My name is Lillian Gantsoudes. I will be doing the interview. Our veteran today is Buell Wallace Gifford, and his daughter is also with us today, Sandra Gifford. Mr. Gifford, thank you very much for being with us. To start off the interview, if you would give us your full name and date and place of birth. Buell Gifford: Buell Wallace Gifford. And I was born in Conrad, Arkansas, June 19, 1924. LG: Was your family from Arkansas? What was that like, was that where you grew up? BG: No, I left when I was about three years old. I moved to Missouri, my dad and mother were school teachers. And my dad farmed then, on a farm. LG: And so what was it like growing up on a farm? BG: It was hard work, but I liked to farm. LG: Did you have any siblings? BG: Yeah. LG: Brothers or sisters? BG: I had a sister. LG: A sister, what's her name? BG: Rhonda Gifford. LG: Tell me your parents' names. BG: Jessie Gifford and Andy Gifford. LG: Is there anything significant growing up on the farm, going to school, any stories that you'd like to tell us about that? BG: No, not really. My sister was a real smart person, and she's unique because I can prove it because I have her report card. She graduated from grade school and high school and college as valedictorian of her class and made all straight A's. She was in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, and I can truthfully say that she is as intelligent and wise as anybody I've ever known. And I can say that, and my daughter can tell you the same thing. LG: Well, tell me something about you going to school, what kind of grades did you get? BG: I did make three grades the first year I went to school. LG: When did you graduate from high school? BG: I graduated when I was 16 years old. LG: What high school did you graduate from? BG: Clarkton High School, Clarkton, Missouri. LG: And did you go on to college? BG: No, I took, after I got out of service, I went to college and got a degree in agriculture though. Sandra Gifford: Dad, it might be interesting to tell the story of who you were named after. BG: Named after Buell Gifford, my dad is an orphan boy, and he raised him, and I was named after him, Buell. SG: And tell that story about how he came to live with your father and mother. BG: My father's first wife died when he was young, oh, not very young, 37 years old, and my mother was a school teacher. She was only 24, 25 years old, and he was going to get married, and the guy I'd been talking about, this nephew, Buell, he lived with uncle, he just hated him, and he wanted to come and live with my dad. And my dad said, well, I referred it to my wife, and he said I can't take you in, he went home and cried all the way home. He rode a horse they said through snow about a foot deep for twelve miles ____ and back and my mother told him if he wants to live with us, you go get him and we'll raise him. And he went to Conway, Arkansas, and he became a teacher. LG: How old was Buell when he was adopted? BG: Twelve. Twelve years old. Twelve years old. LG: That's wonderful. BG: And he also, he raised an ____ who was an orphan, his dad got bit by a dog and rabies took over and killed him. LG: So at the time of the war, were you married? BG: No, I went in the service when I was 19 years old. LG: So from the time you graduated from high school, then it was three years before you went in service. Were you working on your dad's farm? BG: Yeah. And I'll tell you about the government took my dad out of two farms, they took it for landing strips for the airplanes to fly around there. LG: Well, tell us about that. BG: Well, they took our farms and they didn't take a cent in, give us any money or anything. Cut down the trees and cut down the crops, we didn't have no money or nothing. And they, we helped move, my dad had bought a tractor and he was supposed to pay for it, a John Deere tractor, and he wrote and told them he didn't have any money and they forced him to, he was going to have to pay for it. And my uncle, at that time, not many years later, he was a millionaire, and he paid that thing off for him. And my dad, my dad bought little outbuildings and farm, I mean outbuildings and a house and a farm for $150. And we moved the thing about four miles away on down the road, three bedroom house. LG: And so the government just came in and said . . . BG: They paid off later. LG: Oh, they did pay off later. BG: Yeah, but we didn't have any money then. LG: And how long did they use it for a landing strip? BG: It's still there. LG: A landing strip? BG: No, it's an emergency landing strip. LG: Did they have a name for this landing strip? BG: No, its just Marlin, Missouri. The field was in Marlin, about ten miles away. LG: Tell me, were you drafted or did you enlist? BG: Well, I was drafted. LG: Tell me the story about getting drafted. BG: Well my dad was real bad off at that time because he worked off the farm and you know he didn't have anybody to help him, and I got deferred for a few months and then they just said they had to have somebody, had no options, had to take everybody almost. And I was drafted then. LG: When was that? BG: That was like I said, in October, no, not '46, '43 or '42, I'm not positive. LG: 1942. BG: Yeah. LG: So what happened, so you were deferred for a couple of months and then did you go to basic? BG: Yeah, I took basic training, went to Camp Fannin, Texas. LG: Tell me about basic training. BG: Well, it was seventeen weeks of infantry training, firing machine guns, mortars, and all like that. LG: What was the, where did you stay, what were the barracks like? BG: They were good barracks. LG: Do you remember anything specific about them? BG: Just a lot of beds in there. LG: What was the food like? BG: Food was good. They always, they served 20,000 people in one mess hall in four sections, and it was real good. I mean you could, you'd, everything was washed and cleaned everyday, I mean after they eat, and mopped the floors and all like that. LG: What were these days like? I mean you could come from a farm and now you're in the army, you're in the service, what was that like? BG: Well, it was pretty good. I met a lot of guys there. I slept with a guy one time, I said, it was an older guy, I said, “what did you do before you went in?” he said, “Hi, my name's Tom. You ever see Tom's Peanuts, that's me.” [Tom Huston Peanut Company, based in Columbus, Georgia] He owned that place. And I made friends with a guy that was in Texas, he was older than me quite a bit, he owned a big herd of cattle there and I made friends pretty well. LG: What were the instructors like? BG: They were pretty good. LG: Do you remember any instructors? BG: Well, I remember one of them, he was a little old sergeant, not a sergeant, a corporal. He said I was doing something bad, infraction, I didn't do it right, _________. I didn't like that, but I learned to overlook that, you know. LG: After Camp Fannin, Texas, where did you go? BG: I went to Camp Stoneman near Richmond, California. LG: And what were you doing there? BG: I was getting ready to go overseas. I got a ship, a brand new ship, we went to the Hawaiian islands unescorted. LG: Well, now tell me, you are in the army, what group were you with? BG: The 96th Infantry Division. LG: And what was your infantry training, what were they teaching you? BG: How to shoot and how to bayonet and karate and how to fire machine guns and how to survive and anything you can think of. LG: Was there anything in your training that particularly stood out? BG: Well, I'll tell you, everything they did was good. You had to learn a lot of things yourself. If you, the way they taught me, I thought just lying the beach and you'd be dead in one hour, but if you use your head, you can survive, but if you don't you aren't going to last. I went through the war, never got a scratch, never got wounded or nothing. LG: Well, that's just wonderful. You left California, you said you went on an unescorted boat to Hawaii. BG: Took six weeks of jungle training. LG: In Hawaii. BG: Yeah. LG: What was that like? BG: Well, it was a jungle there. We had a mock landing on Maui, it's a big island there. And you, of course, did not give anybody any information. If they asked what outfit, a lot of people giving, they get lost, don't give them any information. There was one guy, he asked me one time, he got lost and he was an officer, said “what outfit is this?” I said “It's company X, what the devil do you care.” He didn't like that and he went and talked to the company commander and said, “ ___ that guy over there, you been telling him to keep quiet?” _____. He didn't like it though. LG: After Hawaii where did you go? BG: We went to ____ island on Yap Island and sent some spies in there and the Japanese had left. We waited and fought there, went island hopping to get to Japan so we didn't know what to do, and they went to the Altamonte islands, just right below the equator, 2 degrees below the, closest place on earth near the sun and stayed there for two weeks and planned to land in Leyte in the Philippines and MacArthur . . . LG: So you were supporting General MacArthur? BG: Yeah. LG: Did you see combat? BG: Oh, yeah. LG: Tell me about combat. COUNTER 136 BG: Well, when we went in, there was quite an experience. They told us to drop your full packs and we'll bring them on up to you tonight. Well, they didn't know there was this jungle and it rained all night and they couldn't do it, and we didn't have any food. Well, we didn't have any for five days really. Five days, that's the only time I ever didn't have any food, and they dropped it, parachuted it in and they'd just give you a big spoonful and that was it. I know one time, when I was getting there, I was traveling for the five days, we ate some field corn, just raw, you know, you're hungry, you can… and we had just a canteen of water. And when it was gone, we had to dip it out of the mud and that stuff _____ had ____ on top of it, you'd pull it unpurified with the worms and everything. But it was pure you know. LG: What was your job, what was your assignment? BG: Well, when I went in, I was a Browning automatic rifleman in combat. And that's kind of like a machine gun that fires twenty clips, just pull the trigger and had a ____ full of stuff like that. And that's where I got this silver star here, right here. LG: It shows in that picture? BG: Yeah. LG: When did you get this silver star? BG: It don't tell on there, I don't know. It's in '43. LG: 1943? BG: They've got this wrong, got 383rd Infantry, it was 382nd. LG: We have a copy of this? BG: Yes. I got that for, I, two Jap machine guns trapped a battalion and they couldn't move and I was the only one had something to stop them all and I killed those Jap machine gunners and we, one of the guys in the pictures right here was my, right here, was my weapon carrier. ____ ammunition and there was bullets going all around and they couldn't get him up there, he was scared to death,, he finally got over it though. COUNTER 170 LG: I see five people in the picture, are you in that picture? BG: I'm that tallest one in the middle. LG: And then, so who are the other guys? BG: A guy beside of me, he was the one that weapon carrier, and this one on the end was a sergeant too, and he's the one I named my son after. LG: What's his name? BG: Deville, Sergeant Deville. And this one on the left is ____, hunted for me for fifty-eight years, he had nightmares about the war. We fought together and dug in the foxholes. LG: Would this be a good time to tell us that story, tell us the story about the fellow searching for you? BG: Well, that was the end of that. LG: You've talked about him, just go on and tell us the story. BG: You don't want to talk about it but I'll go back… LG: We'll get back to it. [All talking at once.] BG: He had been searching for me for fifty-eight years and he couldn't find me and he… LG: He, say his name again. BG: Lavoyt Hale. LG: Lavoyt Hale. BG: Tuscaloosa, Alabama. LG: So Mr. Hale was looking for you. BG: And the funny part about it is, my best friend, one of my best friends, went out to eat that day and we was talking about him. He liked to drown in the water, he was a little guy. I told him “____.” I was kidding, you know. And he remembered that, and two hours later he called me, he says he bought his wife a computer, he didn't know nothing about it. And one of his friends said you can find anybody you want to on the computer. In fifteen minutes he found it. And he called me up and said “Did you,” said, “did you fight in World War II in the 96th Division?” I said “yeah” and he told me 382nd Regiment and all that bit. He told me his name and I knew that was him. And he was tickled to death, he had all them nightmares. LG: What kind of nightmares? BG: Well, about the war. But one thing about me that's unique I've never dreamed about anything, I could watch a movie or anything, never dream about it, never, never. LG: Well, you have a newspaper in front of you, what's that, why have you got the newspaper? BG: Well, it was an article was in here. SG: About your reunion. BG: Yeah, fifty-eight years, where is that? LG: With Mr. Hale? BG: Yeah, right down here. And this part, about fifty-eight years. Open it up. SG: The article came out on the anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, and this is my father's piece. BG: Show it down inside there. SG: Also inside… BG: Fifty-eight years. SG: Reunion after 58 years. Veteran… BG: This is me right here. SG: That's in front of his house. LG: What is the date of the paper, and what paper are we looking at? SG: This is the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Friday, June sixth, 2003. BG: And this is a picture there in Tuscaloosa. SG: At his house. LG: So who's in the picture, is that you in the middle? BG: Yeah. LG: And Mr. Hale… BG: Yeah, and that's my daughter over there. LG: That's a wonderful story, a wonderful story. And the wonders of computers. That was a great story, let's go back to the war. BG: OK. LG: You're in combat in the Philippines? BG: Yes. I got that picture you made right there, I got that, a big parade and there was a bunch of people that was given awards, and before we went to Okinawa. We went to… LG: Did you see any casualties? BG: What's that? LG: Did you see any casualties? BG: Man, have I seen casualties, there were thousands of them, thousands of them. LG: What was that like? BG: Horrible. The one thing that I found out, and I want to emphasize it, but a lot of volunteers, some people don't need to be in service, they haven't got the smarts up here. And again, some of them as officers. One of them, when I first went in, he was a sergeant, I'll never forget it. We hadn't went in very far ___ a little hut, and there was three people there, a man and a woman and a young girl, and this guy, friend of mine, said “What do you want to do with this little man?” And this sergeant told him, said, “Get rid of him. Don't you know better, use a bayonet.” He just took a bayonet and run it through him like that. I'll never forget it, the blood just gushed like that. And that guy, he never forgot that, he never did. And then another time, and it was a sergeant that did that, ___ it was an older woman carrying some clothes on her head, and she, he killed that, just shot her because his buddy got killed. He had nothing to do with it. And another time, a different story about this guy was a colonel, I know I was right by a foxhole when he was calling back behind the lines telling them to take that hill up there. He sent three squads out, one squad killed everyone of the, second killed everyone, and third one killed every one of them. And he said, “This general back behind the line said you've got to take that hill at all costs.” He said, “I'm not taking this hill at all costs, it's a suicide, and you can court martial if you want to but I'm not taking it,” and he didn't. They didn't do nothing with him either. But there was a lot of people that's just not fit to be in service. SG: Tell about the man you knew who was supposed to stand guard. BG: Oh, it was a friend of mine that was supposed to stand guard, he was a designer for Ford Motor Company, he was a very brilliant person. LG: Do you remember his name? BG: No, I don't. But he was supposed to be guarding the 8th Army headquarters. We'd been back in a rest area for a while. And he was, it had an outdoor theater, and he went over to look at that and they called him over there. The guards, I mean somebody checked on him and they gave him a court martial, gave him 99 years in the stockade. Nice guy. But I'm sure he didn't serve it all, they do that as an example. When the war is over, it's all over, you know. But they can, there was three, I know there was one four-star general and two three-star generals that he was guarding there. LG: Are there any other memorable experiences? BG: Well, on Okinawa, one time we was digging in on a hill on this, ____ he wanted to dig in holes with me when three of us would dig in, stand guard, and he wanted to dig up on a hill there, and I said “No, the artillery will get us.” And I finally talked him into down below a little bit. And that night, when we was digging, the artillery settled it, right in there, covered us up with dirt. If we'd have been there, it'd have killed all three of us. In fact, we got out of there and I was talking to them on the way back. I said “What happened to the third guy?” He said, “He's probably still covered up. I don't remember what happened to him.” _______. And also they, we got up to the end of the island and they started firing these rockets, flying boxcars called the screaming ____, its like a siren, it's honestly as big as a boxcar coming in the air projected like that. And you could outrun them because they'd just come over and you could run off to the side. But I've got a picture of that, where's that at? SG: This explosion maybe? BG: No, no, no. SG: I'm not sure what you're describing. BG: There's a hole, it's a horrible hole. Well, it don't make any difference. SG: The picture with the hole… LG: Are any of these pictures that you want to show us? SG: You can just go through it and you might just see the one picture. BG: Well, here's one. The Philippines were some casualties, some of them blowed right up in two. LG: That photo that you're showing us, the Philippines. BG: Yeah, that's the Philippines. Here's ___ on Okinawa, we lost about 13,000 people there in our division. We had a general that was killed. LG: Do you remember the general's name? BG: Easley, a one star general. We got a picture of that ____ right here, they had a ceremony there, right on Okinawa. LG: And that's when he had died, this is the ceremony. BG: Yeah. And here's one of MacArthur signing the peace treaty on the battleship Missouri with the Japanese. LG: Were you on the… a picture you took. BG: No, I got this from a war correspondent. This right here is a Filipino, and that's a Jap ____ right there. The Jap had him to climb a coconut tree and when he was drinking the coconut, he took a machete and cut his head off. LG: And is that a picture you took? BG: No. Here's, I don't know whether you want to show that or not. Here's one right here that I, I don't know do we want to do it detailed. I was, this is an uncle I never seen, he was a real intelligent person, he had a Ph.D. in history I think. And I wrote this on April 18, 1945, and I never mailed it. I didn't know it that I had a box that I kept my papers in, and _____ I looked in there, and I never, I hadn't mailed it. And what I figured out, there was an artillery ___ in back and I said “call it a day” and I never mailed it. And that was wrote on April 18, 1945. SG: Why don't you read that last paragraph, or do you want me to read it. BG: Yeah, you read it. SG: It says… LG: I want to ____ show you while you read it. SG: I'll read the last portion of it. “The soil is pretty rich here. They grow a lot of cabbage, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, carrots, and all sorts of vegetables. We've been getting a lot better food here than we did in the Philippines. They have different kinds of foods in the rations that we get than we used to have. The boys all like the new type of rations. We have had donuts several times here also. I sure don't see how Germany can hold out over two more weeks. They sure are getting close to Berlin. There is some Japanese mortar shells landing pretty close now so I guess I'd better get in my foxhole and call it a day. As ever was.” BG: Just recently, about two or three months ago, I opened that box up and seen that. LG: Thank you for that. Did you stay in touch with your family? Did you write many letters home? BG: Oh, yeah, that's one of my most important things for soldiers. People who don't even know anybody, if they want to do something for somebody, I've never seen anybody who was so depressed when they have mail call because it would be a month before you'd get any mail and you wouldn't have any. You know, somebody'd get a bunch of mail and they didn't get any. I wrote everybody I knew, my uncles and aunts and they kept all the letters I wrote. That's really important, though. LG: You mentioned at one point that there was five days you went without any food. Otherwise, did you have plenty of supplies? BG: The supplies, ____ they couldn't get it up to us but they finally parachuted it in. LG: What about the rest of the… BG: I did alright. And you know, tin cans, but I didn't get sick or nothing. SG: Tell about the time a friend got chocolates in the mail. BG: Oh, one guy got some chocolates on Okinawa and they had worms in it and he was going to throw it away. I told ____, I says, “Don't throw it away.” Said I'll eat it. And he did too. LG: Worms and all. What did you all do to sort of entertain yourselves? BG: Well, when we'd get back in a rest area, they had put up outdoor screens, thousands of them, would be setting out watching. And one time, Yokohama back in the rest area, they had that ____ down below and sitting up on the hillside seeing it. And it was pretty good, but entertainment had a lot of people come through, a lot of celebrities even. LG: Any celebrities that you remember seeing? BG: Yeah, I seen, well I took basic training with Red Skelton. LG: Oh, okay. BG: And I seen, I can't recall, but I seen some of them in California. But I know one thing I found out later that they'd been ___ planning on after we went… another thing, now, this is kind of interesting. The black and whites were separated in World War II, and we, when the war was over, we got on, I got the ship to come back on Christmas Eve Day in 1945 and they put all the sergeants in one place and all the privates in another. Because they had a lot of animosity, they'd kill them, you know. LG: And you were a sergeant? BG: Yeah. And they had the blacks with us, but I made friends with a black guy. He was a tech, I mean he was a 1st sergeant. And I never will forget when I was discharged in Jefferson's Barracks, Missouri, I was left there one night and he was taking me, I was riding in a cab, and two policemen stopped us and grabbed him and slammed him up against the, he had a uniform on too, and searched him, and I didn't know what was going on. Found out, I guess we got a lot of mustering out pay, cash about $400 around him, but they didn't bother me, but I thought that was a bad thing to do, to treat him like that you know. But I know one thing about the, what happened was going to happen, we was getting ready to go away to Japan when they dropped the atomic bomb, and they had three hundred of these big shells that would knock a hole, man, that's one hundred foot deep.aAnd they were going to use them on the Americans, and they had _____. They claimed the first day we'd lose a million people, gosh, a million people. ____ everybody that could ____ Japanese did, so that bomb saved a lot of lives, it killed a lot of people, but it saved a lot of lives. LG: What, when you heard that the bomb had been dropped, where were you? BG: I was on a boat going to M___ Island. LG: And what was the reaction of people on the boat? BG: Nothing. The reason why was the guy from Louisiana, he was a big windbag and he's telling how powerful that, bulletin board, he told how much powerful it was and TNT and all that, went yeah, yeah, yeah.

During college, she took civilian pilot training. She relates that by 1943, the country was desperate for pilots and developed a program for women pilots to fly stateside. She describes their training and that they had no uniforms but men's coveralls in sizes 42 and 44. They were issued two of them, and had to wash one in the shower and wear the other one while the first one dried. They purchased white shirts and tan pants in the dry goods store in town as a \"Sunday uniform.\" They ferried new planes from the factories to the bases or to ports of embarkation, where the planes would be taken apart to be shipped overseas. Often she was on \"detached orders\" which meant she picked up the plane from the manufacturers; the first twenty minutes of the flight was the test flight. If she had a problem, she could bring the plane back. She only had to do that once, when the plane caught fire on the runway. She describes her husband, whom she'd known from her youth. He was a Marine Corps pilot who had been badly burned in a plane crash; she wrote to him regularly for the year and a half that he was in the hospital. She sometimes landed illegally in Richmond, Virginia, so she could visit him in the hospital in Norfolk. She tells the story of his crash: he was attempting a night flight technique that was to be used in the Pacific when another plane took off in front of him. She also recalls landing in Athens, Georgia, to visit her family and having her mother run out onto the runway to see her. She recalls a harrowing take-off from New York City as a passenger in a DC-3 when both engines failed. She reports that WASPs flew every aircraft in the Army Air Corps arsenal. WASPs were used to fly B-29s around the country to show how easy they were to fly; B-29s had acquired a reputation of being difficult to fly and pilots were balking at flying them. One of her roommates purchased a P-38 at the end of the war. She recalls that when their fellow WASPs were killed, they had to take up collections to have their bodies flown home because they were considered civilians and had no military benefits. The dead had no flag on their coffins, and no gold star hung in their parents' windows. It took thirty years to get that recognition. She describes her husband's career after the war. She describes the book she wrote, \"Winning My Wings.\" She also discusses her father's career at the University of Georgia.","Marion Hodgson served as a Women Airforce Service Pilot (WASP) in World War II.","MARION STEGEMAN HODGSON VETERANS HISTORY INTERVIEW Atlanta History Center Interviewer: Hap Chandler Transcriber: Stephanie McKinnell HAP CHANDLER: My name is Hap Chandler, and I have the privilege to interview Marion Stegeman Hodgson. Marion, why don't you introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about… MARION HODGSON: Well, I'm a native of Georgia, and I went to the University of Georgia, and my senior year was 1941, the year of Pearl Harbor. I think Roosevelt knew we were going to get in the war because he was trying to build up a big force of civilian pilots. And he introduced the civilian pilot training program, and University of Georgia had that to train pilots, and I was lucky enough to be one of the women selected at the only time they offered it to women, one woman for every ten men, five of us were selected to learn to fly on the CPT course. Five out of twenty who applied I believe it was. And, of course, we didn't know Pearl Harbor was going to happen, but we got our private licenses at the end of that course and got five hours college credit to boot. And then December 7th, along came Pearl Harbor, and by 1943, Uncle Sam was really desperate for pilots, and so desperate that they were scraping the bottom of the barrel and decided to use women for stateside duty and release the men to go overseas. So I was one of the ones that was selected by Jacquelyn Cochran to take training, air force training. I think about 2000 of us, I use rough numbers, I don't know the exact numbers, but about 2000 of us entered training for the WASPs, and it was a six-month program when I went through. And later it was increased to seven months. HC: Where did you take your training? MH: At Sweetwater, Texas, out where the rattlesnake rattles and the buzzard builds its nests. HC: It was kind of warm… MH: It got pretty warm in the summertime, triple digits most of the time. HC: What sort of uniforms did they… MH: Had no uniform at all except what we call zoot suits when I first went to Sweetwater. Those were mechanics coveralls made for men, and they came in two sizes, 42 and 44, so we had to cinch the belt around us several times and roll up the pant legs. I didn't have to because I'm so tall but it was way too big. But the girls that had to roll up the pant legs and the sleeves had a hard time looking military because the crotch of the uniform was down around their knees. We were not a very spiffy looking group. We were issued two of those, and we got in the shower with a scrubbing brush and bar of soap and washed down one suit while the other one was dry enough to put on, and we would swap them back and forth that way. That's what we lived in for six months. HC: ____ uniform? MH: No uniform at all. HC: ____ changed ____… MH: We went down to the dry goods store in Sweetwater and bought tan slacks and white shirts and tan overseas caps for our Sunday uniform, and that was as military as we could look. And of course shoes were rationed. You only got two pair of shoes a year, and you had to tear out a coupon out of your ration book to get that. And so our shoes were any size, color, or shape that we could get for one of our coupons, and they didn't last very long, and we marched in them, so we had to get them half-soled and make do with two pairs a year, which is not easy when you're drilling. HC: Did you receive your wings in Sweetwater after six months? MH: Six months in my case. HC: You were sent then where? MH: I was sent to the Ferry Command, the 5th Ferrying Group at Love Field in Dallas, Air Transport Command. And it was heaven after Sweetwater. HC: What duties did you have? MH: In the Ferry Command, we would go to the factories and pick up new airplanes usually and ferry them to bases all around the country and lots of them were ferried to Fort Dix, New Jersey, or other points of embarkation where the planes were taken apart and put on ships and sent overseas and then put back together when they got overseas. But sometimes we ferried old airplanes from base to base, or just wherever we were needed. Of course the WASP did a lot more than just ferry planes, that just happened to be my job. HC: You were in an organization referred to as the WASP, and the WASP means what? MH: Women Airforce Service Pilots. HC: And of the 2000 of them who applied, how many completed training? MH: Well more than that applied, actually 25,000 people applied, but that's sort of a misstatement because you had to be, had to have a private license, private pilot's license. By the time I came along, it had to be a lot more than that. In the beginning you had to have hundreds of hours to qualify for training, but by the time March 1943 came along, they reduced it down to a private pilot's license, and there were not 25,000 licensed pilots, women pilots, there were only about 3000, roughly 3000, a few more than that, women pilots. So 25,000 people applied but that didn't mean they were qualified to apply. But anyway, 2000 were accepted for training, and of that number, a little more than 1000 of us made it through, got our wings. HC: Highly selective process? MH: Yeah, it was. HC: Of those, _____ that rate was about fifty percent. MH: Not quite that high, more than one third washed out. HC: Of course, in World War II, _____ women's pilot training. I recall how disappointed some of my classmates were who were in navigation school and they washed out very quickly into the program. MH: Yeah, it was heartbreaking, you felt like your whole life was ruined. HC: You went back to the army, they would give an infantry soldier _____. So you're in Love Field in Dallas. MH: I actually spent a lot of time in Wichita, Kansas on what they called detached orders, which means I would report back there after I delivered a plane instead of reporting back to Love Field because there were three aircraft factories in Love Field. There was the Beechcraft Factory, Boeing factory, and the Cessna factory. HC: You would pick up the aircraft off the assembly line and take them to the nearest field? MH: Right. The first twenty minutes or so of your flight was considered a check, I mean a test flight. Actually they had been test flown by the factory but when we would pick them up, we would fly them the first twenty or thirty minutes of our route was considered a test flight and if something didn't seem right or didn't sound right, we would turn around and take it back. But I never had to do that except in one case when an AT-6 caught on fire with me, but I was still on the ground at the North American factory in Dallas. And I couldn't put it out, we were told to jam the throttle forward and it would blow the flames out, but when I jammed the throttle forward, the flames just got higher, and by the time they were coming out of the cockpit, I was out of there. But two mechanics with fire extinguishers were standing nearby, and one of them hopped in the cockpit and between the two of them, with the fire extinguisher, they got the fire out. But I always felt like a coward getting out of the cockpit, but I felt that thing was about to blow. HC: Better a live coward than a dead hero. MH: Thank goodness they're still alive too, or were when I saw them. COUNTER 085 HC: Well, through most of '43 and then 1944 came along, I knew that you had an interest in a marine pilot who was in the hospital, would you like to tell us a little bit about that? MH: Well he was a boy from my hometown, Athens, GA. Our families knew each other, and we knew each other, but he was eight years older, so there had never been any romance or anything. But I admired him, always had, he was a wonderful person. So when he crashed and burned and was not expected to live, I wrote to him everyday to keep his spirits up. And we wrote back and forth, he was in the hospital a year and a half and we wrote back and forth, and my letters took him all the way through my training and my Ferry Command experience, and we sort of fell in love through our letters. And course meanwhile I had managed to make a few illegal landings in Norfolk, Virginia, because he was in the, I mean in Richmond, VA, at the army airfield there, which was closed to Ferry traffic, but I'd take a chance and land there anyway and get on a ferry boat and go over to Norfolk where he was in the navy hospital. And we had our dates that way, illegally, so we just really had a very few dates before we decided to get married. You moved fast in World War II, cause you didn't know if you were going to be alive the next month or not. HC: That's right. He was ________. MH: Right, he was later promoted to Lt. Colonel. But he was perfecting a night landing technique that he was going to take over into the Pacific. He was with the 1st marine night fighter group that went over to the Pacific, but he didn't make it because he crashed just before they were due to leave. But he was trying to perfect the night landing technique and as he was coming in to land with no lights, and simulating a night, the conditions that he would find in the south Pacific, a bomber took off right in his path, and the tower either didn't see it or didn't warn him or something, anyway they collided. Fortunately nobody in the bomber was hurt, but he was critically injured and burned, horribly burned. But he had such a wonderful spirit about it all and stayed so upbeat with the whole thing that that was one thing that made me fall in love with him. HC: He had his WASP flying into Richmond. MH: Not very often, I think I only got there twice. HC: That must have been a real morale booster. And your friend in the WASP went on to some other airplanes. MH: Yeah, the WASP flew every fighter and every bomber in the air corps arsenal, course it was the army air corps, army air forces in those days. But we, they, the WASP, not I, flew everything in the arsenal, all the bombers and all the fighters, including the B-29. One of my roommates, not roommates, classmates, bought a P-38 at the end of the war. HC: Did she fly it? MH: She flew it, but she couldn't afford to keep it. It was such a gas guzzler, and hangar space was so expensive, and maintenance and so on, and nobody had any money in those days. So she had to let it go, but think what that would be worth now. HC: I recall I was in _____ we were out on a _____ mission which meant that somebody was towing a target and gunners would take potshots at them with .50 caliber ammunition. _____ technically it was a B-26, which was a red hot airplane as you recall. Sometimes called the widow maker. And after the mission was over, the B-26 came and landed. And this little bitty girl, very attractive I might add, got out of the airplane, and all the four-engine bomber pilots, instead of whistling at her as they expected, they stood around, why do those girls get to fly those hot airplanes and we've got these four engine props to fly. MH: Tough luck guys. HC: I understand that Colonel Paul Tibbetts trained some of your… MH: Two of them. HC: ______. MH: Yeah, Paul Tibbetts trained two WASPs to fly the B-29, in two days. He checked them out in the B-29, and they went around the country to demonstrate how easy it was to fly because it had a horrible reputation of catching on fire on the take off, and the chief test pilot at Boeing had been killed in it. And the men were balking at flying it. So Paul Tibbetts, actually Hap Arnold, General Arnold was the one that had the idea, but he got Paul Tibbetts to execute it, to have the women demonstrate how easy it was to fly. And sure enough, that shamed the men back into the cockpit, they never had another man refuse to fly it. HC: When you reflect back on those days, do you have an outstanding experience that comes to mind? MH: Well, not when I was flying it, but when I was on an airliner taking off over New York City, the airliners were mostly DC-3's in those days, as you know. And we were taking off from LaGuardia field in New York City and lost both engines on the take off in the DC-3. That's the thing I remember most, that and the AT-6 that caught on fire with me. I guess you remember the excitement and not the long boring hours. But anyway, somehow the angels held us up and we got back in the field. We broke every rule in the book, you're never supposed to turn toward the dead engine, and one engine went out first and he turned towards that engine. The plane was full of nothing but Ferry pilots, one other WASP and myself, and all the rest were men Ferry pilots. And everybody screamed when the pilot turned toward the dead engine, but he got away with it. And they say never turn back to the airport, and he turned back to the airport, and he got away with it and got us down. Just barely cleared the high-tension wires, ____ of course, and then as we got to, almost to the ground, he let the wheels down and we didn't roll that far. He was 26 years old, I think, 24 or 26, the captain. HC: On a page, some of our people go to high schools and colleges and talk about their war experiences, and one of the impressions that we get from children is they didn't realize how young we were in those days. MH: I tell them I was not always an old lady. HC: You lost some of your WASP friends. MH: 38. 38 WASPs were killed. HC: And they crashed _____. MH: Right. HC: Would you like to talk about some of these? MH: Well, the sad part was that there was no provision to send the bodies home. And we had to take up a collection to send the bodies home to the families and sit up all night in the boxcar with the coffin. And it was awful cold in the winter, I didn't ever have to do it. But I was told how cold it was in the winter and how hot it was in the summer to have that duty. And then when the girls got home with the body of the deceased, there was no, they were not allowed to put a flag on the coffin, and were not allowed to put a gold star in the window because we were still civil service employees and not really part of the air force at that point. Now thirty years later, by an act of Congress, we were made retroactively members of the army air forces or the US air force is the way my honorable discharge reads. And so they corrected that thirty years later, but it didn't do us any good at the time. We didn't have any money to bury the dead, not to bury the dead but to get the body home. COUNTER 180 HC: You were not accorded ____ benefits. MH: No, we didn't have any insurance and of course we made less than the men, but this was in the forties and we really didn't expect to be treated equally. We just felt lucky to be there at all and to be given that chance to fly those big beautiful airplanes. HC: Isn't it amazing how the country came together after Pearl Harbor? MH: Just amazing, and I've never seen it like that since. We were all pulling together, and everybody was patriotic, and gosh, if anybody hadn't been patriotic, I think they would have been lynched real quick. But it was amazing how the whole country pulled in the same direction and cooperated. Course we had been attacked and we knew what we were fighting for. So it was different, but I would love to see that same spirit of cooperation now. I don't think we'll ever see it again, the way things were going. HC: We knew who the bad guys were. MH: Yeah, it was clear cut. HC: ____ what sort of world we had today, had Hitler tried it, or the Japanese. World War II was ____ in the history of this country. We were privileged to… MH: It really was a privilege. In fact I… I'm still so patriotic that I cry every time the flag goes by and when I pledge allegiance I get a lump in my throat, and now the Supreme Court is considering whether to take “under God” out of it. Boy howdy. HC: It's a strange new world. On the other hand, women have been afforded opportunities that you never dreamed of. MH: True. HC: In the forties. For instance, as an astronaut. An astronaut which follows ______. MH: Is that right? HC: It's not unusual for women pilots to be flying any type of airplane, but their rank. What the problem is, when you sit in the left seat, you're the boss. MH: That do create a problem. HC: So men on the crew have contentions with that. MH: Like their mother speaking to them, they don't like it. HC: Did you get back home at all during this period? MH: I made some illegal landings in Athens. I remember one time my mother came rushing, I had called ahead and told her I was on my way from Atlanta, and so I could see her car coming out to Epps Field in Athens, and by the time I landed, she was already there, and before I could get the engine shut down, she started running straight toward the propeller, scared me to death, I thought I was going to decapitate my own mother. But I got it shut down before she did, but it was nip and tuck there for a while. But yes, I landed, I wasn't supposed to land at Richmond and I did, and I didn't get caught thank goodness. And I wasn't supposed to land at Athens and I did and didn't get caught. HC: Statute of limitations is up. MH: Right, I can say it now. HC: I had the privilege of reading the book you put together in regards to your World War II experiences, and also… MH: Ta-da. HC: Yes. The title is Winning my Wings. MH: There it is. HC: There it is. Tell us a little bit about it. MH: Well, it took me fifty years to write it for one thing. I started writing it when I first got out of the WASP, while everything was fresh in my mind, thank goodness, because I could never have written the flying scenes, I wouldn't have been able to remember all the details of the cockpit checks and things like that. Anyway, nobody was interested in World War II things right after World War II. Everybody wanted to return to normal just as fast as possible and get back to normal living. So I tried writing short stories about this, I had some good luck selling short stories in those days. There was a good short story market, but not for World War II stories, so they didn't want that. And I tried writing it as a fictional book and had no luck with that. And they just weren't, the market wasn't right, but now all of the sudden, the market is right, and the market is hot. So I've had really good success with this, it went through two printings with the Naval Institute Press as the publisher. And now I'm selling it myself, and it's had some inquiries from Hollywood, which I'm excited about. HC: They're making it into a movie? MH: I hope they do to, before I die. HC: It's got all the… MH: Ingredients? HC: Ingredients, thank you. I've just thought of the lady's name that introduced the bill that gave veteran's benefits to the WASP. Her name was Boggs. MH: Boggs, Lindy Boggs. HC: And her daughter is Cokie Roberts. MH: Right. Cokie Roberts quotes a lot of my book in her book, I mean a lot of my letters in her book. HC: Oh, really. MH: Uh huh. HC: How interesting. MH: In fact, Cokie's book came out before mine did, so I had to tell my publisher that I had given my permission to use those letters, it didn't create any problem, just a little bit of overlap. HC: I have not read Cokie Roberts' book. MH: It's good. I'll lend you my copy. HC: Well as the story goes along, pilots starting to come back from overseas, and they started to close flying schools, which meant that pilot flying instructors as civilians were subject to the draft, and _____. MH: They didn't like that. And they didn't want to get in the marching army. So they resented the fact that women had taken up the cockpits and they didn't have anywhere to go except to be drafted. So they started lobbying Congress to get us out of there, and they did. HC: General Arnold, I understand fought it, he lost that particular battle… MH: Won the war but lost the battle. HC: So you left the WASP when? MH: In June of 1944. HC: Then what happened? MH: I got married. HC: Married your Marine. MH: Right. HC: Who was in the states in where, Texas? MH: He was the executive officer at the Marine Corps air station outside of Fort Worth. We were stationed there for a year and then went out to Miramar, California, until V-J Day. But the WASP stayed on duty until December of '44. But since they didn't need us anymore, and they were raising such cain about us, I resigned in June of '44 so I could marry my, the love of my life. HC: And did he get out of the Marine Corps? MH: He was retired physically. But he served, he actually got back on flight status but not to go overseas, I think they call it class 2 pilot or something like that. But he got back where he could fly again. He recovered really well and stayed on duty until V-J day and then they retired him because they knew he'd never be able to do combat with his burned legs, got a stiff ankle out of the deal so he couldn't go back to flying for the airlines, which is what he had done before he went into the Marines. Well actually he went in the Marine Corps and then he got out and went flying for Eastern airlines and then Pearl Harbor came along and he was called back into the Marine Corps. He was in the reserves. HC: Well he was a pilot early on. MH: Yeah, one of the early pilots. HC: So now we're at V-J day, you're happily married, your husband is out of the Marine Corps, then what. MH: Then he went back to work for Eastern airlines but they told him he could never fly as captain and that if would be satisfied to remain a co-pilot, they'd take him back as a pilot, but to understand that with his stiff ankle, they didn't think he could handle the plane in an emergency. And so they gave him a job on the ground as an aircraft dispatcher. And he could hardly stand that with all his friends up in the sky. It was hard, and it was also shift work, which made it hard. But I could keep his schedule. I mean I might eat breakfast at midnight, but whatever his schedule was, I kept the same thing, until I got pregnant, and then I couldn't keep his schedule anymore, I had to keep the baby's schedule. So that was when he decided that it was time to change, and we got an opportunity to move to Texas and start an insurance company, life insurance company. And he took it, and so we lived there for more than fifty years, until he died. HC: He finally became ______. MH: It was just a small company, but it did quite well. HC: I believe you told me your first child was born in Piedmont Hospital here in Atlanta. MH: Right. We were living in Hapeville out near the airport because he was working at Eastern airlines, and he would go back and forth on his bicycle from Hapeville, he needed to keep exercising those legs that had been so badly burned. It was sort of like Vance [Lance Armstrong], what's his name. HC: Did you do any flying, serious flying you know, after the WASPs. MH: I haven't flown for sixty years. HC: Think you're ready to get back in the cockpit? MH: If this becomes a movie, and I get enough money, I'm buying me an airplane. HC: Good for you, I'll go for a ride with you. MH: If you're brave enough. HC: I had an experience over ____ field, Alabama, several years ago, over to the graduation of air command. A staff pilot, and I was with George Capers, a ___ naval hero, and some of us, we all had on our little medals that you wear, and this cute little major came over, a pilot, and she said what are all these for. So I think I told her combat story or two, and she said well can I hug you. I said of course. I said what are you going to do when you get out of the command staff pilot? Said I'm going to Travis Air Force base on the aircraft commander of a C-141. I was born about thirty years too soon, or I could have been the navigator. A whole different world out there. MH: It sure is. HC: Well, you've written a book, and two sons. MH: Two sons and a daughter. HC: You have five grandchildren. MH: Six grandchildren and a great grandchild to be born next month. HC: Fantastic. And you came all the way from Wichita Falls, Texas, to talk today to a Silver Wings group, and this _____ considerably sold a few books, so the questions were right interesting. MH: They were. HC: I've forgotten what they asked, do you remember any questions. Did any of them particular excite you. MH: I was surprised nobody asked me what type planes I flew or, what was the other thing they always ask me, how many hours I had. Nobody there asked me either question, and I was surprised because that's usually the first two questions that pilots ask me and I'm always embarrassed to answer because I didn't fly the big bombers or the fast fighters, I just ferried single and twin engine airplanes, but they were big enough and fast enough for me. I'm not sure my reflexes would have been fast enough to handle P-51 or… HC: You'd have been surprised I think. How many hours did you get. MH: About 500. HC: About 500. You know that's the number I had when I left the Air Corps, of which 265 as I recall correctly were combat hours. MH: Wow. Your hours were a little bit harder to come by than mine were. HC: Some of them were not fun and games, though. Tomorrow I'll be telling my story to the World War II Roundtable. Just as a matter of interest, Marion's father was a ____ figure at the University of Georgia, why don't you tell us a little bit about him. MH: Well, he was such a wonderful man. He was such a wonderful father and such a wonderful family man, wonderful husband, that I don't even think about his career until somebody like you asks me. But he had coached everything, football, basketball, baseball, and track at the University of Georgia, and really put the school on the map as far as athletics were concerned. When he died, he was director of athletics and dean of men. He gave up the sports he coached one at a time. All I can remember him coaching in my childhood was the basketball team and the track team. HC: ____ football ____. MH: Yeah I was, the Georgia-Yale game. 15 to nothing when they dedicated the stadium. HC: First game in Sanford Stadium. MH: First game in Sanford stadium, and Yale was expecting to clobber Georgia and instead they got clobbered. HC: Sounds like it was Miami _____. That was a great team. MH: Catfish Smith. I had a big crush on Catfish Smith. He didn't know it, I was about 12 years old I guess. HC: Athens is a wonderful place to grow up and a wonderful place to go to school. MH: I agree. HC: I'm sure that many people will share your opinion. You told me that when you went to Texas and they spoke of the university, you didn't know what they were talking about. MH: Well, ‘the university' to me meant the University of Georgia, and that was a great shock when I heard Texans talking about ‘the university' and they meant Texas. HC: Down in Austin. MH: Right. HC: Well, it was sixty years ago. MH: Let's see, got out in '44. How many years is that, it'll be sixty years next year. HC: As soon as you get the movie rights sold for your book, you'll be back in the old airplane. A great grandma. MH: I don't think the movie rights per se will get me there, but maybe the movie will. HC: And you can take your grandchildren and great grandchild. MH: Right. HC: Marion, I thank you very much for… MH: Well, you're very welcome. HC: … the History Center, and share your experiences with World War II, and we hope you'll come back often. MH: Thank you.

He was drafted in 1943 and objected to serving in the Navy because he wanted to be with his friends. His training camp was in Florida, because the Army wanted to simulate conditions of battle in the Pacific. Holland describes it as being full of snakes, alligators, and mosquitoes. They trained day and night, including calisthenics, rifle training, crawling, and digging foxholes. He remembers that it was rough to leave his wife and child and ride in a boxcar to San Francisco. He discusses a trip across the Pacific in a Matson liner to Australia and finally New Guinea. He describes New Guinea as hot and rainy; they were warned not to bathe or wash their clothing in the water. He did it anyway and contracted jungle fever. After his recovery, he was made a coxswain on an LCM (Landing Craft, Mechanized). His duties were to pick up troops from the big boat and take them to shore along with ammunition and supplies. He reports that his was the first craft on the beach at Leyte Island. He describes the first day as one he doesn't like to think about much; Japanese planes came in swarms and his later duties were to pick up the dead and wounded and take them to the hospital ship. He recalls that night as being \"as miserable a night as I've ever spent.\" Later, as he was training to invade Japan, the atomic bomb was dropped. He expressed his admiration for President Truman because he believes millions of lives were saved by his decision to use the bomb. Next, they were tasked to go to a small island because there were some Japanese who wanted to surrender. Instead, the Japanese fired on them, killing half the crew. He details the circumstances of the day, including the blood flowing in the ship, the heat and the terrible odor. He recalls that they traveled at night to avoid Japanese Zeroes, and that they used a compass to arrive at their planned destination. He remembers that the \"bullets didn't sound too good\" whizzing by his head. He had to live on bananas most of the time; they had been supplied with canned food from Australia and he wasn't able to keep it down. He would trade the canned food for bananas. They had no time off and would collect water in rain barrels on the ship for bathing. Mail from home took about two weeks to arrive. After the war ended, they congregated on Leyte Island waiting for transportation home; it took a week on an old freighter. He contracted pneumonia and spent a week in a hospital in Oakland (Calif.). He concludes the interview by stating that he has tried to forget a lot of memories, that \"to have your buddy killed right beside you, it's rough.\"","Geston Holland was in the U.S. Army in the Pacific in World War II.","GESTON D. HOLLAND WWII Oral Histories October 8, 2003 Atlanta History Center Transcribed by Joyce Dumas [Tape 1, Side A] Interviewer: This is Christine Marr at the Atlanta History Center in Atlanta, Georgia, interviewing today Geston D. Holland on the eighth day of October, two thousand three. Mr. Holland, would you please introduce yourself and tell me where you were born and your birthday. Holland: I'm Geston David Holland. I was born near Dallas, Georgia. I was born June the twenty-sixth, nineteen and sixteen. I'm eighty-seven years old. Interviewer: Thank you. Can you tell me how you came to join the U.S. Army? Holland: I was drafted. Interviewer: In what year? Holland: Nineteen and…what was it? Forty-two or forty-three? Forty-two? Three? Nineteen forty-three. Interviewer: And once you were drafted what occurred? Holland: Well, when I was drafted I went to Addison, Alabama. I took my examination. They wanted me to go in the Navy, but I didn't want the Navy. I objected, which I was sorry of many times. Interviewer: Why did you prefer the Army? Holland: Well, because I had several friends in the Army and I thought we'd be in the same outfit, which we wasn't. But I was sent down to Caraville [phonetic], Florida. Did six weeks of training out in the swamps where the alligators, rattlesnakes and mosquitoes just absolutely tortured you to death. We had some deodorant, but it didn't faze them. Six weeks later, we came back. Interviewer: What was a training day like in Florida? What did you train to do? Holland: Trained to go to the Pacific where they wanted it as near like the same conditions after we got over there as we would have when we got there [sic]. Interviewer: Did you train for a specific function within the Army? Holland: Well, I guess I did. Interviewer: Could you provide some details on what a training day was like? Holland: A training day? Well, we done a little bit of everything. We almost trained night and day. They put us on guard duty. We did calisthenics. We would practice shooting with a rifle. Just a little bit of everything. Get out and crawled. Dig foxholes. Interviewer: How old were you at the time? Holland: I believe I was twenty-seven. Interviewer: And how did you feel at the time when you were going through this training knowing the war was coming up? Holland: Well, I felt like I was just wasn't no better going than nobody else [sic]. I wanted to serve my country, so I didn't dodge the draft. I went on. Of course, it was rough to leave a wife and a child. But I did it. So, we got that six weeks training. We were shipped on a old railroad boxcar to San Francisco, California, which took us a whole week. Then we were put on a [inaudible] liner, one of the fastest ships they had and sent to Australia. Well, we went from Australia to New Guinea, where the war was about over in New Guinea when I got there. Interviewer: What was it like when you arrived? Holland: In New Guinea? Well, that's just a terrible country. It just rained every day. Hot. Everything contaminated. They told us not to…whatever we do, not to wade or wash your clothes in the water there. But I thought they didn't know what they was talking about, so I go down and wash my clothes in a pretty little…looked like a clear creek and it gave me the jungle fever. So, as soon as I got up from that I was sent to the ship to the Philippine Islands, to invade the Philippine Islands. I was assigned to a boat. I was what they call a coxswain on the boat. I drove an LCM. Interviewer: What does LCM stand for? Holland: Well, it was a landing barge. We picked up the troops out of the big boat out to sea and carried them in to shore. And when we landed the troops, we also then carried in ammunition and supplies to them until they got a foothold, taken over. Then we move on and hit somewhere else. I was the first boat that hit the beach in Layte Island when the Philippines was invaded. Interviewer: Tell me more about that day. Holland: Ma'am? Interviewer: Tell me more about that day, please. Holland: That day? Well, that's a day I don't like to think about much. It was rough. There were many people killed because the Japs come out in swarms that night after we landed and killed a lot of our troops that we had landed there on the beach. Well, the first night then, I was assigned, my boat, to go in and pick up the dead and wounded off the beach, carry them back out to a hospital ship, which was out to sea a few miles. That was, I guess, as miserable a night as I've ever spent. But, we finally got everything taken over there. And then we went to several more islands and carried troops in, made landings, take them over. Well, we were training to go to Japan when they dropped the atomic bomb, ended the war. That was the happiest I ever was in my life and I've always admired and loved Truman for doing that cause that was gonna be a dangerous thing to land troops on Japan, on the [inaudible] beach. But we got a call from some little old island where they had a…was supposed to be a bunch of Japanese cut off, no supplies. Nobody lived in it. It was an uninhabited island. We got a call to come pick them up. They wanted to surrender. So my boat was assigned to go pick them up. We picked out a crew of about six, eight of us to go pick them up. Interviewer: Did your boat have a name? Was there a name? Holland: No, there wasn't no name. Just LCM landing craft. So, we went to pick them up. About fifty miles away from the base where we were. Interviewer: Do you know the name of that base? Holland: Of that? Interviewer: The base? Holland: Bay? Interviewer: The base where you were based out of? Holland: Oh, it was on Layte Island. Interviewer: Okay. Holland: Of course, I stayed on the boat all the time. I wasn't a…I was on the boat. Lived on the boat for two years. Interviewer: Okay. Holland: I wasn't a…just…if I went on the beach, it was just to pick up dead or wounded or something like that. Right back off. But my home was on that little old boat. But I was saying, we went to pick up them troops, prisoners. We got there, we pulled our boat in on the beach and they cut loose firing at us. Killed about half of our crew. Well, we backed off, but we done had about our crew dead. We had them on the boat. Put them in the bottom of our boat there and blood was flowing. And it was hot. Over a hundred degrees hot. Took us about two days to get back our base. And you talk about something, that was the worst odor that anybody could imagine. It's a dead human being out in the hot weather. That was one of the…I guess, one of the worst experiences that I had while I was over there. So I guess that about covers my activities over there. Interviewer: Well, where did you go after the Layte Island? Holland: Well, we to Nichols Island. We went to several of them islands, I didn't even know the name of them. We just got our orders to land troops such and such a place and they'd give us our readings to follow the compass. We usually traveled at night cause we were afraid to be out in there and the planes would bomb us, you know, if we were out in the ocean out in the daytime. So we traveled at night and they'd give us a reading with the compass and we'd have to follow that. And it'd carry us right to where we wanted to go. Interviewer: And why did you travel always at night? Holland: Always at night we traveled. Keep the planes from bombing us. The Japanese had them little old zero planes [sic] and they'd come down. It'd sound just like a bomber. Luckily, they never did hit our boat, but they hit some of the big boats. They'd go right down the smoke stack. Interviewer: And then after your work on Layte Island and Nichols Island, what came next? Holland: Well, as I say, several islands that we went on I don't even know the names of them. There's many islands over there. Interviewer: And you were…what were you doing at each of these islands? Holland: We'd carry troops into them from the…capture them, take them over. A lot of them, it wasn't much to it but some of them it was. It was rough on Layte. It was rough on Nichols Island. Some of… Interviewer: How was it rough? Holland: Well, you had the Japs a shooting at you. Just…and bullets didn't sound too good, whistling around your ears. Interviewer: What sort of food did you all eat there? Holland: Well, I had to live on bananas for most of the time because they give us that old Australian food, canned food. It was all we had on the boat. And that stuff wouldn't stay on my stomach. I'd eat it and right up it'd come. So I'd take a case of it in to the beach and swap it with some of them natives for a stalk of bananas and put them on the boat and that's what I'd mostly eat for nearly two years. Interviewer: And what about recreation? Did you all ever have any time off that you and your crew members… Holland: None whatsoever. Interviewer: No? Holland: We had a barrel out there on the boat. We caught rain water to bathe in. It's the only thing we had to bathe in. Barrels of water we caught rain water in. Interviewer: And I understand that you saw McArthur at some point? Holland: I what? Interviewer: Did you see General McArthur? Holland: Yes, I did. But it was out at sea about, oh, fifteen or twenty miles on the staff boat out there. And I went right up around him. I never did get on the boat with him but I've seen him standing out on the deck. He didn't get close in where the shooting was going on. Interviewer: What are some other vivid memories of your experience? Holland: Well, one of my experiences when we worked in New Guinea…they told us there were headhunters on the island. They said, “Don't go out anywhere away from the camp without carrying your rifle”. Well, I thought that was just a fairy tale. So I strayed off down there to a coconut grove. And one of the worst looking things I ever saw come up on me with a…and of course he couldn't talk English. It was some kind of jabbering with a big old long spear in his hand. And he took out after me. I've never run as hard in my life. I outrun him [sic] but it scared me to death. Whoa. Interviewer: Did you find out anything more about the indigenous people there while you were there? Holland: In New Guinea? There wasn't nothing there but, you know, natives there that couldn't speak English. They were terrible looking people. They said one of them lived to thirty-five years old. That was old. Their teeth rotted out while they were just children. It's a country I don't think no civilized person would want to live. Interviewer: And were you able to communicate while you were away with your wife or your family back at home? Holland: Well, none whatsoever except maybe we'd get mail from them. Maybe it took two weeks to get there. And we could write letters and carry it in and leave it on the shore. That was after we'd get a beach head made. There'd be times for several weeks that we had no way whatsoever of communicating. Couldn't write no letters or nothing. But when we'd get an island taken over, we could write some letters and we'd get a little mail once in a while. But we wasn't supposed to tell where we was [sic] or what we were doing. Cause it might give the enemy some information. Interviewer: Did you befriend anybody in particular that is important to you in your memories of World War Two? Holland: Well, there was several but they're practically all dead now, I reckon. I don't know another one of them that's living that was in my outfit. Interviewer: Were these men that you met at training camp or that you met later? Holland: Well, most…some of them was at training camp. We went all the way over there together, you know. That's one reason I ended up in that outfit because I didn't want to go in the Navy, I wanted to stay with my friends, people I met, knew. But… Interviewer: Who in particular? Could you give me some names/ Holland: Well, one of them was named J.H. Holland. Interviewer: A relation to you? Holland: No relation, just same name. But wasn't no relation. I can't remember the names. I'm very poor at that. Interviewer: That's okay. Holland: I did communicate with some of them a while after coming back home. But it soon played out. Interviewer: And…um…how…how often were you paid? Holland: How often we paid? Interviewer: Yep. Holland: Well, somewhere around once a month. I'd draw twelve dollars a month. Course, I had an allotment going back to my wife and child. That's where most of my money went to. But I'd actually draw twelve dollars a month. Interviewer: And when you returned home, tell me about when the war…after you were complete with your mission on the islands? What happened then? Holland: Which…when we started home? Interviewer: Yes. Or when you heard that the bomb had been dropped on Hiroshima. What happened then? Holland: Well, we was uh…congregated on Layte Island and we was waiting on transportation to come in and pick us up, bring us back home. It was less than a month. They put us on an old freighter. And where it took me three days to go over there, it took a week to go back. And when we changed over climates, they supposedly gave us shots to keep us taking pneumonia, but I took pneumonia. And I come into Oakland, California. I had to be put in the hospital with pneumonia. So I had to stay there about a week or ten days before I could out to go home. And that was a miserable time. Interviewer: Did your wife know? Holland: Yes, she knew. Interviewer: What other memories do you have of your World War Two experience? Holland: Well, a lot of them I've tried to forget. [chuckles] It was a rough time. I had some bad experiences. When you have your buddy to get killed right beside of you, it's rough. So, it was a miserable experience to be…what I went through with it. I don't talk about it much. I don't like to think about it. So, I believe that's about all I have to say. Interviewer: Would you like to share those photos? That's a photo of you when you enlisted in the Army? Holland: Right. Interviewer: And would you like to show the next photo? Holland: Well, this is a group of the outfit that I went in. This was taken after our basic training was over. Interviewer: In Florida? Holland: In Florida. Caraville [phonetic], Florida. Interviewer: The medals that are on your uniform, would you care to tell me about those? Holland: Well, I never did go for medals. I was instructed to go down and receive several medals that I never did go get because so many of these soldiers never go to nothing but basic training. You go down to the commissary you can buy them, any kind you wanted and all kinds. And they just fill there uniforms full of them. So for that reason I just didn't want none. Interviewer: Is there anything you'd like to add to the story? Holland: I don't believe so. Interviewer: Thank you very much. Holland: Yes, ma'am.

This will be the recorded interview for the Veterans Project of the Atlanta History Center of Kathleen Mainland, which is taken on October eighth, 2003. It is now twelve fifteen in the afternoon and the interviewer is myself, Hayden Pace. Kathleen, if I could get you to state your full name. Mainland: Kathleen Anne Camerton [phonetic] Mainland. Interviewer: And Kathleen, where were you born? Mainland: I was born in Airdrie, Lenoxshire, Scotland. It's near Glasgow. Interviewer: And when were you born? Mainland: Six October, 1931. Interviewer: When did you leave Scotland? Mainland: 1982. It was the date in the calendar that is also a command; March fourth. Interviewer: [laughs] All right. So you were there fifty years. Who were your parents? Mainland: My parents were James and Nancy Stout. My mother's maiden name was Bane. Interviewer: And what did James do for a living? Mainland: James was a banker. Interviewer: He was a banker. Mainland: Yes. Interviewer: And did James serve in the military at any time? Mainland: He served in World War One. And we do have an article that he wrote. Actually he wrote it as a letter home, but because he came from such a small community, Lerwick in the Shetland Islands, it was printed in the local paper and it told of his wartime experiences, mostly concerned with his progress toward the front along with his battalion. He was in the Seaforth Highlanders. And one thing he did not put on the letter, but told us, was that the kilts that they had to wear were made of very, very rough material and he apparently had rather tender legs because when the kilt material got wet it would take the skin off the back of his thighs [laughs]. Not at all comfortable. But anyway, he was on his way to the front along with everybody else. At one point they met up with German prisoners of war being taken to the back, taken out of combat. And he describes them as great hulking brutes [laughs]. He was not tall. He was not a tall man. Interviewer: How old was he when he enlisted? Mainland: Eighteen. Interviewer: And did he enlist or was he [inaudible]? Mainland: He enlisted because he was hoping that he could get into the physical training corps. But at that time, in nineteen…barely 1917, everybody just went straight to the front, so it didn't work for him. Interviewer: What is the physical training corps? Mainland: PT. Interviewer: Is it similar to boot camp? Mainland: No. No. It's a section that would be concerned with physical training, with exercising and building up muscle and you know. Interviewer: So he saw it as an opportunity? Mainland: That was what he wanted to go into. He was already working in a bank, but he didn't like it. And thought if he could get into the physical training part in the army that perhaps he could progress to that when he went back to civilian life. Interviewer: Do you know what your grandparents thought about him enlisting? Mainland: No. [laughs] I can't…well, I don't know. The atmosphere was so different, I think. Perhaps they were proud of him for serving his country, for taking it upon himself to go ahead and put himself possibly in the way of danger. Interviewer: Had he lived in that one town all his life at that point? Mainland: Yes. Interviewer: So this was an opportunity perhaps to travel, too. Mainland: Possibly. Although, he had lived…they went on holiday to what's called the mainland, which means Scotland. Actually the island that they lived on, the main island of both the Shetland and the Orkney group is called “The Mainland” and that's where my name comes from. Interviewer: Do you know if he spent his entire service career in Scotland or did he travel to… Mainland: Oh, he traveled to France. I think it was Arras. And as I say, he was on his way to the front when suddenly he found himself face down in the mud without any idea of how he had got there. And he got up and sort of cleaned himself off and went along the road and only at night, when he took off his helmet did he discover what had happened. He had a very small head and the helmets have netting in them that you're supposed to pull tight around your head. Well, in his case it made the helmet sit high off his head, really. And a bullet had entered the crown of the helmet, gone around the inside and out the back and that was what threw him forward. And having a small head saved his life and I guess that's one of the reasons why I'm here today [laughs]. Cause my dad had a small head. But before he got into any fighting at all--I don't think he ever fired his rifle in anger or in self-defense or anything else--he was hit in the thigh and his thighbone was broken. So he was left by the roadside, as it happened, for over twenty-four hours. And he tried, he describes how he tried to splint his leg with his bayonet and the entrenching tool that they carry. But it wasn't a good job apparently because when he got back to hospital in Britain his thighbone had knit together overlapping two and a half inches. So they broke it and reset it but that was not successful and he was two and a half inches short in his right leg for the rest of his life and had to wear a surgical boot, which of course put paid to any thought of a career in physical training or gymnastics. Interviewer: So he went back to the bank. Mainland: So he went back to the bank, yes. Interviewer: How long was his career in the military? Mainland: I think he joined up in February and was invalided out in April. Interviewer: So very short. Mainland: Very short, yes. Interviewer: And as you stated, he never even got a chance to shoot his rifle. Mainland: Nope. Interviewer: I see. Mainland: The only quote Huns that he saw were those being taken as prisoners of war back to… Interviewer: When he was in the military, did he communicate with his family at all? Mainland: Oh, yes. The whole family were letter writers and this letter that Daddy wrote, well, it's arranged by the editor of the paper, of course. But he wrote that and he also wrote a letter to his sister, Betty, which I brought. Well, I typed out a copy of it and I have it here. Interviewer: Okay. Will you hold that up for the camera? It's a letter that was written by James to his sister Betty or Elizabeth and that's going to be included in the materials here [inaudible]. Mainland: Monday, twenty-six March, 1917. When he was in…he does say. He mentions having met up with somebody else from Shetland. Oh, yes. [reading] “The village we're at just now is called Ourton.” O-U-R-T-O-N. “Or Durton and lies somewhere behind Arras.” And of course, he wasn't supposed to say that, so he's admonishing his sisters to keep it quiet. They must not have been censored or that would have been cut out. Interviewer: Right. Did he maintain any friendships with anyone he met during his time in the service? Mainland: Not that I know of. Interviewer: Did he frequently refer to his time in the service as you where growing up? Mainland: He sang “Pack Up Your Troubles” so much that I thought it was a nursery rhyme. It's one of the first things I learned to sing. Interviewer: And this song, in case the viewers aren't familiar with it, is that something he was taught in the military? Mainland: Well, it was a song of World War One. Interviewer: Okay. Do you remember any of it? Mainland: Oh, yes. [singing] “Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile. While you've a Lucifer to light your fag, smile boys, that's the style. What's the use of worrying? It never was worthwhile. So pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile.” And a Lucifer, of course, is a match. A fag is a cigarette. He didn't smoke, I don't think. [laughs] Interviewer: So other than this particular song, would he speak [inaudible] told you his stories about the bullet in the helmet and then obviously he was shot in the thigh. Mainland: He didn't talk about it a great deal. I mean, it wasn't something I was taken on his lap and told about. I presume, I can't remember, but I should think sometime I was up in the attic and came across the helmet and brought it down and asked about it and that's how I heard. And we'd never known him without a surgical boot. And it wasn't all that apparent. It was just, the right boot was built up with a platform of cork inside it and when he was wearing trousers, long trousers, you couldn't see. But it didn't stop him playing badminton and oh, he played badminton quite a lot. Interviewer: Did he meet your mother before or after entering into the war? Mainland: After. Interviewer: Okay. And you were born obviously several years later, fifteen years later. Mainland: Yes. They married in 1926. I believe they were engaged for about four years. Well, you had to have enough money to marry on in those days. You didn't just get married and then wonder where the money was coming from. [laughs] No, my mother didn't work. She was a very shy, quiet person and she stayed at home until she went to live with my father. Interviewer: And were you living with them at the time that World War Two began? Mainland: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Interviewer: What do you remember of that? Mainland: Well, being seven years old, what I mainly remember is that war broke out in September and I was sort of vaguely aware of the grownups going around with very solemn faces and sort of clustering around the radio whenever there was a news bulletin. But my main memory is of great delight because it meant that school didn't open. We had extended summer holidays. [laughs] The very early days of the war, there were still a lot of worried people running around. They were issuing gas masks. They were appointing people as air raid wardens. We were being told to protect the glass in our house, the windows particularly, by putting either net or crisscrossings of brown sticky paper on them so if they shattered they wouldn't go everywhere. And of course, we had to have blackouts. We had big screens that went up over every window in the house and we didn't turn on the lights when it started to get dark at night until we had the blackouts in place. And the air raid wardens were civilians in each street, or perhaps several to a street if it was a long one, who went around and patrolled regularly to make sure no chink of light was showing. All the street lights were put out. There were no street lights at all. The few cars that were on the road, because of course there was no petrol or gas, had sort of hoods over their headlights directing them down so that they could scarcely be seen. And really, it was all to stop over-flying aircraft from seeing anything or knowing where they were or knowing that there was land below them at all. Interviewer: All this preparation, how did that impress upon a seven year old? Mainland: It was just…I think more excited. There was a real hum in the air. And as the time went on, I think being so young, we kids just adjusted to…that was life at the time and we hadn't known anything else so we couldn't contrast it. Interviewer: Did your parents explain what was going on, what was behind all these preparations? Mainland: No, I don't think so. It was just “the war” and we didn't know what “the war” was. Interviewer: Did you kids try and figure it out among your friends. Mainland: [inaudible, whispering] no. No. We knew the Germans were bad. Actually we, in my area, experienced the first air raid of the war on British soil. They tried, in September, I mean right at the beginning of the war, they tried to bomb the Forth Bridge, which was the main rail link between the southern part of the country and the north. And they tried to bomb the Roughside [phonetic] Dockyard. Now we were on the southern edge of Dunfermline, facing the River Forth and right down in front of our windows was Roughside Dockyard. If you had a good pair of binoculars, you could tell the time by the clock that was on the big chimney in the middle of it. So, it was going on all the time. They were testing the air raid sirens and I still get chills up my back when I hear the police in Atlanta. I'm a little more accustomed to it now, but it still goes back to that time where it meant, “Be frightened.” And they were testing the air raid sirens and so when we went out playing and the air raid sirens went one more time, we didn't pay any attention. “Oh, they're just testing again.” We didn't even think that, I don't think. Just went on. And then we started to see planes sort of streaking across the sky and then there were sparks of orange coming out of the planes. I can remember thinking, “It's a very realistic test, this.” And it wasn't until oh, a couple hours or more later that a neighbor came home, lived further up the street, white and shaking because he had been on a train that was crossing the Forth Bridge during the raid. And for some unknown reason, they stopped the train on the bridge until the raid was over. I don't begin to understand the reasoning. Maybe there wasn't any, but they did. So he sat there and watched planes dive bombing him. Said he could see the crosses on the wings and in some cases, actually see the outline of the pilot inside. Interviewer: How frightening. Mainland: Oh, terrifying. But they never did get the bridge. I mean, it's like a pencil from the air. And later on…they didn't harm the dockyard either. But later on, in order to forestall raids on the dockyard particularly, they put up barrage balloons, which are big helium-filled balloons. You know what a balloon looks like with the big sort of ears, which we would, in Scotland, call lugs. That's Scottish for ear. And they're flown at a certain height which prevents the planes from coming as low as they might do to strafe or bomb. So all through the war, we had these barrage balloons as part of our view. And we became very accustomed to them so that when they weren't there, it was unsettling. It was worrying. And one day, I remember, we watched as one by one they caught fire and sank down. And we thought that the Germans had come and were shooting them down so that they could come in and really put paid to the dockyard. But it turned out it was localized lightning that was hitting them and taking them down. I don't…we never really…I don't remember understanding really what the war was about or what it was. It wasn't directly concerning us. I mean, we weren't in the line of fire, as it were. We didn't have soldiers. We didn't have…well, I did evacuate actually. I was going to say we didn't have to evacuate. But there was a time when there were a great many raids and it was decided that I would be safer away from the dockyard and the bridge. So I was sent to my aunt's, and she lived in the country on the west side of the country. And it turned out that that wasn't a very good idea either because she was fairly close to the shipyards on the River Clyde and the Germans started going for those shipyards. So I came home. But we had air raid sirens, air raid warnings just about every night for ten days as the planes flew over us on their way to Clydebank. And we didn't [inaudible word] coming out of the shelter when the all clear went because we learned that they were going to come back the same way and if they had any bombs left over they would jettison them wherever. So, we just stayed in the air raid shelter until the all clear went for the second time. And then it was all right. But by then, most of the night was over. So. And I say air raid shelter, now if we had sustained a direct hit on the house we would all have been blown to kingdom come. Because the air raid shelter was a little sort of heavy wooden structure in the corner of my parents' bedroom, where there was just about room for the four of us to sit in there. The idea was that we were up against an outside wall which was double because we had a cold cellar just outside. Crazy. And I expect the Anderson shelters that were corrugated iron set into the ground, if they had sustained a direct hit they would not have…well, I say put into the ground. Then they had soil, dirt packed over them. But a bomb would have killed everybody in there if it had come close enough. It was some shelter but not really a hundred percent. Interviewer: An Anderson shelter. What is that? Mainland: Well, that was this thing that you dug a hole in the ground about maybe four feet deep and you got these pieces of corrugated iron that came up so far and then curved over the top to make a roof. And then when you'd got that you would pile dirt on top. You could dig it deeper than four feet, I guess. And then you piled dirt over the top and that was your air raid shelter and you went in there. Some people had bunks inside so they could sleep. But I don't know what the air raid shelters that we had at school were made of. I know we went down into them and I think they must have been brick built and you went down into the shelter, which I remember feeling very resentful that we had four or six of them in the girls' playground, not the boys'. It was a mixed school but we were strictly segregated. In the classroom, the boys sat on one side, the girls sat on the other and when we went out for recess or playtime, the boys had a separate playground from the girls with a great big wall in between the two [laughs], which seemed…I mean we just took it for granted. That was the way things were. But it seems crazy now. That was in elementary school. Infant school we all played together. That was five to seven year olds. And then when you were seven, eight, you went to elementary in the separate sexes. Although we were both in the same classroom. And then the same when we went to high school. The boys had a separate entrance and a separate gymnasium and we sat separately in class mostly. But that's just an aside. I was going to say that the one fear that stayed with me, and pretty much through the war, at least until the air raids finished, was that there would be an air raid while I was part ways between home and school. What would I do? Where would I go? I never voiced the fear because there was all this thing about stiff upper lip and you weren't supposed to show your fear and you didn't tell people about hardships or what you were feeling or anything. That was part of the war effort. Interviewer: The war went on for years. How did you deal with this for such a long time? Mainland: Yes, but the raids didn't go on. I mean, I guess by what…'42, certainly by '43 there were no more raids in Britain. And so it was three years, four years. Just when I was little. Interviewer: From age seven to ten? Is that about right? Mainland: Yeah. Something like that. Interviewer: Other than the two assaults on the bridge and the dockyards, which were I guess unsuccessful, do you remember any other assaults on your town or your village? Mainland: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. There was one time when my father…I saw my father afraid and that was very scary. He was, as I say, an air raid warden and after the siren had gone he went out to check round about that nobody was showing any lights. And when he came back in, he was pale. And he said, “Oh, we're for it now. We're for it now.” And he told us that what apparently had happened was that the light bombers had come over first and they had dropped incendiaries all around the…well, I don't know whether all around, but all around the boundary of the town that we could see from our windows and we were fairly high. And he said that they [inaudible] it's a ring of fire that the heavy stuff is going to be dropped into. Well, he had reckoned without our fire service because when the heavy bombers came over, there was no ring of fire left. It had all been put out. And I don't really know whether they dropped their bombs or whether they turned around and went back and dropped them somewhere else or what happened. And I don't know why they would want to drop the bomb on Dunfermline because there was nothing there. We weren't a military town. We weren't making munitions. We weren't doing anything outstanding for the war effort. Interviewer: How big was this town? Mainland: It was about sixty thousand. Incidentally, it's where Andrew Carnegie was born. Not a big town and yes, we did have the military in town. They commandeered the public…the Carnegie public baths, the swimming pool as barracks for the army. As they did when I…at my grandmother's, she lived outside Glasgow and there was a little sort of community hall down the road from where she lived and that was made into a barracks. And when I went to visit her, and I had a great time running errands for the soldiers and getting paid for it, you know. Interviewer: Did you meet with the soldiers personally? Mainland: Oh, yes. Interviewer: [inaudible] the errands? Mainland: Oh, yes. Yes. Interviewer: What do you remember of them? Mainland: The main thing I remember was that they had a pipe band there and every morning I would get up early and go down and march up and down with the pipe major as he practiced his pipes. I'm sure the neighborhood must have been delighted having a piper at seven o'clock in the morning [laughs], but I loved it. I thought it was just great and I marched up and down keeping him company. Interviewer: Did the soldiers ever tell you any stories or… Mainland: They hadn't been anywhere yet. This was a staging post. I mean, they weren't training. They must just have been there waiting until they were deployed, until they knew where they were going to go. Interviewer: Do you remember their general mood? Mainland: It was pretty upbeat as I remember. But then they wouldn't show anything else to a child. Interviewer: And you said that the town sort of had an attitude, “Keep a stiff upper lip.” Mainland: Oh, the whole country. Interviewer: Really. Mainland: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I don't know that there were any posters about that. The posters mostly were about “careless talk, save lives”. Careless talk…oh, what was it? “Careless talk costs lives.” That was it. So if you knew anything you weren't supposed to talk about it. Interviewer: Now you stated that the air raids ended after a period of time and the war continued. Mainland: Oh, yes. Interviewer: What do you remember about your family or your town keeping track of the war [inaudible]? Mainland: Oh, radio. Radio. Everybody sat around the radio when the news came on, six o'clock news at night. I mean, there were newscasts at other times of the day, but six o'clock you could just about count on everybody being indoors listening to the news and the different news readers. Albar Ledell [phonetic] is one name that comes to mind. They always announced their names when they were reading it. “Here is the BBC six o'clock news and this is Albar Ledell reading it.” Interviewer: And were these broadcasts just simply reporting what had taken place or were they from the front lines? Mainland: Oh, they weren't from the front lines. No. They might be stories from the front lines, but the news was purely reporting what was going on, what had gone on that particular day, what progress we had made. Interviewer: Very different from today's coverage of the military. Mainland: Yes. Interviewer: Do you remember the end of the war? Mainland: Oh, yes. [laughing] Interviewer: What was it like? Mainland: I can't remember exactly what V-E was like, Victory in Europe. But some people at school, high school by then, got a hold of some paint and on the entrance, the two entrances, boys and girls, to the school, they put a great big painted “V-E” on either side of the doorway. Never found out who did it. [laughs] I have a photograph. I don't know. You might like a copy of it. It's actually the prizewinners for 1945 and I was one. And there we are all clustered on these steps and you can see the V-E and they've tried to take out the V-E with blackboard dusters. You know, where you just smacked the chalk dust on it. But you can still see the V-E showing through. V-J I remember better because I was visiting Shetland. Stopped there staying with cousins. And we knew it was coming. And when it was finally announced, the first thing I think people did…must have come in the evening because that's what I remember about. People rushed to take their blackouts down and let the lights shine out. And it was wonderful. We went up to my cousin's bedroom and she was up on the third floor and we could crawl out the window into a little balcony on the front of the house and we watched the lights coming out. And there were…this was Lerwick which is a harbor. And there were little craft going up and down the harbor, shooting off ferry lights and it was like fireworks and we'd never…couldn't remember seeing anything like it ever before. That was just…that was a wonderful night. [laughs] Interviewer: [inaudible] celebration? Mainland: Yes. Oh, yes. I don't remember parties. I suppose there must have been but that's my memories of the end of the war, especially in Lerwick. Those ships running up and down and the lights coming on. Interviewer: And moving sort of backwards, do you remember when Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor or any event? Mainland: Not particularly. Interviewer: The United States at that point… Mainland: Oh, yes. Interviewer: [inaudible] Mainland: Oh, yes. Interviewer: [inaudible] Mainland: Well, not really. I mean I was what? Eight when that happened and it was just all part of “The War”. I wasn't aware that America hadn't been in before or that it was in now. Didn't know where Pearl Harbor was. Didn't particularly care at eight years old. Interviewer: Did you have a notion of politics or Allies? Mainland: No, not really. Interviewer: After V-E and V-J, do you remember the Scottish troops coming back home? Mainland: It wasn't really noticeable. I didn't have anybody who was in the war closer than a second cousin. Oh, no. A couple of second cousins. One was a surgeon in the navy and the other one was in the army. Oh, part of my war effort was writing to the one in the navy. I wrote letters to him regularly. And we got special…like the…you know the airmail letters that you get at the post office that you just fold up and stick? We had forces letters that were something like that. And that was what I wrote to this cousin just to [inaudible] my war effort. Interviewer: Did you get letters back? Mainland: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Interviewer: Do you remember any of them? Mainland: Then he came and stayed with us. I don't remember any…I mean he…again, writing to a child. He wouldn't put anything horrid. Interviewer: Am I right in seeing there's also a letter written from your dad to his sister during World War Two? Mainland: Yes. Yes, there is. This is the letter that he wrote. It's just an extract from it about the war, about not getting too much sleep and also about the night that the bombers came to drop their incendiaries and then the heavy stuff was supposed to go inside the ring of fire. Oh, he adds…I had forgotten about that. But the next morning, the burnt part that we could see, there was just a horde of people going down, going through it, looking for souvenir pieces of shrapnel and bits of bomb and whatever. We did not join in that. [laughs] He says, [reading] “It's amazing what some people will do.” But it was a time of deprivation. Everything was rationed. Gasoline for instance. You just could not get…unless you were a doctor or needed it for essential work. Public transport did get it obviously, but there were no cars on the roads virtually. I walked to and from school. It wasn't that far. Twice a day, because I came home for lunch. Food was rationed. Every food was rationed. I think, I have a picture that shows the exact amounts per person, per week. The only thing that I remember for sure was candy. Four ounces per person per week. And rationing did not finish in 1945. The first thing that was de-rationed was candy in 1950. And rationing was fully finished in 1954. We put everything we had into the war effort. Interviewer: So the transition from wartime to non-wartime took a period of years. Mainland: Oh, yes. Oh, it wasn't instantaneous by any means. Clothes were rationed. You had coupons and it was so many coupons for a pair of socks, for a length of dress material. When I was thinking about coming to this, it occurred to me to wonder how the theaters managed with clothes. I don't think they got special…they must have got special dispensation to buy material to make costumes. Another of the wartime phrases was “Make do and mend.” And you did. You mended your clothes until they wouldn't hold stitches any more. I don't know how my mother managed to keep interesting meals on the table because meat was rationed, for instance. I mean it was something like six ounces per person per week. But you didn't get to choose. You went down to the butcher shop and you took what he happened to have in at that time or maybe he was having something else in the next day. And so she wouldn't be able to plan ahead. She just had to decide on the way home what she was going to cook or how she was going to cook whatever she had. Much of our garden, which was quite large, was given over to growing vegetables. And we had fruit trees. We had apples and gooseberries and raspberries and black currants and rhubarb. And all through the war, my sister and I did not start drinking tea. My sister's five years younger than I am. In the summertime we would have milk to drink, as far as I remember. In the winter, going out to school to give us something warm in our tummies, we had a glass of hot water with a spoonful of honey in it. One of my father's cousins lived up in Aberdeenshire and kept bees. So at the beginning of every winter we would buy twenty pounds of honey from her. It came in a great big can. And that meant that my mother could save the sugar that we would otherwise have put in our tea and she used it for making jam and pies and so on. Interviewer: How about the psychological transition from wartime to after the war? Is this something that you noticed or people didn't relax as quickly as you might guess they would? Mainland: I don't think so. I don't think so. I think it took a while. I don't remember exactly. I guess I stopped being frightened when there stopped being air raids. Though I'll tell you another thing that…everything went gray during the war. We didn't bleach things any more. So newspaper was gray. The books that you bought had gray paper and very thin sort of flimsy feel to it. The packets that the cereal, breakfast cereal, came in were gray. We didn't get Rice Krispies any more cause we don't grow rice and Rice Krispies were my favorite. So that was a real hardship. This aunt that my father was writing to came to visit us in 1950 and I came back with her and spent a year in Atlanta. That's what made me want to come back. That and “Gone with the Wind,” which I read seven times when I was in my teens. But…where was I going with that? Going across in the ship I had Rice Krispies for breakfast every morning. It was great. But we didn't have corn flakes, cause we don't grow corn very well. It's only really fit for animal fodder, the corn that we grow. We grow a different kind of corn, which is a real grain. It's not the maize that you think of as corn. And we had wheat flakes. It's really not very appetizing. And the bread went gray because the flour wasn't bleached. Interviewer: Do you remember this returning to normal after a period of time? Mainland: Not really. Nope. Seems strange. You'd think I would. I don't remember it at this point. Interviewer: And then you moved to the United States and you have children? Mainland: Yes. Yes. I have two sons. One is living with me. I came partly as the result of the breakup of my marriage. My husband left and shortly afterwards my mother died. My father was already died [sic]. He had a cerebral hemorrhage at age fifty-five. I suddenly realized that there wasn't anything to keep me in Britain anymore and it wasn't really where I wanted to be. The early eighties was when the trade unions were running everything, it seemed. And there would be strikes over an extra five minutes on the tea break or really stupid things, it seemed to me. And I didn't want my children growing up with that sort of work ethic. So I started making inquiries about coming over here. Eventually, six years later. It isn't easy to come here as a legal immigrant. I was very tempted to come as an illegal, but I didn't want my kids to get off on the wrong foot. So, we waited and waited and all the paperwork that you have to go through. But eventually, two of my friends in this country engaged the services of an immigration lawyer. And among us, we managed to pull it off. Interviewer: And your sons have children? Do you have grandkids? Mainland: One of them has two children, a boy and a girl. Interviewer: How old is the boy? Mainland: The boy will be five on the fifteenth of October and the little girl was one on the twenty-ninth of September. They're up in Boulder, Colorado. Interviewer: Do you speak with your children about your memories of the war and told them about these stories? Mainland: Oh, yes. I wrote it all up actually and they both read it. We don't talk about the war a great deal. Interviewer: What about [inaudible]? Mainland: [inaudible] Now my older son, the one in Boulder, is a world history teacher and he's very interested in just all aspects. We haven't actually sat down and talked about the war as such, but various little things that have come up, he's interested in. Interviewer: What is your impression of military service these days? Would you encourage people to serve in the military or do you have an opinion in that regard? Mainland: [sighs] I don't really think I would ever encourage anybody close to me to serve in the military just because of the danger. I think it's great the benefits you get from it. You know, your college education if you need it, that sort of thing. But the danger is too much. Especially now, when the weapons get more and more sophisticated. It's horrifying. Interviewer: Okay. That's all I have, but is there anything you'd like to state or any story that I failed to ask you about [inaudible]? Mainland: Can't think of anything. I think we've covered it all. I don't think there's anything else, thank you. Interviewer: Great. Well, thank you very much. Mainland: You're very welcome. Interviewer: I appreciate it.

Barnes is a photographer known for his documentary work on racial and economic justice issues in the 1950s and 1960s. Barnes begins the interview by explaining how he grew interested in issues of inequality while working as a photographer for McGraw-Hill Publishing in Atlanta, Georgia, during the 1950s and early 1960s. After establishing a reputation for himself, Barnes was offered a job with the newly formed North Carolina Fund in 1963. Founded by Governor Terry Sanford and shaped by executive director George Esser, the North Carolina Fund was a precursor to President Johnson's more broadly conceived War on Poverty. Barnes describes the aims of the North Carolina Fund at length, emphasizing how the black power movement was demonstrative of the need to involve people in decision-making processes. He also discusses the Fund's ideology of providing people with opportunities and training rather than welfare, and its overall goal of breaking the cycle of poverty. Throughout the interview, Barnes describes the work of North Carolina Fund volunteers, who sought to educate children and implemented programs like Head Start. Researchers interested in the history of the North Carolina Fund, the photography of Barnes, or the uses of documentary photography in social justice movements of the South will find particularly useful material in the second half of the interview, in which Barnes describes a number of his most memorable photographs to the interviewer. The interview concludes with Barnes's brief discussion of his accumulated records about the North Carolina Fund and his failed effort to establish a radio station, owned and operated by the people, in Wautauga County, North Carolina. Barnes places the work of the North Carolina Fund within the broader context of economic justice and community empowerment, while paying attention to the political tensions that shaped the War on Poverty in the South.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["text/html","text/xml","audio/mpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of Oral histories of the American South collection."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["Community development corporations--North Carolina--Employees","Social reformers--North Carolina","Photographers--North Carolina","North Carolina Fund","Community development--North Carolina","Documentary photography--North Carolina","Poverty--North Carolina","Poor--North Carolina"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with Billy E.

This is an interview of Mr. Ben Carella, 115 Sweetwood Way in Roswell, Georgia. His birth date is June 30, 1919. Interview is taking place at the Atlanta History Center. Robert Gardner is conducting the interview. Mr. Carella, what branch of service did you serve in? Mr. Carella: On the Air Force, known as the Old Brownshoe. What was the highest rank that you attained, sir? Mr. Carella: Lieutenant Colonel. Where did you serve, sir? Mr. Carella: Romulus, Michigan; Great Falls, Montana; St. Joan, Missouri; and Weisbladen, Germany. Where you drafted, or did you enlist? Mr. Carella: I enlisted. Where were you living at the time, sir? Mr. Carella: In New York City. Why did you join? Mr. Carella: Well, two or three reasons. I'd rather be in the Air Force, so I was going to be drafted and I figured that would be a more elite form of soldier than being just the regular GI. And that's the reason I joined. Do you recall your first days in service? Mr. Carella: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Took a train from Grand Central Station down to Maxwell Field, Alabama, and went through three months of basic and GI training before we even got to do any flying or got into the flying end of the business. Can you tell me about your boot camp or training experiences? Mr. Carella: Very difficult. Get up at about 6:30 in the morning, and didn't get to bed until, maybe, eight or nine at night. And, of course, we performed all kinds of military functions, learning how to march and drill and run. And then at night when you thought you were asleep the upper class would come in and haze you a little bit. Get you to jump out of bed, stand at attention and it got to the point where you wanted to do away with them. But, we got to be upper classmen later on, so we did the same thing. It was just a form of what was going on in those days. Do you remember any of your instructors? Mr. Carella: Oh, no. No, I do not. I can picture them, but I don't know their names. I can't remember. That's going back too many years. How did you get through it all? Mr. Carella: It wasn't easy. We just hung on there and did the best you could, and during the primary training we lost about, I'd say, maybe fifty or sixty percent of our people were washed out because they couldn't either pass the flying end of it or couldn't stand the strain for whatever reasons. Then, when you graduated primary, you got into basic training, and you lost another, I'd say, ten to twenty percent, for the same reasons, because you got into a second stage aircraft. We went from the PT13 Stamen[?] to the Vultivibrator, and then when you passed that phase of it, you got into advanced training. And when you got to advanced training you were pretty much in the program because the government had already invested quite a bit of money in training on you, and they weren't about to let you go for minor infractions. And we got into the AT6, which is the advanced trainer, and of course, that was a more sophisticated air craft with retractable gear and adjustable prop and flaps and all that kind of stuff, so. Graduated, advanced training, November 10th, 1942, and my first assignment was through Romulus, Michigan. My last ten, ten or fifteen hours of advanced training were done in a P40 aircraft. At that time we were scheduled in a program to support General Chenault's efforts in the Far East, and we were going to be some of the replacements that were going to be transferred or sent over to his unit. But at that stage of the game he wasn't requiring any more replacements because the air there, the war there was winding down. So we were assigned to the newly developed air transport command, which was a new unit formed in the Army Air Force to transport aircraft from manufacturers to the front lines. And that was about it. Which war or wars did you serve in, sir? Mr. Carella: World War II, and I was on active duty, I was in the Air Force reserve active duty training, sir, and we supported the Vietnam War and the Korean War, but I was not actively engaged there. We just supported them in a form of logistical support, moving equipment and supplies around the United States where they were needed. Do you remember arriving at any of your specific duty stations and what it was like? Mr. Carella: Oh, yes. I was a brand new lieutenant. Graduated November 10th and married – graduated in the morning and married my wife in the afternoon, my girlfriend, in the afternoon, same day. And we got transferred -- the first assignment was Romulus, Michigan -- and took a train up to Detroit and arrived at Romulus. Being a brand new lieutenant and not familiar with, or acquainted with military life it was kind of, kind of scary. Very nervous, and because you were with ten or fifteen other people that you graduated with, so you formed a kind of little group and you all pushed through together. Did you see any combat, sir? Mr. Carella: No, we did not. I got into combat areas, but I never saw any actual combat. We, from, Romulus, Michigan, we got transferred to Great Falls, Montana, and at that point, we were supporting a land lease program to the Russians up in Alaska. And, our primary duties were to go to Niagara Falls and pick up Bell aircraft, fly them back to Great Falls, and then prepare them for delivery to the Russians up in, at first we were going to Nome, and then we were pushed back to delivering to Fairbanks. The Russians didn't want us to get too close to their country. And we also went to Niagara Falls, a P40 Curtis aircraft company there, and picked up P40's and did the same thing. The P40's went mostly to Adack, off the Aleutian islands, to beef up that portion of the effort -- that we were thinking of invading Japan through the back door, which was going from the Aleutian Islands down into Japan that way, while the other countries, the other units, invaded Japan from the front door. And that's as far, that's how we got involved into being in combat areas, but never seeing any actual combat. Can you tell me about a couple of your most memorable experiences? Mr. Carella: Well, in 1942 and 1943, the Alcan highway was being built. And we had no photographic or maps to guide us. We were given a map, it was ten miles wide, a strip, strip map, that the army aircorps had photographed and developed in a hurry to enable us to, guide us up the Alcan highway to Fairbanks, Alaska. And that's pretty rough country up there. We used to, if you wandered outside this ten mile strip you were in, you were over country you had no way of recognizing or what to do with. So our primary objective was to stay within sight of the Alcan highway, which went from Edmonton, Fort Nelson, Watson Lake, Northway and up to, in to Fairbanks. The weather going up that way was spotty, the weather forecast was spotty. We didn't have all the modern meteorology experience or knowledge that we have today. At that time it was just weather stations every two or three hundred miles apart run by weather sergeants in the army, and they were pretty good, really. They would give us their local weather and we would analyze the weather and make up our minds whether it was go or no go. We had to fly strictly VFR, because we had no IFR experience or equipment, in those days, to fly these fighter pilots, fighter planes in IFR weather. The P39 was equipped with a 165-175 gallon belly tank, which would enable us to give us some range, and considering gasoline weighs six or seven pounds a gallon, that was like carrying a 1000-1100 pound torpedo under your airplane, which made it very unstable, to say the least. And these were all things that you learn through experience how to handle. That's about… Were you awarded any medals or citations? Mr. Carella: Oh, yeah. We were given various medals for going through different theaters of operation. I can't recall them all. I've got medals for going through Alaska, out the Aleutian Islands. Later, in 1945 or 46, I was transferred to the weather wing, and qualified in a DC-4, or C-54 as the airforce called it, four engine transport, and we were assigned to the weather wing in Weisbladen, Germany, 11th, 11th weather wing. And the crew was given the airplane in Asheville, North Carolina, and we flew it over through Bermuda, and out to Y80, which was Weisbladen, Germany. That was the destination of the airstrip there was Y80. And we flew the DC-4 there and we were assigned to the 11th weather wing. And we were supporting, this was during the tail end of the war. We were, we were supplying a lot of the countries there with weather equipment – weather balloons, weather stations, wind instruments. The sole purpose was to help these different countries update their weather. In turn, we were flying our aircraft into these countries and the information we got from them was a little more accurate to enable our airplanes to go in and out of places like Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, down through Italy, Greece, Spain, Casablanca. We covered Europe, Africa and the Middle East at that time, with the DC-4. And that was the tail end of my active duty assignments. On returning back to the States in, I think it was June of 1947, and I remained in the Air Force reserve, active duty, unit. And I stayed with the Air Force Reserve until I retired in 1981, I believe it was. [From?]1969 or 1970, as Lieutenant colonel. And that was my experience in the military. How did you stay in touch with your family? Mr. Carella: Well, my wife traveled with me while I was in the states. And when I was stationed in Great Falls, Montana. But when I was sent overseas I went over alone, because they didn't have billets or homes or places for families to come over. So, I spent about fourteen months in Europe as a married bachelor, so to speak. And we, with the mostly letter writing. That's the only way we stayed in touch. There wasn't any, any phone calling back and forth. And I got in the habit of writing my wife at least once a day, sometimes every, at least every two days. And the mail, you wouldn't get mail for maybe a week. And then you'd get six or eight letters at one time, because they were going through the army post office. And it was, it was a little lonely at times. When I was overseas my first daughter was born, while I was over there. And I didn't get to see her until she was seven, eight months old I think. And it was, that was the hard part. That's it. What was the food like? Mr. Carella: The food was good. Of course, being an officer in the Air Force, we ate better than most of the army did, I guess. We were always, there was an old saying, we were not, if we were going to die, at least we'd die clean and well fed. And the poor GI's, they died cold and ill fed. So, anyway, that was just a saying. No, the food, I have no complaints of the food. We ate well, and were well clothed. Did you have plenty of supplies? Mr. Carella: Supplies? Oh, yeah. We had no trouble with supplies. We had all the clothing we needed. We were well fed, as I said. We were issued 45's and other means of arms that we needed, because you didn't, you couldn't carry too much in an airplane. No, the supplies were well…. That's one of the reasons I joined the Air Force, because I was, I knew it was one of the better units to be in. Did you feel any pressure or stress? Mr. Carella: Oh, yeah. Everybody feels pressure and stress. Sometimes it was hellacious, sometimes it was a lot of boredom. But everybody had pressure and stress in those days. Anybody that didn't, I don't think they were normal. Was there something special you did for good luck? Mr. Carella: Just kept a little bit of my religion and faith, prayed to God a couple of times, quite a few times as I recall. No, that was, didn't carry any rabbit's tails or rabbits foot or anything like that. I didn't believe in those things. How did people entertain themselves? Mr. Carella: Did a lot of drinking, a lot of smoking. We used to meet at the bar after duty hours and play live dice, and of course, drinks there were cheaper than water is today. Cigarettes were free. We entertained ourselves. We just raised a little cain, I guess, now and then. Were there any entertainers that came over to entertain you? Mr. Carella: Yeah, we had the USO groups. And, yeah. There was, a lot of that was, they did a lot of that, as much as they could to entertain the troops, because during the war it was difficult. Most of that was done in the States, for soldiers waiting to go overseas. There wasn't too much of that overseas at that time. What did you do when you were on leave? Did you get any leave? Mr. Carella: Not while I was overseas. We didn't get any leave where we could come home or anything like that, no. I was only over there a short period, so. I liked to save up my leave days, so when I got home I could have a couple of weeks off. We didn't do anything special. You mentioned some of the places that you went delivering the station equipment. Did you get to do any travel or anything? Mr. Carella: Oh, yeah. We'd load up the DC-4 and, one trip we took went to Norway, Denmark and Sweden. And we left all our equipment there and we were always treated well, because we were donating something to these countries and they were very happy and anxious to get them. And then we delivered equipment down in Rome, brought some down to Casablanca, Greece, Paris, France. I can't think of any others. Do you remember any particularly humorous or unusual events? Mr. Carella: Yeah, a couple. We, flying up north in a P-39, you couldn't carry very much. The engine was behind you. It was a twenty-millimeter canon went through the, through your legs up to the front, shot out of the propeller up. So all you could carry was a little bag and some change of underwear and maybe a change of khakis. And I can remember one weekend we were in Edmonton. We all went out to a Chinese dinner, which was the wrong thing to do. You don't eat Chinese food in Edmonton, Canada. Anyway, the next day we took off, because we drank a little bit that night. And, there were about four of us, and we all got the GI's [?]. And, I made an emergency landing at one of the strips there to relieve myself. And some of the pilots just had to relieve themselves in the cockpit, managed the best they could. And when we got together and discussed that, that was, there was more humor to that than anything else. That's one of the things I can remember. When you ferried the planes to Alaska, how did you get back from that station? Mr. Carella: They'd wait until they had maybe ten or fifteen or twenty, thirty pilots up there, then they'd send a DC-3 up, which was being flown by the airlines. They were converted, because there was not too much airline-flying going on, it was all under the control of the military. And the airline pilots would pick us up in these DC-3's, and herd us on board up in Fairbanks. A trip that took approximately seven to ten hours to deliver the airplanes up there, took ten to twenty hours to ferry us back, because of the speed. And the DC-3 was, even though we slept in sleeping bags and heavy clothing, they weren't airline type airplanes. They were just military aircraft, DC-3's, and the corrugated metal floors, and the bucket seats. And up in Alaska it would be ten or fifteen or twenty below zero. And it was hard to keep warm, very difficult. Some of us went to the parachute room and had hammocks made. We'd bring some, a couple bottles of Scotch up and give them to the parachute manufacturers up there, that worked in the hanger that kept the parachutes packed and reconditioned. And we paid him off and he'd make hammocks for us that we were able to string across from one window to the other with hooks. And at least we slept in hammocks to keep us off the floor. And then the military command said we couldn't use them, because in case of emergency, there was no, we were blocking the, the inside of the aircraft for people to bail out of. Of course, we didn't abide by that rule too much. But, that's what went on during those days. You made do, and did the best you could. And it wasn't too much regulation in those days, it's safety, we didn't abide too much by safety rules. We'd fly up in formation, wing tip to wing tip, come over an airfield, we'd spread them out in echelon, come down and buzz the airport at about two or three hundred feet, because we were all frustrated air transport pilots. We wanted to be in active duty and get into combat. And we'd make a big sweeping turn and come back and land in formation. And that's the way we'd kind of relieve some of our tension in those days, was by doing crazy things and taking a lot of crazy chances. What did you think of your middle officers and enlisted men? Mr. Carella: Oh, they were all fine. All supportive gentlemen. And every once in a while you found on oddball, but that could be, was to be expected. I guess a lot of people thought I was an oddball, too. But when you get a bunch of people from the city, from the farms, from the south and the north, and mix them all together, why, it's quite an interesting mixture of people. I think everything went along real fine. Did you keep a personal diary? Mr. Carella: No, I did not. Do you recall the day your service ended? Mr. Carella: Well, it was, I was discharged, and I was coming home from Weisbaden. We went to Hamburg, got on a liberty ship. That was the old kaiser ships that were being built with concrete and steel reinforcements, because they're quick to build. But they weren't very safe. They'd take a certain amount of pounding, and then they were known to crack. We got on one of these and took a, I think it was six and a half, seven days, to get back from Europe to the states. And we ran into some pretty bad weather. And I was assigned as a mess officer down in Hold #3, which was the third level down. And I went down there, and just the mixture of food -- and I'm not a very good sailor -- and the rocking of the ship, and I could see that I wasn't going to enjoy this. So I got a hold of the mess sergeant and I told him, you keep, everything's in your, you're in charge down here. You keep everything going, and I'll be upstairs, on the upper deck. If anything goes real bad, call me. And I'd, that was the last I saw the mess hall down in deck three. I went on topside and stayed in the officers' quarters and learned how to play bridge. That was my trip home. I hit Camp Bix, I was discharged. I got home, and went up to see my wife and daughter that I had never seen before. And I found out that they were shopping at the A\u0026P, my mother-in-law told me, so I walked around to the A\u0026P and walked in, and there she was with the baby. And, of course, that was quite a reunion, right in the A\u0026P. And, I was happy to be home. What did you do in the days and weeks immediately afterward? Mr. Carella: I was on a fireman's list in those days. And I went to get back into civilian life. I was offered various positions off the civil service list. One was a tunnel guard, to walk inside the tunnel at the Holland Tunnel, keep the traffic moving. And I, I couldn't see that. And then there was a bridge toll collector, and I didn't, I wouldn't enjoy that. And, waiting for a fireman's assignment. And I would have had two years seniority, because when I went on the list, being in the service, you automatically were eligible for seniority in those days. In the meantime, I bought my, used to be in the auto upholstery business. And I went back to work for my old boss. And he passed away and I was able to purchase his shop with the GI bill loan, and that's how I went to work on my own as an auto upholsterer. And that was what I did in those days, keep my family, a roof over their heads, and food in their bellies. Did you make any close friendships while in the service? Mr. Carella: I did while I was in the service. But once we were discharged we kind of drifted apart. I never, we never kept in touch. One or two people I did get to see. One guy was, worked up in Elmira in a casket company, and I stopped by to see him while I was in the reserves, on a reserves weekend. But other than that, I didn't keep in touch with anybody. Did you join any veterans' organizations? Mr. Carella: No. I'm not a joiner, believe it or not. Did your military experience influence your thinking about war or about the military in general? Mr. Carella: Yes, it did, and I'd rather not discuss it. How did your service and experiences affect your life? Mr. Carella: Well, you matured in a hurry in those days. And, as I say, you get different thoughts about, of course, our war was fought, because we were invaded. But, war in general is, to me, is not the answer. I know you have to do it sometimes, but, and like I say, I'd rather not go into it. You mentioned being in the reserves afterward, and some of the support that you did for…. Mr. Carella: Being self-employed I was able to spend quite a bit of time in the active reserves. Of course, we had a mandatory two weeks a year of active duty, and then one weekend a month. And, I would put in two or three weekends a month, and sometimes I'd go on thirty days active duty, because I could leave my shop when I felt like it. And it created quite a hardship on my wife to raise the family. I had two girls and a boy. But, she did a good job, I'm sure she did. And I got to see a lot of active duty time. And as I say, I retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. I'm going to celebrate my sixty-first wedding anniversary November 10, which is also the Marine birthday. So, I guess I'm a pretty lucky guy. Is there anything else you'd like to add? Mr. Carella: I can't keep talking, rambling. I'm not much of a speaker. I think I've said enough. Thank you….

Our recent conversations with you and others who gather enrollment data for the PCSSD reveal a problem that begs resolution before we can proceed further with our report. Last year, the district's pre-K students at Landmark and College Station initially were not included in the enrollment count provided to us, even though those students had been part of the count each previous year. Our inquiry revealed that the student assignment office had reasoned that children in HeadStart classes, which aren't funded by the district, shouldn't be included in the student tally. When I asked Dr. Henderson for clarification of the discrepancy last year, he made the decision to count the HeadStart students, so we again included them in our report. This year, we're aware that the numbers we've received from the PCSSD include the pre-K students at Landmark but not at College Station. I'm concerned about the apparent inconsistency in the figures provided us, not only among schools, but from one year to the next. The district is certainly free to change the way it counts its enrollment, but we ask that the superintendent be involved in making that decision. Please discuss this matter with Dr. Henderson, explaining your views of the pros and cons about including HeadStart students, since they affect racial balance as well as enrollment totals. If the district wishes to discontinue including HeadStart students in its count, we're perfectly willing to accept that decision and will simply make a note to that effect in our report. However, regardless of the district's chosen approach to counting students, I ask that it be consistent from one school to the next within any given year. Please notify us of your decision and provide us with recalculated numbers for all affected schools as soon as possible, as the lack of complete information is delaying our report. Thank you very much. cc: Karl Brown Don Henderson BG PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT November 18, 2003 VIA FACSIMILE AND US MAIL Mrs. Ann Marshall, Federal Monitor Office of Desegregation Monitoring One Union National Plaza 124 West Capitol, Suite 1895 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Dear Mrs. Marshall: 925 East Dixon Road/P.O.

Re: PCSSD 2003-04 Enrollment Numbers One Union National Plaza 124 West Capitol, Suite 1895 Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 (501) 376-6200 Fax (501) 371-0100 Via Fax Thank you for your prompt response to my request for clarification of the district's enrollment numbers in relation to pre-K students, specifically those enrolled in HeadStart, as well as for a consistent count from school to school and for appropriately revised numbers. The difference we note between the figures we received today and those previously provided is that the total number of students is 4 7 less than reported earlier: all 31 Pre-K students at Landmark no longer appear in the report and the count of pre-K students at Bates has shrunk by 16 (from 52 to 36). Your cover letter reads that, \"the District's position is not to include Pre-K Headstart students or students in the District's Pre-K program in the enrollment report.\" I've underlined the part of the statement that we find confusing, because the school-by-school figures still show the same pre-K enrollment at Adkins, Bates, Crystal Hill, Clinton, Harris, and Oak Grove elementaries. Do you intend to exclude all pre-K students or not? Do you consider that your October 1, 2003 enrollment is 18,205 or 18,475 (totals that appear on your latest set of figures) or some other number? Please furnish us the figures that accurately reflect the district's decision about its student count. Also, please briefly explain why the district has chosen to count--or not count--any or all pre-K students so we can make the appropriate notation in our report. Thank you. cc: Karl Brown Don Henderson 11/20/2003 17:23 5014901352 EQUITY PUPIL SERVICE PAGE 02/03 PULASKI COUNTY SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT November 20, 2003 VIA FACSIMILE AND US MAIL Mrs. Ann Marshall, Federal Monitor Office of Desegregation Monitoring 124 West Capitol Suite 1895 Little Rock, Arkansas 72.201 Dear Mrs. Marshall: 925 East Dixon Road/P.O. Box 8601 Little Rock, Arkansas 72216 www.pcssd.org (501) 490-2000 As stated in my previous letter, the District will not include Headstart students or PCSSD Pre-K students in the October 1 enrollment count. The total K-12 enrollment reported for October 1, 2003 is 18,205. The District receives no fu.nding from the state for Pre-K students. Therefore, those students are not included in the count provided to the Arkansas Department of Education. The Headstart program is not funded by the District. The staff, materialseverything needed to run the program-are funded by outside agencies. The only thing the District provides is building space. Therefore, those students are not included in the total enrollment reported to the state. The nine-page enrollment report, used for multiple purposes, identifies the total enrollment for grades K-12. Toe District Pre-K enrollment also appears on that report. You will note that the school's total including District Pre-K students is highlighted in yellow. The last line in each school section identifies the school total enrollment (Pre-K not included). Page nine is a summary of the District's student enrollment. Pre-K is again highlighted in yellow, for October 1, 2003. Please note the yellow highlight in ,the red framed box, which clearly states that Pre-K children are not included in the state's October 1, 2003 count. 11/20/2003 17:23 5014901352 EQUITY PUPIL SERVICE You raised questions regarding the changes in Landmark and Bates Pre--Kt otals. The Pre-K program at Landmark is not a District program\ntherefore, those 31 students are excluded from the revised report. Bates has two District Pre-K classes with a tot.al enrollment of 36 students. The 16 students excluded from the revised report are enrolled in a Headstart class. We appreciate your attention to the details of this report. Hopefully, this clears up any confusion regarding student enrollment.

In 2001-02, the district converted Fuller, Northwood, Robinson, and Sylv. Ji,' s j nior highs into middle schools, which moved most remaining elementary 6'h graders into middle schools and 9'h graders into senior highs. Some sc qols were not affected by the 2001-02 reorganization: Crystal Hill, Oak Grove, and Pine Forest elementaries continued serving grades K-6\nJacksonville Middle, grades 6-7\nJacksonville Junior, grades 8-9\nJacksonville High, grades 10-12\nand Oak Grove Junior/Senior High, grades 7-12. As a result of the reorganizations, some schools had population shifts in 1997-98, others changed in 2001-02, and a few schools were not affected at all by either reorganization. In the chart below, the symbol  denotes the year in which a school's student population was affected by the district's conversion to middle schools.

Each partnership utilizes the resources of both the school and the business for their mutual benefit. The following schools and businesses have completed the requirements necessary to establish a partnership and are actively working together to accomplish their objectives. We recommend that the Board approve the following partnerships: Chicot Elementary School and UAMS College of Nursing Dunbar Magnet Middle School and Fellowship Bible Church Fulbright Elementary School and Arvest Bank LRSD Middle and High Schools and Positive Atmosphere Reaches Kids (P.A.R.K.)

Have students from the Seminar class teach international games and provide international snacks to the home school elementary age students during their instruction time during Women's Bible Study on a weekday (or another group of Fellowship's choice). 2. Give individual students, representing a variety of cultures or a Dunbar advanced choral group, the opportunity to speak or perform for a gathering at the church (not on a Sunday morning). 3. Have members of the Garden Club, under the supervision of adult sponsors, weed and or plant in a designated garden area of the church to add beauty. 4. Have members of Y-T eens, under the supervision of Ms. Greenlee, participate in a service project at FBC (ex. cleaning out closets, baking, etc.). 5. Recognize Fellowship Bible Church as a Partner-in-Education in monthly school newsletters and at school functions. Fellowship Bible Church may: Building Use Support: 1. Make an area of the church available to the staff for their beginning of the year teambuilding, half-day meeting at no charge (Thursday, August 7 - 8:00- 12:30). Members of the church will also provide lunch for the staff that day, as well as a small gift (survival kits) for each staff member to express the value placed on them and the job they do. 2. Allow the mentors and mentees to use the FBC gym for several hours in January during their annual \"Fresh Start Field Trip\". Volunteers will be provided to assist with games and walklimbing, as well as to provide lunch. Mentoring/Teaching Support 3. Try to provide at least 15 mentors for students at the school. These mentors will hopefully include many who participated during the 2002-03 school year, as well as new mentors. Each mentor will make a commitment to meet with one student for 1 hour weekly to assist in tutoring, encouragement, accountability, and modeling a positive lifestyle. Experienced Fellowship mentors, in conjunction with VIPS (Volunteer's in Public Schools), will train and facilitate the mentors throughout the year. Recruitment and sign-up will be in August/September, the 2-hour training session will be in September, and mentoring will begin in October for new mentors and September for returning mentors. 4. Request that members of international short-term missions teams from the church speak to Social Studies and International Studies classes following their trips abroad, whenever possible. 5. Try to provide at least 10 counselors for the Abstinence-Based Education Program that will take place for 1 week during the school year. Volunteers will be small group leaders for a 1 %-hour session on 3 days. 6. Provide support and training for the fathers of Dunbar students, in conjunction with the Dads of Dunbar. This might be accomplished by small practical \"give-aways\" to dads during their monthly come-t~lunch dates and through 1 or 2 \"Dads of Dunbar nights\" at the schoo! where a 1 or 2-hour seminar on manhood o, fathering is provided by a teache, !D \".....'.

Physical Labor/Materials Support 7. Challenge members of the church to participate in several smaller-scale physically intensive projects chosen by the Dunbar administration during the SHAREFEST weekend in November. PARTICIPATION IN SHAREFEST IS YET TO BE DETERMINED, BASED ON THE ONGOING RENOVATION OF DUNBAR AND PRIOR SHAREFEST COMMITMENTS MADE BY FBC. 8.

Facility Services Directorate has a very complicated financial organization. Our personnel are responsible for maintaining our operational budgets, grant budgets, dedicated. millage budgets, and bond monies. At the start of the funding-cycles for the bond and the dedi.cate\u0026lt;l millage, we were given authority to hire additional financial persons to assist in the tracking of these large accounts. We interviewed a number of applicants\nbut, because we were unable to offer the salary that was necessary to secure a highly qualified person for the position, we went down our priority list and hired someone who appeared to be qualified. Within 10 months, this person resigned because of her inability to understand and execute the complexities of the District's funding-system. We recently re-advertised for this position. Since that re-advertisement, we have been successful in receiving forty~four applications\nand, after a lengthy review and intervi.ewprocess, we narrowed that number down to six. Our number-one-choice applicant 1s Mr. Roy Percy, whose resume' is attached. As may be seen by Mr. Percy's resume', be bas a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Business Administration. Be has an extensive accounting background\nand, through personal interviews, scrutiny of his resume', and limited background checks that we have conducted with persons with whom he is acquainted, we have found him to be extremely qualified. However, because of his background, and the extent of his experience, it is not possible for us to offer him a position that he would be willing to consider at the District's roaxnnum hire-level of 49-12. I feel that, in order for us to hire Mr. Percy, we must be able to offer him 49-15. I ask that you review his resume' and for your concurrence in our being able to make this offer to Mr. Percy.

Holmes, Interim Superintendent Title/Subject: 2002-03 Annual Report Summary: Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) Rules Governing Standards for Accreditation of Arkansas Public Schools, Standard 7.02.2, requires each school district to publish an annual report \"in a newspaper with general circulation in the district before November 15 of each school year, a report to the public detailing progress toward accomplishing program goals, accreditation standards, and proposals to correct deficiencies.\" Further, Standard 7.03.3.1 requires each school board, prior to November 15, to hold a public meeting to review and discuss its annual report. Objectives: To provide a summary of the information that will be included in the published 2002-03 annual report. Expected Outcomes: Budget Amt.: To raise public awareness of the district's activities and performance during the 2002-03 school year and to comply with ADE directives. Cost of publishing the annual report is about $8,600. Additional copies are printed for district use as a recruitment tool and information brochure during the school year. The summary of the annual report is provided. Major information categories in the report include academic performance and student discipline\nboth areas have been previously reported to the Board.

Despite many challenges, the 2002-03 school year was successful in terms of growth in many academic indicators. Student learning is, and will always be, the primary focus in our schools. Teachers continue to monitor closely student performance on key state and national achievement tests. Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, schools analyze student performance data based on specific subgroups, including race, limited-Englishproficient, free/ reduced lunch qualification and special education. While many schools experienced double-digit growth on the state Benchmark Exams, in some cases a subgroup performance might have resulted in a school being placed on school improvement. In other cases, if a school made its required improvement during the year, it remained on the school improvement list because two consecutive years of mandated growth are required for a school to be removed from the list. We are working diligently with schools that are on school improvement in order to provide the necessary resources for teachers and administrators to improve students' academic achievement. Construction continues at schools throughout the city. Many major projects, such as Hall High, are complete, while others, such as Williams, are just beginning. Students, teachers and parents have been patient as they have \"lived through\" renovations in their buildings. Entire classes have been relocated during the process at some campuses, but the end result is worth the disorder as upgraded facilities contribute to a more appropriate and functional teaching and learning environment. The declaration last fall by U.S. District Judge Bill Wilson that the Little Rock School District is unitary in all areas except program evaluation was appealed to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments have been held, and the district awaits the court's decision. Work continues in the final area in which the district must comply with its Revised Desegregation and Education Plan. That piece, program evaluations, is being finalized and will be submitted to Judge Wilson in the spring of 2004. The district has updated its Strategic Plan. This work, done by more than 100 community residents working in six major areas, will help to guide the district's direction in the next five years. I look forward to assisting district staff, business and civic leaders, parents and others this school year. The challenges facing our students are great and cannot be overstated. However, I believe that this community has put its support into our schools, and teachers, staff and students will benefit from knowing that public education is highly valued in our city.

Interim Superintendent\n,o a, m -n\n,o c:m Zen !20 zrc, C: a,~ 00 ~\na\n: en ?-~ o\n,,\n,o(\") C: ::z:: c,o m-\u0026lt;,o- -~m en z\n,o C) s ~(\")\n,om ~en Academic Achievement One of the primary issues facing school districts across the state and nation is student academic achievement as measured by accepted examinations. There are two types of exams administered to students-\u0026lt;:riterion-referenced exams and normreferenced exams. Criterion-referenced exams measure student achievement on a specific curriculum or base of knowledge. In the case of students in the Little Rock School District, the Arkansas Benchmark Exam is the criterion-referenced test that students take. It measures how well students are learning the mandated Arkansas standards. As of the 2002-03 school year, the Benchmark Exam was required for students in grades 4, 6 and 8. It also is required as an End-of-Course test for students who take Algebra and Geometry, and all 11 th grade students must take the End-of-Course Literacy Benchmark Exam. LRSD students recorded some significant increases at many schools on the Benchmark Exams. Benchmark results presented here indicate the percentage of students who perform at the proficient and advanced levels. There are no national comparisons on the Benchmark Exam since it an Arkansas-developed and -administered test. Grade 4 Literacy African-American White LRSD 53 90 Arkansas 46 77 Grade4 Math African-American White LRSD 35 82 Arkansas 38 76 Grade 6 Literacy African-American White LRSD 13 49 Arkansas 14 37 Grade 6 Math African-American White LRSD 8 54 Arkansas 12 50 Grade 8 Literacy African-American White LRSD 28 68 Arkansas 25 57 Grade 8 Math African-American White LRSD 4 52 Arkansas 5 33 Algebra African-American White LRSD 15 60 Arkansas 18 54 Geometry African-American White LRSD 17 63 Arkansas 11 47 11 th Grade Literacy African-American White LRSD 20 71 Arkansas 19 57 ~?I ..,\n,o c: m ZCJ\u0026gt; !20 zrC\u0026gt; C: a,::::! 00 z~ C (/) Norm-referenced exams compare student academic performance to that of a national \"norm group\" of students who took the same test. This allows a district to see how its students are doing compared to others, regardless of the specific curriculum taught in school. Students in Arkansas must take the Stanford Achievement Test, ninth edition, as a norm-referenced exam. Stanford Achievement Exam results are stated as a percentile. For example, a percentile rank of 72 means that these students did as well or better than 72 percent of the students in the norm group who took the same exam. African-American students in the LRSD were within 1 or 2 points of their counterparts in the state at every grade level. White students in the LRSD scored 9 - 17 percentile points ahead of their peers on the Stanford Achievement Test. Grade 5 African-American White LRSD 35 72 Arkansas 37 62 Grade 7 African-American White LRSD 35 73 Arkansas 37 64 Grade 10 African-American White LRSD 30 72 Arkansas 31 55 Another exam that allows comparisons with students across the nation is the ACT college entrance exam. The district's composite ACT score climbed from 19.0 in 2001-02 to 19.5 in 2002-03. Disaggregated scores are: LRSD Arkansas Nation African-American 17.1 16.7 16.9 White 23.0 21.1 21.7 Students in the LRSD showed significant progress in many areas of all of these exams in 2002-03. When scores are disaggregated and comparisons made both within Arkansas and to other students nationally, LRSD students perform quite well. Looking at the scores for the district, state and nation on all three exams, there is an achievement gap that can be accounted for, in part, by poverty. With more than 50 percent of its students who qualify for the free and reduced lunch program, the LRSD continues to focus on methods to help students who are not performing well on standardized exams. Academic achievement remains the LRSD's top priority.\n:o 0:, m .,,\n:o c: m !z2 \"0 ' zrc, C: 0:, ::::! 00 z~ C \"' -~ 0:,\n:o ~\ng Cr- ZO C)-\u0026lt; ),,\nJ0 nm 0:, s -\"o\"' '-z ~\"' ~ \u0026gt; What About Schools on the School Improvement List? Readers of the local newspaper may wonder why, with LRSD student scores ahead of the state and nation in many areas on required exams, there are several schools on the state's school improvement list. There are several answers to this question. There are some schools in the LRSD which have shown significant improvement on the Benchmark Exam, but they have not reached the level of improvement (Adequate Yearly Progress, or \"A YP\") required by the state. Not only must the entire school meet the A YP, but subpopulations, such as limited-English-proficient students, students who qualify for free/reduced lunch and special education students, must meet the same A YP as all other students. Also, once a school is on the school improvement list, it must meet A YP for two consecutive years to be removed from the list. Some LRSD schools did meet A YP this year, but remain on the list until they meet A YP for a second year. All schools on school improvement, indeed all LRSD schools, continue to look closely at test results to determine areas in which to concentrate lessons in order to help students learn the necessary course material and to improve academic performance in the future. What steps are being taken to assist students in schools on the school improvement list? Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, students in schools on school improvement receive supplemental services and school choice options, depending on which year of school improvement the school is placed. The LRSD offers supplemental services, which consists of tutoring by a provider selected by the Arkansas Department of Education, to students in year two of school improvement. All schools in alert status or on the school improvement list develop their school improvement plan to include proven strategies to help students build skills and knowledge in literacy and mathematics. Professional development activities in these schools are geared toward improving teacher preparation to address identified student needs. Principals of LRSD schools on the improvement list are encouraged to work with principals of schools that have scored well on the Benchmark Exam in order to duplicate successful strategies. Advanced Placement Enrollment In order to improve academic achievement, the LRSD encourages students to take challenging courses. One way to do this is through enrollment in Advanced Placement (AP) classes at the high school level. AP courses are very rigorous and meet national guidelines in terms of curriculum and college preparation. Students in AP classes may take the national AP exams in the spring. Those students who earn at least a 3 on the national AP exam may, in most cases, earn college credit for these classes. The LRSD has worked with teachers, counselors, students and parents to increase student enrollment in AP classes. To that end, we have been successful. The accompanying chart shows the increase in AP class enrollment in LRSD high schools during the past few years. Since the 1997-98 school year, there has been more than 20 percent annual growth in the number of students enrolled in AP classes and a total growth during that time of more than 100 percent.

Foundation Provides $100,000 in Teacher Grants It wasn't Ed McMahon delivering the Publishers' Clearing House grand prize, but it was just as exciting for many teachers and principals in the Little Rock School District. April 2 was the day the Public Education Foundation of Little Rock delivered 32 grants totaling nearly $100,000 throughout the district. Foundation members, donors, city dignitaries, LRSD School Board members and others boarded three school buses to personally deliver balloon bouquets and grant checks to surprised teachers! Each grant met certain criteria, whether it was targeting student achievement, parent involvement or improving teacher quality.

Student assignment priority will be given to the Attendance Zone student. Recommendations to establish, modify or alter attendance zone boundaries will include consideration of the operational needs of the school system.

The Student Assignment Plan includes attendance zone school precedence and educational choice options that maintain student diversity to the extent practicable. Providing students and their families with school choice is a key component of the assignment plan. School Choice is viewed as a healthy method of providing opportunity for students to take advantage of unique curriculum offerings, special emphasis and program activities. Procedures will be established that enable students to make application to enroll in a school outside of their designated attendance zone. Initial registration begins during a two-week open enrollment period scheduled the first two months of the calendar year. Parents and students will be informed of available options. ATTENDANCE ZONE SCHOOLS - Students are assigned to the designated attendance zone school by their recorded residence. During the open enrollment period, priority will be provided to attend the attendance zone school site. STIPULATION/ ORIGINAL MAGNET SCHOOLS were created in 1987. Seats are reserved for students in the Little Rock School District, North Little Rock School District (NLRSD) and Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD). Each district conducts an application process and assigns students to these schools. SPECIAL TY MAGNET SCHOOLS with \"themed\" or \"specialty\" programs have coursework that supplements the regular curriculum. They are available to students seeking school options or choices outside of their attendance zone schools. These specialty programs are sited at schools that also serve as attendance zone schools. Students from PCSSD may participate in these specialty programs as M-to-M transfer students. If the number of out of zone applicants exceed the number of program seats available, a weighted random assignment process will be used to identify those students who will be assigned. Criteria indicators considered in the weighted random process include the student's race, achievement test performance and economic status indicated by eligibility for free and reduced lunch. M-to-M Transfer program is a collaborative effort between the LRSD and PCSSD, which allows students school choice across district boundaries if certain criteria are met.\n:o a, m -n\n:o c:m ZC/\u0026gt; Sz!ro C) C: a,:::! 00 z?\nC C/) 0 C 0 z ~ 0z C/) c\n,,\n:o(\") C: :z: ~8 m,- !!lC/\u0026gt; -m Z\n:o C) s \"'0(\")\n:om ~C/) LITTLE ROCK SCHOOL DISTRICT NEPN CODE: JCA ( continued) NCLB Transfers available to students in schools identified by the Arkansas Department of Education as \"low-performing\".

Act 624, Act 762 and Act 609/School Choice Transfers are Arkansas statuts' which are available to students who wish to transfer across school district boundaries. Transfer No Transportation (TNT) Transfers permit students to attend a school other than their attendance zone school if space is available after a certain number of seats are set aside or \"reserved\" for attendance zone students and if the parent / guardian assumes responsibility for the student's transportation. If demand exceeds available space, the priority will be to promote diversity.

An LRSD administrator who has a reasonable suspicion that an employee under his or her supervision is guilty of abuse and/or untimely use of alcohol or abuse and/or untimely use of controlled substances and/or drugs may require the employee to undergo a drug and/or alcohol test. Reasonable suspicion may be based, among other things, on an employee's observed behavior which is indicative of drug or alcohol use, reports from a reliable source of suspected drug use of possession, or the employee's admission of possession or use of drugs and/or alcohol. B. The administrator will follow the following process in cases where the administrator reasonably suspects abuse and/or untimely use of alcohol or abuse and/or untimely use of controlled substances and/or drugs: 1. Solicit an explanation from the employee for any behavior which creates a reasonable suspicion of a violation of this program. 2.

Barry Nakell, a professor of law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, remembers traveling to Robeson County in the mid-1970s to help the Lumbees, and a splinter group, the Tuscarora, save a historic building and strike down so-called double voting. Double voting allowed city residents in Robeson County to vote for both city and county school board, giving city elites unusual control over county schools, where most Native American children studied. Nakell succeeded in defeating the system before a United States Circuit Court. He believes that once Native Americans took more control over their education system, their most prominent citizens were freed to agitate for more rights and protections. Nakell's intervention sparked an interest in legal solutions to civil rights issues, and a steady stream of Lumbee Native Americans began earning degrees at the UNC School of Law so they could return home and advocate for other Native Americans.","The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata."],"dc_format":["text/html","text/xml","audio/mpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["Forms part of Oral histories of the American South collection."],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":null,"dcterms_subject":["Lumbee Indians--Civil rights","North Carolina--Race relations--20th century","Robeson County (N.C.)--Race relations","Civil rights--North Carolina","Lawyers--North Carolina","Civil rights movements--North Carolina--History--20th century","Civil rights movements--North Carolina--Robeson County","Indians of North America--North Carolina--Robeson County","Indians of North America--Civil rights--North Carolina--History--20th century","Robeson County (N.C.)--History--20th century","Civil rights--North Carolina--Robeson County","Lawyers--North Carolina--Robeson County","Lumbee Indians--North Carolina--Robeson County","Tuscarora Indians--North Carolina--Robeson County","Indians of North America--North Carolina--Robeson County--Ethnic identity--20th century","Indians of North America--Civil rights--North Carolina--Robeson County","African Americans--North Carolina--Robeson County--Relations with Indians--20th century"],"dcterms_title":["Oral history interview with Barry Nakell, October 1, 2003"],"dcterms_type":["Text","Sound"],"dcterms_provenance":["University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
