3 | | 1.5918 | I lived with my | 2.7982 |
5 | | 3.0767 | grandmother | 3.9222 |
7 | | 4.5151 | Was my mother's mother. | 6.2667 |
9 | | 7.3752 | And | 7.9733 |
11 | | 9.5562 | we lived in a house that was owned by our family. | 12.6122 |
13 | | 13.4784 | My grandmother owned half of the house, | 15.7366 |
15 | | 16.2883 | and | 16.8348 |
17 | | 17.3232 | her sister owned the other half. | 19.2618 |
19 | | 19.7104 | And it was what they call- now they call it a shotgun house | 23.0964 |
21 | | 23.6532 | where all the rooms- | 24.8854 |
23 | | 25.2257 | you could stand in one room and see all the way [out the back] door. <laugh> | 28.9984 |
24 | ROC_int_01 | 27.4582 | [<laugh>] | 27.9789 |
25 | | 29.3677 | [/?/] | 29.6014 |
26 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 29.4160 | [And they] had a long hallway. | 31.1020 |
27 | | 31.7361 | And, um, | 32.5301 |
29 | | 32.9117 | <ts> | 33.0303 |
31 | | 34.1645 | I lived | 35.0139 |
33 | | 35.3851 | with my grandmother, and | 37.2876 |
35 | | 37.6949 | my mother had come | 39.0664 |
37 | | 39.7005 | to Rochester. | 40.7059 |
39 | | 42.5400 | At the time I was too young to understand why, | 45.3963 |
41 | | 46.0975 | but, um, | 47.0603 |
43 | | 48.7669 | my mo- my- | 49.3959 |
45 | | 49.6640 | I owe my grandmother | 51.1540 |
47 | | 51.8861 | so much because | 53.4057 |
49 | | 53.9677 | I was an infant | 55.1845 |
51 | | 55.7104 | when my mother left. | 56.8292 |
53 | | 57.5510 | And | 58.0924 |
55 | | 58.9740 | we had these old timey stoves. | 61.0504 |
57 | | 62.1022 | I don't know if you've ever seen one. You ever been to Genesee Country Museum? | 65.6635 |
58 | ROC_int_01 | 66.3956 | [No.] | 66.8390 |
59 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 66.5503 | [They got] those old black wrought iron stoves, and you use this thing to | 70.8128 |
60 | | 71.2974 | put on the hole and that would take the top off, | 73.7516 |
62 | | 74.1899 | and they make a fire underneath. | 75.9480 |
63 | ROC_int_01 | 76.0977 | [Oh.] | 76.5358 |
64 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 76.3999 | [And my] grandmother had to do that | 78.1585 |
65 | | 78.6019 | like the middle of the night | 79.8032 |
67 | | 80.8756 | and boil potatoes and mash 'em | 82.9483 |
69 | | 83.0550 | to feed me. | 83.8904 |
71 | | 84.6225 | So I'm really dedicated | 86.3291 |
73 | | 86.9993 | to her | 87.5562 |
75 | | 88.0305 | for doing all she did for me. | 89.7666 |
77 | | 90.5091 | And | 90.9731 |
79 | | 91.1226 | my mother | 91.9578 |
81 | | 92.5095 | kept in touch | 93.5407 |
83 | | 94.8090 | with my grandmother, | 96.0553 |
85 | | 96.9834 | but I didn't know that. I was | 98.5476 |
87 | | 98.6156 | tiny baby. | 99.4994 |
89 | | 100.0460 | And she'd send money. | 101.3645 |
91 | | 102.1636 | And | 102.6895 |
93 | | 103.9011 | I often- | 104.5498 |
95 | | 104.8331 | as I got older I wondered, how did we survive? Cause | 108.2306 |
97 | | 108.6173 | my grandmother used to just pick peaches, | 111.0251 |
99 | | 111.6696 | and that was in season, | 113.2923 |
101 | | 113.9986 | you know, and she didn't have any other job. | 116.0352 |
103 | | 116.6384 | She picked peaches, | 117.7882 |
105 | | 118.4791 | and | 118.8337 |
107 | | 119.0409 | I had to stay home. | 120.3028 |
109 | | 121.1226 | And sometimes, as I got, | 122.8395 |
111 | | 123.9119 | you know, more comfortable | 125.3129 |
113 | | 125.7099 | with her working, | 126.8081 |
115 | | 128.4013 | she would let me go to the movie, | 129.9532 |
117 | | 130.8400 | but | 131.1232 |
119 | | 131.5378 | it used to be | 132.4520 |
121 | | 133.9159 | I had chores. | 135.0251 |
123 | | 135.5562 | I had to make the bed, | 136.7832 |
125 | | 138.1739 | and I had to feed the biddies. | 140.2466 |
127 | | 140.7828 | You know what biddies? | 141.7521 |
128 | ROC_int_01 | 142.1285 | Mm-mm. | 142.7155 |
129 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 142.7510 | They're little baby [chickens.] | 144.1746 |
130 | ROC_int_01 | 144.1560 | [Ah.] | 144.4998 |
131 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 144.5091 | They call 'em biddies. | 145.6949 |
133 | | 146.4734 | And that | 147.0612 |
135 | | 147.4737 | was my two jobs. | 148.8245 |
137 | | 149.4084 | <ts> | 149.4593 |
139 | | 149.6480 | So | 150.1327 |
141 | | 150.6998 | when she would come home, | 152.0971 |
143 | | 152.9375 | and she'd go in the- | 154.2213 |
145 | | 154.5976 | and then she'd go here, | 155.9316 |
147 | | 156.6122 | and then she'd t- come to me, and she said, go get the switch. | 159.6644 |
149 | | 160.9843 | And I couldn't understand, how does she know | 163.1226 |
151 | | 163.4629 | I didn't do my chores? (laughing) | 164.9942 |
153 | | 165.7263 | I made the bed, | 166.8400 |
155 | | 167.2098 | but I didn't make the bed. | 168.8236 |
157 | | 169.1484 | I spread the cover over it, | 171.0921 |
159 | | 172.2213 | and | 172.6698 |
161 | | 173.4109 | I didn't feed the biddies at all. | 175.3856 |
163 | | 175.9630 | And that's cause kids would | 177.1901 |
165 | | 177.7882 | tease me and scare me, | 179.3696 |
167 | | 179.9677 | so I would get out of the house as- | 181.8178 |
169 | | 181.9272 | as soon as I could. | 183.1592 |
171 | | 184.4017 | And I'd get a whipping. | 185.3438 |
173 | | 186.5142 | One- finally I think she was tired of whipping | 188.9993 |
175 | | 189.9211 | me. /So- was/ getting- (laughing) | 191.8649 |
177 | | 192.1995 | she was getting tired of it. | 193.4887 |
179 | | 194.4528 | So she t- s- | 195.4840 |
181 | | 195.7469 | told me to come out | 196.8179 |
183 | | 197.6893 | to the coop | 198.4163 |
185 | | 198.6328 | and she showed me | 199.8032 |
187 | | 200.6126 | she had | 201.0870 |
189 | | 201.9480 | a pan on top of the coop, and she had a piece of glass on top of it. | 205.9475 |
191 | | 206.7828 | If I had watered the biddies, | 208.5461 |
193 | | 208.8967 | the glass | 209.6996 |
195 | | 210.0553 | would have fell off the pan. | 211.4010 |
197 | | 212.5095 | So she didn't whip me, she said, because I didn't feed the biddies. | 216.3647 |
199 | | 216.7050 | She whipped cause I lied | 218.5662 |
201 | | 219.5407 | and said I fed 'em. | 220.5615 |
203 | | 221.1440 | <ts> | 221.2383 |
205 | | 222.3080 | So as the years went by, | 224.7106 |
207 | | 224.8292 | my mother came to town. | 226.3862 |
209 | | 227.4109 | She used to send me | 228.7821 |
211 | | 229.2078 | packages, you know, but | 230.4070 |
213 | | 230.5268 | she came to town one time like at night, | 233.0874 |
215 | | 234.4059 | And then she left just as quick as she came. | 236.8240 |
217 | | 237.7263 | And that was my first time | 239.5398 |
219 | | 239.7821 | knowing my mother, and I was a little girl. I still remember. | 243.2056 |
221 | | 244.4172 | It's come to find out that, um, | 246.7256 |
223 | | 247.3177 | <ts> | 247.4375 |
225 | | 248.5405 | my dad | 249.3176 |
227 | | 249.4206 | or my father- well I don't know what to call him now. | 252.3028 |
229 | | 253.1690 | He | 253.5815 |
231 | | 253.9630 | and my mother- | 254.9478 |
233 | | 256.7973 | uh, he's my father, | 258.4214 |
235 | | 259.3907 | and to this day, I don't know if it was consensual, | 262.7214 |
237 | | 263.3902 | or if he took advantage of her. | 265.5454 |
239 | | 265.9372 | And being the richest boy in town, you know, it's- | 268.6389 |
241 | | 268.8231 | his dad owned the movie theaters. There were two. | 271.7001 |
243 | | 272.8034 | He owned the movie theaters. He owned the hotel. | 275.5088 |
245 | | 276.0347 | He owned a grocery store and | 278.4889 |
247 | | 278.9890 | something else. I don't know. He had a lot of influence in the town. | 282.4627 |
248 | ROC_int_01 | 282.5452 | Mm. | 282.8287 |
249 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 284.3755 | And | 284.8550 |
251 | | 285.8139 | the story is that | 287.4418 |
253 | | 287.8388 | my mom had to leave | 289.2618 |
255 | | 290.1538 | town in a hurry once I was born. | 292.5100 |
257 | | 294.0502 | And a friend of my m- | 295.8908 |
259 | | 296.4528 | family lives on /RD-ADDRESS-1/ Street, | 298.2772 |
261 | | 298.3876 | Miss /RD-NAME-2/. | 299.2000 |
263 | | 300.5555 | And I- | 301.0401 |
265 | | 301.7516 | when my father died, | 303.2180 |
267 | | 303.4040 | I w- | 303.6945 |
269 | | 303.7659 | asked Miss /RD-NAME-2/ | 304.8760 |
271 | | 306.1172 | did- was my fa- did she know my father. | 308.7364 |
273 | | 309.7469 | And she said, girl, yeah. | 311.2717 |
275 | | 311.6841 | She said, everybody know your father. | 313.7052 |
277 | | 314.7673 | I said, who was he? | 316.0460 |
279 | | 316.7162 | And she said, | 317.4315 |
281 | | 318.8751 | that was /RD-NAME-4/ boy, | 320.6539 |
283 | | 320.9993 | you know, like that. | 321.9996 |
285 | | 322.3966 | And I said, | 323.1235 |
287 | | 324.4420 | okay, | 325.1861 |
289 | | 325.4735 | cause | 325.8032 |
291 | | 326.3033 | that wasn't my father's last name, /RD-NAME-3/. | 328.8967 |
293 | | 330.1894 | And I said, is that | 331.3466 |
295 | | 331.4828 | t- | 331.6540 |
297 | | 331.7298 | is that true, /RD-NAME-2/? She said, | 333.4582 |
299 | | 333.8913 | yeah. She said, everybody know. They was talking- you was the talk of the town. | 337.4680 |
301 | | 337.9114 | /RD-NAME-3/ done got her a white baby. | 340.1903 |
303 | | 340.9018 | And- uh, but she said, /RD-NAME-3/ had to leave town | 344.1022 |
305 | | 344.9787 | after you was born. | 346.1491 |
307 | | 346.6337 | She said, she left in a wagon. They /throw/ the tarp over, | 349.8805 |
309 | | 350.3188 | and she left in the middle of the night. | 352.0924 |
311 | | 352.9108 | And she couldn't come back cause they woulda killed her | 355.3546 |
313 | | 355.7155 | for messing with that white boy. | 357.2365 |
315 | | 358.3708 | So I said, well what if she wasn't messing with him? He was messing with her. | 362.5456 |
317 | | 362.9168 | She said, didn't matter. | 364.0305 |
318 | ROC_int_01 | 364.2515 | [Mm.] | 364.6432 |
319 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 364.3192 | [She had] to get out of town. | 365.7357 |
320 | | 367.1484 | So those are the things that the family kept from me. | 370.0614 |
322 | | 371.1685 | And | 371.8182 |
324 | | 372.0368 | <ts> | 372.0876 |
326 | | 372.7617 | so | 373.2824 |
328 | | 373.7001 | I often wonder, | 374.9323 |
330 | | 375.4685 | how did they | 376.3759 |
332 | | 377.0204 | meet up here? | 378.1739 |
334 | | 378.8390 | Cause I worked | 379.5454 |
336 | | 379.8135 | at the library at the /RD-WORK-6/. | 382.2006 |
338 | | 383.1737 | And | 383.5913 |
340 | | 384.2049 | this | 384.4472 |
342 | | 384.6998 | kid used to come in there all the time, and he was really really | 388.3347 |
344 | | 388.7420 | out of it. It was psychiatric, so, you know, he had some | 391.9733 |
346 | | 392.3291 | problems. | 393.0354 |
348 | | 393.9996 | So he would come in, and | 395.5552 |
350 | | 395.9935 | he'd always leave me a message | 397.8496 |
352 | | 398.2517 | by the title of a book. | 399.9789 |
354 | | 400.4481 | He'd have messages | 401.6841 |
356 | | 402.1069 | titled like- | 403.0246 |
358 | | 404.3755 | I can't even think of any now. | 405.9686 |
360 | | 406.6853 | But the | 407.2665 |
362 | | 407.5552 | titles, if you put 'em all together, it was a message. | 410.8756 |
364 | | 411.4066 | So it was kind of scary. | 412.9108 |
366 | | 413.6738 | I was very nervous, | 414.9164 |
368 | | 415.6124 | but | 415.8857 |
370 | | 417.1592 | I didn't let him know that. | 418.6544 |
372 | | 418.7971 | And I didn't run from him or anything like that. | 421.5248 |
374 | | 422.4425 | So one day he was- um, | 424.2573 |
376 | | 425.3902 | he was reading | 426.4730 |
378 | | 427.2670 | in the library, and, um, | 429.0870 |
380 | | 429.1849 | he used to read the Who's Who. | 430.8245 |
382 | | 431.6944 | So he said, /RD-NAME-1/, come here. | 433.5454 |
384 | | 434.2414 | So I went over, and he said, | 435.9054 |
386 | | 436.4217 | this is my dad | 437.5398 |
388 | | 438.4317 | or father, whatever he said. | 440.1744 |
390 | | 441.1540 | I said, oh, | 442.2934 |
392 | | 443.0359 | /RD-ADDRESS-4/ Georgia, I said, that's where I'm from. | 445.7465 |
394 | | 447.1646 | He said, really? I said, yeah. I said, I knew some /RD-NAME-3/. I said, you must, uh, be the /RD-NAME-3/ | 452.7003 |
396 | | 453.1076 | from /RD-ADDRESS-4/. | 454.1852 |
398 | | 454.8554 | I said, you know /RD-NAME-4/? | 456.5809 |
400 | | 456.9457 | He said, it was my grandfather. | 458.6126 |
402 | | 459.3809 | I said, really? | 460.5461 |
404 | | 461.3748 | And he said, yeah. | 462.6844 |
406 | | 463.1535 | I said, oh, I knew them. | 464.5765 |
408 | | 464.8343 | I knew. | 465.4501 |
410 | | 465.5722 | your family, and like that. | 467.0345 |
412 | | 468.2100 | So the very next day- | 469.6920 |
414 | | 469.8052 | well actually | 470.7570 |
416 | | 471.5458 | his father, | 473.0153 |
418 | | 473.3078 | it was a professor at the U of R. | 475.4423 |
420 | | 476.4425 | He was- | 476.8632 |
422 | | 476.9380 | he was a professor of economics | 479.4727 |
424 | | 479.6841 | at the U of R. | 480.6637 |
426 | | 481.4887 | But he'd never visit /RD-NAME-1/ | 483.1746 |
428 | | 483.5768 | beca- | 483.9068 |
430 | | 484.3862 | his name was /RD-NAME-2/, but | 485.7151 |
432 | | 486.2667 | everybody called him /RD-NAME-1/, | 487.7155 |
434 | | 488.3084 | the son. | 488.9117 |
436 | | 490.6389 | So | 491.1634 |
438 | | 491.2323 | f- | 491.3817 |
440 | | 491.5667 | /RD-NAME-1/ would go up | 492.4575 |
442 | | 492.5967 | to the U of R. Every time he get a honor card that he could leave the grounds, | 496.6647 |
444 | | 496.9881 | he'd go to the U of R. | 498.2874 |
446 | | 498.7720 | And he'd smash all the windows in his father's car, | 501.9738 |
448 | | 502.5564 | or he'd spray paint 'em, | 503.9368 |
450 | | 504.4884 | but security wouldn't, | 505.7877 |
452 | | 506.1950 | and the father wouldn't press charges. So they would bring him back | 509.3748 |
454 | | 509.9986 | to the /RD-WORK-6/. | 511.4423 |
456 | | 511.6537 | He'd lose his privilege, | 512.9117 |
458 | | 513.2571 | then when he earned the honor card, | 514.9121 |
460 | | 515.1943 | he'd go and do the same thing. | 516.8339 |
462 | | 517.5196 | His father would | 518.4786 |
464 | | 518.8756 | visit him, | 519.7057 |
466 | | 520.0769 | but he stopped | 521.0809 |
468 | | 521.3438 | because /RD-NAME-1/ would become violent | 523.3185 |
470 | | 523.8547 | on the ward he was staying on. | 525.6335 |
472 | | 526.2470 | So he stopped visiting him, | 528.0657 |
474 | | 528.6586 | but his mother would visit him. | 530.4116 |
476 | | 531.2365 | And he got along pretty good with his mother, but he did have a temper. | 535.4216 |
478 | | 536.6694 | But he never | 537.4891 |
480 | | 538.0356 | displayed the temper with me. | 539.8285 |
482 | | 540.6586 | So | 541.1999 |
484 | | 541.7361 | the day after | 542.9787 |
486 | | 543.7572 | he was reading the Who's Who, | 545.4109 |
488 | | 546.1018 | and his father | 547.2670 |
490 | | 547.7568 | was in it, | 548.4992 |
492 | | 549.4221 | and, | 549.8346 |
494 | | 550.7575 | you know, I'd say, I know | 551.9007 |
496 | | 552.9422 | the f- the /RD-NAME-3/. | 554.2208 |
498 | | 555.0045 | The very next day, | 556.2670 |
500 | | 556.4094 | his father came | 557.4521 |
502 | | 558.3595 | who n- | 558.7892 |
504 | | 558.8855 | had stopped visiting years before. | 561.4169 |
506 | | 563.0558 | He came, | 563.9014 |
508 | | 565.1697 | and h- | 565.7111 |
510 | | 566.1789 | his wife came with him. | 567.8287 |
512 | | 568.6949 | He introduced hisself, | 570.3448 |
514 | | 571.2419 | told me where he was from. And | 573.0261 |
516 | | 573.1469 | I shook his hand, and I was glad to meet him. | 575.3291 |
518 | | 576.8500 | H- well, uh, | 578.0898 |
520 | | 578.1830 | I think we | 578.8171 |
522 | | 579.1069 | chatted a little bit, | 580.2979 |
524 | | 581.1228 | and soon after that | 582.8294 |
526 | | 583.6234 | he would call, and- | 585.0966 |
528 | | 585.5606 | or his wife would call, and they would invite me | 588.3138 |
530 | | 589.2058 | out for lunch. | 590.0771 |
532 | | 591.1636 | And it was to thank me for | 593.0403 |
534 | | 593.2105 | being nice to | 594.2932 |
536 | | 594.5922 | their son. | 595.2161 |
538 | | 596.0809 | So we'd always go | 597.2779 |
540 | | 597.3553 | to, uh, Phillips European. You ever go [there?] | 600.0970 |
541 | ROC_int_01 | 599.8189 | [Mm-hm.] | 600.4039 |
542 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 600.2811 | [Ooh], I love that [place.] | 601.6028 |
543 | ROC_int_01 | 601.1542 | [Yeah, me] too. | 601.9070 |
544 | | 602.0809 | [<laugh>] | 602.5243 |
545 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 602.4996 | [I-] one time I dropped the, um, | 604.7568 |
546 | | 604.9372 | <ts> | 605.1228 |
548 | | 605.7312 | torte, | 606.0973 |
550 | | 606.3138 | raspberry torte. | 607.3957 |
552 | | 607.6335 | I dropped it, and I | 608.8064 |
554 | | 608.9578 | picked it up, and I ate it. [<laugh>] | 611.4167 |
555 | ROC_int_01 | 611.3636 | [It's] so [good.] | 612.1849 |
556 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 612.0303 | [That's] how good they [were.] (laughing) | 613.7317 |
557 | ROC_int_01 | 613.2109 | [<laugh>] | 613.9379 |
558 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 614.2253 | So we would go there, | 615.7772 |
560 | | 616.4010 | and we would eat, | 617.6333 |
562 | | 617.9117 | and he would go back to work. | 619.6079 |
564 | | 619.8348 | His wife was /RD-NAME-1/. | 621.2203 |
566 | | 621.5967 | She'd go wherever she go. | 623.0146 |
568 | | 623.3084 | And I would go back to work. | 624.6747 |
570 | | 625.9482 | And, um, | 626.6893 |
572 | | 627.0399 | <ts> | 627.1842 |
574 | | 627.8803 | so, uh, not too long | 630.1024 |
576 | | 630.4737 | after | 631.2161 |
578 | | 631.5203 | he came there | 632.4573 |
580 | | 633.6019 | to meet me, | 634.4784 |
582 | | 635.2156 | he brought his daughter | 636.4685 |
584 | | 637.0253 | who lived in Boston. | 638.5346 |
586 | | 639.8957 | Her name is /RD-NAME-1/. | 641.1744 |
588 | | 642.4324 | So he introduced /RD-NAME-1/ | 644.4676 |
590 | | 644.9729 | to /RD-NAME-1/. | 645.7617 |
591 | ROC_int_01 | 645.9164 | <laugh> | 646.3752 |
592 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 646.6640 | She was glad to meet me. | 648.4634 |
594 | | 649.6440 | And, um, | 650.6532 |
596 | | 651.5091 | we- | 652.0453 |
598 | | 653.3394 | she and I, we never went anywhere. She was just here visiting, but | 656.7938 |
600 | | 656.9022 | he brought her there to meet me. | 658.4010 |
602 | | 659.6848 | And | 660.0045 |
604 | | 660.5149 | al- I always thought that | 662.2000 |
606 | | 663.0760 | he told his wife about me, | 665.4425 |
608 | | 666.4118 | but he didn't tell anybody else until I met /RD-NAME-1/. | 669.7978 |
610 | | 670.6021 | And I'm thinking, maybe he told | 672.4479 |
612 | | 672.8191 | /RD-NAME-1/ | 673.3450 |
614 | | 674.7615 | because he was too proud to tell me | 677.3445 |
616 | | 679.0769 | cause | 679.3669 |
618 | | 679.4591 | he's from the old days in the South. | 681.5194 |
620 | | 681.9886 | You didn't mingle like that. | 683.4477 |
622 | | 684.0870 | And I think | 684.6997 |
624 | | 684.7724 | it woulda been embarrassment to him | 686.8749 |
626 | | 687.6225 | for anybody to know | 688.9114 |
628 | | 689.3858 | that I was his ch- | 690.3193 |
630 | | 690.6182 | his child. | 691.3605 |
632 | | 691.7678 | So | 692.2201 |
634 | | 693.1894 | I never said anything, | 694.5402 |
636 | | 695.1022 | but all my life | 696.2571 |
638 | | 696.9222 | I had been told he was my father. | 699.1018 |
640 | | 700.3649 | But my mother, she would never talk about it. | 702.7005 |
642 | | 703.0150 | I don't where I left off now. | 704.6893 |
643 | ROC_int_01 | 705.8184 | [Uh-] | 706.1793 |
644 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 706.1174 | [Oh], he woulda been embarrassed | 707.7828 |
645 | | 708.2520 | I think | 708.8315 |
647 | | 708.9082 | cause in the old days you didn't- | 710.7615 |
649 | | 711.7823 | I s- like I said, I don't know if it was consensual. They was | 715.1800 |
651 | | 715.8503 | going behind the bend somewhere, | 717.8339 |
653 | | 718.4990 | or if he was forcing hisself and she was scared | 721.4584 |
654 | ROC_int_01 | 721.6801 | Mm-hm. | 722.1390 |
655 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 722.1737 | cause they had so much influence down there. | 724.7980 |
657 | | 726.2829 | So, um, | 727.4481 |
659 | | 728.4366 | <ts> | 728.5476 |
661 | | 729.2564 | uh, | 729.9215 |
663 | | 731.0919 | I would tell my mother | 732.4923 |
665 | | 732.6299 | every time I see him | 733.9173 |
667 | | 734.6274 | or I- he'd call me | 735.8597 |
669 | | 736.5196 | or he'd send me a note. | 737.8601 |
671 | | 738.0509 | Like- | 738.4118 |
673 | | 739.4481 | and my mother would get | 740.3897 |
675 | | 740.5357 | very upset, and she would drink. | 742.9888 |
677 | | 743.4013 | She would get drunk like for days. | 745.6750 |
679 | | 746.4882 | And I think it was | 747.7411 |
681 | | 748.3598 | bad memories for her, | 749.8137 |
683 | | 750.1798 | so I stopped telling her. | 751.5306 |
685 | | 752.1273 | Whenever I would | 753.0811 |
687 | | 754.1329 | meet them for lunch or | 755.5920 |
689 | | 756.2159 | go to the house, I would never, | 757.8021 |
691 | | 757.9561 | um, tell my mother | 759.3595 |
693 | | 760.2618 | because I didn't wanna hurt her like that. | 762.2623 |
695 | | 762.5304 | [I didn't] know the story, | 763.8760 |
696 | ROC_int_01 | 762.5587 | [Mm.] | 762.8949 |
697 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 764.2253 | so it was no reason to | 765.6792 |
699 | | 766.3288 | keep bringing it up to her. | 767.7415 |
701 | | 768.3190 | <ts> | 768.4218 |
703 | | 768.8655 | So, um, | 769.8967 |
705 | | 771.9473 | when I was | 772.9372 |
707 | | 773.4992 | ten, | 774.0870 |
709 | | 775.3038 | my mother- uh, oh, and I went all over the town, | 778.3082 |
711 | | 778.7207 | you know, nobody bothered me. | 780.1849 |
713 | | 780.5819 | Like, my grandmother picked peaches in season, | 783.5142 |
715 | | 784.1845 | and we didn't have babysitters. | 785.8189 |
717 | | 786.4015 | So after I'd | 787.3192 |
719 | | 787.7472 | do my- | 788.3954 |
721 | | 788.5346 | I so-called did my chores, (laughing) | 790.7793 |
722 | ROC_int_01 | 791.1672 | [Mm-hm.] | 791.5459 |
723 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 791.5104 | [I] go to the movie | 792.7882 |
724 | | 793.3553 | which | 793.7678 |
726 | | 794.6841 | was owned by the | 795.6264 |
728 | | 795.7779 | /RD-NAME-3/. | 796.6124 |
730 | | 797.5611 | And | 797.9684 |
732 | | 799.2625 | I c- | 799.5761 |
734 | | 799.8451 | I couldn't sit upstairs. I had to sit downstairs | 803.8704 |
736 | | 804.1540 | where the white people sit. | 805.2780 |
738 | | 806.8440 | That was what he insisted, the father. | 809.4992 |
739 | ROC_int_01 | 809.9168 | [Mm.] | 810.4221 |
740 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 810.2984 | [/RD-NAME-1/] | 811.0666 |
741 | | 811.5976 | /RD-NAME-4/ they called /him/. | 813.1946 |
743 | | 813.5761 | So I would sit downstairs | 815.7518 |
745 | | 816.2674 | with the white people. | 817.2095 |
747 | | 818.0600 | And these were weekdays, | 819.5059 |
749 | | 819.6508 | so I think it mighta been | 821.3497 |
751 | | 821.7207 | to protect me | 822.7364 |
753 | | 823.5665 | that he had me sit downstairs and watch the movies. | 826.8545 |
755 | | 827.3804 | If I was sitting upstairs, there's nobody watching me. | 830.3192 |
757 | | 831.5655 | S- and I think he also | 833.2721 |
759 | | 833.9372 | supported my grandmother and me | 836.2031 |
761 | | 836.9689 | cause we had everything we needed. | 838.6844 |
763 | | 838.9061 | She couldn't- | 839.5918 |
765 | | 840.0971 | she couldn't support us | 841.4118 |
767 | | 841.7366 | just picking peaches | 842.9121 |
769 | | 843.4006 | whenever the peach season was, summer I guess. | 845.9114 |
771 | | 847.0715 | And- | 847.4096 |
773 | | 847.5349 | and I- | 848.0885 |
775 | | 848.2429 | I wore shoes. I had shoes. | 850.2616 |
777 | | 850.9576 | And I wore corduroys, you know, I done had | 853.4324 |
779 | | 853.6180 | sweater. | 854.2780 |
781 | | 854.8864 | I had nice things, so I know | 856.9731 |
783 | | 857.8083 | the money was coming from somewhere. | 859.9892 |
785 | | 860.6131 | And my mother would send a box now and then, but it was mostly goodies. | 864.4786 |
787 | | 865.2767 | It wasn't clothes or anything. She didn't know how big I was or whatever. | 868.8751 |
789 | | 870.4889 | So, | 871.0303 |
791 | | 871.4634 | um, | 872.0511 |
793 | | 873.0256 | when I was ten | 874.1224 |
795 | | 874.8236 | my grandmother- | 875.9011 |
797 | | 876.5456 | my mother | 877.2262 |
799 | | 878.8787 | and my grandmother, they musta been writing letters or something. | 882.3291 |
801 | | 882.7518 | I don't think they had | 883.6514 |
803 | | 883.7417 | telephones. I know we didn't. | 885.6532 |
805 | | 886.5039 | So they probably had, | 888.0971 |
807 | | 888.9581 | uh, | 889.4994 |
809 | | 889.8913 | communication by letter. | 891.5191 |
811 | | 892.6328 | And my mother ca- showed up to bring me here. | 895.6129 |
813 | | 896.9482 | And my grandmother was very upset, | 899.4474 |
815 | | 899.8908 | and she moved to Florida with her sister. | 902.4172 |
817 | | 903.7615 | Left my mother and me there with the pigs and the chickens and <laugh> all the vegetables, everything, the eggs, | 910.1121 |
819 | | 910.5297 | the whole house, | 911.3443 |
821 | | 911.8393 | well, our half, everything. | 913.4066 |
823 | | 914.0975 | So | 914.6543 |
825 | | 916.2977 | I ate so many | 917.6640 |
827 | | 918.4116 | chick- | 918.6646 |
829 | | 918.7629 | I ate chicken cooked so many ways. [<laugh>] | 922.4678 |
830 | ROC_int_01 | 921.9007 | [<laugh>] | 922.5916 |
831 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 923.1123 | I got so tired of chicken. | 924.9426 |
833 | | 925.8294 | I remember my | 926.6760 |
835 | | 926.7752 | g- s- excuse [me.] | 927.7563 |
836 | ROC_int_01 | 927.6532 | [Yup.] | 928.0038 |
837 | | 928.2170 | /Chicken/ so many [different kind of ways. <laugh>] | 930.5198 |
838 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 928.9267 | [Oh yeah, all kind of] chicken. | 930.9735 |

1003 | | 1094.2419 | they insisted that I couldn't go to fifth grade | 1096.8878 |
1005 | | 1097.0344 | cause | 1097.4165 |
1007 | | 1097.8341 | I was coming from the South. | 1099.3888 |
1009 | | 1100.0666 | So my grandmother said, | 1101.5243 |

1032 | | 1130.0253 | So (breathy) I said, okay. | 1132.3080 |
1034 | | 1132.9532 | I mean, she said okay. So I went to Number /RD-SCHOOL-1/ School in the fifth grade. | 1137.3078 |
1036 | | 1138.4523 | That's where I met my husband. | 1139.9424 |

1064 | | 1162.6328 | uh, | 1163.5248 |
1066 | | 1166.1955 | my teacher then was Miss /RD-NAME-3/, | 1168.9061 |
1068 | | 1169.6743 | and she had us for fifth grade and sixth grade | 1172.8385 |

1076 | | 1176.0043 | let us go. | 1176.9375 |
1078 | | 1178.0217 | And when we graduated from Number /RD-SCHOOL-1/ School, | 1180.9834 |
1080 | | 1181.6382 | she stopped teaching. | 1182.7931 |
1082 | | 1183.2313 | She said she'd never teach another class. | 1185.5655 |
1084 | | 1186.3389 | She loved us so much. | 1187.7310 |
1086 | | 1188.2724 | So she, um, | 1189.6129 |

1162 | | 1267.2726 | after seventh grade, | 1268.4842 |

1200 | | 1307.7877 | you still had to go. | 1309.0406 |
1202 | | 1309.6232 | So | 1310.0975 |
1204 | | 1310.4069 | most of the time, in the beginning, | 1312.2925 |
1206 | | 1313.0143 | when I'd come back to school, | 1314.6745 |
1208 | | 1316.0975 | school was about over cause | 1317.5769 |
1210 | | 1317.6427 | I would go the wrong way. | 1319.1020 |
1212 | | 1319.8290 | I wasn't familiar | 1321.1231 |
1214 | | 1321.4066 | with the city, you know. | 1322.5719 |
1216 | | 1323.1428 | So instead of me coming out the school and going right, | 1326.1589 |
1218 | | 1326.8807 | I would come out | 1327.9325 |
1220 | | 1328.1697 | go left | 1328.9276 |
1222 | | 1329.2046 | cause I probably was coming out a different door. I don't remember. | 1332.5147 |
1224 | | 1333.2777 | My mother | 1333.9119 |
1226 | | 1335.0153 | had a restaurant inside of the /RD-WORK-6/, | 1338.3961 |
1228 | | 1339.3035 | so I had to go there for lunch | 1341.2665 |
1230 | | 1341.7357 | which was | 1342.2874 |
1232 | | 1342.4936 | like | 1342.7565 |
1234 | | 1342.9061 | a block or two from the school, but I could never find it. | 1346.1749 |
1236 | | 1346.6337 | That's cause I was going the wrong [way.] (laughing) | 1349.5041 |

1242 | | 1356.8343 | uh, | 1357.3138 |
1244 | | 1358.7317 | we- | 1359.1737 |
1246 | | 1359.4727 | we would | 1359.9161 |
1248 | | 1360.2616 | go home for lunch | 1361.5402 |
1250 | | 1362.7106 | and | 1363.4994 |
1252 | | 1365.5140 | come back to school. | 1366.7720 |
1254 | | 1367.2154 | We'd hang out, not hang out, | 1368.9709 |
1256 | | 1369.0400 | but if- if we- if I was good, my mother would let me stay on the playground | 1373.4216 |
1258 | | 1374.1394 | and play | 1375.0148 |
1260 | | 1375.8604 | on the playground with the other kids. | 1377.7563 |
1262 | | 1378.2874 | So, | 1378.7462 |
1264 | | 1379.3598 | <ts> | 1379.4423 |
1266 | | 1379.6588 | uh, | 1380.2724 |
1268 | | 1382.1181 | if we got into tr- I got in trouble | 1384.2032 |

1272 | | 1385.2257 | coming back too late, | 1386.4013 |

1279 | | 1391.4990 | come to school and straighten it out. | 1393.2520 |
1281 | | 1393.9841 | So | 1394.4481 |
1283 | | 1395.5759 | and you didn't have a choice of where you go to high school. | 1398.4786 |
1285 | | 1399.0870 | If you lived | 1399.9397 |
1287 | | 1400.0108 | on the- | 1400.9379 |
1289 | | 1401.6635 | I'd had to draw it at work. | 1403.1278 |
1291 | | 1403.6588 | If you lived on the north side of the school, | 1406.4481 |
1293 | | 1407.5604 | you went to Franklin. | 1408.6483 |
1295 | | 1409.3959 | If you lived on the south side of the school, | 1412.0099 |
1297 | | 1412.3605 | you went to East. | 1413.4109 |
1299 | | 1414.4059 | And if you was | 1415.3959 |
1301 | | 1416.2105 | a boy, | 1416.9478 |
1303 | | 1417.8191 | you had a choice | 1418.9895 |
1305 | | 1419.5604 | of going to, | 1420.6483 |
1307 | | 1421.3010 | um, | 1421.8393 |
1309 | | 1421.9652 | the school | 1422.8034 |
1311 | | 1423.7882 | on whatever side of the building, | 1425.2923 |
1313 | | 1426.1172 | or you could go to | 1427.3701 |
1315 | | 1427.9991 | Edison Tech | 1429.3035 |
1317 | | 1429.8964 | or Paul Revere | 1431.2000 |
1319 | | 1431.3902 | Trade Schools. | 1432.4627 |
1321 | | 1432.5658 | They used to be on Clifford Avenue | 1434.6178 |

1323 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1436.1645 | near Joseph Avenue, | 1437.7563 |

1327 | | 1438.5539 | took the whole block from | 1440.0507 |

1331 | | 1442.3914 | to- um, | 1443.3902 |
1333 | | 1444.2306 | I don't remember the name of the street, but it's a street | 1447.0303 |
1335 | | 1447.1488 | before you get to Joseph Avenue. | 1449.0757 |
1337 | | 1449.3026 | It was a huge school, and it was all boys. | 1451.8135 |
1339 | | 1452.3806 | So they w- | 1452.9822 |
1341 | | 1453.0788 | their boys | 1453.8397 |
1343 | | 1454.1800 | like | 1454.5100 |
1345 | | 1455.0565 | that- | 1455.4573 |
1347 | | 1456.1894 | they may not have been able to | 1457.8180 |
1349 | | 1457.9141 | teach them | 1458.7828 |
1351 | | 1459.6129 | to grade level. I don't know. | 1461.2000 |
1353 | | 1461.8027 | But | 1462.1618 |
1355 | | 1462.2617 | that was the choices they had. | 1464.0655 |
1357 | | 1464.2293 | You either go to | 1465.3138 |
1359 | | 1466.4251 | Edison, | 1467.2000 |
1361 | | 1467.3293 | or you go to Paul Revere. | 1468.9318 |
1363 | | 1469.5144 | My cousin went to Paul Revere, and he learned tailoring, | 1472.7987 |
1365 | | 1474.0811 | and a lot of 'em did. | 1475.4062 |
1367 | | 1475.6433 | They took up tailoring. | 1476.8962 |
1369 | | 1477.4530 | They didn't have computers back then, and I often wonder, why did they call that Edison Technical? | 1482.2620 |
1371 | | 1482.9942 | What technical stuff did we have back then, you know? (laughing) | 1486.1172 |
1373 | | 1487.0607 | So maybe- maybe I got the name wrong. Maybe they just been calling it that in the last forty years or so. | 1493.5041 |
1375 | | 1493.6330 | I don't know. | 1494.2105 |
1377 | | 1494.8395 | But that was | 1495.5355 |
1379 | | 1496.2419 | what you did. | 1496.9637 |
1381 | | 1497.3284 | And you walked. | 1498.1636 |
1383 | | 1498.9009 | There was no school buses. | 1500.3703 |
1384 | ROC_int_01 | 1500.6554 | [Mm.] | 1501.1423 |

1391 | ROC_int_01 | 1508.9623 | Yeah. | 1509.2974 |
1392 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1510.2152 | I lived | 1510.7050 |
1394 | | 1511.1381 | like | 1511.5176 |
1396 | | 1511.6024 | w- | 1511.6931 |
1398 | | 1511.7944 | cross the street there where the /RD-ADDRESS-4/ | 1514.1903 |
1400 | | 1514.6904 | plant is, | 1515.4985 |
1402 | | 1516.5194 | and I had to walk to /RD-SCHOOL-1/ High School | 1518.6745 |
1404 | | 1519.3602 | on | 1519.9119 |
1406 | | 1520.1439 | /RD-ADDRESS-4/ and /RD-ADDRESS-1/ Street. | 1522.0399 |
1408 | | 1523.4629 | And that was a long walk. | 1524.8389 |

1410 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1525.8810 | But you had to do it, and you didn't think anything of it. | 1528.5214 |
1412 | | 1528.6184 | You just did it | 1529.4629 |
1414 | | 1529.8032 | cause that's all we knew. | 1530.9581 |

1416 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1531.6644 | [And parents] didn't | 1532.6337 |
1417 | | 1532.9070 | drive us. | 1533.8697 |
1419 | | 1534.4317 | We didn't have school buses. | 1536.0146 |
1421 | | 1536.2517 | Who could afford | 1537.1240 |
1423 | | 1537.2053 | bus e- | 1537.7057 |
1425 | | 1537.8810 | bus fare. | 1538.6853 |
1427 | | 1539.4831 | And | 1539.9883 |
1429 | | 1540.4008 | I don't even know if- | 1541.6949 |
1431 | | 1543.2107 | I don't even know about bus- I think that never came up. | 1546.3389 |
1433 | | 1546.4987 | I don't think it ever came up. | 1547.9063 |
1435 | | 1548.6436 | You just got up and got ready for school, and you left home and went to school. | 1552.9370 |
1437 | | 1553.8032 | And | 1554.2053 |
1439 | | 1554.6230 | I had a friend /RD-NAME-1/. | 1556.0202 |
1441 | | 1556.6853 | /RD-NAME-1/ and I were friends from | 1558.4575 |

1445 | | 1559.9939 | She has | 1560.7467 |

1449 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1564.4008 | And she remembers that I gave her her books | 1567.1540 |
1451 | | 1567.8397 | when she came to the classroom. | 1569.7769 |
1453 | | 1570.3389 | I was the one that | 1571.2463 |
1455 | | 1572.0661 | gave her all her books. She can remember that. | 1574.3605 |
1457 | | 1574.7987 | So /RD-NAME-1/ and I, we walked to school | 1576.9576 |
1459 | | 1577.5969 | in high school. But she dropped out cause she got | 1580.4275 |
1461 | | 1580.7936 | pregnant | 1581.2974 |
1463 | | 1581.8130 | which was unheard of back then. | 1583.9991 |
1465 | | 1584.5353 | But, | 1584.8018 |
1467 | | 1585.0806 | um, | 1585.4983 |
1469 | | 1585.6398 | we're still friends. | 1586.7729 |
1471 | | 1587.1789 | She- | 1587.7414 |
1473 | | 1587.8226 | she recognized me a little bit, but | 1589.8754 |
1475 | | 1590.4477 | I go up take her to | 1591.5819 |
1477 | | 1592.0563 | get her nails done or s- | 1593.6899 |
1479 | | 1593.7736 | take her for lunch, something like that. | 1595.4680 |

1482 | | 1596.7261 | she recognize me, but I have to refresh her sometime. | 1600.3905 |
1484 | | 1601.0040 | But she looks good. | 1601.8857 |
1486 | | 1602.7725 | And she was born | 1603.8088 |
1488 | | 1604.4017 | the seventeenth of February, | 1606.4369 |
1490 | | 1606.7772 | and I was born the twenty-sixth. | 1608.6230 |
1492 | | 1609.3190 | So | 1609.8707 |
1494 | | 1610.8606 | we were like sisters. | 1612.1852 |

1499 | | 1617.7460 | And that's the way we grew up, | 1619.5351 |
1501 | | 1620.3033 | so we grew up like sisters. | 1622.1852 |
1503 | | 1623.4882 | I talk a lot. You [have to excuse me.] | 1626.0610 |

1509 | | 1632.5714 | I wanted a pair of heels, | 1634.1491 |

1525 | | 1644.9684 | didn't want me to wear heels, | 1646.5925 |

1531 | | 1652.9932 | And the heels I wanted was wedge. | 1655.1587 |
1533 | | 1655.8135 | Oh boy, I wanted them shoes so bad. | 1658.2367 |
1535 | | 1658.7111 | Now | 1659.1118 |

1541 | | 1668.3371 | <ts> | 1668.3931 |
1543 | | 1668.8462 | And I had to wear | 1669.9068 |

1577 | | 1701.9356 | take that- | 1702.5721 |
1579 | | 1702.7259 | take them shoes to school with me, | 1704.9323 |
1581 | | 1705.7263 | and change 'em on my way there. | 1707.5655 |
1583 | | 1708.7359 | But by the time I get to school, my feet was hurting so [bad], (laughing) | 1712.9225 |
1584 | ROC_int_01 | 1712.6462 | [Oh], [/kay/] | 1713.7666 |
1585 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1713.4315 | [I'd take] the shoes off. | 1714.9370 |
1586 | | 1715.2515 | I think I finally gave 'em to somebody. I thought, | 1717.8604 |
1588 | | 1718.2883 | my mother was right. I wasn't ready for | 1720.5245 |
1590 | | 1720.7308 | heels. | 1721.3082 |
1592 | | 1721.8908 | And they weren't even heels. [<laugh>] | 1724.2419 |
1593 | ROC_int_01 | 1723.5201 | [<laugh>] | 1724.4275 |
1594 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1724.5564 | They probably about this high. I don't know. | 1727.0143 |
1596 | | 1727.8599 | So | 1728.3961 |
1598 | | 1729.2417 | and like I say, | 1730.3983 |
1600 | | 1730.4671 | um, | 1730.9555 |
1602 | | 1731.0204 | we didn't have babysitters. We did what our parents told us to do. | 1734.9375 |
1604 | | 1736.0225 | And with my mother, | 1737.0036 |
1606 | | 1737.4831 | I either had to stay in the house- | 1739.0865 |
1608 | | 1739.4268 | and she did day work. | 1740.5662 |
1610 | | 1741.0664 | She got five dollars a day in bus fare. | 1743.5295 |
1612 | | 1744.4472 | I remember /our/ rent was | 1745.8865 |
1614 | | 1745.9978 | twenty dollars a month. | 1747.4943 |
1616 | | 1747.6438 | <laugh> | 1748.7575 |
1618 | | 1749.0977 | Isn't that [something?] | 1750.0863 |
1619 | ROC_int_01 | 1750.0089 | [Mm-hm.] | 1750.6844 |
1620 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1750.8390 | Twenty [dollars a month.] | 1752.2976 |
1621 | ROC_int_01 | 1751.6073 | [Good old day- <laugh>] | 1752.8911 |
1622 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1752.5592 | [We had] a two bedroom apartment too. | 1754.9740 |
1623 | | 1755.8130 | And back then it wasn't a lot of single houses. White people had | 1759.2829 |
1625 | | 1759.7882 | all the single houses. | 1761.1170 |
1627 | | 1761.6480 | And we lived | 1762.3905 |
1629 | | 1762.6947 | in apartment houses | 1764.1939 |
1631 | | 1764.4502 | or up over stores. | 1765.9841 |
1632 | ROC_int_01 | 1766.1645 | Mm. | 1766.5255 |
1633 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1766.8179 | So | 1767.2717 |
1635 | | 1768.0244 | they didn't have, | 1768.8390 |
1637 | | 1769.4165 | uh, projects | 1770.5817 |
1639 | | 1771.6851 | and, | 1772.0127 |
1641 | | 1772.0898 | uh, | 1772.5925 |
1643 | | 1772.9984 | townhouses and | 1774.3595 |
1645 | | 1775.3082 | apartment buildings and stuff. They didn't have all that back then. | 1778.6389 |
1646 | ROC_int_01 | 1778.7059 | Mm, so [like the] Hanover houses, [they /unintelligible/] | 1781.9372 |
1647 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1779.4160 | [S-] | 1779.5862 |
1649 | | 1780.7514 | [That wasn't built.] | 1781.7877 |
1650 | | 1782.2311 | That [wasn't built.] | 1783.1334 |
1651 | ROC_int_01 | 1782.4683 | [after that.] [/Okay/.] | 1783.4840 |
1652 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1783.3963 | [And] they had the reunion last Sunday, and I missed it. | 1786.3956 |
1653 | | 1787.2618 | I missed the Hanover | 1788.6900 |
1655 | | 1789.2829 | picnic last [Sunday.] | 1790.6334 |
1656 | ROC_int_01 | 1790.5612 | [Man.] | 1791.0458 |
1657 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1791.3604 | That woulda been such a thrill to be there, and I missed it. I went to a- | 1795.1485 |
1659 | | 1795.6795 | a cookout some, | 1796.7674 |
1661 | | 1797.4068 | uh, | 1797.8295 |
1663 | | 1798.4726 | <ts> | 1798.6118 |
1665 | | 1799.1377 | fam- you know the /RD-NAME-2/? | 1800.5710 |
1666 | ROC_int_01 | 1801.4166 | [Mm-] | 1801.7878 |
1667 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1801.5816 | [They go] to Mount Vernon. | 1802.7056 |
1668 | ROC_int_01 | 1803.2418 | Think I [know.] | 1803.7831 |
1669 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1803.7264 | [Oh], they w- had a big cookout | 1805.7925 |
1670 | | 1806.0194 | honoring their mother's death. | 1807.4166 |
1672 | | 1808.4942 | And it's been two years, | 1809.9275 |
1674 | | 1810.4018 | and they- um, | 1811.3336 |
1676 | | 1811.5708 | they invited just about everybody they knew. | 1814.0456 |
1678 | | 1814.9479 | So, | 1815.4765 |
1680 | | 1815.5745 | um, | 1816.1183 |
1682 | | 1816.5489 | <ts> | 1816.5980 |
1684 | | 1817.0707 | but | 1817.4161 |
1686 | | 1818.0142 | sometimes | 1819.0041 |
1688 | | 1819.7672 | with no babysitter, I guess my mother would l- | 1822.0750 |
1690 | | 1822.1980 | feel sorry for me, | 1823.4522 |
1692 | | 1823.9936 | and I could go to what they call the Lutheran intermission. | 1827.2315 |
1694 | | 1828.2973 | And it was over on Clinton Avenue. It was a long walk | 1831.8889 |
1696 | | 1831.9561 | cause you had to go, | 1832.7674 |
1698 | | 1833.5202 | um, | 1834.0873 |
1700 | | 1835.1429 | through downtown, | 1836.3597 |
1702 | | 1837.1073 | and | 1837.5610 |
1704 | | 1838.0559 | it was just a long walk. | 1839.5408 |
1706 | | 1840.2111 | But | 1840.5049 |
1708 | | 1840.8954 | like I say, we did it. | 1842.2158 |
1710 | | 1842.3522 | We walked. We didn't know anything different. | 1844.5303 |
1712 | | 1845.2727 | It didn't matter how long it took us | 1847.0913 |
1714 | | 1847.5141 | to get there or to get back home. | 1849.3754 |
1716 | | 1849.6899 | We walked. | 1850.3911 |
1718 | | 1850.8293 | Let me tell you a funny story about the first time | 1853.4316 |
1720 | | 1853.9472 | I went over there. | 1855.0815 |
1722 | | 1855.8548 | I had to cross, | 1857.1283 |
1724 | | 1858.2162 | um, | 1858.7000 |
1726 | | 1859.4161 | downtown where the Water Street | 1861.7053 |
1728 | | 1862.4735 | Grill. | 1863.0974 |
1729 | ROC_int_01 | 1863.3314 | Yeah. | 1863.5904 |
1730 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1863.6199 | I can't think of the name of that street, | 1865.3594 |
1732 | | 1866.1225 | but there's a bridge there. | 1867.5919 |
1734 | | 1868.0972 | Is it | 1868.4087 |
1736 | | 1868.5612 | Cumberland Street? | 1869.5769 |
1738 | | 1869.8244 | I don't know. | 1870.4417 |
1739 | ROC_int_01 | 1870.4726 | I- yeah, I [don't remember the name.] | 1871.9781 |
1740 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1871.1429 | [It might be Water] Street. I don't know what the [name of it is.] | 1874.5303 |
1741 | ROC_int_01 | 1873.9116 | [I know] | 1874.4389 |
1743 | | 1874.5042 | [the] [area.] | 1875.1561 |
1744 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1875.1296 | [Okay.] | 1875.5499 |
1745 | ROC_int_01 | 1875.5721 | Yeah. | 1875.8984 |
1746 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1876.0962 | There was a bridge crossing the river. | 1878.0400 |
1748 | | 1878.9474 | The first time | 1880.0817 |
1750 | | 1880.9118 | I went there, | 1881.8502 |
1752 | | 1882.5912 | I was scared to death. | 1884.6020 |
1754 | | 1884.9330 | I could not | 1885.7995 |
1756 | | 1885.8817 | walk | 1886.4119 |
1758 | | 1886.4940 | over that bridge. I had never | 1888.4792 |
1760 | | 1888.7614 | been on a [bridge], | 1890.0402 |
1761 | ROC_int_01 | 1889.9451 | [Mm.] | 1890.3259 |
1762 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1891.4733 | and I crawled. | 1892.6952 |
1763 | ROC_int_01 | 1893.1386 | <laugh> | 1893.5717 |
1764 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1893.6372 | And the kids laughed at me, | 1895.9054 |
1766 | | 1896.4196 | and I cried all the way cross that bridge. | 1899.3747 |
1768 | | 1900.1226 | And when the- | 1900.7511 |
1770 | | 1900.8495 | when I got to the mission | 1902.5125 |
1772 | | 1903.3481 | and it was time to come back, | 1904.8440 |
1774 | | 1905.2706 | I cried all the way | 1906.7707 |
1776 | | 1907.0570 | cross that bridge again. | 1908.8217 |
1778 | | 1909.4703 | And my mother | 1910.2416 |
1780 | | 1910.8084 | went with me- no, my uncle, | 1912.5131 |
1782 | | 1912.7819 | my mother's brother, | 1913.8687 |
1784 | | 1914.3888 | he went with me the next time. | 1916.3287 |
1786 | | 1916.7787 | And he held my hand, and he walked me cross that bridge | 1920.2539 |
1788 | | 1920.7856 | And from then on, | 1921.8432 |
1790 | | 1922.6438 | one of the friends that I walk with | 1924.4841 |
1792 | | 1924.6373 | would hold my hand, | 1925.7666 |
1794 | | 1926.0474 | and after a while I got used to it. | 1927.9479 |
1796 | | 1929.4321 | And I was able to go. | 1930.4839 |
1798 | | 1931.5181 | So that was my funny story. | 1933.2000 |
1799 | ROC_int_01 | 1933.4682 | [/<laugh>/] | 1934.1051 |
1800 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1933.7604 | [But at] the mission, | 1934.8940 |
1801 | | 1935.5192 | um, | 1936.0392 |
1803 | | 1936.7229 | they taught us, um, | 1938.5226 |
1805 | | 1939.9877 | about the bible. | 1941.0454 |
1807 | | 1941.7641 | We had | 1942.2724 |
1809 | | 1942.8276 | what they call religious instruction. | 1944.7909 |
1811 | | 1945.7024 | It was two words | 1946.6666 |
1813 | | 1946.8286 | I was not familiar with, | 1948.2076 |
1815 | | 1948.5991 | religious instruction. <laugh> | 1950.2188 |
1816 | ROC_int_01 | 1950.2266 | [<laugh>] | 1950.9189 |
1817 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 1950.6773 | [So] we got religious instruction. | 1952.9582 |
1818 | | 1953.4884 | We got a meal, | 1954.5051 |
1820 | | 1955.0836 | and we could either go in they gym, | 1957.2281 |
1822 | | 1958.2857 | the boys usually did that, | 1959.8050 |
1824 | | 1960.3293 | or we could do crafty things. | 1962.5497 |
1826 | | 1962.8419 | I think it was like | 1963.9306 |
1828 | | 1964.0892 | boondoggle or something. | 1965.6642 |
1830 | | 1965.9739 | I don't know what it was back then, but | 1967.9766 |
1832 | | 1968.3505 | that's usually what the girls did. | 1970.0334 |
1834 | | 1970.5301 | And when it was time to go home, | 1972.0844 |
1836 | | 1972.7856 | we'd take that long walk back | 1974.7532 |
1838 | | 1975.2966 | cause we s- like I said, we lived over on /RD-ADDRESS-2/ Street. | 1978.2942 |
1840 | | 1978.8610 | And we were walking from | 1980.2301 |
1842 | | 1980.3165 | past downtown, you know. | 1982.0207 |
1844 | | 1982.8212 | But we did it. | 1983.4756 |
1846 | | 1984.6910 | And, um, | 1985.8422 |
1848 | | 1986.3096 | when I got a little older, | 1987.7645 |
1850 | | 1988.5183 | I could stay out til the street lights came on, | 1991.3406 |
1852 | | 1992.2229 | and I could | 1992.7764 |
1854 | | 1993.0043 | sit outside on the curb, | 1994.7924 |
1856 | | 1995.5812 | uh, | 1996.1246 |
1858 | | 1997.3459 | and there was a bakery called Stein's Bakery. | 2000.4822 |
1860 | | 2002.0365 | And | 2002.3871 |
1862 | | 2002.8896 | we would sit out there, | 2004.2744 |
1864 | | 2005.5483 | and then sometimes the bakers would call us | 2008.2580 |
1866 | | 2008.6787 | inside, | 2009.4617 |
1868 | | 2010.4375 | and they would let us watch them | 2012.3249 |
1870 | | 2012.7222 | cook | 2013.2530 |
1872 | | 2013.5796 | what they call | 2014.6665 |
1874 | | 2015.1982 | fry cakes. | 2016.2150 |
1876 | | 2017.1674 | And | 2017.5764 |
1878 | | 2018.0381 | I say doughnuts, but they said fry cakes. | 2020.7361 |
1880 | | 2021.4490 | It was a big huge | 2023.6519 |
1882 | | 2024.0200 | huge | 2024.7446 |
1884 | | 2026.0651 | stove or whatever. | 2027.6646 |
1886 | | 2028.1671 | And it was full of grease. | 2029.5286 |
1888 | | 2029.7916 | The grease was just | 2030.7031 |
1890 | | 2030.9544 | popping and bubbling. | 2032.0588 |
1892 | | 2032.4678 | And the man had a long stick, | 2034.2543 |
1894 | | 2034.6575 | and he would turn it- | 2035.8203 |
1896 | | 2036.3169 | he'd turn those | 2037.1980 |
1898 | | 2037.2617 | fry cakes over like a- | 2038.9114 |
1900 | | 2039.1852 | a m- | 2039.4717 |
1902 | | 2039.6418 | he was a master. | 2040.8264 |
1904 | | 2041.7321 | And | 2042.1444 |
1906 | | 2042.3296 | he'd s- | 2042.6469 |
1908 | | 2042.9247 | take the stick, and he'd go through 'em when they were done, | 2045.6646 |
1910 | | 2046.0386 | put 'em in a bag, and he'd give us a bag. Each one of us would get a bag. | 2049.4904 |
1912 | | 2049.7592 | It was so much grease on them [bags.] (laughing) | 2053.3820 |
1913 | ROC_int_01 | 2051.8861 | [<laugh>] | 2052.1374 |
1914 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2054.1108 | But we would | 2054.9791 |
1916 | | 2055.1252 | eat 'em. We'd take them home, | 2056.9916 |
1918 | | 2057.9557 | and we'd eat 'em. | 2058.8327 |
1920 | | 2059.1045 | And we would sit out there all the time hoping this would be the night they'd call us in again. (laughing) [<laugh>] | 2065.0245 |
1921 | ROC_int_01 | 2064.6038 | [Mm-hm.] | 2065.2816 |
1922 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2065.7082 | So we enjoyed the little greasy fry cakes as they called 'em. | 2069.7501 |
1924 | | 2070.3053 | We call them doughnuts now. | 2072.1459 |
1926 | | 2072.4264 | I think some people probably call them fry cakes, don't they? | 2075.3698 |
1928 | | 2075.8431 | [You've heard that] [term, haven't you?] | 2077.3989 |
1929 | ROC_int_01 | 2075.9892 | [Yeah.] | 2076.3792 |
1931 | | 2076.5407 | [I've heard that term], [yeah.] | 2077.8415 |
1932 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2077.6605 | [Yeah.] | 2077.9856 |
1933 | | 2078.9342 | So and then years later, | 2080.7573 |
1935 | | 2081.4336 | um, | 2081.9770 |
1937 | | 2082.3042 | I could go to Baden Street Settlement, | 2084.1257 |
1939 | | 2084.3132 | but /now/ I don't remember how old I was. | 2086.1608 |
1941 | | 2087.0840 | But | 2087.4612 |
1943 | | 2087.5387 | I had to d- of course I had to be home at a certain time. | 2090.7169 |
1945 | | 2091.5175 | And then they used to have dance contests there. | 2094.4800 |
1947 | | 2095.1563 | I never learned how to dance, | 2096.9545 |
1949 | | 2097.0754 | but I love | 2098.4903 |
1951 | | 2098.5544 | watching them dance. | 2099.9244 |
1953 | | 2100.0997 | Oh, that was just the joy. | 2101.9212 |
1955 | | 2102.7743 | And they had, | 2103.5700 |
1957 | | 2103.6486 | um, | 2104.1650 |
1959 | | 2104.7493 | other activities too, but | 2106.4381 |
1961 | | 2107.0224 | the most popular was the basketball games in the gym. | 2110.6904 |
1963 | | 2111.5201 | And the | 2111.9759 |
1965 | | 2112.7881 | boys would have names for they team, | 2115.6848 |
1967 | | 2116.3393 | but the most popular names was | 2118.6474 |
1969 | | 2119.7459 | the Whiz Kids. | 2120.9496 |
1971 | | 2121.6609 | And my husband was a member of the Whiz kids, | 2124.2306 |
1973 | | 2124.3496 | and they were the older boys. | 2125.8914 |
1975 | | 2126.3940 | Then they had another | 2127.7176 |
1977 | | 2127.7929 | like | 2128.0360 |
1979 | | 2128.1174 | intermediate age I guess. | 2129.9042 |
1981 | | 2130.4067 | They were the Gaylords, | 2131.7916 |
1983 | | 2132.8025 | and | 2133.3284 |
1985 | | 2134.9762 | the Gaylords, | 2135.9446 |
1987 | | 2136.4296 | I think it might be a few of them still around | 2138.8868 |
1989 | | 2139.0364 | cause they were younger than me. | 2140.2277 |
1991 | | 2141.0399 | But the Whiz Kids, | 2142.5108 |
1993 | | 2142.8965 | I think they're all gone except one, | 2144.9416 |
1995 | | 2145.1520 | /RD-NAME-4/ who still has his good mind. | 2148.1963 |
1997 | | 2148.4944 | He lives on /RD-ADDRESS-3/ Road. | 2150.0237 |
1999 | | 2150.7424 | So I- | 2151.2346 |
2001 | | 2151.3683 | I wave at him him every time I go over there cause he sits on his porch | 2154.9613 |
2003 | | 2155.3177 | when he's not at the barber shop somewhere. | 2157.5132 |
2005 | | 2158.2436 | He likes to go to the barber shop and | 2160.0843 |
2007 | | 2160.5284 | chew the rag he call it, you [know.] | 2162.2315 |

2009 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2162.9868 | He used to be on | 2164.1671 |
2011 | | 2164.5528 | Jefferson all the time. It got a little too violent for him, so | 2167.9828 |
2013 | | 2168.3276 | I don't know what barber shop he go to now, but | 2170.7276 |
2015 | | 2170.9905 | that's what he likes to do. | 2172.2468 |
2017 | | 2172.7201 | He was one of the Whiz kids. | 2174.1809 |
2019 | | 2174.5199 | He wasn't tall. | 2175.6827 |
2021 | | 2176.0216 | He was short, | 2176.8205 |
2023 | | 2177.1069 | but he could play basketball. (laughing) <laugh> | 2179.9759 |

2048 | | 2203.6181 | And the church is still there. | 2205.0439 |
2050 | | 2205.4938 | It was a Catholic church. None of us were Catholic. | 2208.5308 |
2052 | | 2209.3722 | But the priest was Father Primo, | 2211.5225 |
2054 | | 2212.4691 | and every Friday | 2213.6962 |

2068 | | 2226.2561 | And it had | 2227.0404 |
2070 | | 2227.1095 | like a carousel | 2228.4984 |
2072 | | 2229.3106 | around it. | 2229.9592 |
2074 | | 2230.6721 | I couldn't dance, but I could twirl. | 2232.5968 |
2075 | ROC_int_01 | 2232.7741 | [Mm-hm.] | 2233.3169 |
2076 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2233.0970 | [And it-] | 2233.4710 |
2077 | | 2234.2349 | and the skirt would go out, you know. [It was-] | 2236.7952 |
2078 | ROC_int_01 | 2236.1982 | [That sounds] [beautiful.] | 2237.5772 |
2079 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2236.9790 | [I was having] a ball. | 2238.4479 |
2080 | | 2239.1462 | And the- | 2239.5581 |

2086 | | 2243.4598 | airmen come cause Sampson Air Force Base was close by. | 2247.7239 |
2088 | | 2248.6705 | And then we had | 2249.6930 |
2090 | | 2249.8041 | sailors, which you don't see anymore. Do you ever see sailors? | 2253.3509 |
2091 | ROC_int_01 | 2253.3752 | Mm-mm. | 2254.0697 |
2092 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2254.2807 | They used to look so nice in they white | 2256.3995 |
2094 | | 2257.0423 | suits and they little bib on the back and they little sporty hat. | 2260.9398 |

2098 | | 2263.9004 | airmen and the sailors and army. | 2266.3724 |
2100 | | 2267.0912 | And I thought- | 2267.7164 |
2102 | | 2268.6030 | as I got older, I went, where was the sailors coming from? | 2271.8051 |
2104 | | 2272.0681 | We know where Sampson- | 2273.5289 |

2112 | | 2277.4423 | boys were coming from, | 2278.7103 |
2114 | | 2279.4816 | but I couldn't remember where the sailors | 2281.4683 |
2116 | | 2281.8933 | and the army | 2282.6267 |
2118 | | 2282.7580 | guys came from. | 2283.9735 |
2119 | ROC_int_01 | 2284.1138 | Hm. | 2284.5495 |
2120 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2285.4285 | It musta been something close by, | 2287.4807 |
2122 | | 2287.5766 | you know. But | 2288.4319 |
2124 | | 2289.0907 | even Sampson | 2290.2768 |
2126 | | 2291.2118 | wasn't that close, but | 2292.7110 |
2128 | | 2292.7891 | they would- | 2293.2160 |
2130 | | 2293.6075 | they were here. | 2294.4723 |
2132 | | 2294.8404 | They would come. | 2295.5868 |
2134 | | 2296.6094 | So | 2297.0827 |
2136 | | 2297.4450 | S- St. Simon'ss was up | 2299.3590 |

2174 | | 2334.9568 | but most of us picked a favorite. | 2336.9127 |
2176 | | 2337.6022 | My favorite was the VNS, and I don't know what that means. | 2340.9913 |
2178 | | 2341.2952 | Probably back then I knew what it meant. | 2343.1284 |
2180 | | 2344.1802 | Oh, the hot dogs was so good. | 2345.8806 |

2188 | | 2353.0545 | going up there at night. | 2354.5796 |
2190 | | 2354.7257 | And they'd come back with the hot dogs. | 2356.6232 |
2192 | | 2357.1316 | And then when it was my turn, they'd both go with me | 2360.0065 |

2269 | | 2435.5661 | which was illegal, | 2436.8808 |

2271 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2437.9979 | but that's how he made his money. | 2439.6314 |
2273 | | 2440.7066 | And he would have dances | 2442.3485 |
2275 | | 2442.4946 | in the back | 2443.2192 |

2285 | | 2449.3355 | he would send me to the store. | 2451.0242 |
2287 | | 2451.5135 | If I was walking by, he would send me to store to get him a box of salt or a loaf of bread or something like that, | 2457.4152 |
2289 | | 2457.7366 | and I'd go gladly | 2458.8452 |
2291 | | 2459.2543 | cause I wanted to go that dance. | 2460.9605 |
2293 | | 2461.7143 | And he'd always tell me I wasn't old enough. | 2464.2912 |
2295 | | 2465.2304 | Then when I got old enough, | 2466.8606 |
2297 | | 2467.1995 | he stopped having the [dances] | 2469.0694 |
2298 | ROC_int_01 | 2468.6370 | [Oh], of [course. <laugh>] | 2470.5244 |

2306 | | 2477.0673 | I don't know where he went, but eventually he was up on Central Avenue | 2481.4638 |
2308 | | 2481.5255 | up with th- all the hot dogs. | 2483.2479 |
2310 | | 2483.7153 | But he was on the corner of North Street | 2485.6086 |
2312 | | 2486.1037 | and Central Avenue. | 2487.2957 |
2314 | | 2488.0320 | And from there | 2488.8734 |
2316 | | 2489.3525 | he moved cross town | 2491.0997 |
2318 | | 2491.4035 | on Clarissa Street, | 2492.7517 |
2320 | | 2494.0723 | and | 2494.5982 |
2322 | | 2494.8495 | from there | 2495.9130 |

2340 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2512.0598 | [Yeah, and eventually] | 2513.7018 |
2341 | | 2513.9063 | he moved to where- | 2515.5541 |

2348 | | 2518.3865 | [Yeah.] | 2518.7717 |
2349 | | 2519.0517 | Yeah. | 2519.3681 |
2350 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2519.3759 | That was his last spot. | 2520.7063 |
2351 | ROC_int_01 | 2520.8933 | [Mm-hm.] | 2521.4426 |
2352 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2521.3783 | [His] wife, | 2522.4126 |

2359 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2528.8736 | and she never recovered. | 2530.4393 |
2361 | | 2530.5300 | She was in, uh, the Episcopal home. | 2533.0851 |
2363 | | 2533.6986 | She never recovered, and that affected him. | 2536.3456 |
2365 | | 2536.9517 | And his health kind of went down too. | 2539.2715 |
2367 | | 2540.0253 | So | 2540.5845 |
2369 | | 2540.7541 | I think | 2541.2699 |
2371 | | 2541.8075 | somebody moved him out to Arizona or something, | 2545.0548 |
2373 | | 2545.4989 | and that's where he died. | 2546.8837 |

2389 | | 2562.3302 | knowing he about fifty years older than me. (laughing) | 2564.5316 |
2391 | | 2565.0691 | And- uh, | 2565.7586 |

2405 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2579.6391 | I wish I could remember where he was before he moved to Thurston. | 2583.7703 |
2407 | | 2584.7679 | <ts> | 2584.9082 |
2409 | | 2585.5393 | But | 2585.8721 |

2489 | | 2661.2808 | at Montgomery Center, | 2662.5424 |
2491 | | 2662.6384 | it was just about the same as at | 2664.5047 |

2494 | ROC_int_01 | 2666.3350 | [Okay.] | 2666.7921 |
2495 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2666.7252 | [except], | 2667.2409 |
2496 | | 2667.4617 | uh, | 2667.9114 |
2498 | | 2669.3122 | you saw Mrs. Brandon, Julia Brandon. | 2672.1345 |
2500 | | 2672.5084 | She like | 2673.1570 |
2502 | | 2674.1913 | ran Montgomery Center. | 2675.9735 |
2504 | | 2676.4861 | She didn't play. | 2677.5788 |
2506 | | 2678.1515 | You come in there, and you behaved. | 2679.7116 |
2507 | ROC_int_01 | 2679.9746 | [Mm-hm.] | 2680.5764 |
2508 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2680.4654 | [She] was a social worker, but she | 2682.5573 |
2509 | | 2683.4147 | was sort of like | 2684.3438 |
2511 | | 2684.8229 | acting as the director. But they had another director, but I don't- | 2688.3990 |
2513 | | 2688.9541 | I think he was more in the background. | 2690.8224 |
2515 | | 2691.2957 | But somebody on this side of town might remember better than I do | 2694.7917 |
2517 | | 2695.0799 | cause I lived on the other side. | 2696.7284 |
2519 | | 2697.4705 | But | 2697.7743 |
2521 | | 2698.0490 | I was over here so much people thought I lived over here. N- | 2701.3387 |
2523 | | 2701.8997 | and what we would do- | 2703.1560 |
2525 | | 2704.5568 | the wonder bread | 2705.4800 |
2527 | | 2706.5844 | place was right next to | 2708.2063 |
2529 | | 2708.2942 | Montgomery Center. | 2709.2898 |
2531 | | 2710.7140 | And the t- f- | 2711.4035 |
2533 | | 2711.7015 | trolley | 2712.3560 |
2535 | | 2712.8468 | would cross | 2713.7876 |
2537 | | 2714.2551 | Clarissa Street | 2715.2250 |
2539 | | 2715.4412 | right at West Main, | 2716.8027 |
2541 | | 2717.5374 | um, | 2718.1276 |
2543 | | 2719.4891 | near Ni- Nick Tahou | 2721.1894 |
2545 | | 2722.6035 | but on the other side of the bridge. | 2724.7756 |
2547 | | 2725.8391 | So | 2726.3241 |
2549 | | 2728.1297 | it's the open door misison. | 2729.5847 |
2551 | | 2729.9820 | You know that block? | 2731.1140 |
2552 | ROC_int_01 | 2732.0277 | [Yes.] | 2732.5747 |
2553 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2732.5449 | [Okay], so that's where, um, | 2734.9320 |
2554 | | 2735.3112 | <ts> | 2735.3917 |
2556 | | 2735.6192 | Clarissa Street | 2736.5015 |
2558 | | 2736.8346 | would start. | 2737.5634 |
2560 | | 2738.2529 | So we would walk. | 2739.6027 |
2562 | | 2740.2397 | We get on the right side of the street, | 2742.0628 |
2564 | | 2742.6179 | and we walk from there down to Bronson, | 2745.3977 |
2565 | ROC_int_01 | 2746.2138 | Wow. | 2746.5325 |
2566 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2746.6014 | and then | 2747.1448 |
2568 | | 2747.9337 | it was l- | 2748.3488 |
2570 | | 2748.4489 | LaRue's Restaurant | 2749.9963 |
2572 | | 2750.2710 | and Bar was on the corner. | 2752.0049 |
2574 | | 2752.7528 | So the restaurant | 2753.8397 |
2576 | | 2754.4181 | was on this side, | 2755.8848 |
2578 | | 2756.0893 | and the bar was on this side. | 2757.8466 |
2580 | | 2758.4367 | They were attached. It was one building, | 2760.4527 |
2582 | | 2761.4168 | but we wasn't old enough to go in the bar, | 2763.2983 |
2584 | | 2763.6606 | so we go in the restaurant | 2765.6282 |
2586 | | 2766.4171 | and come out | 2767.1820 |
2588 | | 2767.3548 | on Bronson, | 2768.2811 |
2590 | | 2768.7991 | cross the street, | 2769.7945 |
2592 | | 2770.3379 | and go back down Clarissa | 2772.1653 |
2594 | | 2772.7438 | to | 2773.2054 |
2596 | | 2774.3098 | Main Street. | 2774.9584 |
2597 | ROC_int_01 | 2775.0636 | Mm-hm. | 2775.5544 |
2598 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2776.6003 | And we'd do that, | 2777.4242 |
2600 | | 2777.8200 | w- | 2777.9310 |
2602 | | 2778.0771 | didn't seem like we got tired or anything. | 2780.6657 |
2604 | | 2781.1390 | And it's funny cause when they had a Clarissa reunion, | 2784.0431 |
2606 | | 2784.3469 | some of us | 2785.1985 |
2608 | | 2785.7419 | talk about tha- | 2786.5892 |
2610 | | 2787.2904 | it wasn't that exciting. | 2788.9207 |
2612 | | 2789.3940 | It's just | 2789.8790 |
2614 | | 2790.2062 | we didn't do anything exciting. We just walked up and down the street all day or all night. [<laugh>] | 2795.6622 |
2615 | ROC_int_01 | 2795.2590 | [Mm-hm.] | 2795.8200 |
2616 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2796.0479 | And it was fun. <laugh> | 2797.4211 |
2617 | ROC_int_01 | 2797.6322 | [Yeah.] | 2798.0973 |
2618 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2797.8301 | [And then] I had to walk home | 2799.5406 |
2619 | | 2800.1132 | cross town | 2801.0423 |
2620 | ROC_int_01 | 2801.5831 | Wow. | 2802.0249 |
2621 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2802.0532 | sometime by myself | 2803.4965 |
2623 | | 2803.8821 | and never had any kind of fear. | 2805.9316 |
2624 | ROC_int_01 | 2806.4112 | Mm. | 2806.6985 |
2625 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2806.7116 | And nobody ever bothered me. | 2808.2513 |
2627 | | 2809.2681 | They didn't do that back then. They didn't bother | 2811.5177 |
2629 | | 2812.1531 | young people back then. | 2813.4269 |
2631 | | 2814.1047 | And it was- it was a good time to grow up | 2816.5647 |
2632 | ROC_int_01 | 2816.8160 | Mm-hm. | 2817.2835 |
2633 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2817.3185 | except I did a lot of walking. I think about that now. | 2820.4197 |
2635 | | 2821.0742 | And another hot spot for us was, uh, the Gibson Hotel, | 2825.1294 |
2637 | | 2826.5594 | and it was on Clarissa Street | 2828.1831 |
2639 | | 2829.6213 | between | 2830.5621 |
2641 | | 2831.1873 | Atkinson Street | 2832.4436 |
2643 | | 2833.0147 | and Bronson. | 2834.0256 |
2645 | | 2835.1183 | And they had, uh, | 2836.7076 |
2647 | | 2837.2803 | teenage dances there on the weekend, | 2839.6628 |
2649 | | 2840.6027 | but I couldn't go. I wasn't old enough. | 2842.7305 |
2651 | | 2843.5953 | Then when I was old enough, | 2845.1438 |
2653 | | 2846.2699 | they tore it down cause | 2847.7015 |
2655 | | 2848.4495 | it | 2848.6540 |
2657 | | 2849.0104 | caught on fire. | 2849.9570 |
2659 | | 2850.7809 | So that was my s- that was my story /that/ | 2853.0530 |
2661 | | 2854.0282 | I'm not old enough for some things. When I'm old enough, it- | 2856.8914 |
2663 | | 2857.2187 | it's gone. | 2857.8638 |
2665 | | 2857.9428 | It's no more. [<laugh>] | 2859.7371 |
2666 | ROC_int_01 | 2858.7504 | [Mm-hm.] | 2859.2714 |

2694 | | 2883.3318 | after school, | 2884.2258 |
2696 | | 2884.8335 | and my mother would give me | 2886.2242 |
2698 | | 2886.6917 | bus fare. | 2887.4439 |
2700 | | 2888.2912 | And I'd have to leave school | 2890.0091 |
2702 | | 2890.7629 | and go over to the Elk's | 2892.2003 |
2704 | | 2892.7087 | and get my bicycle | 2893.9810 |
2706 | | 2894.6646 | cause my mother would go over there on the weekends | 2897.0487 |
2708 | | 2897.2298 | and get too drunlk | 2898.1881 |
2710 | | 2898.7958 | to ride the bicycle back home. | 2900.9112 |
2711 | ROC_int_01 | 2900.9853 | [Mm-hm.] | 2901.4196 |
2712 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2901.3436 | [So] that was a treat for me | 2902.9547 |
2713 | | 2903.5215 | to go over there on the bus, and I could stay over there | 2906.1451 |
2715 | | 2906.6710 | and then ride my bike home. I didn't have to walk home. [<laugh>] | 2910.2689 |

2717 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2910.8999 | And I think she l- she probably | 2912.8925 |
2719 | | 2913.1613 | realized that I enjoyed doing that, you know, t- | 2916.0589 |
2721 | | 2916.2179 | that she gave me bus fare. | 2917.6065 |
2723 | | 2918.5998 | And | 2918.9796 |
2725 | | 2919.5347 | aft- I think about it sometimes and I said, | 2922.1885 |
2727 | | 2922.7027 | what'd I do for food? | 2924.0450 |
2729 | | 2924.5709 | You know, I don't know what I did for food. | 2926.6979 |
2731 | | 2927.0017 | I don't know if she gave me | 2928.2405 |
2733 | | 2928.7606 | money for a hot dog or something. I don't know | 2931.4586 |

2743 | ROC_int_01 | 2940.3972 | Okay. | 2940.8705 |
2744 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2941.0491 | I was an adult. | 2942.1268 |
2746 | | 2942.9040 | And I already talked about the parish house, didn't /I/? | 2945.2514 |
2748 | | 2946.0987 | Yeah, I talked about that | 2947.3024 |
2750 | | 2947.6705 | I didn't talk about the train station | 2949.8501 |
2752 | | 2950.9354 | Uh, | 2951.3835 |
2754 | | 2951.5524 | the train station was | 2953.0463 |
2756 | | 2953.1352 | huge. | 2953.9154 |
2758 | | 2954.2660 | You ever be- | 2955.0015 |
2760 | | 2955.0869 | been to, um, | 2956.2001 |
2762 | | 2958.2203 | the Grand Central? | 2959.2780 |

2766 | | 2962.1642 | in Rochester. | 2963.2280 |
2768 | | 2964.4010 | And we would | 2965.2073 |
2770 | | 2965.6806 | play there, | 2966.5104 |
2772 | | 2967.1181 | and they had, um, | 2968.5088 |
2774 | | 2969.7125 | a wall. | 2970.4764 |
2776 | | 2971.8320 | I- | 2972.3462 |
2778 | | 2972.8020 | it might still be there. | 2974.2628 |
2780 | | 2974.5316 | When I was a kid, it seemed like it was the biggest wall in the world. | 2978.4801 |
2782 | | 2979.6546 | But we would | 2980.6081 |
2784 | | 2980.8123 | d- | 2980.9099 |
2786 | | 2981.0570 | do a dangerous thing. | 2982.6405 |
2788 | | 2983.3826 | We would see who could jump up on that | 2985.5840 |
2790 | | 2986.0573 | and walk across it without falling off. If we had fell off, we woulda died. | 2990.5683 |
2791 | ROC_int_01 | 2990.7407 | Mm. | 2991.2109 |
2792 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2991.2011 | It was up so high. It was at least | 2992.9061 |
2793 | | 2993.2816 | two stories | 2994.1825 |
2794 | ROC_int_01 | 2994.3293 | Wow. | 2994.8331 |
2795 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 2994.8564 | tall and that was not the station itself. | 2997.4523 |
2797 | | 2997.9728 | That was a wall | 2999.0547 |
2799 | | 2999.3250 | along side of it. | 3000.5461 |
2800 | ROC_int_01 | 3000.8131 | Mm-hm. | 3001.4604 |
2801 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3001.5037 | I'm sorry [about that.] | 3002.8450 |
2802 | ROC_int_01 | 3002.2144 | [<laugh>] | 3002.8784 |
2803 | | 3003.3022 | [It's okay.] | 3003.8293 |

2811 | | 3010.2431 | So he's kind of | 3011.2649 |
2813 | | 3011.7520 | set when somebody come, he jumps on the table. | 3014.5181 |
2814 | ROC_int_01 | 3014.5314 | Mm-hm. | 3015.1720 |
2815 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3015.1153 | I can't break him. | 3016.0963 |
2816 | ROC_int_01 | 3016.2864 | <laugh> | 3016.6377 |
2817 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3016.5944 | Too old now <laugh>. | 3017.7169 |
2818 | | 3018.9365 | Um, | 3019.5905 |
2820 | | 3021.4356 | the movies, | 3022.2698 |
2822 | | 3022.8378 | they were all over Rochester back then. | 3025.3069 |
2824 | | 3026.1877 | I mean, | 3026.6615 |
2826 | | 3026.9752 | you didn't know where to go. | 3028.3713 |
2828 | | 3029.1248 | So, | 3029.5051 |
2830 | | 3030.5295 | we black people had our favorites. | 3032.4647 |
2832 | | 3033.2121 | One was called the Strand, | 3035.1615 |
2834 | | 3035.8321 | and it was on St. Paul Street. | 3037.6906 |
2836 | | 3038.6749 | And that's where the | 3039.5257 |
2838 | | 3039.9194 | kids from across town used to go. | 3042.3326 |
2840 | | 3042.9499 | And the other one was the Grand, | 3044.9718 |
2842 | | 3045.1920 | and it was on | 3046.0963 |
2844 | | 3046.3332 | Plymouth. | 3046.8737 |
2846 | | 3047.5118 | That's North Plymouth. | 3048.5795 |
2848 | | 3049.1768 | Down off Maine Street. | 3050.3012 |
2849 | ROC_int_01 | 3050.7216 | [Mm-hm.] | 3051.1526 |
2850 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3050.9652 | [North] Plymouth. | 3051.7759 |
2851 | | 3052.5567 | And | 3053.0146 |
2853 | | 3053.4150 | sometimes | 3054.3660 |
2855 | | 3055.0099 | we would go to | 3056.3345 |
2857 | | 3057.3689 | the capital | 3058.2764 |
2859 | | 3059.0514 | which was on West Main. | 3060.4025 |
2861 | | 3061.0312 | So we had choices that we liked to go. | 3063.5378 |
2863 | | 3063.9548 | But my favorite | 3064.9191 |
2865 | | 3065.4830 | was the RKO Palace. | 3067.4416 |
2867 | | 3068.2190 | Cause it was like walking into a palace. | 3070.9706 |
2869 | | 3071.4987 | Beautiful long drapes, velvety drapes, and | 3074.9529 |
2871 | | 3075.2532 | chandeliers and carpeted floors. | 3078.0359 |
2873 | | 3078.4397 | And you had a long- | 3079.5307 |

2879 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3083.1217 | We had a long walk | 3084.5316 |
2880 | | 3084.7600 | before you get to the concession stand. | 3087.2068 |
2882 | | 3087.6770 | And then you | 3088.4777 |
2884 | | 3088.8548 | could go in and find a seat. | 3090.7109 |
2886 | | 3091.6727 | And I liked cause I could sit upstairs or I could sit downstairs. | 3095.9844 |
2887 | ROC_int_01 | 3096.3548 | [Mm-hm.] | 3096.7852 |
2888 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3096.3648 | [I was in] New York state. | 3097.7728 |

2901 | | 3110.8962 | The RKO? | 3112.2149 |

2907 | | 3119.9700 | Um, | 3120.5305 |

2948 | | 3165.6402 | And movies would change | 3167.2526 |
2950 | | 3167.5963 | frequently. | 3168.4204 |
2952 | | 3169.2179 | They didn't stay there for weeks like they do here, like they do now. | 3172.8721 |
2954 | | 3173.1725 | They would change maybe weekly. | 3174.9810 |
2955 | ROC_int_01 | 3175.0777 | Mm. | 3175.3480 |
2956 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3175.7417 | And my favorite western | 3177.4000 |
2958 | | 3177.6769 | was Lash LaRue. | 3178.9991 |
2960 | | 3179.6463 | He was a little short man and he used a whip. | 3182.2422 |
2962 | | 3182.5758 | And he rode a donkey. | 3183.7378 |
2964 | | 3183.9313 | [<laugh>] | 3185.5329 |
2965 | ROC_int_01 | 3184.2083 | [<laugh>] | 3185.0457 |

2968 | | 3188.8127 | And my other favorite was Johnny Mack Brown. | 3191.7675 |
2970 | | 3193.4114 | And my | 3193.9853 |
2972 | | 3194.9262 | special favorite was Roy Rogers | 3197.6763 |
2974 | | 3197.7898 | and Dale Evans. You ever hear of them? | 3199.6605 |
2975 | ROC_int_01 | 3199.7550 | They sound familiar, my mom [watched westerns] | 3202.0805 |

2979 | | 3209.4461 | cause she wouldn't let me go to they wedding. | 3211.5348 |
2980 | ROC_int_01 | 3211.9452 | Aw. | 3212.6092 |

2983 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3216.7641 | And it may not even been in Hollywood. I was just assuming it was Hollywood cause that's where they mee- made movies. | 3222.5272 |
2985 | | 3223.2317 | My mother would not let me go to their wedding. | 3225.5871 |
2987 | | 3226.6358 | And I understand now cause | 3228.3342 |
2989 | | 3228.5577 | you know, I've understood that a long time. | 3230.8032 |
2991 | | 3231.0068 | They didn't know me I didn't know them. | 3232.7460 |
2992 | ROC_int_01 | 3232.8761 | Mm-hm. | 3233.2549 |
2993 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3233.2064 | Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, they got married, I was so hurt. | 3236.7232 |
2994 | | 3237.0201 | I couldn't go to they wedding. (laughing) | 3238.9628 |
2996 | | 3240.1006 | That's how crazy I was back [then. I] was sincere. I wanted to go to that wedding. | 3244.8177 |
2997 | ROC_int_01 | 3241.9824 | [<laugh>] | 3242.4095 |
2998 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3244.8861 | <laugh> | 3245.3132 |
3000 | | 3246.0072 | So she bought me a movie magazine that had pictures in it. | 3249.6251 |
3002 | | 3250.7186 | So I wish I'd have saved that. | 3252.7906 |
3003 | ROC_int_01 | 3252.7839 | <laugh> | 3253.0375 |
3004 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3254.1086 | So let's see, oh the bridges. | 3256.3798 |
3006 | | 3256.8187 | Over on this side of town, | 3258.4102 |
3008 | | 3259.6915 | they had a lot of bridges in the neighborhood. | 3262.2065 |
3009 | ROC_int_01 | 3262.5217 | Hm? | 3262.8054 |
3010 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3262.8054 | On the other side, | 3263.9954 |
3011 | | 3264.6672 | they were mostly in white neighborhoods. | 3266.8001 |
3013 | | 3266.8668 | The bridges that crossed | 3268.3382 |
3015 | | 3268.4517 | s- | 3268.7253 |
3017 | | 3269.0923 | streets | 3269.7696 |
3019 | | 3270.3836 | and the- | 3270.7539 |
3021 | | 3271.4212 | my favorite bridge, | 3272.6858 |
3023 | | 3273.2412 | was over Bronson Avenue. | 3275.1163 |
3025 | | 3275.3666 | Which, you know, now is called McCree. | 3277.2885 |
3026 | ROC_int_01 | 3277.7156 | Yeah. | 3278.0654 |
3027 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3278.1117 | Okay. | 3278.5855 |
3028 | ROC_int_01 | 3278.6465 | Mm-hm. | 3279.0180 |
3029 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3279.9014 | W- we didn't do bad things, but we'd go up under the bridge. | 3283.3118 |
3031 | | 3283.8619 | and every- any, | 3284.8871 |
3033 | | 3285.0839 | you know, | 3285.5544 |
3035 | | 3285.6178 | kids would just congregate under the bridge, we had no where else to go. | 3289.0444 |
3037 | | 3289.8059 | We didn't have family rooms and | 3291.6810 |
3039 | | 3291.9913 | patios and stuff like that. | 3293.9332 |
3041 | | 3294.4237 | And people lived in apartments, | 3296.2596 |
3043 | | 3296.7801 | and if | 3297.3140 |
3045 | | 3297.4208 | your parents sitting there, | 3298.8255 |
3047 | | 3299.3526 | you can't bring your company in there. You wanna talk or something, you couldn't go in your bedroom. | 3304.0247 |
3049 | | 3304.5485 | You got to sit there with your parents, so | 3306.5638 |
3051 | | 3307.1077 | we would all go under the bridges. | 3309.0437 |
3053 | | 3309.7144 | And | 3310.1381 |
3055 | | 3311.0323 | certain kids had certain bridges they liked to be under. | 3314.2229 |
3057 | | 3314.8168 | And we had boys that go from bridge to bridge, | 3317.8965 |
3059 | | 3318.1134 | telling | 3318.6105 |
3061 | | 3318.8508 | dirty jokes. | 3319.7959 |
3063 | | 3320.1796 | <laugh> | 3321.8111 |
3065 | | 3322.4751 | And we would laugh and | 3323.8732 |
3067 | | 3324.2702 | somebody might have a | 3325.7458 |
3069 | | 3325.8392 | a k- a bottle of | 3327.1705 |
3071 | | 3327.6610 | Pepsi or Coke or something and we'd share it. | 3330.6606 |
3073 | | 3330.8243 | And bag of peanuts and stuff like that. | 3333.1065 |
3075 | | 3333.4536 | It was just fun. | 3334.4545 |
3076 | ROC_int_01 | 3334.7415 | [Mm-hm.] | 3335.1522 |
3077 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3335.0484 | [We] had nothing else to do. | 3336.2738 |
3078 | | 3336.8043 | So that's- | 3337.1546 |
3080 | | 3337.2447 | that's what we did. | 3338.1957 |
3082 | | 3338.6328 | And when it was time to go home, I'd start walking and walk all the way over | 3342.7009 |
3084 | | 3343.1013 | across town. | 3343.9721 |
3086 | | 3344.9030 | <ts> | 3344.9531 |
3088 | | 3345.7872 | So um, | 3347.0484 |
3090 | | 3348.6875 | then over here | 3349.8720 |
3092 | | 3350.9230 | o- on my side of town, | 3352.5213 |
3094 | | 3352.8449 | they had what they called jukes. | 3354.4306 |
3096 | | 3355.0279 | You know what that is? | 3355.9020 |
3097 | ROC_int_01 | 3355.9287 | Mm-mm. | 3356.3458 |
3098 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3356.8229 | It's a place where they have a big juke box | 3359.4989 |
3100 | | 3360.2471 | and | 3360.6508 |
3102 | | 3361.2814 | you know what a juke box [is?] | 3362.8063 |
3103 | ROC_int_01 | 3362.6995 | [Mm-hm], | 3363.0550 |
3104 | | 3363.2167 | yeah. | 3363.5169 |
3105 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3363.6170 | So that's what | 3364.5346 |
3107 | | 3365.1585 | we would do. You punch | 3366.5841 |
3109 | | 3366.8243 | your- | 3367.1246 |
3111 | | 3367.5584 | the- | 3367.7319 |
3113 | | 3368.0489 | the songs you wanna hear, | 3369.5001 |
3115 | | 3370.2577 | and everybody would dance. | 3371.9093 |
3117 | | 3372.4273 | And ju- | 3372.7676 |
3119 | | 3373.2581 | just sit around | 3374.4326 |
3121 | | 3374.7462 | and talk. | 3375.3801 |
3123 | | 3376.1876 | And | 3376.6247 |
3125 | | 3377.7266 | they had one next door to my house then- | 3380.3725 |
3127 | | 3380.6861 | his name was Georgia Boy. | 3382.3159 |
3129 | | 3383.3020 | Big old man named Georgia Boy. He didn't play with no- | 3386.2991 |
3131 | | 3386.6394 | you didn't in here in his place acting up either. | 3389.6711 |
3133 | | 3390.2171 | And the other one name was Bop. | 3391.9788 |
3135 | | 3392.3391 | It was Bop's Blue Heaven. | 3393.9040 |
3137 | | 3393.9974 | <laugh> | 3395.0851 |
3138 | ROC_int_01 | 3395.1781 | <laugh> | 3395.5552 |
3139 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3395.5184 | He sold | 3396.3759 |
3140 | | 3396.5361 | records. | 3397.2435 |
3142 | | 3397.8707 | But I think he sold something else, but. | 3399.9127 |
3143 | ROC_int_01 | 3400.2397 | Mm. | 3400.5503 |
3144 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3400.5433 | But we didn't | 3401.2474 |
3145 | | 3401.8621 | it did- it wasn't our business, so. | 3403.6205 |
3147 | | 3404.3445 | But we think Bop sold something else. | 3406.8336 |
3149 | | 3407.7944 | And | 3408.3917 |
3151 | | 3409.2592 | that was a lot of fun too. | 3410.8904 |
3153 | | 3411.3646 | And then we had one friend, his name was /RD-NAME-2/ | 3414.1114 |
3155 | | 3414.9289 | /RD-NAME-2/, he went | 3416.1997 |
3157 | | 3416.3498 | to the war, | 3417.5616 |
3159 | | 3418.6587 | and he came back | 3420.0276 |
3161 | | 3420.5914 | and he was smoking reefer. | 3422.3431 |
3163 | | 3423.0772 | And we were scared of him. | 3424.3851 |
3165 | | 3424.5553 | Everybody was scared of him. | 3426.0142 |
3167 | | 3426.3712 | So he was like ostracized, nobody had anything to do with him. | 3430.1049 |
3168 | ROC_int_01 | 3430.2951 | Hm. | 3430.6287 |
3169 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3430.9891 | And he | 3431.8528 |
3171 | | 3432.0539 | kept doing what he was doing til he died. | 3434.5267 |
3173 | | 3435.1573 | So that was kind of scary | 3437.0599 |
3175 | | 3437.2760 | to have somebody using | 3438.7664 |
3177 | | 3439.1120 | drugs. | 3439.7905 |
3179 | | 3440.3698 | Boy if we could have that today. | 3442.2850 |
3181 | | 3442.3518 | <laugh> | 3443.2460 |
3183 | | 3443.5738 | Wouldn't that be something? | 3444.7016 |
3184 | ROC_int_01 | 3444.9118 | Mm-hm. | 3445.5090 |
3185 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3445.6992 | But, | 3445.9661 |
3187 | | 3446.4232 | that's the way it was back then, we were scared of 'em. | 3449.1492 |
3189 | | 3450.2298 | So, um, | 3451.2617 |
3191 | | 3451.6679 | <ts> and another thing, um, | 3453.4129 |
3193 | | 3454.7350 | we were more accepting of people | 3457.2308 |
3195 | | 3457.6812 | same sex | 3458.6129 |
3197 | | 3459.0693 | being | 3459.6398 |
3199 | | 3460.2379 | in love or caring about each other [too.] | 3462.3866 |
3200 | ROC_int_01 | 3462.2332 | [Really?] | 3462.9972 |
3201 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3462.9972 | That wasn't a issue | 3464.3886 |
3202 | | 3464.8090 | back then. I don't know how that got started. | 3467.3256 |
3204 | | 3468.0697 | Um, | 3468.6035 |
3206 | | 3469.5244 | and we had two of 'em that come to our house and borrow my mother's clothes, her fur coats and all these | 3475.6846 |
3208 | | 3476.1193 | nice clothes my mother had. | 3477.7209 |
3210 | | 3478.7839 | One name was Sue, | 3480.0146 |
3212 | | 3480.6424 | And the other one name was Manny. | 3482.4016 |
3214 | | 3482.9521 | And I remember them as if it was last week. | 3485.8750 |
3216 | | 3486.3454 | And Sue was a little lady, little one, and | 3488.9588 |
3218 | | 3489.1023 | this- she'd always walk like this. | 3491.4736 |
3220 | | 3492.1186 | And she lived on /RD-ADDRESS-2/ up over the police precinct. | 3496.1466 |
3221 | ROC_int_01 | 3496.4903 | Mm. | 3496.8273 |
3222 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3497.1910 | And Manny would visit her, so they- | 3499.6502 |
3224 | | 3499.8544 | They may have been a couple or | 3501.6728 |
3226 | | 3501.8463 | they just- | 3502.3969 |
3228 | | 3502.8006 | I don't know what they did. | 3503.8750 |
3229 | ROC_int_01 | 3504.2854 | Mm-hm. | 3504.7658 |
3230 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3504.7058 | But, | 3504.9794 |
3231 | | 3505.8310 | that wasn't a issue back then. | 3507.6016 |
3233 | | 3508.3135 | And we had police stations | 3510.1186 |
3235 | | 3510.9727 | everywhere. | 3511.6461 |
3237 | | 3513.2391 | Everywhere. | 3513.9498 |
3239 | | 3514.1975 | We had one on Bronson. | 3515.6894 |
3241 | | 3516.2395 | We had 'em on um, | 3517.8811 |
3243 | | 3518.5217 | Jefferson. | 3519.3292 |
3245 | | 3519.9698 | Thurston. | 3520.7606 |
3247 | | 3521.1051 | They were everywhere. | 3522.1369 |
3249 | | 3522.6666 | Just like | 3523.1904 |
3251 | | 3524.2433 | see neighborhoods had movies. | 3526.2526 |
3253 | | 3527.0101 | My- | 3527.3138 |
3255 | | 3527.4406 | my g- nephew, | 3528.4882 |

3261 | | 3532.4096 | /RD-ADDRESS-1/ Street. | 3533.1636 |
3263 | | 3533.6408 | And that used to be the World Theater. | 3535.8696 |
3265 | | 3536.1198 | That was the name of it. | 3537.1475 |
3266 | ROC_int_01 | 3537.1842 | [Oh.] | 3537.5913 |
3267 | ROC_se0_ag3_f_02 | 3537.2609 | [The World.] | 3537.9683 |

3272 | | 3543.9157 | Clinton Avenue, | 3545.0235 |
