 'em stealies. | 150.5564 |
105 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 150.6869 | Oh. [Is that right?] | 151.8014 |
106 | DCA_int_01 | 151.2791 | [Stealie.] | 151.8200 |
107 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 152.2956 | No- Yeah! Oh yeah. I do remember hearing that, but I don't remember the significance of it. I didn't remember the significance /of it/. | 158.6309 |
108 | DCA_int_01 | 158.5750 | /?/ it's a ball bearing. | 159.5908 |
109 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 159.5022 | Mm-hm. | 159.8705 |
110 | DCA_int_01 | 160.6959 | What about Hide and Seek? How would you /go about/ playing that? | 163.2045 |
111 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 163.1905 | Well, we played that quite a bit, now. | 165.5022 |
112 | | 166.1596 | I lived in um, | 167.3627 |
114 | | 168.1460 | two areas of Washington. One uh, in the Anacostia area | 171.7400 |
116 | | 172.3182 | and also in the Northwest near Sibley Hospital off of- off Capital Street. | 177.6234 |
118 | | 178.2669 | And in Anacostia, of course, you played it one way. You had uh, open woods. You had uh, | 183.6195 |
120 | | 184.4627 | houses um, | 185.7357 |
122 | | 186.7763 | apart. | 187.3444 |
124 | | 187.5729 | You can go around the houses and around the garages and the sheds and what have you. | 192.5610 |
126 | | 193.1765 | And big trees to hide behind, but in uh, | 196.0664 |
128 | | 196.3322 | course, living in town, you | 198.0535 |
130 | | 198.6216 | hide- hid behind automobiles and um, | 201.3436 |
132 | | 201.9125 | in the alleys, and | 203.1622 |
134 | | 203.6051 | um, | 204.0947 |
136 | | 204.7149 | under the steal | 206.5610 |
138 | | 206.7428 | steps uh, you know, the iron steps. We had iron steps on our house. And- | 210.7623 |
140 | | 211.6195 | in that general area. I think uh, | 213.6281 |
142 | | 213.9172 | most of the houses had the iron stairways and the vestibules. /Up in the uh/ | 218.1977 |
144 | | 218.5976 | area where you's going into the uh, | 220.1083 |
146 | | 220.5560 | basement. | 221.0129 |
148 | | 221.6618 | And uh, | 222.3939 |
150 | | 223.9875 | oh, we had these couple of big apartment houses and- | 227.3067 |
152 | | 227.6844 | that had many little shoots where the- had coal and what have you. We could hide around the behind the- | 232.7565 |
153 | DCA_int_01 | 232.7798 | /inaudible/ | 233.3207 |
154 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 233.3207 | yeah (laughing). | 234.2440 |
155 | | 234.9480 | But um, | 235.9086 |
157 | | 236.7841 | at uh, I don't know- We had a paper | 239.5390 |
159 | | 240.4072 | plant somewhere near | 241.7357 |
161 | | 242.3085 | North Capital and Elm, | 243.7959 |
163 | | 244.0571 | and uh, | 244.5933 |
165 | | 244.9896 | they had skid boxes or skids. Things of that sort in that area, and we used to use those for | 250.8505 |
167 | | 251.7170 | uh, hiding behind and what have you. | 254.2863 |
168 | DCA_int_01 | 254.9426 | Mm-hm. | 255.4602 |
170 | | 256.1270 | Now pretend for a minute that I'm a foreigner, and I've never heard of Hide and Go Seek. | 259.8888 |
171 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 260.1779 | Mm-hm. | 260.6022 |
172 | DCA_int_01 | 260.8307 | How would you tell me how you play it, s- | 262.6080 |
174 | | 263.4333 | start to finish? | 264.4351 |
175 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 264.8688 | Well, first you um, | 266.7000 |
177 | | 267.0592 | I don't remember exactly how we decided who- | 270.1367 |
179 | | 270.4538 | I think we had to race for a | 271.8946 |
181 | | 272.1600 | tree. | 272.6069 |
183 | | 273.0405 | You race for a tree, and uh, | 275.2321 |
185 | | 275.5911 | whoever hits the tree first is | 277.4419 |
187 | | 277.6424 | it. | 277.8289 |
189 | | 278.7038 | And then after the um, | 280.7753 |
191 | | 282.0778 | this beginning, | 283.4893 |
193 | | 283.6927 | um, | 284.3154 |
195 | | 284.6475 | the person hides their | 285.8619 |
197 | | 286.0904 | eyes or the- | 287.5233 |
199 | | 287.7225 | close their eyes against the tree | 289.8189 |
201 | | 290.5828 | and counts to | 292.0531 |
203 | | 292.5474 | twenty one, I believe. | 293.6786 |
205 | | 294.0771 | Or ten. I don't remember the number. And then um, | 297.2891 |
207 | | 298.0572 | from there, you | 299.6721 |
209 | | 300.0125 | would proceed to | 301.1167 |
211 | | 301.5277 | try to locate | 302.4690 |
213 | | 302.7222 | or try to find the | 304.5073 |
215 | | 304.7564 | individuals | 306.0225 |
217 | | 306.3131 | that are hiding. | 307.4921 |
218 | DCA_int_01 | 308.1511 | They hide while your- | 309.1931 |
219 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 309.3799 | While you uh, holding- closing your eyes. | 312.1048 |
221 | | 312.9905 | And of course, uh, if you can make it back to the tree, | 316.1621 |
223 | | 316.7931 | I- I might be wrong. But I'm- d- I'm- This is vague. | 319.8515 |
225 | | 320.6320 | Um, | 321.1841 |
227 | | 321.3917 | if you make it back to the tree before the person that uh, | 324.6951 |
229 | | 324.9773 | um, | 325.4298 |
231 | | 326.4178 | you find, | 327.3187 |
233 | | 327.7836 | you um, | 328.7758 |
235 | | 329.5676 | that person will be it next time. In other words, | 331.9546 |
237 | | 332.0501 | uh, he's out. | 333.1112 |
238 | DCA_int_01 | 333.2977 | Mm. | 333.6152 |
239 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 333.8508 | And uh, if this is the- as I said- this is a- | 337.1528 |
241 | | 337.5305 | long time [ago since I played it. <laugh>] | 339.4259 |
242 | DCA_int_01 | 338.0187 | [/It's hard to remember/.] | 339.2184 |
243 | | 340.0269 | These kids game. | 341.2598 |
244 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 341.3304 | [Mm-hm.] | 341.8119 |
245 | DCA_int_01 | 341.3843 | [That's] good. | 342.1980 |
246 | | 344.8870 | Uh, was there any- uh- uh- Did a person want to be it? Or did- was that a bad thing? | 349.3870 |
247 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 350.2712 | Um, most | 351.1672 |
249 | | 351.3703 | of the time, as far as I can remember, uh, | 354.3468 |
251 | | 355.1179 | it was more fun to hide than it was to be it. | 357.1686 |
252 | DCA_int_01 | 357.1765 | Mm-hm. | 357.7332 |
253 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 357.9989 | But uh, of course, some people didn't mind as much as others, if I can remember, but uh, | 363.3779 |
255 | | 364.4946 | it wasn't a s- | 365.2667 |
257 | | 366.1747 | stigma or anything of that sort. You just tried not to get caught. | 369.9650 |
259 | | 370.1061 | /?/ | 370.5379 |
261 | | 371.0028 | more or less. | 371.5259 |
263 | | 372.6125 | [Mm.] | 372.8533 |
264 | DCA_int_01 | 372.6208 | [Did you] ever use any rhymes to decide who was it? | 375.6222 |
265 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 376.8250 | [No.] | 377.8960 |
266 | DCA_int_01 | 377.4975 | [One potato], two potato? | 379.1746 |
267 | | 379.6271 | Engine Engine, or? | 381.0552 |
268 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 381.2046 | Uh, | 381.9851 |
269 | DCA_int_01 | 381.8429 | /inaudible/ | 382.9531 |
270 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 384.1842 | no, I can't remember that, you know, we might have, but- but- you know, on different occasions but I don't remember. I think it was most of the time, it was racing for the- | 392.4650 |
271 | DCA_int_01 | 392.8874 | Racing for the-? | 393.3275 |
272 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 393.8298 | uh, tree, or lamp post, or | 395.9345 |
274 | | 397.5742 | whatever the object was that we used for | 399.6779 |
276 | | 401.8250 | base. | 402.3846 |
278 | | 403.9403 | Mm. | 404.3471 |
279 | DCA_int_01 | 404.7207 | Did- was there any other | 406.3273 |
281 | | 406.7631 | games that you played as you grew up older than that? | 409.4645 |
283 | | 410.5190 | Was it more athletics or? | 411.9388 |
284 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 412.2667 | No. | 412.6113 |
286 | | 412.7773 | Well I played quite a bit of basketball in uh, | 415.5037 |
288 | | 416.0807 | my | 416.5332 |
290 | | 416.7657 | growing years. We used to play in a | 418.9036 |
292 | | 419.8003 | little park up in- on New York Avenue. New York and uh | 422.9543 |
294 | | 423.9672 | First Street. | 424.6220 |
296 | | 425.5519 | And we um, | 426.6737 |
298 | | 426.8975 | played | 427.3993 |
300 | | 428.1672 | baseball and, we weren't supposed to, but we played baseball. And then we um, | 433.4550 |
302 | | 435.0408 | we played baseball in the parking lot behind the paper | 438.8136 |
303 | DCA_int_01 | 439.2798 | Mm-hm. | 439.6575 |
304 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 439.9050 | uh, place. And then we played it on the playground. | 442.9054 |
305 | DCA_int_01 | 443.2235 | [Mm-hm.] | 443.5965 |
306 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 443.2541 | [And] then uh, we'd | 444.2338 |
307 | | 445.0599 | j- I competed for track, and I think for awhile boxing was quite a thing. | 450.4058 |
308 | DCA_int_01 | 450.6631 | Mm-hm. | 451.0451 |
309 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 451.0783 | Um, | 451.6885 |
311 | | 451.9407 | twelve, thirteen, I think uh, we went through a period of uh, | 455.3614 |
313 | | 455.9675 | learning how to box at that time. We had some /money/- um, | 459.4037 |
315 | | 460.8442 | /Mighty Mel/ I think was uh quite active at that time. And he used to uh, | 465.9700 |
317 | | 466.4931 | train. He was in a wheelchair himself and he used to train young fellas to box. He has one very famous boxer here, uh, | 473.4081 |
319 | | 473.7599 | /Mugsy Hersey/. | 474.7480 |
321 | | 474.8476 | Um, /??/ | 475.5575 |
323 | | 476.1179 | you heard that name, but anyhow. | 477.9403 |
325 | | 478.8775 | Quite a few people trained under him, | 480.6916 |
327 | | 480.9490 | and he used to go around to the different playgrounds, | 483.4854 |
328 | DCA_int_01 | 483.5601 | Mm-hm. | 483.9669 |
329 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 484.0033 | and | 484.3520 |
331 | | 485.5600 | I remember | 486.6227 |
333 | | 487.7726 | getting socked in the eye, [/unintelligible/] something of that sort several times. | 491.2213 |
334 | DCA_int_01 | 489.0502 | <laugh> | 489.4487 |
335 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 491.5701 | I didn't particularly like boxing too much. However, I did | 494.2725 |
337 | | 494.7448 | uh, practice quite a bit or go up and train. | 497.3891 |
339 | | 497.8831 | Be- Use the uh, | 499.4648 |
341 | | 500.2608 | medicine ball I guess you call it. [And it] uh, strengthened the muscles in your stomach. | 504.6934 |
342 | DCA_int_01 | 501.8632 | [Mm-hm.] | 502.2617 |
343 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 505.7104 | And then I did a little tumbling, and | 507.4042 |
345 | | 507.5868 | little later years, I had a couple friends that were interested in tumbling, and uh, we | 512.5051 |
347 | | 513.1568 | used to tumble. | 514.0742 |
349 | | 515.2325 | I had quite a few trains, and um, | 517.6004 |
351 | | 518.5610 | and | 518.8221 |
353 | | 519.0755 | I made aeroplanes and things of that sort. I can remember doing that through the years. Uh, | 523.3877 |
355 | | 523.6243 | trains and aeroplanes, and | 525.4982 |
357 | | 526.0943 | we made the planes out of the balsa wood. | 528.7709 |
358 | DCA_int_01 | 528.8000 | Yeah. | 529.2815 |
359 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 529.2857 | Things of that sort. | 530.3899 |
360 | DCA_int_01 | 531.4775 | Did you /play in art/? | 532.8589 |
361 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 532.8796 | Well it did, and it got quite expensive and /crazy/ (laughing). | 535.9101 |
363 | | 536.7320 | But um, | 537.6649 |
365 | | 538.7665 | generally, we had | 540.7073 |
367 | | 542.0364 | uh, kites. I can remember playing with qu- quite- kites | 545.5722 |
369 | | 545.9276 | quite a bit. | 546.4482 |
371 | | 547.3490 | And um, | 548.3483 |
373 | | 550.1210 | we had an area down on um, | 552.1344 |
375 | | 552.9968 | right on Anacostia River | 554.7030 |
377 | | 554.8566 | that uh, we | 555.7907 |
379 | | 556.1062 | did quite a bit | 557.2851 |
381 | | 557.6504 | as far as kite flying and | 559.3498 |
383 | | 560.4681 | things of that sort. | 561.7966 |
384 | DCA_int_01 | 562.4039 | Mm-hm. | 562.7680 |
385 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 562.7638 | Mm-hm. | 563.2288 |
386 | DCA_int_01 | 563.8587 | Good. | 564.2323 |
388 | | 564.8426 | That's quite a run down. | 566.1129 |
389 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 566.0838 | Mm-hm. | 566.5820 |
390 | DCA_int_01 | 566.8352 | /Delved in/ a lot of things. | 568.1346 |
391 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 568.1429 | Yeah. | 568.5621 |
392 | DCA_int_01 | 568.6161 | Um, | 569.0146 |
394 | | 569.9103 | do you watch television? | 571.1806 |
395 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 572.1727 | Occasionally. Yes, mm-hm. | 573.9619 |
396 | DCA_int_01 | 574.0699 | Do you have any favorite programs? | 575.9162 |
397 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 576.5679 | Mm- I don't- | 577.1076 |
398 | DCA_int_01 | 577.1616 | Show that you particularly like? | 578.6353 |
399 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 578.6685 | Well, I was watching Ironside there for awhile. I used to watch Perry Mason, | 582.3621 |
401 | | 583.0922 | uh, regularly. I haven't watched that for quite some time now. I don't even know when it's on now. | 587.7785 |
403 | | 588.2767 | Uh, now we have the comedy shows. Jonathan Winner- Winters, that uh, I watch mainly because uh, someone else is watching them and I happen to be there. | 596.3418 |
405 | | 596.9467 | Um, | 597.6026 |
407 | | 599.4623 | the uh- | 600.6164 |
409 | | 602.0185 | overall, I don't | 603.1892 |
411 | | 603.4756 | um, have a program that I have to see every week. | 607.3124 |
413 | | 607.3893 | I used to, at one time. Gun Smoke and things of that sort. | 610.7199 |
415 | | 611.2583 | But uh, now I maybe watch about three hours of television a week at the most. | 615.7323 |
416 | DCA_int_01 | 615.6867 | Oh. | 616.0354 |
417 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 616.7120 | Mm-hm. | 617.1442 |
418 | DCA_int_01 | 618.1307 | Cut it down a little huh? | 619.2599 |
419 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 619.2848 | Yeah. /That's right/. | 620.1109 |
420 | DCA_int_01 | 619.6890 | Um, | 620.1941 |
421 | | 620.9702 | is there an adventure story or anything that | 623.8670 |
423 | | 624.3899 | with a story in it that you can /?/ relate? | 627.2169 |
425 | | 628.0544 | See, what I'm after is I would like you to tell me an episode | 630.6697 |
427 | | 631.7408 | of a- a story like Gun Smoke or Perry Mason. | 634.9072 |
428 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 637.8546 | No, um, | 639.1569 |
430 | | 639.6718 | in uh, | 640.4108 |
432 | | 643.6280 | I remember one Alfred Hitchcock [<laugh> but uh, well, that] was I thought it was interesting because of the um, | 651.1357 |
433 | DCA_int_01 | 646.4997 | [Yeah? Tell me /about that one/.] | 648.3519 |
434 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 651.9825 | irony in the | 653.2528 |
436 | | 653.3898 | show. I don't know whether you remember seeing this or not but it was case of a | 657.6189 |
438 | | 658.5281 | woman who, | 659.4621 |
440 | | 660.1502 | her husband happened to be a police man (laughing). I don't know why I remember this one so well, but her husband happened to be a police man. | 665.0653 |
442 | | 665.8577 | And um, | 666.7866 |
444 | | 667.0943 | he came in, and um, | 668.7880 |
446 | | 669.7221 | he was leaving his wife | 671.1163 |
448 | | 671.5434 | for some reason or another, and his wife | 673.5402 |
450 | | 673.8059 | very uh, | 674.8230 |
452 | | 675.7394 | um, | 676.3828 |
454 | | 678.0765 | plainly, or | 679.0521 |
456 | | 679.1932 | d- very- just | 680.5839 |
458 | | 680.7998 | solemnly | 681.8252 |
460 | | 682.2725 | prepared his dinner. | 683.8583 |
462 | | 684.3108 | And then uh, | 685.4980 |
464 | | 686.8171 | preparation of his dinner, she got a lamb- frozen lamb leg out of the | 690.8024 |
466 | | 691.1096 | freezer. | 691.4885 |
468 | | 692.5241 | And he was talking to someone on the telephone telling them that he was going to meet them, | 696.7709 |
470 | | 697.1694 | and she | 698.0319 |
472 | | 698.2560 | evidently hit him over the head with the lamb leg. | 701.4193 |
474 | | 702.0711 | And when the- | 703.0881 |
476 | | 703.4317 | his | 704.0585 |
478 | | 704.4031 | co-workers, other policeman, came to investigate the case, | 707.6120 |
480 | | 708.3873 | um, | 709.0639 |
482 | | 709.8278 | she- | 710.6705 |
484 | | 711.1769 | they couldn't find the murder weapon. | 712.5967 |
486 | | 713.5878 | But, | 713.8743 |
488 | | 714.2479 | they sat down and ate lunch | 715.7555 |
490 | | 715.8752 | or dinner, | 716.4937 |
492 | | 717.1081 | and they were eating the | 718.3493 |
494 | | 718.5818 | evidence. They were eating the mur- murder weap- murder [weapon! <laugh>] | 722.0388 |
495 | DCA_int_01 | 720.9387 | [Oh! <laugh>] | 721.7607 |
496 | | 722.2547 | /unintelligible/ | 723.0019 |
497 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 722.9895 | So, uh I do remember that one. Now, something else I- I- | 726.3468 |
498 | DCA_int_01 | 726.6166 | /Yeah/. | 726.9057 |
499 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 726.9944 | I like westerns, uh, generally. But I see 'em and forget 'em generally. It's just for relaxation. | 732.1784 |
501 | | 732.5437 | I find that westerns are the most relaxing | 734.8081 |
502 | DCA_int_01 | 735.0625 | Mm-hm. | 735.4901 |
503 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 735.3780 | of uh- | 736.2023 |
504 | | 737.0053 | mm. | 737.3997 |
505 | DCA_int_01 | 737.0053 | [Don't] have to concentrate. | 738.3566 |
506 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 738.6118 | Takes you out of the realm of reality so to speak. | 740.9895 |
508 | | 741.1888 | Mm-hm. | 741.7077 |
509 | DCA_int_01 | 743.1025 | /unintelligible/ | 743.8788 |
511 | | 744.4351 | Um, I don't wonder that you remember that one (laughing). | 746.6425 |
512 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 746.6342 | Yeah, that's- it's gruesome, isn't it? <laugh> | 748.9507 |
513 | DCA_int_01 | 749.6522 | Most of his are. | 750.5489 |
514 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 750.7938 | Mm-hm. | 751.2629 |
515 | DCA_int_01 | 752.4284 | Have you been to a movie recently? | 754.2093 |
516 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 754.3505 | Yes, I saw um, | 756.0732 |
518 | | 757.8739 | uh, Guns of San Sebastian, uh, | 760.5390 |
519 | DCA_int_01 | 761.7875 | [What's that] about?] | 762.6967 |
520 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 761.7917 | [I]- | 762.2193 |
521 | | 762.9167 | Um, that was story of a | 765.2082 |
523 | | 766.2490 | bandit I guess, in those days, uh, | 769.2671 |
525 | | 769.5536 | that was befriended. He was injured. | 772.0309 |
527 | | 772.5207 | He was being chased by the Mexican | 774.8039 |
529 | | 775.4557 | police I believe. | 776.4063 |
531 | | 777.0083 | Um, Mexican | 777.9247 |
533 | | 778.4975 | Guard or police, | 779.8260 |
535 | | 780.3532 | and uh, he was injured. And he was- | 782.5990 |
537 | | 782.8803 | went into a church. He rode his horse into a church to | 786.4919 |
539 | | 787.7207 | um, | 788.0714 |
541 | | 788.2113 | for looking for a sanction, and uh, | 790.5840 |
543 | | 791.5679 | a priest, an old priest, befriended him. | 794.0658 |
545 | | 794.2901 | And um, | 795.0872 |
547 | | 796.3284 | they wanted the- | 797.6402 |
549 | | 797.9142 | the police- the authorities wanted the bandit | 800.9644 |
551 | | 801.1429 | back, and the priest wouldn't | 802.6000 |
553 | | 802.7494 | uh, relinquish him because of the | 805.5911 |
555 | | 806.1600 | sanctuary- sanctuary- | 807.8503 |
557 | | 808.3776 | of the church. | 809.1582 |
559 | | 810.3152 | And uh, | 811.1869 |
561 | | 811.8678 | finally, they exiled the pr- the old priest to a | 815.4326 |
563 | | 816.1799 | area way out in the middle of the desert somewheres, but uh, | 819.7002 |
565 | | 820.7578 | with the name San Sebastian. | 822.5096 |
566 | DCA_int_01 | 822.5677 | Mm-hm. | 823.1033 |
567 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 823.5267 | And um, | 824.4898 |
569 | | 825.6843 | the um, | 826.5353 |
571 | | 827.1539 | priest was killed almost immediately as soon as he got there, and | 830.5206 |
573 | | 831.0395 | the | 831.5906 |
575 | | 832.2257 | people of the area | 833.5292 |
577 | | 833.8780 | were | 834.4591 |
579 | | 835.1275 | being uh, | 836.1653 |
581 | | 837.7874 | victimized, I guess, by the | 840.0298 |
583 | | 840.3379 | uh- | 840.8788 |
585 | | 841.2496 | combination of the Indians and by someone else in the area that uh, was- | 845.5659 |
587 | | 846.8777 | would take their uh, crops as soon as they were harvested. | 850.2891 |
589 | | 851.1567 | So they looked | 852.0700 |
591 | | 852.6377 | to the church for leadership. | 854.7475 |
593 | | 855.0247 | And uh, by this time, actor Tony Quinn, uh, who happened to be the bandit, | 860.0093 |
595 | | 860.7732 | uh, was, um, | 862.2956 |
597 | | 863.9230 | thought to be the priest, and he was of course | 867.1651 |
599 | | 867.3478 | uh, far from a priest. | 869.0903 |
601 | | 869.7545 | And uh, he showed the people how to uh, | 873.0673 |
603 | | 873.5654 | build. He liked being called a priest. He liked being looked up to, so consequently, he fell into the- | 878.8853 |
605 | | 879.8650 | After | 880.6206 |
607 | | 880.9344 | trying very hard | 882.3810 |
609 | | 883.2649 | to get out of it, supposedly, uh, he decided to uh, | 887.4069 |
611 | | 887.9424 | try to teach the people how to live, how to de- defend themselves. | 891.6028 |
613 | | 892.5120 | And through hook and crook, he managed to get uh, | 895.6368 |
615 | | 896.1309 | dams built and the s- crops harvested, | 900.0372 |
617 | | 900.6464 | and um, | 901.6220 |
619 | | 902.3152 | of course, there was a love scene here and there, in there, with uh, | 905.7644 |
621 | | 906.0442 | Tony Quinn. | 906.5984 |
623 | | 907.3331 | And uh, finally, um, | 909.2469 |
625 | | 910.7123 | I think he got- | 911.4753 |
627 | | 911.7781 | He blackmailed the governor, through his wife, to give them guns and when the | 916.6383 |
629 | | 917.1115 | Indians and the bandits came back in to attack them this time, he was prepared to defend the | 923.9276 |
631 | | 924.4334 | town. | 924.9896 |
633 | | 926.2516 | And of course, it has a happy ending. The b- the band- the uh, authorities were still looking for him, and he wasn't able to stay in the town. They still chased him out of town, [but (laughing)-] | 934.7763 |
634 | DCA_int_01 | 934.0748 | [<laugh>] | 934.8469 |
635 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 935.8557 | But I thought that was very interesting. I have- the most recent film that I saw was um, | 940.7479 |
637 | | 941.4879 | uh, | 942.1231 |
639 | | 944.0317 | Capote's um, | 945.4182 |
640 | DCA_int_01 | 946.4975 | In Cold Blood. | 947.3070 |
641 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 947.2406 | In Cold Blood. Yeah, this left me kind of cold. [But uh- <laugh>] | 950.4361 |
642 | DCA_int_01 | 949.8009 | [<laugh>] | 950.4693 |
643 | | 950.6104 | You didn't like [it?] | 951.3210 |
644 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 951.0629 | [Uh], well, um, | 952.5008 |
645 | | 952.9269 | it- it- I had mixed emotions about it. It- it- | 955.5619 |
647 | | 956.4005 | you felt sorry for the individual, one individual, but at the same time, you- you could see so many things in the, | 962.5423 |
649 | | 963.0540 | a family, that knowing, when they close their | 966.1705 |
651 | | 966.4279 | shades at night and lock their doors, just put- | 969.1014 |
653 | | 969.9929 | having no idea what | 971.6077 |
655 | | 971.8942 | was in store for them. And uh, | 974.1317 |
657 | | 974.8291 | so you had- I had mixed emotions about it. I th- | 977.0158 |
659 | | 977.2607 | thought that the man who did the murdering was | 979.7217 |
661 | | 979.8243 | completely sick. | 980.6856 |
663 | | 981.5688 | Course, this was supposed to have been taken from a true story, and you wonder how much Hollywood had to do with the uh, | 987.9524 |
665 | | 988.8366 | glorifying the individuals that uh, | 991.7082 |
667 | | 992.6133 | perform the murder. | 993.8089 |
669 | | 994.8425 | So I d- I uh, | 996.4408 |
671 | | 996.8964 | I'm still thinking about that moment. <laugh> | 999.8189 |
673 | | 1000.0929 | [Uh-huh.] | 1000.5329 |
674 | DCA_int_01 | 1000.2548 | [I've only] read the book. | 1001.3922 |
675 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1001.6828 | Yeah [I did, too.] | 1002.5162 |
676 | DCA_int_01 | 1001.8147 | [/Didn't really do anything] for me/. | 1002.9853 |
677 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1003.1348 | Yeah, it- [it- it's-] | 1004.2307 |
678 | DCA_int_01 | 1003.6869 | [Is it close] to the book? /inaudible/ | 1005.5775 |
679 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1005.5550 | Uh, I think | 1006.4075 |
680 | | 1006.6640 | the book is a little uh, | 1008.2260 |
682 | | 1008.8625 | more descriptive, much more descriptive, | 1010.9465 |
684 | | 1011.5027 | than the movie. Of course, they couldn't show a lot of the things that they | 1015.5326 |
686 | | 1015.9602 | um, | 1016.2881 |
688 | | 1016.6036 | it was g- very gruesome | 1017.8117 |
690 | | 1018.2465 | uh, in the book. | 1019.1681 |
692 | | 1019.3757 | The description of the um, | 1021.0860 |
694 | | 1021.7461 | bodies and | 1022.6869 |
695 | DCA_int_01 | 1022.9480 | Mm. | 1023.1700 |
696 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1023.2156 | just what they did do, | 1024.5762 |
698 | | 1025.3899 | and the | 1026.0167 |
700 | | 1026.1952 | movies of course, glazed over top of that | 1028.7195 |
702 | | 1029.3304 | to- | 1029.7034 |
704 | | 1031.0556 | to a certain degree. | 1031.9811 |
705 | DCA_int_01 | 1034.7947 | Hm. | 1035.1019 |
707 | | 1038.2278 | /Have to figure that one out/. | 1039.4026 |
708 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1039.2158 | Yeah. <laugh> | 1040.1446 |
709 | | 1041.5436 | I don't do as much reading as I used to. I used to read quite a bit. I liked um, | 1046.8770 |
711 | | 1047.2465 | Kenneth Roberts, uh, | 1048.5043 |
713 | | 1049.4342 | and I liked also um, | 1051.2099 |
715 | | 1052.7625 | Frank Slaughter, | 1053.5928 |
717 | | 1053.7630 | the MD that, you know, wrote about Fort Everglades, and I think he | 1057.3653 |
719 | | 1057.9672 | written several modern novels about doctors and what have you. | 1061.6110 |
721 | | 1062.0344 | I don't know why I'm | 1063.1388 |
723 | | 1063.6844 | interested | 1064.4879 |
725 | | 1064.9902 | in um, | 1065.6502 |
727 | | 1066.3674 | I think it's the life and the excitement of- | 1069.4601 |
729 | | 1069.9582 | that you see, or that you hear about in the books. And I of course, I knew | 1073.7141 |
731 | | 1073.9051 | too many doctors that don't have that type of excitement, you know. | 1076.7195 |
733 | | 1077.2625 | But, uh, of course, /there's just a/- | 1079.4668 |
735 | | 1080.0209 | I- | 1080.3012 |
737 | | 1080.6291 | his description | 1081.6670 |
739 | | 1081.8953 | was very vivid, and um, | 1083.8993 |
741 | | 1084.1650 | I liked his work very much. | 1085.5474 |
743 | | 1085.7633 | Have you ever read any Frank Slaughter? | 1087.1249 |
745 | | 1087.5722 | [Mm. You haven't?] Huh. | 1088.7678 |
746 | DCA_int_01 | 1087.5930 | [No, I haven't.] | 1088.3485 |
747 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1090.1377 | Mm-hm. | 1090.4698 |
748 | DCA_int_01 | 1090.4324 | My wife probably has. [She's a] great reader. | 1092.6270 |
749 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1091.4246 | [Yeah.] | 1091.7650 |
750 | | 1092.8765 | Uh-huh. | 1093.3249 |
752 | | 1094.1510 | Mm-hm. | 1094.5329 |
753 | DCA_int_01 | 1094.7322 | Forget /we're not limited/ technical stuff [these days.] | 1097.2520 |
754 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1096.5421 | [Yeah.] | 1097.0071 |
755 | | 1097.4056 | Mm-hm. | 1097.8705 |
756 | DCA_int_01 | 1098.5130 | You say you have a dog? Uh- | 1099.9078 |
757 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1100.1112 | Yes, I have a | 1101.3607 |
759 | | 1101.8298 | small mutt. | 1102.5940 |
761 | | 1102.8511 | Um, | 1103.3824 |
763 | | 1103.8422 | well he's actually, he was supposed to have been a cocker when we got him, but | 1107.6697 |
765 | | 1108.6618 | immediately when I noticed there's three colors. Uh, | 1111.9187 |
767 | | 1112.0068 | very rarely do you see a cocker with more than | 1114.4681 |
769 | | 1115.0030 | two colors. Matter of fact, I've never heard of a cocker with more than two colors. | 1118.2576 |
771 | | 1119.2373 | But uh, he's been with us for twelve years. Uh, he's like part of the family now. | 1124.2510 |
773 | | 1124.7948 | Mm-hm. | 1125.2503 |
774 | DCA_int_01 | 1125.3086 | We had a dog thirteen years. | 1126.9151 |
775 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1127.1559 | [Thirteen?] | 1127.8948 |
776 | DCA_int_01 | 1127.1932 | [/inaudible/] | 1127.7703 |
777 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1128.0816 | Is that right? Oh. | 1129.0489 |
778 | DCA_int_01 | 1129.6840 | /Sad huh/? | 1130.3731 |
779 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1130.7706 | [Mm-hm.] | 1131.3809 |
780 | DCA_int_01 | 1130.7789 | [What's his name?] | 1131.4764 |
781 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1131.7794 | Skippy. | 1132.2443 |
783 | | 1133.1078 | He's- knows how to play ball, and | 1135.1918 |
785 | | 1135.8840 | uh, shake. | 1137.2166 |
787 | | 1138.4287 | He jumps through the hoop. | 1139.7530 |
789 | | 1141.9148 | He can- He's smart little dog for- and I think this is maybe because he is a mutt that he's so smart. But he has quite a lot of um, | 1149.7431 |
791 | | 1150.4779 | sense for a little dog. | 1151.7316 |
793 | | 1151.9547 | And he's very small. Uh, not more than | 1154.8191 |
795 | | 1155.5580 | ten or twelve pounds or something of that sort. | 1157.3296 |
797 | | 1158.5667 | And, | 1158.9818 |
799 | | 1159.2932 | he's been a lot of company for the children. I have two daughters and uh, | 1163.4706 |
801 | | 1164.3567 | he's been a lot of company for the children. | 1166.3452 |
803 | | 1166.6441 | Mm-hm. | 1167.1132 |
805 | | 1167.4577 | Mm-hm. | 1167.8978 |
806 | DCA_int_01 | 1168.1790 | He ever done anything funny or amusing? | 1170.3751 |
808 | | 1170.9441 | That you recall? | 1171.8571 |
809 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1172.1726 | The dog? | 1172.7818 |
810 | DCA_int_01 | 1172.8150 | Yeah. | 1173.1513 |
811 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1174.4797 | Well, uh, | 1175.5881 |
813 | | 1176.5968 | /mm, other than/, | 1177.7083 |
815 | | 1178.2439 | you give him a bath, and he goes out and | 1179.9365 |
817 | | 1180.3003 | rolls in the dirt. Uh, | 1182.5011 |
819 | | 1183.8346 | he's an- a number of times, | 1185.5948 |
821 | | 1185.9808 | torn paper of course, out of the um, | 1188.3844 |
823 | | 1188.7321 | trash basket, and his | 1190.0066 |
825 | | 1190.1643 | da- soon- no sooner than you walk into the room, he knows that he's wrong. And he [cowers down] and looks up at you with his big eyes, [and you can't spank him.] | 1198.4119 |
826 | DCA_int_01 | 1194.5595 | [Mm-hm.] | 1194.9871 |
828 | | 1197.0752 | <laugh> | 1198.5074 |
829 | | 1199.4446 | /Little birdseed, huh?/ | 1200.5011 |
830 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1200.3869 | Mm-hm. | 1200.9971 |
831 | | 1201.8814 | But I think he does it sometimes just to get attention. | 1204.5953 |
833 | | 1204.8485 | I really do. /But/- | 1205.8573 |
834 | DCA_int_01 | 1206.4011 | Well, they're smart [/to do/] things like that. | 1208.8594 |
835 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1207.4680 | [Mm-hm.] | 1208.0575 |
836 | | 1209.0372 | Mm-hm. | 1209.5893 |
837 | DCA_int_01 | 1210.9416 | Do you feed him, uh, canned dog food? | 1212.8304 |
838 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1213.1252 | No, he's on um, | 1214.7151 |
840 | | 1215.3461 | um, | 1215.8142 |
842 | | 1216.2376 | m- | 1216.4203 |
844 | | 1216.7275 | dry food diet. He | 1218.5042 |
846 | | 1218.7325 | uh, eats | 1219.4092 |
848 | | 1219.6500 | Purina's, um, | 1220.9244 |
850 | | 1222.3640 | Purina Dog Chow, I believe, | 1223.8856 |
852 | | 1224.7219 | And he's been eating this now for the last five or six years. We've tried Gravy Train and a few other things, but he | 1230.6448 |
854 | | 1231.2384 | leaves it, so we go back to the Purina Dog Chow. My children always uh, | 1236.6216 |
856 | | 1237.9334 | give me a hard time about feeding him the same old thing, but | 1241.9301 |
858 | | 1242.7603 | he eats it, and he seems to be thriving off of it, | 1245.2210 |
860 | | 1245.8480 | so we- | 1246.3917 |
861 | DCA_int_01 | 1246.8898 | Worked twelve years, it can't be /harmful/. | 1248.9572 |
862 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1248.9530 | Yeah, well he had some kidney damage some years ago. I don't know. I think he | 1253.3939 |
863 | | 1253.7135 | had some difficulty with his- | 1255.3606 |
865 | | 1255.6387 | one of his glands | 1256.6475 |
867 | | 1257.2369 | and um, | 1258.1046 |
869 | | 1258.4201 | the doctor told us to feed him uh, | 1260.4864 |
871 | | 1261.1257 | dry food because the | 1262.6201 |
873 | | 1263.0851 | beef or meat, | 1264.1810 |
875 | | 1264.6875 | uh, | 1265.1016 |
877 | | 1265.8613 | didn't do his kidneys any good. So, | 1267.8705 |
879 | | 1268.3147 | from that time on, | 1269.7510 |
881 | | 1270.0873 | we haven't had any difficulty with him eating or with his | 1272.6891 |
883 | | 1273.1997 | other trouble. | 1273.9802 |
884 | DCA_int_01 | 1274.1213 | Huh. | 1274.4285 |
886 | | 1274.6236 | /Is that right/? | 1275.2961 |
887 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1275.3252 | Mm-hm. | 1275.8566 |
888 | DCA_int_01 | 1278.2010 | Hm, that's good. Do you remember | 1280.0732 |
890 | | 1281.1059 | your grammar school, the things you studied there? | 1284.1031 |
891 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1286.2110 | Um, | 1286.6884 |
893 | | 1286.9416 | vaguely. | 1287.5726 |
895 | | 1287.8964 | We, um- | 1288.7308 |
897 | | 1289.2539 | I went to uh, | 1290.5657 |
899 | | 1290.7193 | /James D. Burnie/ out in Southeast, | 1292.8312 |
901 | | 1293.7196 | and um, | 1294.7118 |
903 | | 1295.5752 | oh, regular science, | 1297.2804 |
905 | | 1297.5876 | general science, I guess. | 1299.1159 |
907 | | 1299.1941 | The- I remember a history teacher, | 1301.1743 |
909 | | 1301.4857 | third grade, I remember. | 1302.7217 |
911 | | 1305.2249 | I remember some phases of learning to write. | 1307.3836 |
913 | | 1308.1672 | Uh, Geography, and | 1310.2968 |
915 | | 1312.4804 | some of the uh, | 1313.5627 |
917 | | 1314.2312 | /general ??/. | 1314.9867 |
919 | | 1315.7838 | It's hard right now because uh, | 1317.7349 |
921 | | 1318.2413 | I've helped my children with their homework, and I d- don't know whether some of these things I've learned in school when I was | 1323.8819 |
923 | | 1324.8730 | going to school myself, or one- some of the things that I've helped them with in recent years. | 1329.4218 |
925 | | 1330.1068 | But, I do know that we had Geography, Div- Division, Mathematics, uh, | 1334.9379 |
927 | | 1335.3073 | Handwriting, | 1336.2629 |
929 | | 1336.8890 | Physical Education. The same | 1338.6865 |
931 | | 1339.1971 | general things that they seem to be having in school now. | 1342.2210 |
933 | | 1342.8866 | Uh, we did concentrate possibly a little more on Handwriting and uh, | 1347.1531 |
935 | | 1347.6844 | maybe I'd- they- I concentrated more because- | 1350.6848 |
937 | | 1351.2120 | my father | 1351.9302 |
939 | | 1352.4242 | very rarely ever, uh | 1354.0681 |
941 | | 1355.0187 | wrote long hand. | 1356.0234 |
943 | | 1356.2340 | He printed most of the time. | 1357.7244 |
945 | | 1358.2018 | And I had a | 1359.1275 |
947 | | 1359.9370 | combination of printing and writing, | 1361.9535 |
949 | | 1362.1943 | and it was very difficult for me in school because the teachers wanted us to | 1366.6849 |
951 | | 1366.9631 | write, and I was | 1368.4219 |
953 | | 1368.6402 | constantly | 1369.3625 |
955 | | 1370.1181 | trying to print like my father, so it was a | 1373.1350 |
957 | | 1374.0675 | a struggle, right straight on through. <laugh> | 1376.2568 |
958 | DCA_int_01 | 1376.2153 | <laugh> | 1376.5284 |
959 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1377.3268 | Hm. | 1377.7295 |
960 | DCA_int_01 | 1377.9910 | I can remember penmanship, but in my [case, it didn't] do much [good. <laugh>] | 1381.9929 |
961 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1380.0002 | [Yeah.] | 1380.3822 |

966 | DCA_int_01 | 1384.7151 | /inaudible/ | 1385.7695 |
968 | | 1386.0020 | Do you remember what the kids would do after school was out? | 1388.7159 |
969 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1390.6961 | Generally? Um, well, I was on the | 1393.9455 |
971 | | 1394.8339 | Patrol for awhile. I can remember that, but uh, | 1398.2836 |
973 | | 1398.8015 | generally, we ran home and changed our clothes, and | 1401.9938 |
975 | | 1402.8324 | started to going into our | 1405.0829 |
977 | | 1405.7310 | general every evening | 1407.6302 |
979 | | 1408.2695 | playing. | 1408.8175 |
980 | DCA_int_01 | 1409.0044 | Mm-hm. | 1409.5266 |
981 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1409.6758 | Um, | 1410.2362 |
983 | | 1411.4277 | now, do you mean uh- there were a few fights [after school. <laugh>] | 1415.0090 |
984 | DCA_int_01 | 1413.8645 | [<laugh>] | 1415.0547 |
985 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1415.4380 | Um, I can remember that, yeah, um, | 1417.9689 |
987 | | 1418.3093 | on occasion. | 1419.0980 |
989 | | 1419.7166 | Um- | 1420.4887 |
990 | DCA_int_01 | 1421.3273 | Did kids play /unintelligible/? | 1423.0327 |
991 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1423.0293 | Generally. Something that | 1424.8175 |
992 | | 1425.1413 | maybe started in school. I remember one particular time, | 1428.3917 |
994 | | 1429.1753 | I was sitting in class, and I was leaning back in the chair, | 1431.9318 |
996 | | 1432.2556 | and this was in elementary school. And, | 1434.3935 |
998 | | 1435.0484 | the guys would uh, trip the back of the chair, and knock the chair from under you, [you know.] | 1439.6553 |
999 | DCA_int_01 | 1439.0450 | [<laugh>] | 1439.9500 |
1000 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1440.1244 | And I think this particular day, I was caught | 1442.7853 |
1002 | | 1443.6447 | w- by someone who kicked the chair out from under me, and uh, | 1446.6877 |
1004 | | 1447.7783 | we uh- | 1448.8784 |
1006 | | 1449.4803 | the teacher immediately caught me. | 1451.3100 |
1008 | | 1451.5965 | And uh, reprimanded me, and I made up my mind, well, I'm'a take care of this after [school you know. <laugh>] | 1457.8182 |
1009 | DCA_int_01 | 1456.3487 | [<laugh>] | 1457.3284 |
1010 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1458.4451 | And uh, so we | 1459.9312 |
1012 | | 1460.7283 | had our little tussle, but, there again, it was general. By then- | 1464.3472 |
1014 | | 1464.6835 | l- later on that evening, by the time we got to the playground, we were | 1467.6838 |
1016 | | 1467.9619 | completely over it. We forgotten all about what we were fighting about. | 1470.5851 |
1018 | | 1471.0962 | Mm-hm. | 1471.4241 |
1019 | DCA_int_01 | 1471.9960 | Kids are great [that way.] | 1473.3285 |
1020 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1472.7930 | [Yeah.] <laugh> | 1474.4909 |
1021 | | 1474.6943 | But I remember this particular time because we had visitors from uh- | 1478.4211 |
1023 | | 1479.1020 | I don't know whether the | 1480.0651 |
1025 | | 1480.1510 | s- | 1480.5754 |
1027 | | 1480.6779 | s- supervisor or something of that sort was | 1482.9115 |
1029 | | 1483.0447 | visiting the school. | 1484.2900 |
1031 | | 1484.7799 | And evidently, | 1485.7554 |
1033 | | 1486.5899 | I don't remember exactly whether | 1488.1662 |
1035 | | 1488.5150 | the supervisor walked in just as | 1490.6571 |
1037 | | 1490.9062 | my chair was clipped from under me. I just /?/ but it was very close to the- | 1494.6597 |
1039 | | 1495.1976 | and it was very embarrassing to me and the teacher, | 1497.6053 |
1041 | | 1497.9125 | now that I think back on it (laughing). | 1499.5313 |
1042 | DCA_int_01 | 1499.5546 | Mm-hm. | 1500.0536 |
1043 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1500.3109 | Huh. | 1500.6804 |
1044 | DCA_int_01 | 1500.7856 | Mm. | 1501.1400 |
1046 | | 1502.9917 | Do kids do the same sorts of things today, as far you know? | 1506.1217 |
1047 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1507.4377 | <ts> Well, my kids say that I'm old fashioned, and uh, I don't really- | 1512.0570 |
1049 | | 1512.8209 | I don't know. Maybe they do, but th- they seem to be a little more- | 1516.6889 |
1051 | | 1518.1211 | The type of fighting that we did generally, as far as I could see, was, as I said, uh | 1523.1769 |
1053 | | 1524.3677 | taking care of something that you couldn't do during school time, and that was the end of it. But now, they seem to be a little rougher than we were. We were just | 1531.5474 |
1055 | | 1532.2282 | wanting to, you know, | 1533.3159 |
1057 | | 1533.5027 | punch each other and /laugh/, you know, in the mouth or something, that's it. But we didn't really want to hurt anybody. | 1537.9269 |
1059 | | 1538.1096 | But now, they seem to be- | 1539.6082 |
1061 | | 1540.1354 | I don't know whether they learn more from television or just what it is. | 1543.2063 |
1063 | | 1543.3392 | But when they fight now, from what I've seen, you know, in riding along after school, | 1547.3815 |
1065 | | 1547.7676 | they seem to be a little | 1548.7483 |
1067 | | 1549.8054 | more bent on destruction. [<laugh>] | 1552.7244 |
1068 | DCA_int_01 | 1551.6352 | [<laugh>] | 1552.3721 |
1069 | | 1552.7386 | /inaudible/ | 1553.4660 |
1070 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1553.5404 | Oh. | 1554.1156 |
1071 | DCA_int_01 | 1555.2219 | You ever have a teacher that hollered a lot? | 1557.0085 |
1072 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1558.1229 | Um, | 1558.8949 |
1074 | | 1559.1609 | yeah. I- | 1559.9589 |
1076 | | 1560.3939 | I've had- | 1561.2027 |
1078 | | 1563.4989 | Yeah, I had one that uh, hollered a lot, but now I can't remember | 1567.3597 |
1080 | | 1568.6853 | too much about | 1569.4725 |
1082 | | 1570.0477 | the teacher. I did have one that was very very um, | 1572.8042 |
1084 | | 1574.0909 | rough spoken, but it was a v- she was a very good teacher. | 1577.4125 |
1086 | | 1577.6992 | She was an excellent teacher. | 1578.9071 |
1088 | | 1579.7123 | And um, I got a lot from her. | 1582.0165 |
1090 | | 1582.5836 | But she- When I say rough spoken, she was v- Her voice was very heavy. She e- when she lambasted you, she | 1588.6723 |
1092 | | 1589.0102 | really tore into you. | 1590.1747 |
1093 | DCA_int_01 | 1590.1606 | /inaudible/ | 1590.6177 |
1094 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1591.6659 | But um, | 1592.4677 |
1096 | | 1593.3950 | I'm not- | 1593.8910 |
1098 | | 1594.4267 | Overall- I can't | 1595.7639 |
1100 | | 1597.2513 | remember too much about uh, | 1599.2176 |
1102 | | 1600.3563 | individual- | 1601.2801 |
1104 | | 1602.1501 | Let- There were certain teachers that I do remember | 1604.8641 |
1106 | | 1605.5930 | for certain [things.] | 1606.8332 |
1107 | DCA_int_01 | 1606.6247 | [Mm-hm.] | 1606.9857 |
1108 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1607.0740 | And um, | 1607.9763 |
1110 | | 1608.1705 | I remember I had a grandma teacher that uh, | 1610.7542 |
1112 | | 1611.8147 | uh, we d- could never make it. I- I had to take my homework for my grandma twice | 1615.9514 |
1114 | | 1616.1671 | because- <laugh> | 1617.3024 |
1116 | | 1617.9412 | /how was it/- I think it was a combination of two things. One thing, uh, it was nine o'clock in the morning, and this particular year | 1623.9179 |
1118 | | 1624.5735 | uh, was um, I couldn't seem to make it to school on time. | 1627.5494 |
1120 | | 1628.2899 | And that number | 1629.5085 |
1122 | | 1630.4567 | two, uh, I think we- Somewhere along the line, we cross | 1634.3211 |
1124 | | 1634.7911 | each other. I crossed her evidently. | 1636.6712 |
1126 | | 1637.5986 | But, uh, the second | 1638.8280 |
1128 | | 1639.2621 | semester- | 1640.0530 |
1130 | | 1640.2723 | I took it from her again, and the second semester, | 1642.5729 |
1132 | | 1643.1876 | I had no difficulty- I mean um, I | 1644.9841 |
1134 | | 1645.1818 | went right through the course, and uh, we got to be great friends. And I've seen her since then, | 1649.3473 |
1135 | DCA_int_01 | 1649.6385 | Hm. | 1649.8542 |
1136 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1649.9656 | and um, we've chatted about | 1652.2519 |
1138 | | 1652.4595 | what | 1652.7039 |
1140 | | 1652.9340 | you know, | 1653.4236 |
1142 | | 1653.8713 | what transpired during the | 1655.5870 |
1144 | | 1656.5036 | past ten, fifteen years or so. | 1658.3756 |
1146 | | 1658.8537 | Mm-hm. | 1659.2887 |
1147 | DCA_int_01 | 1660.5541 | You, uh, recall | 1661.6037 |
1149 | | 1661.8374 | uh, any time that you in particular | 1663.7957 |
1151 | | 1664.8166 | singled out for a lambasting? | 1666.8620 |
1152 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1668.6693 | Um, | 1669.4458 |
1154 | | 1672.0978 | n- this particular time, the- the chair incident, | 1674.8155 |
1156 | | 1675.0420 | and um, | 1676.0988 |
1158 | | 1676.5473 | I remember one other time I was struck by a teacher. | 1679.7574 |
1159 | DCA_int_01 | 1679.9479 | Ooh. | 1680.5231 |
1160 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1680.6444 | And- <laugh> | 1682.6827 |
1162 | | 1682.9056 | but, um, | 1683.9804 |
1164 | | 1684.4981 | here again, I've | 1685.4543 |
1166 | | 1685.5756 | seen him since then, and uh, | 1687.5096 |
1168 | | 1687.8799 | we get along very nice. Matter of fact, he reminded of it (laughing). | 1690.9633 |
1169 | DCA_int_01 | 1690.9885 | <laugh> | 1691.6139 |
1170 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1691.5888 | But um, | 1692.5058 |
1171 | | 1693.7888 | he d- When he struck me, he didn't uh, | 1696.7132 |
1173 | | 1697.3647 | hurt me. I think at that particular time, I needed to be struck. I was way out of line. I think I was | 1702.0011 |
1175 | | 1702.6410 | playing with the little girl in front of me or something of that sort, and I think he | 1706.6590 |
1177 | | 1707.0724 | hadn't | 1707.4463 |
1179 | | 1707.6153 | moved me over there because I was in trouble on that side of the room. And the- this was right /the fourth grade/. | 1712.1438 |
1181 | | 1713.2393 | And uh, I remember him coming over and grabbing me by the shoulder or something of that sort, and | 1718.2113 |
1182 | DCA_int_01 | 1719.5355 | [<laugh>] | 1720.4168 |
1183 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1719.5796 | [sort of] pushing me on over the other side of the room, but uh, here again. I didn't uh, hold any- and I dare not tell my father, or my parents, [because] uh, | 1727.6409 |
1184 | DCA_int_01 | 1726.8788 | [Hm.] | 1727.2132 |
1185 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1728.9746 | uh, that was unheard of in those days. If the teacher had speaked to- If the teacher spoke to you, you were wrong | 1734.3371 |
1187 | | 1734.4306 | regardless [of what you- did- you- It could] be the teacher that [was wrong] <laugh> but in this case, | 1739.3402 |
1188 | DCA_int_01 | 1735.0130 | [/inaudible/] | 1736.4678 |
1190 | | 1737.0934 | [<laugh>] | 1738.1611 |
1191 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1739.4984 | as far as my parents were concerned, if the teacher spoke to me, I was wrong. | 1743.6381 |
1193 | | 1744.5445 | So, | 1745.1449 |
1195 | | 1746.0139 | I never said anything that wou- And I | 1748.1924 |
1197 | | 1748.3685 | somewhat feel that way to a certain degree now, but if my children- (laughing) | 1751.6676 |
1199 | | 1752.0235 | if the teacher has to speak to 'em, it's because they were generally doing something that the had no business doing. | 1756.5054 |
1201 | | 1757.0696 | But- | 1757.3960 |
1202 | DCA_int_01 | 1759.7146 | So you think it was probably | 1760.8002 |
1204 | | 1761.5299 | fair? | 1762.0152 |
1205 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1762.5185 | In [this particular instance, um], I probably- Now that I think back over it, uh, | 1766.8529 |
1206 | DCA_int_01 | 1762.7845 | [/inaudible/] | 1764.1141 |
1207 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1767.6114 | I might have reacted | 1768.7438 |
1209 | | 1769.2965 | myself in a little different way. I might have done little more than he [did. <laugh>] | 1774.0012 |
1210 | DCA_int_01 | 1772.4563 | [<laugh>] | 1773.4485 |
1211 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1774.1198 | But uh, I was disrupting his class. And I realize that now, and I think he took about as much as he could take. | 1780.1006 |
1212 | DCA_int_01 | 1780.5823 | Mm. | 1780.8879 |
1213 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1780.8663 | And um, | 1781.5277 |
1214 | | 1782.7203 | He put a end to it. | 1783.6801 |
1215 | DCA_int_01 | 1784.5860 | Can you remember the best teacher you ever had? | 1786.8076 |
1216 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1788.7012 | Ah, I think the former Grammar teacher that I was just telling you [about], um, | 1792.7252 |
1217 | DCA_int_01 | 1791.8555 | [Hm.] | 1792.1580 |
1218 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1792.9658 | was very good. And then I had another History teacher, | 1796.4610 |
1220 | | 1797.1966 | in um, | 1798.1488 |
1222 | | 1798.8870 | high school | 1799.8358 |
1224 | | 1800.6952 | that I liked very much. And she was a very good teacher. She was a very effective teacher. I had an- Algebra, uh, | 1806.7719 |
1226 | | 1807.9742 | Geometry, or Algebra or something of that sort- | 1810.3014 |
1228 | | 1810.6796 | Must have been Algebra teacher, in uh, | 1812.5618 |
1230 | | 1813.5422 | Junior High School that was very good. | 1815.4466 |
1232 | | 1817.4361 | I don't know that she could get very much uh, | 1820.2253 |
1234 | | 1820.5737 | math over to me, but uh, she was very effective as far as uh, | 1824.7125 |
1236 | | 1825.1242 | teaching those who | 1826.3652 |
1238 | | 1826.6024 | could comprehend. [<laugh>] | 1829.2115 |
1239 | DCA_int_01 | 1827.3817 | [<laugh>] | 1828.2676 |
1240 | | 1829.7881 | [What is it that] makes a good teacher? | 1832.2631 |
1241 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1829.9875 | [But uh-] | 1830.7678 |
1242 | DCA_int_01 | 1833.3490 | /Think back ??/. | 1834.3832 |
1243 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1835.5211 | Well I think it's a combination of um, | 1837.9968 |
1245 | | 1840.0166 | well, | 1840.6044 |
1247 | | 1840.8484 | m- to say, respect or- or- um- | 1843.5770 |
1249 | | 1846.5707 | interests that the teacher can uh, | 1849.3134 |
1251 | | 1852.0763 | get f- get from the student, | 1853.7127 |
1253 | | 1855.3386 | um, this- Sorry- uh- [they uh,] interest that a teacher can get | 1860.6247 |
1254 | DCA_int_01 | 1857.1253 | [That's okay.] | 1857.9194 |
1255 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1860.7820 | and the general uh, | 1862.6795 |
1257 | | 1865.3153 | um, | 1866.0303 |
1259 | | 1867.9759 | display that she prov- uh- puts out- When I say display, I mean the uh, | 1872.2961 |
1261 | | 1872.5264 | way she | 1873.2861 |
1263 | | 1873.6539 | conducts her [class generally.] Uh, | 1876.2656 |
1264 | DCA_int_01 | 1874.5950 | [Mm-hm.] | 1874.9800 |
1265 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1876.5612 | the discipline. | 1877.4069 |
1267 | | 1877.6475 | I think discipline is a very important part of a | 1880.3651 |
1269 | | 1880.9089 | classroom. Now, when I say discipline, I don't mean um, | 1883.8093 |
1271 | | 1884.4247 | the- what I was speaking of earlier. I mean | 1886.5594 |
1273 | | 1886.8619 | the uh, overall | 1888.5592 |
1275 | | 1889.0061 | conduct of the class. If everybody's eager to learn. If everybody- if the teacher can | 1893.9897 |
1277 | | 1894.5427 | uh, arouse enough interest to keep everybody interested | 1897.7357 |
1279 | | 1898.0451 | in the class. And uh, this way of course- This isn't a form of- of discipline in my opinion. | 1902.9022 |
1280 | DCA_int_01 | 1903.0514 | /Okay/. | 1903.4570 |
1281 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1903.8297 | And uh, I think that this is uh- | 1905.9154 |
1283 | | 1906.3382 | Generally | 1907.1632 |
1285 | | 1907.5998 | the best teachers that I've had were | 1909.7228 |
1287 | | 1909.8884 | teachers that were able to do this. | 1912.2156 |
1289 | | 1912.9100 | And I did have several that I can remember very well, that uh- | 1916.8726 |
1291 | | 1917.5292 | You didn't have time- You didn't think about doing anything out of the- | 1921.0243 |
1293 | | 1921.9834 | Because you did- You were so interested in what she was saying you didn't want to miss a word that he or she was saying. | 1927.0420 |
1295 | | 1927.4268 | I had several. I had a Civics teacher like that. Uh, | 1930.1046 |
1297 | | 1930.5996 | Math teacher, History teacher, | 1932.4310 |
1299 | | 1932.7610 | and the former Grammar teacher. | 1934.1189 |
1301 | | 1934.6173 | Uh, I think in the case of the former Grammar teacher, I think it was mainly because I was late so much. I think it was tardiness played a big deal now. | 1941.1710 |
1302 | DCA_int_01 | 1941.5309 | Mm-hm. | 1942.0531 |
1304 | | 1943.6220 | You're lucky to have so many. | 1945.4293 |
1305 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1945.6871 | Well <laugh> | 1946.6462 |
1307 | | 1947.1515 | I /had the ones as bad as I said/. But sometimes you- you, um- | 1950.2376 |
1309 | | 1951.1966 | My interests | 1952.2554 |
1311 | | 1952.9085 | were so | 1953.6801 |
1313 | | 1954.1933 | uh, varied at that particular time, I didn't uh- | 1957.5269 |
1315 | | 1957.6517 | Maybe I should have concentrated a little more in the areas that they were trying to teach <laugh> | 1962.3234 |
1317 | | 1962.6270 | or retained a little more of it. <laugh> | 1965.0692 |
1318 | DCA_int_01 | 1965.0543 | Yeah, I think everybody feels that way. | 1966.9003 |
1319 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1966.9957 | Yeah. Uh-huh. | 1967.9857 |
1320 | DCA_int_01 | 1968.4772 | When they think back. | 1969.4432 |
1322 | | 1969.7079 | Was there ever a teacher that you just couldn't stand? | 1971.9586 |
1323 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 1974.6640 | There were one or two that I didn't particular like, | 1977.4922 |
1325 | | 1977.7604 | but um, | 1978.7091 |
1327 | | 1979.6983 | we made it through. I stayed out of | 1981.7058 |
1329 | | 1981.9602 | their way, and uh, | 1983.1565 |
1331 | | 1984.9810 | just hoped that they would leave me alone generally (laughing), but uh, it wasn't the case for, uh- | 1989.6542 |
1333 | | 1990.1536 | I never hated a teacher, as far as I- Or, | 1993.1718 |
1335 | | 1993.7347 | disliked a teacher | 1994.8314 |
1337 | | 1995.6735 | very, you know, that strongly that | 1997.5530 |
1339 | | 1998.6977 | I wanted to be moved out of the class or felt that /oh, I've/ got to go here another day or something. That's uh, no, I can't remember | 2005.6407 |
1341 | | 2006.2208 | any case of that sort. | 2007.4549 |
1342 | DCA_int_01 | 2007.9946 | Remember any cases where the kids in the class played a trick on the teacher? | 2011.6444 |
1343 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2013.9579 | Mm, no. | 2015.1120 |
1344 | DCA_int_01 | 2014.9986 | Put any tacks on the seat or anything of that nature? | 2017.6524 |
1345 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2017.7108 | No. | 2018.3296 |
1347 | | 2018.9724 | No, my- | 2019.9521 |
1349 | | 2021.2541 | I remember another- I | 2022.7047 |
1351 | | 2023.0141 | always had a problem with tardiness. I don't know why- well one of the reasons why- I did have to travel quite a ways to uh, school. | 2028.8021 |
1353 | | 2029.5197 | And I remember one particular time, this- uh- my section teacher, | 2033.7126 |
1355 | | 2034.2867 | used to make us stay | 2036.2324 |
1357 | | 2036.8374 | five minutes over- Well, she would make us stay the same length of time over in the evening, for the amount- length of time that we were tardy in the morning. | 2044.3158 |
1359 | | 2045.7630 | And I had been /so/ tardy several times, and uh | 2048.4847 |
1361 | | 2049.3613 | so | 2049.9216 |
1363 | | 2050.1553 | this particular morning, | 2051.4195 |
1365 | | 2051.9248 | and I saw the principal, | 2053.3990 |
1367 | | 2053.9152 | as I was coming into the school, running to get into school on time. | 2057.2350 |
1369 | | 2057.9534 | And uh, I said, uh, | 2060.2867 |
1371 | | 2062.3664 | good morning, Doctor /RD-NAME-3/. And uh, | 2065.1947 |
1373 | | 2066.1297 | the um- | 2067.0750 |
1375 | | 2067.7625 | When I got into the classroom, I was still two or three minutes late, and the teacher wanted to know why I was late | 2073.2300 |
1377 | | 2073.3606 | for class | 2073.9725 |
1379 | | 2074.5672 | before school, | 2075.3234 |
1381 | | 2075.7531 | and I told her I stopped and had a conversation with the principal. | 2078.9217 |
1383 | | 2079.7640 | So uh, | 2080.8811 |
1385 | | 2081.1355 | she wanted to know what the conversation- I said, well we stopped and a had a few words, and I didn't want to go into detail as to just what happened. | 2087.2282 |
1387 | | 2087.8129 | So finally, um, she got it out of me, just what the conversation was about. And I told her, well, I stopped and said good morning, so- [<laugh>] | 2094.5757 |
1388 | DCA_int_01 | 2094.1514 | [<laugh>] | 2094.6037 |
1389 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2095.8001 | So she thought that was quite uh, something. She carried me to the principal's office and uh, | 2100.9281 |
1391 | | 2101.0381 | she thought, well, you know. This is one of the books, so you better here this one. | 2104.9320 |
1393 | | 2105.5026 | And I think I was given a very stern warning that if it ever happened again [that- <laugh>] | 2110.6959 |
1394 | DCA_int_01 | 2109.2899 | [<laugh>] | 2110.8300 |
1395 | | 2112.1534 | Never to use that [excuse.] | 2114.1910 |
1396 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2113.0016 | [Yeah. Well.] | 2114.1360 |
1397 | DCA_int_01 | 2114.9026 | That's pretty good. | 2115.8995 |
1399 | | 2118.0093 | When you were a kid, was there a certain n- or- | 2120.6184 |
1401 | | 2121.4048 | either as a younger child or as a | 2123.2473 |
1403 | | 2123.7251 | teenager, | 2124.4607 |
1405 | | 2124.8286 | was there a bunch of kids that- | 2126.3195 |
1407 | | 2126.9830 | that you associated with? | 2128.3718 |
1409 | | 2129.6429 | /inaudible/ | 2130.7876 |
1410 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2131.2963 | Um, | 2132.1351 |
1412 | | 2132.5167 | I was /never/- Well yes, I guess so. | 2134.7055 |
1414 | | 2135.2796 | Uh, | 2135.8193 |
1416 | | 2136.2455 | we- we- There was several of us that went around together. I had | 2139.2113 |
1418 | | 2139.7957 | several friends that I carried all the way from- Well, when I say, I carried, we | 2144.1227 |
1420 | | 2144.5077 | carried each other all the way from elementary school all the way through, | 2147.6557 |
1422 | | 2148.5597 | and um, | 2149.5119 |
1424 | | 2149.7133 | we went around together in the kindergarten, first grade, and I think when I got in about in, | 2153.4446 |
1426 | | 2154.3435 | the | 2154.8899 |
1428 | | 2155.6346 | third or fourth, one | 2157.3223 |
1430 | | 2158.2510 | uh, fella and his brother and what have you, moved away | 2161.7365 |
1432 | | 2162.2389 | and I was thrown in to with an- thrown into another group. | 2165.5449 |
1434 | | 2166.3053 | And we went around together for | 2168.0544 |
1436 | | 2168.9886 | um, | 2169.5912 |
1438 | | 2169.8908 | number of years all the way through high school, matter of fact. And /there were/ three or four of us that | 2173.8699 |
1440 | | 2174.0858 | stayed together. We'd- we'd go swimming together. We- we would go, uh- | 2177.6408 |
1442 | | 2177.9933 | We play basketball together in the evening. | 2179.9365 |
1444 | | 2180.5667 | We uh- | 2181.3896 |
1446 | | 2181.7862 | I guess you'd call it uh- s- uh- Well maybe it's | 2184.5050 |
1448 | | 2185.2321 | our gang, so to [speak. Uh,] | 2186.8845 |
1449 | DCA_int_01 | 2186.2324 | [Uh-huh.] | 2186.7242 |
1450 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2187.7687 | um, | 2188.3905 |
1452 | | 2188.6725 | we um, | 2189.6860 |
1454 | | 2190.2985 | played whatever games we played. We went to the movies together. We went to the circus together. | 2195.1181 |
1456 | | 2195.9220 | I never will forget one particular time. Um, | 2198.3971 |
1458 | | 2198.6308 | this- | 2199.1252 |
1460 | | 2199.7640 | Two or three of us went to circus on Sunday afternoon, and uh, | 2203.1615 |
1462 | | 2203.8806 | I think we left the house around twelve o'clock. | 2206.1145 |
1464 | | 2206.9595 | And I came back around ten, | 2208.9971 |
1466 | | 2210.0698 | my father was waiting for me. He had been all over the neighborhood looking for me. <laugh> | 2214.6589 |
1468 | | 2214.9705 | And uh- and th- I th- I don't remember exactly how old I was. I think I must have been about thirteen, | 2219.6750 |
1470 | | 2220.5904 | twelve or thirteen. And- I know- My father was a | 2223.6708 |
1472 | | 2224.8225 | even- My father is an even tempered man, and um, | 2228.4537 |
1474 | | 2229.0629 | he uh, | 2229.9918 |
1476 | | 2230.8249 | didn't take too kindly to the | 2232.7126 |
1478 | | 2232.9823 | idea that I was away from home all day without telling anybody where I was. | 2236.9541 |
1480 | | 2237.7632 | And here again now, I can appreciate that /unintelligible/, [but at] that time, I thought he was being very unreasonable. I was only at the circus. | 2244.9103 |
1481 | DCA_int_01 | 2241.2271 | [Yeah.] | 2241.7065 |
1482 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2245.2740 | [<laugh>] | 2247.6500 |
1483 | DCA_int_01 | 2245.5118 | [/inaudible/.] | 2246.6916 |
1484 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2247.8538 | /That's right/. Hm. | 2248.8965 |
1485 | DCA_int_01 | 2251.0765 | Was there | 2251.5619 |
1487 | | 2251.8436 | a- a way that | 2253.0362 |
1489 | | 2253.3718 | new kids could have gotten into that group? | 2255.7210 |
1491 | | 2256.8117 | /inaudible/ | 2259.2192 |
1492 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2259.1774 | Well, [um,] | 2259.9832 |
1493 | DCA_int_01 | 2259.6329 | [/inaudible/] | 2261.1911 |
1494 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2261.1431 | we had something happen in Anacostia, for instance, that uh- | 2265.4760 |
1495 | | 2266.1158 | that they built a | 2267.1765 |
1497 | | 2267.5601 | project, a um- development. | 2269.6336 |
1499 | | 2270.3348 | And uh, | 2271.3715 |
1501 | | 2271.8989 | there were a number of fellows that moved into the area- | 2274.8340 |
1503 | | 2275.0917 | in to the project at that time. I d- I don't remember- | 2278.2070 |
1505 | | 2278.3376 | This must have been uh, | 2279.6703 |
1507 | | 2280.4074 | in the forties. But anyhow, a- um, | 2282.5813 |
1509 | | 2283.1806 | they came in. There were several of them that played basketball with us, and uh- | 2287.6154 |
1511 | | 2287.9390 | W- When I say that I can remember, | 2290.3527 |
1513 | | 2290.9700 | nothing happened in Anacostia for many many years, and then they built the project. | 2295.6804 |
1515 | | 2296.0879 | And when they built the project, this was | 2297.6386 |
1517 | | 2298.0281 | quite an influx of people. | 2299.7721 |
1518 | DCA_int_01 | 2299.8895 | Mm-hm. | 2300.3605 |
1519 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2300.4613 | And um, there were a lot of fellows that we did go around with. We played ball with, and uh, | 2306.0092 |
1521 | | 2306.3089 | there were a lot of new girls that came to the school. Of course, we had- They built- At the same time, they built a project, they built a community | 2313.4469 |
1523 | | 2314.1401 | uh, center. | 2315.1709 |
1525 | | 2316.0399 | And they used to have dances and- and uh, movies on uh, | 2320.1391 |
1527 | | 2320.9047 | Friday night I believe. Friday or Saturday night. | 2323.2379 |
1529 | | 2324.2008 | And it had its good influences in some cases. In some cases, bad influences, but uh, overall I think it sort of balanced out in some | 2332.7392 |
1531 | | 2333.1887 | area. | 2333.7999 |
1533 | | 2334.8472 | Mm. | 2335.4465 |
1534 | DCA_int_01 | 2335.9439 | Could uh- | 2336.6990 |
1536 | | 2337.4002 | Did any of them, sort of, make this | 2339.2748 |
1538 | | 2340.1570 | intimate group that you have that you went to movies with- | 2342.9257 |
1539 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2343.3137 | Mm-hm. | 2343.7632 |
1540 | DCA_int_01 | 2343.8951 | were with all the time, did | 2345.0936 |
1542 | | 2345.4113 | any of them get into that | 2346.5499 |
1543 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2347.5987 | [Um-] | 2348.2339 |
1544 | DCA_int_01 | 2347.7066 | [??] | 2348.4377 |
1545 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2348.5276 | yeah, one or two of 'em. Uh, that's- If I can remember, that uh- | 2352.8110 |
1547 | | 2353.0568 | Yeah- to the- Yeah. We did. One fella in particular, we used to uh- | 2356.7992 |
1549 | | 2357.6114 | He came right on in, and we uh- | 2359.4675 |
1551 | | 2360.5165 | He went just about everywhere with us for a quite a little while. | 2363.3587 |
1553 | | 2363.6208 | Matter of fact, there were a couple in later years, in high school years. | 2366.7895 |
1555 | | 2367.5926 | But then, of course, in high school, I drifted away from | 2371.2938 |
1557 | | 2371.5596 | the group, as such. Uh, | 2373.0171 |
1559 | | 2373.5076 | my father wasn't much on um, | 2375.3819 |
1561 | | 2376.7303 | traveling in crowds, | 2378.0008 |
1563 | | 2378.3364 | and uh, never allowed me- He didn't mind | 2380.9494 |
1565 | | 2381.1831 | me | 2381.5307 |
1567 | | 2381.9487 | going some place uh, | 2383.4469 |
1569 | | 2384.0103 | what have you, but he didn't ever | 2385.7422 |
1571 | | 2386.2576 | uh, approve- He never approved as far as I can remember /up/ uh, | 2390.3131 |
1573 | | 2391.0565 | traveling with a group. | 2392.1184 |
1574 | DCA_int_01 | 2392.5187 | Mm-hm. | 2393.0341 |
1575 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2393.3398 | And um, if there more than three or four of us, or more than two of us generally, he had something to say about it. | 2399.7687 |
1576 | DCA_int_01 | 2399.7028 | Mm-hm. | 2400.1942 |
1577 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2400.8136 | But um, | 2401.6890 |
1579 | | 2403.7480 | if we did go to | 2405.3526 |
1581 | | 2405.7721 | you know, games- Or I remember going out to uh, | 2408.5229 |
1583 | | 2409.1042 | the Canal, | 2409.8773 |
1585 | | 2410.1769 | out to Great Falls, right near Great Falls. Hiked around Chain Bridge, and we used to rent boats and go boating and things of that sort. Now this was in high school of course. | 2419.2487 |
1587 | | 2420.1237 | I didn't swim that well, but I used to- Several of the fellas that I went around with were very good swimmers. | 2426.4507 |
1589 | | 2427.0920 | And uh, they liked horseback riding. I used to horseback ride too, | 2430.5184 |
1590 | DCA_int_01 | 2430.5724 | Mm-hm. | 2430.9896 |
1591 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2431.5864 | but uh, th- As I said again, now this was later years. This was high school. | 2435.2468 |
1593 | | 2436.2462 | L- My last year or so in high school, I drifted completely away from them because I went to work for a bookstore. | 2442.5807 |
1595 | | 2443.3658 | And uh, and I worked in a book store up until um, | 2446.3787 |
1597 | | 2447.5234 | uh, summer. | 2448.3324 |
1599 | | 2448.6021 | And then I started college, and I worked. | 2451.1956 |
1601 | | 2451.8728 | I went to school during the day time and worked in the evening, | 2454.6715 |
1603 | | 2455.0550 | and so uh, | 2456.3854 |
1605 | | 2456.9667 | here again, um, I didn't have much act- | 2459.2981 |
1607 | | 2459.5079 | time for activity | 2461.3041 |
1609 | | 2462.2630 | of the sort. Then I got married very young, too, so /this makes another/- <laugh> | 2466.8555 |
1610 | DCA_int_01 | 2467.0918 | /I'm going to cut you off/. | 2467.8382 |
1611 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2467.9428 | [Mm-hm.] | 2468.4762 |
1612 | DCA_int_01 | 2468.2579 | [So.] | 2468.4942 |
1613 | | 2469.8066 | was- did the- | 2470.6756 |
1615 | | 2471.1970 | those kids have to do anything special to get into your group, or they just start hanging around. Or how did that work? | 2476.0797 |
1616 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2477.5060 | M- generally it's just a matter of start hanging around, being on the basketball court when we went out in the evening to play basketball. | 2485.0796 |
1618 | | 2486.4760 | Or- We had one fella | 2488.5194 |
1620 | | 2488.7059 | that um, | 2489.5126 |
1622 | | 2490.6875 | father left him a great deal of- He worked in the evenings. He lost his mother when he was young, and his | 2496.1890 |
1624 | | 2496.6504 | father | 2497.2737 |
1626 | | 2497.7157 | worked in the evenings at the Navy yard. | 2499.6694 |
1628 | | 2500.2028 | And uh, | 2501.0118 |
1630 | | 2501.8149 | he left enough work to do to keep him busy, for- up until twelve o'clock at night I guess, if he did it all by myself. But mainly, this- I- As I | 2509.9758 |
1632 | | 2510.3713 | think about it now, w- probably to keep him out of trouble. | 2512.8149 |
1634 | | 2513.7498 | But what we used to is f- three or four of us would go down, and we'd all | 2517.9209 |
1636 | | 2518.2625 | pool together and knock out the work, so that we could all go (laughing) up and play. | 2522.3045 |
1638 | | 2522.9535 | And um, | 2523.9183 |
1640 | | 2524.6826 | this uh, | 2525.6245 |
1642 | | 2526.0518 | went on for- | 2527.2880 |
1644 | | 2527.4559 | And I think this how some of the new fellas got into the group. | 2530.2256 |
1646 | | 2530.4774 | We would wanna play basketball, and we needed five or six or | 2533.7730 |
1648 | | 2534.2307 | something to | 2535.1252 |
1650 | | 2535.7431 | get up a game, so we'd go down and help this particular fella | 2539.1901 |
1652 | | 2539.4792 | um, with his work, so that we could go out and play. Mm. | 2543.2807 |
1653 | DCA_int_01 | 2544.3834 | Do you ever see any of these guys /??/? | 2546.3838 |

1656 | | 2549.4160 | one fella I still see occasionally. He will drive past, or I'll drive past his house. | 2554.6958 |
1658 | | 2555.2456 | He's- Matter of fact, he's the uh, | 2557.2772 |
1660 | | 2557.5949 | godparent | 2558.4998 |
1662 | | 2558.8594 | of my | 2559.6692 |
1664 | | 2561.2565 | oldest child, | 2562.1095 |
1666 | | 2562.6783 | but uh, we don't visit uh, regularly. He- | 2566.4401 |
1668 | | 2567.2480 | We did for a long time after I was married. We visited, and uh, matter fact we worked part time jobs together. | 2573.3727 |
1670 | | 2573.6618 | He taught me how to paint when I was um, | 2575.7205 |
1672 | | 2576.5415 | coming along, and uh, | 2578.1476 |
1674 | | 2578.8353 | when um- | 2579.7822 |
1676 | | 2580.0879 | In the early years when I was | 2581.6940 |
1678 | | 2581.9457 | trying to | 2582.7727 |
1680 | | 2583.0783 | buy my first home, uh, | 2584.7199 |
1682 | | 2585.5534 | and I needed money. My wife was home with the children and what have you, and I needed money, and I needed to have some extra money. So I | 2592.7314 |
1684 | | 2593.0551 | called on him to | 2594.3136 |
1686 | | 2595.0312 | let me in on some of his extra jobs, and he- | 2598.0157 |
1688 | | 2598.5910 | We used to work together doing interior decorating, and uh, | 2602.1748 |
1690 | | 2603.0277 | for a long time. I often kid my | 2605.3376 |

1706 | | 2631.4503 | um, was one of the first people I | 2633.6385 |
1708 | | 2634.7569 | uh, got in t- Well, got in touch with me actually, because I didn't contact him, he contacted me. | 2639.8265 |
1710 | | 2640.8023 | So, we still are friends. | 2642.9597 |
1712 | | 2643.3672 | But it's just not close as we used to be. | 2645.9862 |

1724 | | 2659.2227 | uh, have time | 2660.7557 |
1726 | | 2660.9415 | for a lot of socializing, but there are a number of | 2663.8706 |
1728 | | 2664.5718 | different groups that I | 2666.0999 |
1730 | | 2666.5914 | do. | 2666.9713 |

1752 | | 2701.7040 | sixteen or seventeen years. We play maybe once every two or three months or something, /uh so/ generally- generally when we play, | 2708.2587 |
1754 | | 2708.5344 | we might play | 2709.4798 |
1756 | | 2710.1870 | all night long. <laugh> | 2711.8470 |
1758 | | 2712.3324 | [But uh,] | 2713.1535 |
1759 | DCA_int_01 | 2712.3324 | [/inaudible/] | 2713.1535 |
1760 | DCA_se3_ag3_m_01 | 2713.4351 | we still do that, and we do it just as regularly. We might not call each other for | 2718.3059 |
1762 | | 2718.7194 | several | 2719.4685 |
1764 | | 2720.4813 | months. Then all of a sudden, you know, just get together, | 2723.4427 |

1794 | | 2760.8662 | Negro wives, colored wives. | 2762.9817 |

1804 | | 2776.2351 | has been a friend of mine for a number of years. We've been /his (tape distortion?)/- We | 2780.3568 |
1806 | | 2780.7403 | we have so many things in common. He's only- His birthday is in the same month as my birthday, and uh, | 2785.7263 |
1808 | | 2786.6673 | uh, his oldest child is four days older than my oldest child. And we joke about this of course, and we have visited back and forth. | 2794.6424 |
1810 | | 2795.2822 | And um, | 2796.2493 |
1812 | | 2796.4265 | and there's uh, | 2797.3437 |
1814 | | 2797.6613 | um, elderly woman that works with me, that uh, | 2801.5987 |
1816 | | 2802.1186 | I had been to her house. She's been to mine, and we | 2805.3188 |
1818 | | 2806.1818 | discuss books and | 2807.4823 |
1820 | | 2807.6920 | concerts and what have you. So, | 2809.5603 |
1822 | | 2809.9079 | I guess in that | 2810.7409 |
1824 | | 2810.9387 | area, of it, you- what you would call um- | 2813.6415 |
1826 | | 2814.9959 | I hadn't really thought about it until this day (laughing) but, until this day [<laugh>] | 2818.6173 |

1829 | | 2826.1997 | um, factor, that um, | 2828.1594 |
1831 | | 2828.5969 | as far as I'm concerned it's not. I don't know how they feel about it, but I- From all the evidence, it's all- | 2833.1440 |
1833 | | 2833.7133 | outward appearances and all. | 2835.0138 |
1834 | DCA_int_01 | 2835.6910 | What about your childhood friends? | 2837.6028 |
