  • Interview Transcript
    Transcription: Richard Overton ________________________________________________________________ First of all good morning, and thank you for letting us be here today to interview you. It’s an honor for us and for our program. I want to start by letting folks listening or watching that today is Thursday, September 12th, 2013. My name is James Crabtree and you are Mr. Richard Overton, and we are at your home in Austin, Texas. So that way anybody listening to this knows when and where we did this interview. Sir, thank you again for letting us be here. The first question I always like to ask veterans is please tell us a little bit about your childhood and your life before you went into the military Richard Overton: Well, I’ll tell you I was out in the country then. Where were you born? Richard Overton: I was born out between Bastrop and Lockhart, at the same area Conn is. Did you grow up on a farm or did you grow up in town? Richard Overton: I started growing up in the country, and left there and went to Taylor. After that I went to Dallas. Did you come from a large family? Did you have a lot of siblings? Richard Overton: I had six sisters and four brothers. I was the fourth brother, and all dead except me. What was it like having that many siblings? Richard Overton: It was lovely, but I had to take care of ‘em. My daddy died way back in the 20s I think, somewhere back in there. But anyway, I had to take care of my mother and the other family.
