    Transcript of oral history interview with Joseph Waters Gladstone/ Maplewood Fire Department, 1980-2007 by Kate Cavett of HAND in HAND Productions and Bob Jensen, President, Maplewood Area Historical Society for the Maplewood Area Historical Society December 16, 2013 at HAND in HAND Productions’ office in Saint Paul, Minnesota 1 © Maplewood Area Historical Society 2014 This project has been made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society. All pictures are from the Waters family and Maplewood Area Historical Society 2 ORAL HISTORY Oral History is the spoken word in print. Oral histories are personal memories shared from the perspective of the narrator. By means of recorded interviews oral history documents collect spoken memories and personal commentaries of historical significance. These interviews are transcribed verbatim and minimally edited for accessibility. Greatest appreciation is gained when one can listen to an oral history aloud. Oral histories do not follow the standard language usage of the written word. Transcribed interviews are not edited to meet traditional writing standards; they are edited only for clarity and understanding. The hope of oral history is to capture the flavor of the narrator’s speech and convey the narrator’s feelings through the timbre and tempo of speech patterns. An oral history is more than a family tree with names of ancestors and their birth and death dates. Oral history is recorded personal memory, and that is its value. What it offers complements other forms of historical text, and does not always require historical corroboration.

    December 2014 Volume 53 Issue 12 Presidents notes N1EZH Barry Kennedy Presidents Monthly Message for December 2014 from Barry – N1EZH: Please Note: There will NOT be a December MARA Monthly Meeting! Winter is almost upon us and judging from the weather, may be a long one this year! I was able to basically trade my Tipper Mount and masts that were for a 39’ Rohn 25G Tower that I may only put up about 29’ with a tilt over of some sort which I hope to be able to clean up, paint and put up in the Spring. With the additional Rotor and mast for the antennas will be about 36’ or so tall when I am done. This will make it a few feet higher than my old one from a couple of years ago before the storm took it down. If anyone else in our club has done a project this year, or may be planning one either during the Winter or next Spring, then please take some photos and submit them to Rick – [email protected] so he can put them in our MARA Newsletter. For those of you that are on Facebook, I began a Massasoit Amateur Radio Association Facebook Page and have posted several items of interest on there. I have been updating the page with Club Events, photos, etc.from time to time in the hope that it will become another avenue for us in which to spark interest in our club and keep members informed of what we are doing outside of our Club Meetings and in our Community.

    Volume XXII No. 32 Hometown Newspaper for Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Glen Head, Glenwood, Locust Valley and Brookville Week of 4/11/13 75C Volunteers Battle Multiple Fires In Week by Kevin C. Horton The Glen Cove Fire Department, aided by neighboring departments and Glen Cove EMS had a very active week battling large fires, burning cars, and building fires. On Saturday March 30 at 1:45am the Glen Cove Volunteers were alerted to a “signal 8,” an unknown type of fire at Ellwood Street and Valentine Street. Ac- cording to second assistant Chief Philip Grella Jr, Tom Kenary, Glen Cove Fire Dispatcher #4 received multiple calls for a big fire on Valentine Street so he upgraded the alarm to a General Alarm, “Possible house fire,” at 26 Coles Street. Firefighter and next door neighbor Robert “Rabbit” Budzenski saw that the rear of the next door neighbor’s house was on fire and two occupants were on the porch roof. He asked if anyone else was in the house and they stated no. Budzenski then got a ladder from his garage as 3rd assistant Chief Robert Marino arrived a the scene and declared the fire a “Signal 10,” a working house fire. Firefighter Budzenski put his ladder up and escorted the homeowners down unhurt and safe. Chief Joseph Solomito arrived right behind Chief Marino and set up com- continued on page 2 Firefighters battle the blaze on Coles Street (photos by Michael Marino) For the safety North Shore Relay for Life sets 2013 Fundraising Goal at $200,000!
