MARIAN ERSKINE GRAUVOGEL page 9 LD: Did he stay a pipefitter and plumber working for C. B. Brown's? MG: For awhile he went to Reinhart's. He quit C. B. Brown and worked for Mose Reinhart for years and was still a plumber. When my dad got in legal trouble with the bank, it was Mose Reinhart and the Masons that kept him out of jail. Did you know Lucille Erskine? Mona Ellifritz's mother. Lucille is my step­ mother. My dad married her and then I had Larry and then she had Mona and then I had Lyle. She was wonderful. Lucille was a dear friend for 62 years. LD: Of course. And she was a wonderful waitress. MG: Yes. She was remarkable. She was awful good to me. And the fact that we were having babies at the same time. You know that was a very strong tie. She was 92 when she died. Her name was Kleckner. She was born on a ranch in Elko and then she and her sister were looking for jobs. At one time going to San Francisco and Seattle was a good place to get a job, and it was exciting so they went over there. LD: Was Mona the only child your father and Lucille had? MG: Yes. One was a still-born boy. Before that Lucille didn't have any children until she married my dad. Oh she wanted a baby and they had this little boy. My dad was a lot older than she was. It was heartbreaking for Lucille to lose the baby. She had been married in California. Her folks were all in Elko so she came back here. She worked in the Hotel Humboldt for many years. LD: So she earned the household money from being a waitress? MG: Yes. She was the sharpest lady. I don't know how she did it. She would get these tips and she'd save them. She had a sense of values. She'd pick up a house that nobody else would live in and six months later she would have it ready to rent. My dad worked like that too. LD: Then you and Donald finished school here and went all through these school systems? MG: Yes. What else was there? (laughter) LD: Who were some of your friends that you went to school with? What year would you have graduated? MG: '34. Let's see. Pauline O'Carroll. She and I were buddies. Vera and page 10 Verna Bullis. Emilie Dillon came in from Golconda for high school. Jim Callahan and Leland Pearce. He was a very close friend of my family. Harold Egoscue. Willy Arbonies. Gil Prida. LD: You would walk to grammar school? MG: By that time we lived close to school. It was two blocks. LD: Do you remember some of your favorite teachers? MG: We had the most marvelous school, and it showed. People prospered. My grandmother was on the school board for 25 years. Mary A. Erskine. See they use to have two boards. They had a high school and they had a grade school. She was getting a little senile. My first grade teacher also came to my retirement. Bessie Sanders. She was from here. Second grade, Mrs. Watts, Third grade was Mrs. Pike, and the First grade was Jenny Smith. These people taught for years and years and years. LD: You knew who you were going to have then each grade? MG: Yes. LD: Was there a separate Indian school when you were going to school? MG: Yes. It's still here. The building is here. There was an Indian school in back of us in the old Grammar School. When they built the new grammar school in 1927 they abolished that and brought the Indian kids into regular classes. LD: Did you play with any of them and were friends with them? MG: Sure. They had a different recess, though I did know some of them. Once they came into our big school, yes. During adolescense I didn't have any prejuditions. I didn't know what that was. We had some black people. Robinsons were wonderful. Adelle Robinson, I just loved her. Well, one of the best people I've ever known. Talented family. LD: Did you ever know a lady named Grandma Mims? MG: Yes. Tall. I'd forgotten about her too. LD: In grammar school did you have a talent for music? MG: Oh well, I had a talent for music when we lived in Reno and I was four page II years old and my mother took me to a silent picture. "Little Old New York", I think that was the name of it and I think Marion Davies was in it. The organist played the Blue Danube Waltz and I was just going out of my head, and she said, "Quiet Down". I told her when we got out of the theater, "What was that song?" And she said, "Oh I can sing that." And all the way home she sang that Blue Danube Waltz. I kept at her and I kept at her till I finally got a record of it. All of these people in my family sang and danced. That's the first time I think music really hit me as something ethereal. My mother said, "I got so tired of that darned song." She knew a lot of the words and I couldn't remember the words, (laughter) Then my grandparents were very musical and when we went to live with them they had a piano and they had one of these old crank up record players you know. All kind of music. Good classical music. LD: I wonder how they acquired that taste. MG: I talked to other teachers or musicians and they say that what you hear as a very young child is the music you are going to remember. One time I was with Emmy, she's my daughter-in-law, and this man was a janitor and a black man. He was cleaning up in that part of the building and he sat down at a piano and he started to play jazz. Gee. So I told Emmy, "I just love that." She said, "I'll introduce you. You listen to him. He's good." She said he works nights playing in one of the hotels. So he later was going through all this improvation in jazz and I said, "You know I have tried for years and years to do that and I don't get it." I watched his big, black hands and I thought I can't believe this. He said, "Well what kind of music did you hear when you were very young." I said, "Classics." He said, "Not only that, but you're the wrong color." He said, "I heard jazz from all the time I can remember, so improvisation was already there." LD: How long ago was this? MG: Oh three or four years. Emmy was very active in the Oakland Museum for awhile. She was into a lot of things in the Bay Area. She's an artist, a craftsman, a decorator. That's Larry's wife. LD: Let's go back to your grammar school teachers. MG: O.K. The fourth grade was Mrs. Leach, the fifth grade was Ethel Kibbee. And then we had in the seventh grade a man. Mimi was on the school board so she would invite these people to dinner. Oh she was swanky. This teacher I just loved. He was so handsome and I was in the seventh grade, (laughter) I picked up the nickname of Pete or Peter and I didn't like it. The teachers always called me Marian. The kids called me "Pete" One time he was talking to the seventh grade class and he said, page 12 "Now did you get that Pete?" And the romance was over. That was the last year he taught school. Did you know Wendell Vine? He came from Iowa. This was Stanley's brother. He finally taught in Elko. Ethel Kibbee taught school for 51 years. LD: Was she a good teacher? MG: Oh my gosh. She was out of this world. LD: How about principals? MG: When I entered school here there were two men, a principal and a vice-principal. This was in the old building, and they got in trouble for being too hard on the kids. They got fired and a fellow named Roger Corbett was real young and he came. That was the year they wanted to work on getting a bigger school, which finally was opened in 1927. LD: How about clothes Marian? Were your clothes homemade, or store- bought? MG: Mostly homemade. LD: By your grandmother? MG: Yes. And I learned to sew when I was very young. That's what you did. LD: People told me they didn't have a lot of clothes. MG: No. But of course my mother kept sending me clothes and I had my grandparents getting me clothes. I wanted to learn to sew and my grand­ mother had an old sewing machine, although for that time it was very good. She helped me. Pauline O'Carroll's mother was very good and I used to hang out there a little bit to watch her sew.

  • Half Way Down the Trail to Hell
    Half Way Down The Trail To Hell A Wartime Remembrance in Three Parts By Stephen E. Kirkland i Prologue “The danger, being around veterans, the memories are so selective and so heroic that you’ve got to be careful talking to a guy like me.” George Herbert Walker Bush A while back I discovered the Library of Congress is conducting a program called The Veterans History Project. The mission of the project is the collection and preservation of veteran’s wartime recollections and documents before they are lost forever. Like many wartime veterans, I concentrated on getting on with my life. I needed a job that would allow me to marry, buy a house and raise a family. I didn’t feel anything I had experienced in Vietnam would contribute to these goals, and I felt that, for the most part, people who hadn’t served didn’t know or even care what I had seen or done. The country’s attitude was different than with the Gulf War veterans and I deflected the few inquires that were made, especially the ones that contained the words “Did ya’ kill anybody?” I was too busy dealing with the present to spend a lot of time staring into the past. Now, almost four decades after returning home, the time has come to look back and try to recreate a piece of personal history, albeit history filtered though my water colored memories. I’ve relied on a number of sources for this remembrance, not the least of which were letters that I wrote home.

  • Janet Marie Sullivan
    They are the best accomplishments of my life – my three children- Kathryn, Kim, and Chris. Janet Marie Sullivan A great deal of time and a great deal of love went into two other pursuits of Janet’s life. Her care and love of patients in the nursing profession lasted for over thirty years. Her interest in everything historical brought her to historical preservation. Janet Marie Sullivan Interviewer: Today is October 6, 2008. My name is Suzanne Willis and we are interviewing Janet Sullivan who has just told me that her full name is Janet Marie Sullivan. One of the reasons we wanted to interview you, besides your being an interesting person, is because this project by HFFI was established to record various community leaders’ involvement with historic preservation. Since you are one who does a great deal, we want to do an in-depth interview. Janet Sullivan: That would be great. Interviewer: Let us start with you first. What date were you born? Janet Sullivan: The date was December 30, 1942 during the war. My father (Woodrow Wilson Jones) had gone into the service and he was not here for my birth. He served on a mine sweeper, the USS Smythe, and he made about four crossings on the Atlantic side and then was sent to the Pacific. He went into Borneo and then into Japan. Interviewer: He wouldn’t have seen you until when? Janet Sullivan: I don’t know when he saw me. There are pictures of him holding me, so he must have come home between the Atlantic and Pacific crossings and I must have been a year old at that time.

  • 1 the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project Labor Series ERIC KOCHER Interviewed
    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project Labor Series ERIC KOCHER Interviewed by: Morris Weisz Initial interview date: October 14, 1995 Copyright 2014 ADST [Note: This interview was not edited by Mr. Kocher] Q: Today is Saturday, October 14, 1995 and this is Morris Weisz for the Labor Diplomacy Oral History Project. I’m sitting in the pleasant home on Long Island of Eric Kocher, one of our former Labor Attachés, whom I‘m interviewing today and haven’t seen for many, many years, probably at least 35-40. Eric will be telling us about his career and the special reference to his work as a Labor Attaché and how that impacted, if at all, upon his career later on, other than as a Labor Attaché. Q: Eric I wonder if I can get you to begin by telling us your background, your social, political, if you wish, education? Where were you born? KOCHER: Well I happen to have been born in a place called Trinidad, British West Indies. That took place 1912, just before World War I. My father was a German in British territory so that as soon as war was declared, and Germany was at war with England, we were all thrown in a POW camp. Q: Interned? KOCHER: That’s right, interned, at least my father was for four, four and a half years. It was pretty hard on him with a new family, and at the end of that, after the British had taken most of our property they said, “Alright.

  • A Conversation with the Architects of the Philly Sound, Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff Scott Paton
    Unedited version of Goldmine cover story, Issue #737, Oct. 28, 2008 A conversation with the architects of the Philly Sound, Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff Scott Paton A step into the lobby at 309 S. Broadway in Philadelphia is a step back into time. The gilded, gated doors close as the elevator operator punches the button for the second floor. Moments later, the pulleys and cable come to a stop, and the doors open on to a lobby and offices that seem frozen in time, some 30-odd years ago. To the casual observer, a professional makeover might be in order. But to a fan of early-‘60s pop or ‘70s soul music, the surroundings are resplendent in their untouched glory, a virtual shrine to two creative, indelible eras in recorded history. The home of Cameo-Parkway Records from 1956 to 1967, this building drew aspiring songwriters, from near and far, hoping to pitch their tunes to the likes of Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell and the Orlons. Among those young hopefuls were poet/lyricist Kenneth Gamble and keyboardist extraordinaire Leon Huff, and while their early attempts to “storm the castle” were often thwarted, they ultimately ascended to become the preeminent writer/producers on the local scene, and the most important force in R&B/Soul music since the heyday of Motown Records. In 1972, they purchased the building for their own enterprise, Philadelphia International Records. As architects of “the Philly Sound”, Gamble & Huff crafted sophisticated funk classics for the O’Jays, Harold Melvin & the Blues, Teddy Pendergrass, the Intruders, Lou Rawls and others that ushered in the Disco Era, setting a standard for dance- friendly, yet lyrical songcraft, that remains unmatched.

A., Kansas State University, 197 A MASTER'S THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 1979 Spsc Calf. ID .Tt \11i 0+7 C.X CONTEXTS Chapter Cne, "Granny" 1 Chapter Two, "...The Mother We Respected .... 29 Chapter Three, "A Great Woman With a Great Heart 47 Chapter Pour, An Anatomy of Greatness 59 Selected Bibliography 76 ELEANOR ROOSEVELT PORTRAIT OP A LEADER Chapter One "Granny" The purpose of this study is the examination of the personality of Eleanor Roosevelt: to describe and analyze her role as a mother, to demonstrate the sources and re- sults of her actions, and to suggest that her public activities were a response to an overwhelming personal sense of inadequacy. It is a story of "coping" with a harsh and severe emotional life, and of the means chosen to compensate for this. But most of all it is a story of motherhood, of the heritage of parenting, from which there is rarely any escape. This examination of the evolution of a pathetically shy, homely, insecure girl, into the most widely recognized female leader of the United States, leads to an understanding of the motivations and needs of the future reformer. To begin the study of Eleanor, it is necessary to look first to the people who had such a profound effect upon the formation of her personality. These were her parents and her grandparents, particularly her maternal grandmother Mary Hall, who raised the child from the age of eight, after the deaths of her parents.

We’re at Charlie’s home in La Grande, and [uh] the first question I have would be—what incidents have you run into related to your legal practice, which goes from 1939-79 in La Grande? CC: Well, I came here in 1939. I didn’t really know anybody here. All I knew is that I liked the country. I had been exposed to eastern Oregon when I worked during summer vacations, when I was in the university. [uh] [uh] RB: University of …? CC: [uh] Well, [laughs], It is not a secret. [laughs] It’s Willamette University. RB: O.k. CC: And I had come over here on work crews for the highway department, several places, and I loved the eastern Oregon country. So, when I had an opportunity to come up here, and somebody brought me up, I came here, and I have never left, except to take trips to go hunting or fishing or to go to California in the spring when the grass is green down there and before it starts here [laughs].
