Hall: “Xavier University.” Interviewer: “Xavier University, and that’s in New Orleans.” CMSgt. Hall: “Mhm” Interviewer: “And how long were you there before you were drafted into the army?” CMSgt. Hall: “Well, I was there two years. My junior year.” Interviewer: “So you would have been just starting your junior year?” CMSgt. Hall: “Mhm.” Interviewer: “And you showed us the green cap.” CMSgt. Hall: chuckles “Yeah all the freshmen at Xavier wore green caps. That meant their heads were green.” Interviewer: “So what were the other caps?” CMSgt. Hall: “Oh, just the green for the freshmens” Interviewer: “Just the green for the freshmens, so other folks didn’t have to wear the caps.” CMSgt. Hall: “Oh no, once you were a sophomore-” Interviewer: “You could stop, okay.” CMSgt. Hall: “You could pass it to some freshmen, some greenhead.” chuckles Interviewer: “Gotcha, alright. Now, can you tell me more about your elementary school and what those classes were like?” CMSgt. Hall: “Well, let’s see, hmm. They had this one teacher by the name of Mrs. Clovin[?], she taught the fifth grade. Back in those days, the average boy would drop out around fifth or sixth grade, and Mrs. Clovin was very tough. She was built very heavy, especially around the arms. Her arms were about like that, and she was very short. She made perrymeadows [?] switches, so she would have the boys go down into the swamp and gather switches. She would give them specifications, ‘I don’t want them too long, not too small, just right. I want them just right.’ You had to meet her specifications. Chuckles And these guys are gonna get whooped with these. I know that one. And she only sent me down one time to cut up perrymeadows [?]. Just one time.” Interviewer: “Well, hey, that’s not too bad! That’s a pretty good record.” CMSgt. Hall: chuckles “That’s right! Especially with her, she was tough!” Interviewer: “So what kind of lessons, like, what kind of homework and lessons you guys had?” CMSgt. Hall: “Oh, we had math, geography, history, yeah...” Interviewer: “So pretty similar to what we’ve got now.” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah, y’know you had to write term papers and such...” Interviewer: “So-” CMSgt. Hall: “Mrs. Clovin was quite a teacher. Uh, she was very strict, and she would use these perrymeadows and she was left handed, I’ll never forget that. And when she’d drop that arm, the meat [on her arm] would shake all over the place. Chuckles Everybody remembered Mrs. Clovin. She wasn’t very tall, but she was heavy. Had heavy arms.” Interviewer: “She’d hit you pretty hard, I imagine.” CMSgt. Hall: “Huh?” Interviewer: “She’d hit you pretty hard, I imagine.” CMSgt. Hall: “Oh yeah, just as soon as that arm would drop and that meat would shake see?” both laugh CMSgt. Hall: “And a guy by the name of Roy [last name unknown, possibly Years?]...I think, yeah I think he was in the fifth grade. He’d always try to make fun of her and she caught him one day, see.” Interviewer: “Oh no” CMSgt. Hall: “And she started whacking on this guy and he just kinda ran – that made her mad, you see. The more he ran the harder she would hit.” laughs Interviewer: “Well, he ought not to of ran, now had he?” CMSgt. Hall: “Oh Lord.” Interviewer: “Well, how did you enjoy being at Xavier?” CMSgt. Hall: “Oh well, I enjoyed it, but it’s just, you see, I was interviewed by Mother [name unknown] who was the dean, She interviewed all the freshmens, and so when it came my time, I put my tie on, shirt and all to meet her and she said “Mr. Hall, we have awarded you a four year atheletic scholarship.” And then she said, “Now however, [this requires something special from you?], one you must maintain a ‘B’ average.” Then she paused, see, I had a ‘B’ average at Hungerford, you see. She said, “That includes the Catholic religion.” I said “Oh Lord!” laughs I had two years of Latin at Hungerford, see, and that’s what saved me. See, Hungerford was a private school and they had to teach two years of a foreign language.” Interviewer: “Gotcha, okay.” CMSgt. Hall: “So like Latin. Now, all the other high schools taught French, Spanish, and Latin. Hungerford only had one, and it just so happened to be a Catholic school. It came in handy. Interviewer: “Well hey, you went into the military and they’re all about Latin so-” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah!” Interviewer: “So when uh-” CMSgt. Hall: “So after she interviews me, a classmate, her name’s Catherine Brown – she used to sit right across from me, see. So she’s having problems with her math, now I know she’s a staunch Catholic, all her brothers and sisters had gone to private school, her parents were Catholic, and she’s Catholic and so around the time we had an exam I was invited to, y’know - “Oh I can help you with math, if you can help get me through the catechisms. She didn’t live too far from the campus and so every time I had a test – I made a date with her. So I’d say hey, cause you couldn’t go too far from campus at night, so I’d show up early cause we got a test tomorrow. I’d show up with the book and we’d sit out on her porch and she got me through.” Interviewer: “Well, okay, that was good!” CMSgt. Hall: “Without her, I couldn’t have made it. She couldn’t have made it through math, either. They were Catholics at Hungerford, see most schools didn’t teach Catholics at that time.” Interviewer: “Wait most schools didn’t teach Catholics?” CMSgt. Hall: “No, not at that time, but Hungerford did, though.” Interviewer: “That’s… huh, that’s… interesting.” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah.” Interviewer: “Is it because there weren’t a lot of Catholics around here, is that what it was?” CMSgt. Hall: “I don’t know. There wasn’t that many, cause most of my classmates were from someplace else. Some of them came from New York, and Pennsylvania, Pittsburg there was one from Philadelphia. Interviewer: “So when you were in high school, going to Hungerford, so what you’re saying is that it wasn’t just local kids.” CMSgt. Hall: “ No no, they were from all over.” Interviewer: “Wow, okay.” CMSgt. Hall: “And incidentally, there was one from Alabama.” Interviewer: “Well my apologies on that one. So when you graduated and went on to Tuskegee [correction: Xavier], you went on an athletic scholarship so what teams did you play on while you were there?” CMSgt. Hall: “Football” Interviewer: “Okay and what teams did you play on? [Correction: interviewer mean position] CMSgt. Hall: “Half-back, er, running back.” Interviewer: “Okay, so you were a running back, then?” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah, that’s what’s wrong with my legs now.” Interviewer: “Oh bless – I’m sorry.” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah got scars all over them. Back in those days, we used those old quilts.” Interviewer: “Oh I see.” CMSgt. Hall: “Now they use a hard rubber, and when you’re a running back, they try to get you to stumble over your legs to slow you down.” Interviewer: “Did y’all have hard helmets back then or the leather?” CMSgt. Hall: “Soft.” Interviewer: “Oh y’all had the soft helmets.” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah, and when I went to Hungerford, we got the hand-me-downs from Rollins College.” Interviewer: “Y’all got the hand-me-downs from Rollins?” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah.” Interviewer: “Huh.” CMSgt. Hall: “Soft helmets, the hip pads – you had to wrap them around about twice and tape.” Interviewer: “And y’all had your own jerseys too?” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah” Interviewer: “Okay” CMSgt. Hall: “I got a picture just over there. That case that’s hanging on the wall was the first athletic team from Hungerford, and the letter from it.” Interviewer: “That’s cool. So then you got drafted- ” CMSgt. Hall: “Oh that, now that’s a doozy. Now what happened was the sisters says, ‘Now Mr. Hall, if you stay in school, we can protect you from the draft.’ Well, they didn’t have that much power, so then they said, ‘If you join the reserves, that’ll protect you and keep you in school. So I joined the reserves. Sounded good to me, y’know? Well, it didn’t my sophomore year. Something happened that year and they called me into duty. So when I took the exams – they had to give you exams – they decided ‘Well, we’re gonna send you to Aircraft Manual School’ at Chanute Aircraft Base in Illinois.’ I had heard about it but aside y’know, I had no idea what it was. It was nothing but corn fields, so, flat. It was good for flying. It wasn’t anything like the Appalachian mountains or the Caracas[?]. They call it the ‘breadbasket’.” Interviewer: “Gotcha, okay.” CMSgt. Hall: “And that’s where I ended up.” Interviewer: “And where was that located again?” CMSgt. Hall: “Chanute Airforce Base in Illinois.” Interviewer: “In Illinois, okay. Wow, y’all really were in the middle of corn country.” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah, and I’m from Florida, so it was cold to me. The first time I saw snow was in Louisiana.” Interviewer: “Yeah you probably were cold!” CMSgt. Hall: laughs Interviewer: “Lord have mercy.” CMSgt. Hall: Back during the first time I saw snow, all the guys – they were all from northern places. They were all, “What do you mean you’ve never, it’s just snow?” and I was just - “Man, it’s beautiful! I’ve never seen snow before!” Interviewer: “You probably got a bate of that pretty quick, I’d imagine. So then you went to Illinois, is that where you got your mechanical training?” CMSgt. Hall: “Right, Aircraft Maintenance School.” Interviewer: “So you were never a pilot.” CMSgt. Hall: “No, I was flight engineer.” Interviewer: “Gotcha, okay. So, when you were serving, where, when they finally deployed you- ” CMSgt. Hall: “Well when they deployed us, they sent me to France, when I first joined the Tuskegee Airmen.” Interviewer: “Okay so you were deployed in France during WWII.” CMSgt. Hall: “That was one of the places, yeah. After I left this country I went to France. After France we went to Germany! Interviewer: “So what was that like?” CMSgt. Hall: “Oh, terrible! War torn country, people hungry. Kids- babies starving to death. Hitler had drafted - I saw boys about that high holding a rifle and the rifle was dragging the ground. Cause he’d killed off all the men, so he decided to draft all the males.” Interviewer: “So these young boys wouldn’t have been no more than what? Twelve?” CMSgt. Hall: “Twelve? Yeah. Cause one had his rife over his shoulder and the butt was dragging the ground and he was holding onto the muzzle.” Interviewer: “Wow, bless his heart.” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah, small boys.” Interviewer: “And how long were you serving there?” CMSgt. Hall: “I got there in ‘43 to ‘45.” Interviewer: “So 43 to 45. That would have been about-” CMSgt. Hall: “Wait, 42 to 45. Well, no that would have been 44 to 45. That time.” Interviewer: “So you served there for about a year.” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah, but you see I went to Europe 3 times altogether in WWII.” Interviewer: “So when you were deployed, did you ever come home at any time?” CMSgt. Hall: “No! Back in those days, when the war’s over I came home.” Interviewer: “Okay, so you were truly there several years then.” CMSgt. Hall: “Well the war was over in ‘45 and I went over in 43-44. I came out of school in 43… I came out of school and [got trained] and went directly to Europe.” Interviewer: “Gotcha. So you were in Europe for probably about 2 years.” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah that time, that was my first trip. I went back after then.” Interviewer: “So you’d never been out of the country before that point.” CMSgt. Hall: “No, that was my first time out of the country.” Interviewer: “Wow, have you been back – back to France since then?” CMSgt. Hall: “Well yeah, after the war, during my 20 something, 30 years. I went back twice.” Interviewer: “What do you think of it now?” CMSgt. Hall: “Well, it’s quite an improvement!” laughs “You don’t seen any more hungry people now. All the houses where people live are on the street and not in basements.” Interviewer: “Now you were primarily an aircraft mechanic, but did you ever serve in trenches or infantry at all?” CMSgt. Hall: “No, never. The only time I had to dig a trench was when I went to Korea. I was on Okinawa, and my wife – I was waiting for over a year for house and my wife was supposed to travel to Okinawa and join me. I waited for about 9 months for that house. If you’re on the housing list, you have to wait til someone else moves our or dies or something. And so I was talking to my wife by phone, it was one of those that you had to wait til the other person was done talking before you talked back. And I talked to her at night, certain times of night directly, that was in November of ‘49. Yeah, and I was gonna get the house sometime in ‘50 cause I was supposed to get it on the 25th of June and I said ‘Don’t take that house back because my wife is supposed to be here the 1st of July.’ I wanted to get flowers in the yard, build me some bamboo furniture, get the house ready on the inside. So they let me off, gave me a Jeep, let me off because my wife’s coming down. Colonel came by one day didn’t have a radio or nothing, I was just getting my house together and he came by one day and he says ‘Hall when was the last time you qualified for the rifle range?’ I said ‘Man, don’t you remember? We qualified together! Don’t you remember’ I remembered that they’d already asked me this question so I wondered, ‘I’m already qualified, why would you ask me this question?’ He says ‘Get in the Jeep and we’ll go by supply and draw a couple of rounds [?] See the rifle range wasn’t too far, and on our way over there, he says ‘Look a country up north just decided to fight among themselves.’ Now I don’t have no radio, been out of contact for a couple of weeks with my outfit while putting my house together, I had no reason – and he says ‘A little country up north has decided to fight among themselves.’ and I said ‘Well, Colonel, what does that have to do with us?’ says ‘We already fought one war.’ ” Interviewer: “Yeah, we just got done with one.” CMSgt. Hall: “ He said, ‘Well, we’ve been selected because because of the type of aircraft we have” - We had night fighters at that time. I said, ‘You can’t find somebody to send over there? We’ve already been to war.’ He said, “Well, we’ve been selected because we’ve got nightfighters. That was in June and by September I was on my way to Korea.” Interviewer: “And WWII had only been over for just a little short while, hadn’t it?” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah, ‘45.” Interviewer: “Which one do you think was worse?” CMSgt. Hall: “Both of them! Oh Lord! When I got to Korea, Colonel says ‘Find a place for your outfits.” I had a platoon, and we all found an old school house that was on base that didn’t have no top on it, but it had a pot belly stove in the middle of it. Now when I was in Okinawa, Okinawa at that time was like Florida, Korea was like New York or Maine! That’s the difference: north and south. So we out of the south, no winter clothes – cold. They took our warm clothes away in Okinawa because it was hot, like Florida. And so I – and now [unintelligible] moved next to us and they used our runway since they had their own aircraft, so we’d use the same runway. So I got to know the suppliers over there and I told them, ‘Y’know what? I have an aircraft going back to Japan to take aircraft parts everyday, now I could have a case of whatever you like to drink on the next one’ Since I wrote the messages. And he went for it! They all these new clothes, brand new skates that buckled like this – they had these clothes where you zip the legs out like this- . They had hoods goggles, hoods attached to coats on the collars, the whole nine yards. So I made a deal with him. I said ‘Now I can have a case of whatever you drink on that manifest since I’m getting aircraft parts every other day from Japan.’ And that’s how I got my whole outfit clothes.” 21:31 ish Interviewer: “You had to get you something warm!” CMSgt. Hall: “I gave the Colonel my first box, and he asked me ‘Where’d you get it from, Hall?’ I just gave him that look and he said ‘Oh I don’t want to know.’ I got the second one.” Interviewer: “So you were stationed in Okinawa first then and then they shipped you over to Korea.” CMSgt. Hall: “Oh yeah, I went from there to Korea.” Interviewer: “Okay, because I guess, for some reason, I thought they just sent straight to Korea, but they had the station in Okinawa, first.” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah, they had the military station in Okinawa, but they had a bunch of guys from the States, too. The [unintelligible] I had never heard of them before, this was something new. They had their own tanks, field artillery and aircraft. They were designed as a strike-force, to take out tankers and such. So I got to know them, they had new clothes and here my guys were cold.” Interviewer: “So how cold did it get in Korea?” CMSgt. Hall: “Just like it did in New York City! It was just like if you moved from Florida to New York. Moved from Okinawa to Korea. Same difference if you look at the map, it’s just as far north as New York.” Interviewer: “Huh! Really?” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah, just look at the map sometime. I had a map around someplace. I had one in my desk, see that desk right there?” Interviewer: “So, going back to WWI, what-” CMSgt. Hall: “You mean WWII.” Interviewer: “Oh you’re right, I’m sorry.” CMSgt. Hall: “My uncle was in WWI.” Interviewer: “So what battalion and squadron were you part of?” CMSgt. Hall: “51st Fighter in Korea, 332nd in Europe.” Interviewer: “Now, from what I understand they disbanded the Tuskegee Airmen in 1945.” CMSgt. Hall: “No it was into ‘49. President Truman said we needed to have integrated service. We only had one service. That happened in 1949.” Interviewer: “So at that point they desegregated it?” CMSgt. Hall: “Yeah, that’s what I said in 1949. I ended up with Col. Davis, y’know Benjamin O. Davis? He was the first black to finish at West Point. I got his picture around here someplace. He sends out for us and says ‘They’re gonna abandon this outfit,’ and we said ‘Where are we going?’ and he said ‘Wherever the Air Force is.’ At that time the Air Force was brand new. So I ended up on Okinawa, nine of us. And when we got to Okinawa, they promoted once a year. That December all nine of us had been promoted. Everybody else was like, ‘You just got here! How did you get promoted?!’ But what they didn’t realized is that we just fought in WWII.” Interviewer: “So how long were you in Korea?” CMSgt. Hall: “Well, that time, let’s see… From September right to December then we came back to Japan, and then we flew back and forth from Japan to Korea. Then the Air Force said ‘You can go home now, or you can have your wife join you in Japan. Now, I’m still on flying status, see, every other day, all of of a sudden I said, ‘Y’know what? This war is still going on, but I think I’ll go home.’” Interviewer: “So, you didn’t go back, then, after that.” CMSgt. Hall: “Well, I flew back and forth to Korea for about three months after that. From January into June so almost five months.” Interviewer: “So at that point you were able to go back and forth then, between Japan and home.” CMSgt. Hall: “No, my wife – When I got the offer for her to come over, that meant I had enough time for her to join me over there.” Interviewer: “Oh, so she joined you in Japan?” CMSgt. Hall: “No, they wanted her to!” Interviewer: “Oh they wanted her to join you in Japan!” CMSgt. Hall: “And I said, ‘No, I’m still on flying status, no way, uh uh.’” Interviewer: “So you opted to go back home.” CMSgt. Hall: “Right. Because, y’know, there’s still- war’s still going on and folks on flying status could do what they wanted to.” Interviewer: “Gotcha, okay.” CMSgt. Hall: “Come back home, then our first child was born, that’s when I got off flying status. That’s when I got off flying status. Flying status meant that they could just yank you out whenever, not that you were qualified to fly.” [End of Recording] Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data .wav file Duration Length of time involved (seconds, minutes, hours, days, class periods, etc.) 28:55 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Andy Wootten Collection Subject The topic of the resource Graphic Artists -- Florida -- Winter Park Description An account of the resource The Andy Wootten Collection Professional artist - his work in Winter Park was ubiquitous Andy Wootten was born on August 9, 1912, in Lafayette, Georgia. His parents were Andrew J. and Lucy B. Wootten. In 1920, the family moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where Andy attended public schools. In the late 1920's, when Wootten was about sixteen years old, Paramount Theaters, Inc. hired him to draw and paint "lobby posters." Hand-painted lobby posters were "on-the-cutting-edge" advertising at this time and only found at the finer theaters. Wootten painted for Paramount's three Chattanooga theaters: the Tivoli, Rialto, and State, the Tivoli being the largest and finest. On their web page, the City of Chattanooga has photographs and a short history of the Tivoli Theater. The following is taken from their web page. "The Tivoli Theater opened on March 19, 1921 following two years of construction. Construction cost was close to $1 million...a lavish sum for its day. The Tivoli's interior reflects the Beaux Arts style popular for movie palaces of the 1920's. Its high-domed ceiling, grand lobby, crystal chandeliers and elegant foyer were designed to transport patrons to a world of richness and splendor. Designed by the Chicago-based architectural firm of Rapp and Rapp, the Tivoli was built to accommodate both silent movies and live stage productions, making it state-of-the-art for its time. More innovations followed. In 1924 a $30,000 Wurlitzer organ was installed. The Tivoli became one of the first public buildings in the country to be air conditioned. In 1926, Paramount Studios bought the Tivoli, making it part of the Paramount-Publix Theater chain." Popular films of the period included: "The Jazz Singer" (1927), "Tarzan, the Ape Man" (1932, "Mutiny on the Bounty" (1935), "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937), "Gone With the Wind" (1939), "Pinocchio" (1940), and "Fantasia" (1941). During World War II, (1942 - 1946), Wootten served in the U.S. Coast Guard, 7th Naval District, Miami, Fl. His artistic and creative talents were used in Coast Guard publications, and in designing and building Coast Guard recruiting exhibits. The January, 1944 and the February, 1945 issues of "U.S. Coast Guard Magazine" featured covers created by Wootten. After his tour of duty with the U.S. Coast Guard, Wootten came to Central Florida and returned to painting lobby posters for the "Beacham, Vogue, and Roxy" theaters in Orlando, and the "Baby Grand" and "Colony" theaters, in Winter Park. In addition to his "theater art" he began expanding his work to include commercial sign painting and interior design work. In 1946 Wootten rented ($15.00 per month) the second floor of the building at Park and New England Avenues. From this location he operated the Andy Wootten Studios, later purchasing property and relocating to Clay Street. His clients included: R. C. Baker Men's Clothing, Kummer Lumber, Bumby Hardware, Winter Park Land Company, Barbizon Restaurant, Cottrell's 5 and 10 Cent Store, The Golden Cricket, Taylor's Drug Store, Baldwin Hardware, Greeneda Court, Imperial House, Baggett's, the Rune Stone and other Winter Park businesses. In the Orlando area his clients included: Crum's Fuel Oil, Heintzelman's Ford, L.A. Johnson Fuel Oil, Holloway Concrete, The Shoe Box, Tupperware, and several area banks. One of Wootten's fondest memories, and a tradition still enjoyed by Winter Parker's, was the creation of Christmas Card Lane. Wootten remembers visiting Davis Island (Tampa area) where he saw a "Christmas Card lane". He thought the concept would work in Winter Park and approached the Chamber of Commerce. Paint and a few supplies were provided for the project. A number of the local merchants became involved. Wootten remembers cutting sheets of plywood into 4 X 4 foot squares, drawing Christmas scenes onto the plywood Christmas cards. Volunteers would gather at a garage located behind the Barbizon Restaurant and paint the Christmas Cards. The Christmas cards pictured reindeer, Santa Claus, Christmas bells, and other seasonal scenes. Many Winter Park citizens assisted with the project but Edith Tadd Little, Newton Merrill, Jim Holloway, and Tom Ferris, particularly, gave a great deal of time and energy to the project. Brackets for the cards were designed and made by Gene Beeler. City work crews hung the cards. Andy Wooten passed away July 29, 2012. Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Andy Wootten Collection Subject The topic of the resource Graphic Artists -- Florida -- Winter Park Description An account of the resource The Andy Wootten Collection Professional artist - his work in Winter Park was ubiquitous Andy Wootten was born on August 9, 1912, in Lafayette, Georgia. His parents were Andrew J. and Lucy B. Wootten. In 1920, the family moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where Andy attended public schools. In the late 1920's, when Wootten was about sixteen years old, Paramount Theaters, Inc. hired him to draw and paint "lobby posters." Hand-painted lobby posters were "on-the-cutting-edge" advertising at this time and only found at the finer theaters. Wootten painted for Paramount's three Chattanooga theaters: the Tivoli, Rialto, and State, the Tivoli being the largest and finest. On their web page, the City of Chattanooga has photographs and a short history of the Tivoli Theater. The following is taken from their web page. "The Tivoli Theater opened on March 19, 1921 following two years of construction. Construction cost was close to $1 million...a lavish sum for its day. The Tivoli's interior reflects the Beaux Arts style popular for movie palaces of the 1920's. Its high-domed ceiling, grand lobby, crystal chandeliers and elegant foyer were designed to transport patrons to a world of richness and splendor. Designed by the Chicago-based architectural firm of Rapp and Rapp, the Tivoli was built to accommodate both silent movies and live stage productions, making it state-of-the-art for its time. More innovations followed. In 1924 a $30,000 Wurlitzer organ was installed. The Tivoli became one of the first public buildings in the country to be air conditioned. In 1926, Paramount Studios bought the Tivoli, making it part of the Paramount-Publix Theater chain." Popular films of the period included: "The Jazz Singer" (1927), "Tarzan, the Ape Man" (1932, "Mutiny on the Bounty" (1935), "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937), "Gone With the Wind" (1939), "Pinocchio" (1940), and "Fantasia" (1941). During World War II, (1942 - 1946), Wootten served in the U.S. Coast Guard, 7th Naval District, Miami, Fl. His artistic and creative talents were used in Coast Guard publications, and in designing and building Coast Guard recruiting exhibits. The January, 1944 and the February, 1945 issues of "U.S. Coast Guard Magazine" featured covers created by Wootten. After his tour of duty with the U.S. Coast Guard, Wootten came to Central Florida and returned to painting lobby posters for the "Beacham, Vogue, and Roxy" theaters in Orlando, and the "Baby Grand" and "Colony" theaters, in Winter Park. In addition to his "theater art" he began expanding his work to include commercial sign painting and interior design work. In 1946 Wootten rented ($15.00 per month) the second floor of the building at Park and New England Avenues. From this location he operated the Andy Wootten Studios, later purchasing property and relocating to Clay Street. His clients included: R. C. Baker Men's Clothing, Kummer Lumber, Bumby Hardware, Winter Park Land Company, Barbizon Restaurant, Cottrell's 5 and 10 Cent Store, The Golden Cricket, Taylor's Drug Store, Baldwin Hardware, Greeneda Court, Imperial House, Baggett's, the Rune Stone and other Winter Park businesses. In the Orlando area his clients included: Crum's Fuel Oil, Heintzelman's Ford, L.A. Johnson Fuel Oil, Holloway Concrete, The Shoe Box, Tupperware, and several area banks. One of Wootten's fondest memories, and a tradition still enjoyed by Winter Parker's, was the creation of Christmas Card Lane. Wootten remembers visiting Davis Island (Tampa area) where he saw a "Christmas Card lane". He thought the concept would work in Winter Park and approached the Chamber of Commerce. Paint and a few supplies were provided for the project. A number of the local merchants became involved. Wootten remembers cutting sheets of plywood into 4 X 4 foot squares, drawing Christmas scenes onto the plywood Christmas cards. Volunteers would gather at a garage located behind the Barbizon Restaurant and paint the Christmas Cards.

Oh, did you want to hear about Girl Scouting in Winter Park? Mrs. Alexander: Yes. I think that would be very interesting. You were very active in it. Mrs. Colado: Because I didn’t start – I didn’t have the first Girl Scout Troop. But the summer after I was married, I guess it was the summer of ’32, I was asked to go out and be on the staff of the Girl Scout camp, Wewa, in Plymouth. But I didn’t know anything about Girl Scouting. I went to teach archery, and do waterfront work and physical education – some of the things, nature hikes, things like that. But I did get to know all the Girl Scout people, and was really sold on Girl Scout programs. So the next year when I came back, I mean after school had started and everything, Mrs. Caldwell – Halstead Caldwell, asked me if I wouldn’t take a troop. And there was one troop. So I was Troop Two. The Troop One, Mrs. Lawrence was leader of. And it was . . . Mrs. Alexander: Did she organize scouting – Girl Scouting here? Mrs. Colado: Well, it didn’t sort of work that way. Mrs. Christ in Orlando was the leading light of Girl Scouts. And if she wanted a troop some place, she got somebody to organize it, or something. Mrs. Alexander: I see. Mrs. Colado: She was sort of official. And she was very, very good. She – I don’t know how Mrs. Lawrence happened to get the troop, but Mrs. Lawrence was the leader and Mrs. Dumars was the assistant leader and the troop absolutely filled. They weren’t supposed to have more than thirty-two girls, and I’m sure they had a whole bunch more than that. So there was no room for these other girls. Mrs. Alexander: I see. Mrs. Colado: And the girls that live in town now, that I can think of, that were in that first troop were Peggy Caldwell Strong (Mrs. Hope Strong, Jr.) and Carolyn Kent. Carolyn lives in Orlando, but her mother lives here. And there must have been some other – there were other girls, but there were only eight to begin with. Mrs. Alexander: Oh. Mrs. Colado: And we met in my house, and I can remember doing all the Girl Scout things and the Girl Scout songs. I can still remember them. But then, when the troop grew, we moved to the Parish House, All Saints Parish House. And that was a very nice building in back of the little church on Lyman. And we met there for a while. Then the Kiwanis Club, Mr. Fanning, who was a Kiwanian, donated property on Minnesota Avenue, on the south side of Minnesota, just off of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Alexander: I remember. Mrs. Colado: A tiny little bungalow, back off the street. And the Kiwanians built it. Mrs. Alexander: Oh. Mrs. Colado: . . . and gave it to the Girl Scouts. And it was a pretty little thing – had a beautiful fireplace. An artist, a sculptor in Orlando, did a relief thing, of Girl Scouts, I think, around a camp fire, that was over the fireplace. It was nice, and every troop, for several years, met there. We all had our day. Then, of course, Girl Scouting grew so, by leaps and bounds, that we couldn’t use it any more for every troop. But some of the things that happened when Rollins Chapel was built, and I don’t know exactly what year that was. Nita Mutispaugh and I organized a Vesper service for Girl Scouts, and we had it for all the Scouts in Central Florida, because at the time, the council that we operated was the Orange Lake Council. About a Winter Park pageant: Mrs. Alexander: Did the students really write this pageant every year, or did they have a . . . Mrs. Colado: No. No, they never wrote it. One year, a Mrs. Rena Carrie Sheffield wrote it. Her daughter was a student at Rollins. Mrs. Alexander: Oh. Mrs. Colado: And she wrote it. She also wrote a song called “Osceola” that was sung and played that time. And there were always Indian maids and Indian warriors, and girls in gauze veils that danced around. Mrs. Alexander: Did it deal with the history of Central Florida? Mrs. Colado: No, I think it had something to do with the history of the Indians before the Florida town developed. I know . . . Mrs. Alexander: This was celebrating the founding of Winter Park, but it dealt with the Indians who were here a long time before. Mrs. Colado: I think it did, yes. I know the Indians featured prominently, because Dean Sprague – R.J. Sprague, was Dean, and he was also acting President at one time, at the college. And he was Chief Osceola. Mrs. Alexander: He played the part of Chief Osceola? Mrs. Colado: He played the part of Chief Osceola. And they started from the McKean’s property – well, it’s next to – I don’t know – it’s across from the home on Interlachen Avenue. That big house. Mrs. Alexander: Um-hum. Mrs. Colado: It’s vacant land, still. And there’s a mound down there that we were always told was Osceola’s grave. Mrs. Alexander: Oh Mrs. Colado: And that’s where this canoe, war canoe filled with warriors came. Well, the warriors had really imbibed a bit, I’m afraid, in order to get over being stage-struck, maybe, or have the strength to paddle the canoe. (They laugh) But anyway, they came on a very crooked course across that lake, with Dean Sprague standing up in the bow with his hand up, you know. And then the boys, the Indian braves, danced for these Indian maidens. Mrs. Alexander: I see. Mrs. Colado: And I could remember my husband, and a couple of the others who had to do this, saying that they would pinch the girls to give them a thrill. (They laugh) You’ll probably want to delete some of this. But it was fun, it was lots of fun. I don’t have the slightest idea what I did. I think a couple of times I did stay behind the bushes and help with the costumes. Mrs. Alexander: All the students took part, in one way or another, in this pageant? Mrs. Colado: No, not all of them. Just the girls in the Physical Education section classes. And the boys could be roped into doing it.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Drinkwater: “The City of Winter Park celebrated its one-hundredth birthday in 1982. And a very nice part of that celebration was the publication of a booklet called Tales of Winter Park. One of the talks was told by Mr. Robert Langford, the owner of the Langford Hotel. He spoke of distinguished guests who had stayed at the hotel, among them, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. And I should like to add a postscript to what he says about her visit.” “Mrs. Roosevelt was in Winter Park in February, 1956. She came at the invitation of the United Nations Association, and spoke at a dinner in her honor at the Langford Hotel.” About President Franklin Roosevelt and wife Eleanor: Drinkwater: “It was a great occasion, and a very happy time for me. I had lived in Dutchess County, New York, during ten years of the Roosevelt administration. The family came home to vote at Hyde Park, of course, and on Election Eve there was sometimes a political rally in front of the Nelson House, the big old hotel in Poughkeepsie. I remember that the president had to lean heavily on the arm of his son, James, because he carried those heavy braces on his legs. But as soon as he spoke you forgot all that. That wonderful voice. It became familiar to people around the world, and renewed our hope in a troubled time. “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” “The last time I saw President Roosevelt was in October, 1944 – a beautiful fall day. He had had a long drive in the lovely Hudson River country which was home. He stopped in front of the post office in Poughkeepsie, which had been built in his administration, and of the fieldstone of Dutchess County, as he wanted it to be. He sat in an open-air car, his cape around his shoulders (He loved that old cape!). He was relaxed and happy, but he looked so tired and old. And in a few months, he was gone. He died April, 1945.” “Mrs. Roosevelt, of course, was everywhere, and we were delighted to welcome her to Winter Park. Well, some of us were. This was not what you would call Roosevelt country. Or United Nations country, as Mr. Langford points out.” Finally, some last comments on Eleanor Roosevelt: Drinkwater: “The last time I saw Mrs. Roosevelt was in Washington, at some kind of United Nations meeting, actually. I blew her a kiss over the heads of the crowd around her, and she returned it with a smile before she stepped into the elevator.” “Here is Mr. Langford’s appraisal of Mrs. Roosevelt: He said, “She was a very powerful woman, a very fine one. She was very gracious, and very smart.” Duration Length of time involved (seconds, minutes, hours, days, class periods, etc.) 2:57 Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data mp3 Bit Rate/Frequency Rate at which bits are transferred (i.e. 96 kbit/s would be FM quality audio) 128 kbps Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feb 8th, 1902 Dear Mr. Grover, It is a great pleasure to know that the Primer is soon to appear. To me it is always a joy to see an effort completed. You ask how The Sun-bonnet Babies originated; well, They began their career as a joke and they seem to have gone on their way, creating smiles, everafter. There once was a studio, with three young women in it, two painted on china and on sketched in watercolor and ink. One day a characteristic head was up for inspection, and one of the three said “Well, it’s all in the face, the character,” “I think that is not always so,” said the sketcher and thereupon drew with a few lines, a baby in a bonnet, trudging along and for decorative effect she carried a huge four-leaf-clover. This undoubtedly is the reason why all the succeeding babies were healthy, happy, lucky and wise. The idea developed and the children grew more interesting all the time, as children do, until I am almost amazed at my family. It is a sincere pleasure to feel sure that my little people make real little girls and boys happier the work is its own reward. Very cordially yours Bertha L.
