862DTA_int_041029.2886Yeah.1029.5754
864 1030.1490What did the kids do after school got out in the afternoon?1032.7363

879 1053.6020uh,1054.1085 
881 1055.6523we would1055.9940

905 1080.3047She's trying to1081.0309 
907 1081.8831get a train of thought going in the class, and then all of sudden here's this buzz or someone talking back then. If it's the same individual, you know, that she has had to discipline and,1089.4631 
909 1090.0489maybe her-1090.5708 
911 1091.8766her uh.1092.5113

925DTA_se3_ag3_m_011110.4087As a matter of fact, uh,1111.6468
927 1112.1106I had a friend tell me1113.4775 
929 1113.7338after I had left there1115.2080

949DTA_se3_ag3_m_011131.4137[afterward.]1131.9382
950 1132.4206But I did have this habit. As I say, we were so crazy about these airplanes that all we could think was uh,1137.5598
952 1138.0540how they sound, and then it was- just completely dominated our lives at that time.1142.0956

1167 1422.1633Were they only Negro children or were they1424.2663 
1168DTA_se3_ag3_m_011424.3700[These were ] all Negroes, yes.1425.4800
1169DTA_int_041424.3700[white?]1424.7502
1170 1425.6265You only1426.0477
1171DTA_se3_ag3_m_011426.4015[Mm-hm.]1426.7371
1172DTA_int_041426.4015[Was the] area predominantly Negro [when you lived there?]1429.0186
1173DTA_se3_ag3_m_011428.5299[Yes.] Mm-hm.1429.3341
1174 1429.8284The school, I might say at the time, /RD-SCHOOL-2/, was, uh, mixed. Quite mixed. A matter of fact, I think it was more white than Negro there at the time.1435.2826
1176 1436.0148Cause this was back in the mid-thirties.1437.4813 
1177DTA_int_041437.6216Yeah.1437.8291
1179 1437.9573Mm-hm.1438.2257 
1180DTA_se3_ag3_m_011438.4149See.1438.6773
1182 1439.2753But uh,1440.0564 
1184 1440.9509the area I lived in was a Negro neighborhood,1443.2102 
1186 1443.4542and it was kind of surrounded by1444.9415 
1188 1445.2832white community there.1446.0948 
1189DTA_int_041446.3511Mm-hm.1446.7660
1191 1447.1020So, then you mainly kept within-1448.8053 
1193 1448.9335in your friend [group,]1450.0167 
1194DTA_se3_ag3_m_011449.7573[That's right. Yeah.]1450.5872
1195DTA_int_041450.3258[place /associate/.]1451.1729
1196DTA_se3_ag3_m_011451.2462That's right, yeah.1451.9418
1197DTA_int_041452.8032Alright.1453.0900
1199 1453.5782Uh. Was there any one person in that bunch of guys that1456.1855 
1201 1456.6323seemed to be the leader?1457.5965 
1203 1458.0297Or everyone seemed to sort of agree with him or follow him if he had suggestions?1462.1785 
1204DTA_se3_ag3_m_011466.0009I guess, of all of us, I guess I tended to be more1469.1130
1206 1469.9766leader1470.5775 
1208 1470.8399because uh, usually, is was at my instigation that we uh,1473.5842 
1210 1474.5266were in these games, we were building this or doing this or that.1477.4557 
1212 1479.0615I think of it.1479.6107 
1214 1479.8365Hm.1479.9890 
1215DTA_int_041480.3613Can you think of any reasons why this might have been?1482.5889
1217 1483.8636I mean, did you have access to more things or1486.1659 
1219 1486.8958/where you lived ?/?1488.0164 
1221 1489.0627Your idea wo-1489.7426 
1222DTA_se3_ag3_m_011490.7800I think it's more just my ideas. Um.1493.0573
1224 1493.6786Um.1494.2949 
1226 1494.6915There's no reason.1495.6007 
1228 1496.1153As far as I was concerned, it uh,1497.7201 
1230 1498.8551just happened that way.1499.9840 
1231DTA_int_041500.9331Mm-hm. Were they more around your house then or?1503.2397
1232DTA_se3_ag3_m_011503.3007Yeah.1503.5875
1234 1504.0452Yeah, they tended to, uh,1505.1846 
1236 1505.6606come over to my house.1506.7158 
1238 1507.5640And, as I look back, I think my mother was as much responsible for this as uh,1512.0186 
1240 1513.2060I wa- I mean, they were welcome to come around, play in the backyard and1516.4045 
1242 1517.0574whatnot.1517.3869 
1243DTA_int_041518.2777And this was the- a way in which you fostered the group then anyway.1521.1647
1245 1521.5308They came with you.1522.2752 
1246DTA_se3_ag3_m_011524.4964Yes. Uh.1525.4727
1248 1525.8144I- well, I'm the first one to introduce 'em- I guess maybe I read more than they did.1529.6026 
1249DTA_int_041529.7828Uh-huh.1530.0279
1250DTA_se3_ag3_m_011529.9626And that, um,1530.7193
1251 1530.9878I'd go to library1532.1411
1253 1532.4767and uh, I'd read about1533.8497 
1255 1534.5087these different, uh, things that we could make or do.1536.7916 
1257 1536.9807And I'd come back and I'd wanna do 'em, and uh,1539.0992 
1259 1539.2395and then they'd become interested, as- as a result,1541.6872 
1261 1542.0350and so we did 'em.1542.6757 
1262DTA_int_041543.0602Mm-hm.1543.2554
1263DTA_se3_ag3_m_011543.7809Making.1544.2113
1264DTA_int_041544.2440Um.1544.5369
1266 1545.4507How would a new friend join your group?1547.2569 
1267DTA_se3_ag3_m_011549.2646Eh.1549.5269
1269 1550.1311If he moved into the neighborhood, uh, usually, you know how kids are at first. You look at each other, not saying too much.1554.9573 
1271 1555.6469But after that, um,1556.8185 
1273 1557.5604they'd come right in, practically.1559.0798 
1275 1559.7386Just be, uh, he'd probably meet one of the1562.4479 
1277 1563.1346kids and uh1563.9674 
1279 1564.5536and then the kid would bring him around and introduce him to all of us.1566.8419 
1280DTA_int_041567.6718When you were young,1568.6298
1282 1568.9227what did you1569.6920

1968 2362.2610uh, down Linwood here2363.5362

1972 2366.6483hit it with such a force2368.0109 
1974 2368.5418that I guess it jammed the car into reverse and the car backed up and went up on the, uh,2372.4167 
1976 2372.7767lawn about2373.4479 
1978 2373.7347three or four houses away.2375.0067 
1980 2375.5193Across the street, and as a matter of fact, it was on a friend's2378.9042

1992 2391.8830And uh. I told 'em, for heaven's sakes, what are you tryna i- tryna do? And2395.2405 
1994 2395.9361this was earlier in the year.2397.3276 
1996 2397.6496When it was cold.2398.5236 
1998 2398.8226And I asked, well what are you gonna do once you get him out? I said2401.2225 
2000 2401.4422uh, he may have fractured ribs here, he may puncture a lung if they didn't puncture it already.2405.4876 
2002 2405.8781Leave him alone and wait until someone who has the2408.0788

2012 2413.6511they listened.2414.2431 
2014 2414.6763And it was fortunate that they did uh, stop, because uh, whe- after the police got there, they had to call the fire department, they had to2420.5318 
2016 2421.1847s- hacksaw the seat loose in order to get the man out from under the wheel.2424.4292 
2018 2425.6184And, uh, you can imagine, you s- tryna get him out of there. <laugh>2428.9460

2084 2500.5673moved on out. But, uh,2501.7984 
2086 2502.3598I star- afterward, I started thinking, that uh, evidently, it must have passed very close because2506.9639
