Levin, and we’re doing it here in his office in Pensacola. The address is 316 South Baylen Street, Suite 600, Pensacola 32501. Fred, the first thing I’d like you to do, if you will, is to give me your full name. L: It’s Fredric Gerson Levin. P: Was it always spelled Fredric that way? Never with a “K”? L: Never with a “K.” P: Where does the Gerson come from? L: I’m really not sure. P: Family? L: I’m really not sure. It was always a funny name to me, and back early, I think even when I did my Social Security [card], I was so embarrassed by the Gerson name [that] I put on my Social Security card “Fred George Levin.” P: You gave yourself a new middle name. L: A new middle name, but then eventually it got straightened out. The “Fredric” was spelled the way Fredric March, my mother told me that she liked that way. P: I like saying him, too. What’s your birth date? L: March 29, 1937. P: March 29 is my birthday. I didn’t realize that you and I had something we could celebrate together. Where were you born? L: I was born in Pensacola. P: Tell me your parents’ names. L: They were Rose Lefkowitz Levin and Abraham Ivan Levin. P: Where was your mother born? UFLC 75 Page 2 L: At some points I hear it’s Danville, Virginia or High Point, North Carolina.
