The service w~s brief but impressive. Mrs. Mary Alice Dearning of the Bulletin Board Committee presented the key to Y.iI'. John Babbage of the Trustee Board who in turn passed it to Rev. Robinson. The latter gave it to Mr. William Hughes, chairman of the Church Council who accepted it on be half of the church. The pastor made challenging dedicatory remarks to the congregation. Mr. Lyman T. '-Tohnson, Chairman of the Deacon Board gave the closing prayer. On the after noon of the same day from 4 to 6 p.m., Rev. and Jlrrs. Robinson gave a reception in honor of their first-born Patricia Lei and her husband Mr. Julius Hobson who had married during their Thanksgiving holiday in Washington where both a~tend college. The presence of the maternal and paternal grandmothers of the bride added to the pleasure of the occasion. The women of the church were especially glad t hat the lower auditorium which they had so recently redecorated was the scene of t::.e affair. Mrs. Alferna Bryant wore a broad smile on her face at Sunday morning worship on December 21. The reason was not hard to guess, her son James Bryant, though not ye t in Louisville had arrived in this country from Vietnam. On the next afternoo:1> December 22, the Sunday School Christmas party took place. As usual it was a ge.la a::fair, reflecting the ingenuity of Mesdames Wise and Griffin and others of the Su..~day School teachers. The climax of the Yuletide Season was the Christmas Eve program of Music of tb.e d..:Chri stmas Season which was culminated with a candlelight service as the hour of ·-m~~ 0.·:,~~~ht ushered in Christmas of 1970. Mr. -Mayfield, organist and chorister ,and the c:.:.o:Lr along with some guests were magnificent, reflecting meticulous training. There was yet another cause for pride in the Plymouth parish. This was the fact that in the list of performers in The Nut Cracker presented at the Brown Theater on ;)ecember 29 and 30 was the name of l'liariellen Dreher, young ballet dancer. Of course her parents were proud of their daughter. Why wouldn 1 t they be? Missed from the Christmas musicale were Dr. and :M.rs. Lloyd Alexander and Mrs. Mary Alice Dearing and her daughter Frances. They were joined by David Dea:', t,~•. · wit;:1 "l. student at Yale, in Miami and spent their holidays on a Caribbean Cruise. ~be exception of David who returned to New Haven, the party came home refreshed ar.d. :.:-elaxed. Present at the service of Sunday morning January 5 was Attorney Starks of No1'.'folk, Virginia, grandson of .Mrs. J. A. Starks and son of Mr. Gordon Starks alf::i a Plymouth member befQre he moved to Virginia. Also in the audience were Mesdames Hackett and Brown o·f North Carolina; mother and sister respectively of Mrs. Pearl Herring. Rev~ Robinson was in Geneva, Indiana, attending a conference on January 6 and 7. He later attended a retreat on January 21. On Friday, January 23, Plymouth's Officer Major William Hughes participated in a panel with other officers on TV in a discussion on Police Relations. Needless to say he made an excellent contribution. Rev. Robinson was elected President of the Plymouth Settlement House Board for 1970. He was also chosen chairman of the Steering Committee of the Kentuckiana Conference. January brought its measure of sadness. On January 7 Miss Bonnie Anderson lost her ~other.

At her funerc.l '1-:hich took place on February 3 at the churc~1) the pasto.i: spoke of the many manife~tati ons of her deep faith in God before her death. The entire congregatio n mourned with her entire family and especially with her beloyed Tanya, now a student in one of the state universitie s, who had grown up in Plymouth Church. The first week of February brought joy to the entire parish•when the announcememt was made that the Louisville Jay Cees had named as one of the three men of the year the Rev. Irvin Moxley of Grace Presbyteria n Center, a brother of Plymouth's own Mrs. Thomas Moxely. Rev. Moxely often supplied the ., pulpit when Pl.ymouth was without a pastor. On February 8 at 5 p.m·. Plymouth was host to the city wide NM,:.' :? meeting which was sponsored by the Louisville Ministerial Coalition. One of the highlights of the whole year was the uniting with Plymouth on February 15 of Mr. Benjamin Carter and his wife Mrs. Paula Carter. The former c1me by letter from Mt. Carmen Methodist Church of Greensboro., North Carolina and the latter from Bethany Baptist Church of Frankfort, Kentucky.. Mr. Carter is a member of the chancel choir. The . following Sunday the installatio n of the church officers for the year took place. The entire list appears in the report of ,the nr->mination committee. l'/.II'. L. K. McCullough was later chosen chairman of the Bo:>.rd of Deacons and Mrs. Sarah Collins of the Board of Deaconesses . At the request of the pastor, the chairman of the nominating committee., Mrs. Rosa W. Wise, presented a new official group--the Stewardship Committee. The membership included: h 2. odames Abbie Fife and Lucy Larke, Miss Virginia Winlock, Messrs Leroy Jones, Le onard Smith and Thomas Moxely and Dr. G.D. Wilson. The Lenten Season, meanwhile, had begun on Ash Wednesday, February 11. A fiJ..:i F2 tr2at and Decision was shown at the first meeting. The nessages of February 1~ c. nd February 25 were given by lay members Louise Matthews and Dr. (J. D. Wilson. Tr.c: ~ev. Mitchell Curry of Emanuel ucc, Lexington preached on February 16. The lenten period was saddened by the death on February 27., after a brief : :-l ness of Mr. Wiley Daniel Sr. , long a dedicated deacon of Plymouth. As was sa~d at his funeral, he was great because of his goodness. He and his wife had rear~c their children in this church. His passing brough sorrow to all who knew him. On March 4, Plymouth visited West Louisville u.c.c. for Lenten services. Rev. Robinson delivered the message and the Plymouth Choir sang. The following week Plymouth was host to West Louisville with the Rev. :Mac.Harg of that church :i..rt he pulpit and the West Louisville choir in the choir loft. Then on March 18 t-;-; youth of Plymouth under the capable direction of their leader Mrs. Winifred Mox . ': · present ed the program. March was indeed a busy month for the pastor. The day after the Lenten Pervice at West Louisville Church, he had a meeting in Indianapoli s. The same ";~ek, according to· the · bulletin, he spoke in Washington before the Health and We:. f are Council on the sµbject Hurts That Need Healing. There was another busy mem~,-"·: of Pl ymouth at this time in the person of Mrs. Mae St reet-Kidd, State Represent:::.·_.1-re fo r the 41st Legislative District. She was busy working for -the Mae Street=Kidl · Housing Bill for low income families. One of the pleasant memories of March ~s that of the presence on Mar.ch 5 of YJrs. Ann Long Benboe, t'ormer choir -member. Mrs. Benboe who now lives in Florida was accompanied by her adorable young son and her. grand-fathe r, Mr. Percy Newbrant Sr., who had been absent from church for sometime due to illness. There was more sadness d,uring the Lenten Seas.o n. For deaths came to �History - Page 3 Mr. James Shavers of N-?· 1 York City, :.:n w. c:::..e of Mrs. Pearl Herring and to Mrs. G. P. Hughes, mother of Plyrr.uuth; s police ·Jfficial, Mr. Willfam Hughes. .M..rs. Hughes had been a cheerful invalid for several years. She was once a talented musician serving as organist of one of the local churches. The sympathy of Plymouth parish was extended to Mrs. Herring and to Mr. Hughes. Word also came of the death of Y.a- . D. C. Owens whose father,t he late Mr. D. C. Owens Genior.,had in years past been an ordained deacon of the church. Then, on March 20, Plymouth lost its third member · of the year--~. Norman Leroy Williams, among whose i~.mediate survivors are Mesdames Rosa Wise and Winifred Foley. Born into a family which now boasts three generations of active workers in Plymouth, he had been unable to attend services for many years due to ill health. Those who knew him best will recall his patience, kindness and eagerness to render serviee when and where he could. The sympathy of the church went to the family. Maundy Thursday was celebrated by the Church School Sacrificial Meal. Then there followed in the sanctuary a "Celebratio n of Thanksgivin g" led by the kstor with readings by Messrs David Dearing and Louis Harper and Mesdames Lucy J. Larke a~d Clarese Tyree. Easter was as always an impressive service. The flowers brought by members to be dedicated by the minister in memory of deceased loved ones were never more beautiful. The Easter promise of resurrectio n was comforting to all. The April days that followed with budding trees and flowers were symbolic of the life after death. On Mothers' Day, May 10, Plymouth had as special guests members of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. Many of the charming young debutantes who had been recently presented by the sorors were also in attendance at morning worship. The church was indeed happy to welcome these and other visitors. On May 22, Church Women United observed Leadership Development Day in the lower auditorium. The meeting was Vance was 11 gardener' 1 sponsored by the Ecumenical Action Planning Group. Mrs. Evelyn 11 11 while Mrs. Carolyn Hulse served as "plow-horse ". The ladies dug in at 9:30 a om., had a coffee and chatter break at 11:30 and "plowed" until 12:30. Indeed the hi.2;:-1~-ight of May was the birth on May 22 of a dear little baby girl to Mr. and Mrs. James Haun. Mrs. Haun will be remembered as a child of Plymouth--M yrtle Davis whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. James K. Davis. The church was happy with the Hauns. 11 might well be termed as Recogni tion Month" at Plymouth. The Jw.c: '7 bulletin of the church carried the names of six pupils who were promoted to the Junior High level and six to the Senior High. The Senior High graduates listed Denise Bowers who was the ranking student of her class, Denise Guess, Craig WiJ.,.lj · .•,.·f .-. and Dwight Williams. From professiona l schools were William c. Brummell Jr. who , . . .; awarded the L.L.D. degree from Rutgers University and Harold R. Howard, the DoD -L . from the University of Louisville. These six were presented cash gifts. There military as well as academic honors to be noted during rhe month. One of the pleasant surprises of June was a visit from Lieutenant- Colonel Frank McNeil, on~ born into the Plymouth fold, son of the late Deacon Thomas McNeil and his wifeo His rank bespoke the fact that his ability had been recognized. His own family 0f wife, two daughters and a son were accompanying him from Germany to Texas where t bny would remain while Lt.-Col. McNeil went to an assignment in Viet-nam. Mention has already been made of the return Of Information Specialist James Bryant from Viet-mun. It was learned that he was about to receive a special citation, an oak leaf cluster for his con tribution to the progress of the war. (It arrived later.) Then in t:i.e September 21 issue of the Courier-Jou rnal and Times there appeared a military honer roll. Heading the list of recipients of the Bronze Star was the name..-:of .Army Staff Sergeant Terry H. Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. James K. Davis and husband of Mrs. Francine Winstead Davis. Thus these two young men who had also been b()rn and nurtured in the Plymouth fold received military honors. Sgt. Davis attended worshi~ services soon after this honor roll was _published, but slipped out before his friencs could speak to him. June 19 was a great day for on 1 it was born to the Franklin Jones a darling baby girl. Mrs. Jones was Plymoutb s Carrye Bowers. Mr. and Mrs~ Joseph P. Bowers thus became the first of Plymouth's new grandparent s of 1970. On ,Tune 1970 ,i ,.,,. �History - 4 June 20, the Sund~y Scr.'1ul ce]_c:bratc~d Fathers~ Day with a dellcicus meal which some of the dads had helped prepare and aerve. Thus the mothers hud an opportunity to be guests. As us.u-a1, a good time was }:iad by all. Congregatio ns to the: leaders! Rev. Robinson designeated June 28 as "Recognitic n Day." The Honorable Mae Street Kidd, Lyman T. Johnson and Jesse P. '\<;arders were cited for their various contributio ns to the civic life of the community and to the cause of civil rights. The program was held immediately after morning worship with Mr. Thomas Moxley, chairman of the Church Council presiding. Mrs. Ethel Robinson, chairman of the program explained the purpose of recognition . Glowing tributes were paid to Mrs. Kidd, JI.Jr. Warders and Mr. Johnson by Dr. Milton YoWlg III, Mrs. Elizabeth Alexander and Mr. Frank Stanley respectivel y. Deacon Chester Wright added wqrds of praise to ll.!l'. Johnson on behalf of the Board of Deacons and Mr. William Summers presented citations from the office of His Honor the Mayor of Louisville. Mr .. Summers paid a touching tribute to the friendship shown him in his early youth by Mr. Johnson. The progran was followed by a beautiful reception in the lower auditorium. Finally, Dr. and Mrs. Robert W. Dockery presented charming Glenna and her groom, Mr. Leslie Edwards. On June 18 the Kentuckiana Conference held in Indianapoli s was attended by the pastor and Mrs. Elmira Brock. The latter brought back a very complete re~ort which regretably cannot be reproduced in detail. It is hoped that she will share it with various adult groups of the church. From July 26-29, Mesdames Mary Leake and Rosa Wise attended the Laity Conference also in Indianapoli s. The latter served as registrar. Both ladies attended the Mission Institute on September 18 in Elizabethtwon. At this meeting Mrs. Hortense Young conducted one of the workshops. On September 28 ll.Jrs •. Wise returned to Indianapoli s for the Evaluation of the Laity ConMrs. Leake attended a Spiritual Retreat at Cedarmore near Bagdad, ference. Kentucky on October 16-17. Attendance at such conferences greatly enhances church leadership. Many of the Plymouth fold traveled on foreign soil in 1970. In late winter Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Stanley took their annual Caribbean cruise. A little later Mrs •. Hortense Young visited several European countries. Mrs. Lloyd Alexander and her daughter Miss Audrey Ann Belmear, Mr. Edmund Bolan and Dr. and Mrs •. J. A•. G&y attended the Exposition in Tokyo and also went to other places in the Orient as Hong Kong, the Philippine Islands, and of course the fiftieth state of Hawaii. rl1ere were also many out-of-town visitors to Plymouth Church from time to time du:d.1:g the second half of the year. Among these were Mrs. Mable Pleasant of Oakland, California, charming sister of the pastor's wife and four dear former members of th:: church: Mrs. Lois :Morton Turner, Chicago, Illinois; Mrs. Anna Mae Beasley Smith, Detroit, Michigan; Mrs. Birdie Black Delaney, Washington, D.C.; and Mr. Raymond McReynolds of Lexington, Kentucky. Mrs. Delaney and Mr. McReyno3.ds are former members of the chancel choir. 1 July Mrs ~ The summer months however brought their share of sadness. In ear~y 11 11 Jeannie Payne lost her father, Mr. Harry Claytono On July 23, Mr. Ike Catchir.:g s a friend and former employe of Plymouth Church passed. On August 12 Mrs. Wilma Furman a relative of the Wilson sisters of Twenty-firs t Street and of West Broadway died in her home in Roxbury, Massachuse tts~ Then on Augst 23, the death angel came again to the family of Mr. William Hughes taking his sister Mrs. Margaret Lee Hughes Roberts. The entire church sympathized with the bereaved members. On the brighter side Mr. ,Frank Stanley Sr. was very happy over the fact that his son and namesake had been granted a full scholarship to study law at the Unive1 sity of Southern California. The Courier-Jou rnal of August 7 carried the news that a Plymouth's own Carl R. Hines ahd been named director of the Housing Opportunity Center of the Kentucky Com1;ussion on Human Rights. The Sunday School picnic on August 22 wcs as usual enjoyed by all attendiog. Last but by no means least, Pl;y:r.outh Church received with joy the glad tidings that Deacon and Nirs. Lyman T. Johnson had become grandparent s during the month of August, thus explaining Mrs. Johnson's visit to Philadelphi a •. To· their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Virs.

Mrs. Jackson was highly regarded. Rev. Robinson, ~any church members and other Louisville friends attended the final rites in Stamping Ground. Their presence plus the many messages from those who could not go were a solace to Mrs. Maxey • . Plymouth lost two members in November • . Mrs. Arline Booker Dent has joined the church of her husband, while Mrs •. Lillian Richardson has not changed her membership, she has moved to Cleveland to live ,dth her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. Q. F. Montgomery. Other reports of the· month were of a more cheerful aspect. Mrs. Elizabeth Alexander went to New York City to represent the Louisville Association of Social Studies Teachers at their national meeting which convened on November 23. The E.T. Woolridges looked very happy on their November visit not only because their son Theodric Jr. (Teddy) had last year in his junior high school year won highest honors in science which would entitle him to a scholarship to General Motors Institute; but also because Teddy's brother Mr. Stephen Samuels and his wife (both members of Plymouth) had become the proud parents of a baby girls. Mrs. and Mrs. Evan Guess were equally happy over the November birth of a little daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Atwood Guess. · November also made grandparents of Mr. and Mrs. Lacomis Mr. Curry C. Curry. A son was born to Mr. and .Mrs. Virgil Curry of Cleveland. himself was ~ne of Plymouth's babies. The number of new grand-parents in Plymouth is increasing. Plymouth Church hosted the Union Thanksgiving Day Service this year with Rev. Robinson delivering the message and with special music by Plymouth cancel choir plus guests from Zion Baptist under the direction of Mr. Mayfield. It was a glorious daf. The main floor of the sanctuary was filled and some seats in the balcony were occupied. There were many favorable comments upon the sermon, the music and Plymouth hospitality. The final event of the church year was a reception on November 27 in the lower auditorium to which Mrs. W. C. Burmmell Sr. invited members of Plymouth and other friends to greet her son Attorney W. C. Burmmell Jr. and meet his very attractive br ide, the former Miss Jeanette Faucette of Greensboro, North Carolina. It was a lovely party; and while the young couple was being felicitated upon their marria ge, many took the opportunity to congratulate the groom upon having passed the New Jersey bar and having secured employment as clerk to a superior court judge . Thu,s ended the year December 1, 1969 through November 30, 1970 in the annals of Plymout h Church hisotyr. It is hoped that in 1971, the number of new members uniting with the church will exceed that of those lost by death and separation; and, secondly , that parishioners long absent, unless physically unable,will resume attendance a t worship services.

Here we are on Monday, I mean. Yeah. Monday, March 8, 2004, at Mr. William Levi Clemens house and his wife, Miss Ethel Clemens, about 3:30. And we're in Bedford, Indiana. Run them good. I might just try one thing here. I can pull that curtain back. I see there's no reason for anybody to be nasty and smelling bad because we got everything to use. And some old folks, you just sometimes wonder what really make them tick. They just don't care. Now, I know you met some of them. I have no pleasure in life that's bad. Is that what you mean, no pleasure? That's right. They don't take care of themselves. That ain't me lost use me. Let me do the good thing that you have me to do. And I know whatever they are, they're going to be good things if you leave it in his hand because I don't think he does anything that isn't good. I got that much confidence and faith. Well, when you were going through that operation and all that, when you were going through that operation and all that. Yeah, it was a funny thing out of it, but it was really real. The doctor said. I know. That's what he told us. He said, she's praying. Now, have you called your friends and your relatives and told everybody that everything's okay? I couldn't because give me that yet. No. Doctor Walker? No. There are some of your relatives checking in and everybody's wanting to know what's wrong. What's wrong? He has some more work for me to do and whatever it is, I'll be able to do it because he's going to go with me. That reminds me of that song. He's going to go with me, honey. So you all went around visiting nursing homes, did you? You went and visited the nursing home? Oh, yes. Thank for the people you did. That was yesterday. Did you have your voice? Yeah. Yes, we did. Have a good time. What you think? Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross is my main song. Yeah, I know you have heard that mean, is there a philosophy? I think. Is that your house? Absolutely. Yes. No, I tell you, I still don't want to go to that place called Hell. It ain't too good down there. I think if you showed up, they'd kick you out. So you don't think they'd want me? We don't want her around here. She's going to persuade people to go wrong with it. Yes, you're right, honey. I know they laugh at me. I just speak to truth. Troops is a life. So for you, your face is your way of life. Yes. I tell you, honey, every day. Yes. Anybody who knows, you know. Yes, I try to do good. Anything that I can do. But you're smart too. You watch and you listen. My grandma said if you learn, if you listen, you learn a whole lot. Do you know she spoke to two older people you looked at, but they didn't know. But Honda, they knew a lot. They knew a lot. They just didn't always talk about it. That's right. But they show me a lot. Now go ahead. Did she have any schooling? Could she read? Well, not a whole lot. But you know what? It's the way that she spells. She could spell anything behind. She could spell it in the grandma because she couldn't spell it. She must have had some schooling from somewhere. Well, yeah, but what I thought she didn't know high school and stuff like that. Just plain old common sense, more or less. With that lady, she used them hyphens and she could spell anything hyphens but between two words, but nothing that she couldn't spell. You know, when she made quote, did she ever put any words on them or any letters on them or write anything on them? You don't have any memory of that, do you? Because sometimes people would sign like a special call, they put the date on it or something like that. That was a mistake that a lot of me didn't put too much down and stuff. Yeah. Be nice nowadays. It would be nice if they had. Yes, they had. But back then, not really thinking about it. That's right. It really was. Well, after she had her leg amputated, did she live much longer? You know, me and my grandmother, after she had that leg agitated, I kept her to see her sister in West Virginia on the train. How did she walk? Real quick. So her other life was good. She just go back and forth with the crutch. Oh, my goodness. I didn't know that I would be the one. But do you know how they hit it's? Take care. I need to take care of my uncle and see them beard and everything. They got the casket, right? Take care of all that business. That's right. Oh, boy. I'm the one that did it. So that's why I'm sitting here today. First, your grandmother do the blessings. Send your uncle. He will bless you for your goodness. Honey, ain't owe you nothing. God ain't owe you a thing. You get paid in some way, you might not realize it, but it is coming. You get paid in some way. That's right. Because that was one of the good deeds. I mean, one of the very best deeds that I could have did was to take care of and look after my grandma. And I did that and it was well done. You're proud of yourself that you did it, aren't you? Yes, I am. I don't regret not a bit of it. It wasn't easy. No, it wasn't. It sure wasn't. But, you know, I just kind of had a will in mind. A will in mind. Nobody left to do it. Well, when your mother died, I didn't know I was a baby. And she took you in. She told my grandma Fanny, my dad's mother. Not my mother's mother. Not your mother. She didn't want to be bothered with me. You won't be buying a baby. You know. They washed the dapples then they washed all the dapples at the baby Wolf they didn't have right. They washed them and put them in bleaching and they were white as snow. It was a lot of work that was rough. It was rough. And I experienced some of that. I learned to cut the bath. I learned to set the bath. All that little girl from your uncle's or from your dad? From my grandma, my dad's mother. She's the one that raised me. My mother's mother didn't want to be bothered with no baby diverse. Does she live close by? They all live close by right across the field somewhere. Did you know her? My mother's mother? Sure I did. Her name is Coleman. How do you spell BTI? B-A-T-I. What was your mom's name? Hadty. Haddy Coleman. You was a grenade. How do you know that? Well, that's what was told to me. That's all we know. Somebody has to tell you, right. So she was my mother's mother. She didn't want no babysitting job. And you had to do a lot for a baby then. Now all you do is buy and throw away in Pampers and back. But then they had them pretty bird eyedappers. They had a little crinkle in the white material. You seem dapper. Bird's eye. You mean like embroidery or a little quicker than the material decoration? Yeah, but that's a big job to watch. I had one of them grid, big old pots that you sit up on rocks out in the yard and boils to do the laundry. I've had all of that. I'm so proud that I had that experience. Are you? Yes, I have. And I'm not ashamed of it because it always clean cut. There was no dirty thinking this day. People have got so much dirty evilness in their heart and mind, it just isn't even funny. But them old folks, they love one another and they treat one another good. Well, if I had something, you had it. You know what I'm saying? They're hospitable. But this day is really bad. It's a shame didn't get as many people. It's evil. Thank you. It'll rubbed off. You have to be all careful what you said because they showed. And the bad thing that they ain't got no business taken up is just the thing that they take up. Why is that? I guess it's just life. But that's it. That bad thing is what they really focus on that gets their attention. It is just what they focus on, baby. And you know what? They listen and they're smart. Everything you said and the bad thing that they shouldn't hear and take in is a bad thing. That's what they remember. That's right. Well, tell me about being a beautician. Tell me about being a beautician. Oh, well, that was just one of the trees. My aunt was a beautician. I guess I could call myself during what she did. But you did it first, didn't she? Yeah, I did. Yeah, I was first, and then she come along. I guess she's doing what I did. He wanted to be a duty. Went to Madam CJ. Walker. I went to Madam CJ. Walker in Indianapolis. On Anna Avenue. Right on the corner of South Park. Were you living close to there when you went there? Close to who? Madam CJ. Walker. Not too far. Not too far. But I live in Fort Wayne. We really want our technical. I used to ride that train, but it had a name used to run through there. Not the Monon. I used to ride golf. Wayne to Indianapolis. School five days. Is that right? Yeah. Were you working in Fort Wayne at that time? I had a shop in Fort Wayne. A beautician shop. What was it called? What was it called? What was the name of the shop? Walker. Who? Moores. Antique. Antique. Antique. But in it antique. Like old antique Butte. It was set up antique. It was decorated into. Yeah, I enjoyed when I was there. And I really had a back pocket when I went down at night. Yes, I enjoyed it. Where was that? In Fort Lane. Do you remember the street address? Hannah was the name of the street. H-A-N-N-A. Was it fun just hanging out with ladies? It was fun just hanging out with ladies and talking about stuff. Yeah, we have good all day. Could you do it? Were you good at it? Were you good at it? They said I was. They kept coming back. A lot of customers. I really had a good tree. What did they call you? Ethel. They just called you Ethel More then. Oh, you were more sure. Was he in the picture? Was he in the picture when you were doing the beauty salon? I got one here somewhere. You got a picture? I had it. I think I had it, though. I think he's got a cousin in Louisville. I believe I had that picture to them of the shop. Not the shop of my husband. Yes, I do come a long way. It must have been quite a change to come down to Betford. It must have been quite a change to come down to Bedford. Well, I tell you, I'm a person like this. When I make my mind up, it's just made up. I'm not too changeable is that word. Stubborn is the word stubborn. Not too changeable. I never had too much luck with my husband. I lost my husband, and the Lord blessed me to be lucky to get another good one. I don't have an offer, so I put it all on his main effect. He has kept his arms around me and lucky when you can think a little bit. When you're getting in your 80s, it ain't no small number. No. A lot of people don't live that long. A lot of people don't live that long. That is not a small number. But I tell you, he has really kept his arms around us. And he is the one that knows the heart, the mind, the soul, the everything. Without you having to tell it. You can't fool it because you know what you're thinking before. You know what you said. Now, where did you learn all this stuff, huh? Where did you learn all this stuff experience. It ain't all hard. I haven't been experienced. I did a lot of travel. Where have you traveled? All over on the other side. Plus all over here in the United States. All over. Where is Freeport it's in Canada. You've been to Canada? Oh, absolutely Freeport.

Okay, now it's 358 and Mr. Clemens is here. You know what? I don't talk to her. Yeah, you can talk. You can do a lot of talks. I was telling her about when I met you. I met you. I'm going to take a show. Elk's brother. She said one of your Elk's brothers have died. Yeah. And you were a daughter. She was in the daughter's over there up in Indianapolis. Yeah, I was. There it goes. I didn't expect you to be. And I live up there. I belong to father in Bloomington. Bloomington. And then Alderson was esteemed leave night that time.

She said she's done the Washington. I've been doing the wash. Yeah, I did it when I did it on a washboard. I hung clothes out, too today. Not before. I used to wash down in the basement.

Anyway, so you were up there at the funeral home, and here I'll just introduce you to introduce me to whichever one you want. There the one I want you to meet. Yeah, he told me whichever one you want. That's what Harris did. But then I got one for me, especially because the other guy was married in between and she and me. Yeah. We ain't got much time. We'd get a friend and get back because we're always went back together at the club. We've had a lot of fun. Yeah. Did the ladies go to the get together? Oh, yeah. So then what? Did you ask for a phone number? No, I didn't ask for a phone number. You don't have to go back. What do you mean? I had to work the next day after. Oh, my gosh. What time did the club close? About 132 or something like that in the morning. Oh, yeah. I wish I'd been there to see it. We used to sit back on it and I thought I was the sharpest angle. So you had to get me, didn't you? Yeah, I had to get you. Now, where do you want me to stay, huh? You still tell the truth? Well, I want to know what happened at 130. What happened at 130 in the morning? She said, yes, I hate to see it. And I told him. And you said you sleep away on your side of the bed. I will share my bed with you, but you stay on your side. I sleep in the bed with a man and don't have to have to do it. It's up to you. Well, I must have told you something about it. Yeah, I know. He was a good man. So then what happened about your job? Where are at. And I'm going to be up for a whole lot of weekends. I'm going to be up for a whole lot of weekend. And you're going to miss me. So he said, I worked and all that overtime, everything. You probably got somebody above your mean, I'm still going to get a nice. What happened? The heater messed up. It got hot. Here's another guy that I was a friend of mine, he's his cousin. And he said. He told me that was the end of it. She's going to get. He told me, that boy, that's cousin, he said, she is the best looking woman. And then when he see me later, I think he next time he's seen me, he said, I told you that you could have to get you a new ride. I said, what? I told you that you go ahead and get you a new ride. A car? Yeah, for her. Oh, yeah. He said, he's going to get a new car. I think I got their car. And she came out of there. Yeah, down there. Coming down that main drag. You had plenty of money to do, didn't you? I had a job. Old Lady Lily. Yes, ma'am. Did you? Yes, sir. And she gave me apples. Didn't you know what quilt I got at the antique mall? And the man who sold it said that he got it from a family. African American family. That worked. I wonder if you'd know them. You did now. Yeah, I know. I should show you. That one was named Ben and one was named. What was his name? But now what happened? Ben Malone was his. Malone was there a lady, too? I don't know. Anyway, Kirk and Ben one was a show from one. And at least they told you everything. Yes. Okay. This little was crazy about me. Yeah. She bought me the best of uniform. She thought that I was cutie pie. And you were? Well, I don't know about that. But I tell you what. I've always tried to be nice and look nice. Yes, very good. And a lady told me she had a girl that worked for her. And she sure will help me with everything. She knew them had been in the family. She knew just what Ms. Lily like. You have some income? Oh, yes, definitely. So you didn't need a family? Well, not really. I didn't, because I was well taken care of. You had your own pace. What attracted you to him? One of his brother, Elf Had. And we met at the film home where the wake was. What were you esteemed leading night. What do you call it? Team leader. Esteem, esteem leader. So maybe that got her attention. Not really. The girl. And both of them is dead. It caused me to meet him. Oh, yeah. Everybody else is dead, too. Octave. Octave. She knows Rosie because he's young. But all the mother folks, she went on now. Yeah, probably not the last few years, but what attracted you to him? We were at this week where this brother had paid, and I was introduced to them by Harold Ducen and Octave of the wife. But did you think he was cute or what? Well, they knew him. They've been knowing him for a long time, and they know he was a good match. Everything that went with me, they know how to look out of that. All my life, I've been pretty good shape and always cared how I looked. So that made me buy pretty expensive thing. And I wore them and I had to part a little. And I had my sister come out. He did that on me. Well, you know, I had the clothes all the time. Now, who was your sister? Look at my closet. I worked all that overtime. I had a lot of money. Oh, you were working overtime. And plus the car wash. Wait a minute. No, I didn't. That was just very settling. If someone wants me to wash a car purposely, then I'll maybe wash your car. But outside of that, I was running back and forth on that and just working at Central Boundary. That's right. Okay, so that's where your money was going then. Fine. She asked me to go to Western Car. Yeah. Well, let me see now. When I lost my wife. When I lost my wife, I had $40,000 in this house. And the car paper. Well, they wanted him to meet. They knew I was a good person. And they knew him before they knew me. I just needed somebody. And I was going with a bad guy. But anyway, she's. He was a bad guy. Yeah. Charlie Brown, come out. He said, what are you doing? And he said, what are you doing? She's put a pin wrap against the telecom pole. Not strong, man, because I work harder. And I was strong in muscle. So very big muscles. And how you're against that telephone pole and you come, Charlie Brownie, what are you doing? What are you trying to do? Well, I plan on knocking her brains out. But, Gordon, I had some good clothes. I was sharp. Ethel didn't tell you about that part of that? Yes, sir. You were very sharp. That's right. And I had them closed and everything, and so I couldn't come over there. I want them to suit that. I was living with her. I was living with her in Bloomington, and it was not a good thing she threw a brick at you. Oh, yeah. She could have killed you. She had a brick in the perk, and she was carrying the brick and she talked to me in all that curse. So about that time, I was just about like I said, two strokes in front where she gets behind her head or something. When I ducked around and I caught her and told her, Charles, he didn't know that we had been argued a lot and he didn't come out the back door. He comes just in time because you could have been in big trouble. Come home and I got home. I hadn't got home before she called all that stuff. You see. Now you come on back up here. You come on back here. Now. I know. Good way. Now. I was just waiting for me getting rid of that one. But I could have got in deep trouble if Charles hadn't come around. That was a blessing. That was a blessing that he came in time to stop you. Yeah, because you lost your temper. That was bad business. Yeah, that's right. That she came along right at the right time. That's right. And got you out of that situation. And you have the good sense to recognize the right thing to do. Oh, yeah. You got to give yourself some credit Because a lot of people would not have had the sense to say I got to get away from this. That's right. Yeah. A lot of people just keep going back for and it got pulled on me. That must have been such a happy time in your life, though, when two of you got together. I bet that was fun. Okay, now it's about 430 anyway. Is it your supper time or anything? Yes. Is it your supper time or I supper time whenever we want to eat, here's your thing. But now we had a doctor's appointment kind of waiting the day for a doctor. I'm so happy that she came along and you had the sense to know a good thing when you thought and that you didn't get stuck in that situation. That's just such a blessing. 05:40 p.m. Okay, that's coming up pretty soon. 540. So he comes down here in the evening. That's all right. I've been here a long time. I've been here a long time already. I never heard that story before of how the two of you got together. That's very interesting about you wanted him to stay. You asked him to stay. Oh, yes. Because he looked and it's a long week to drive down here. That time of night. [Tape 1, side B ends] [Tape 2, side A begins] 430, right. You didn't want him to go to sleep on the road. Yeah, that's right. Right. And he had had the incident of hidden cans. You know how they set them up in the road, having blocks and whatnot, he run into one in Cannes and he was just asleep in his he'd go to sleep. Oh, I know what you mean. Those towns like doing roadways. So you don't want him to get in trouble. He run into one MCN. But you wouldn't just invite anybody to spend the night. Oh, no. I knew what I was doing. You knew he was a sweet guy. I know what I was doing. What were you doing? Well, I've got him in nine years. 29 years. And he liked the way I look. And I liked the way that he looked because anything that I wanted, he gave it to me. He took care of you. That's right. He wanted you to be happy. That's right. So I've been sick. So we've been together for 29 years. Ain't no short time, just no short time. And now it's not tired of him. That's right. That sounds like I'm no way tired. That's my sweetest. Yeah. Yes. Too many couples can say that out there. He's my sweet Hunter. Anything that I can do to make it good for him. And he got at me over here, too. That's right. That's right, baby. Take care of something good going for me. I thank God for you. God sent you down from heaven above he sent you down for me to love he picked you out from all the rest because he knew I loved you best. Happy Valentine's Day, sweetheart. I love you more. And he is always that guy. He's a mess. That thing in there is my sweetie after 29 years. That's right. We've come a long way. We've gone around a mini curve. I would like to come back sometime. And I would like to do some more of this life story, too. Well, as I said, you always called and make sure. Just call and make sure it won't call. Right. That's okay. That's worked out sometimes. But you make people listen to you. Exactly. I'm crazy. Are you tired? Sometimes, though, some days kind of tired. Not so necessary this time of day. She's pretty straight. No, honey, look, I don't wash and put my clothes up. Did you put a clothes away and everything? Yeah. Yes, indeed. That's a lot of work for me to go back. You're all through. I'm old, but I'm still working, baby. I do my work. My everything cooking and everything washing. Okay. Now, we're still here in Bedford at Clemens household down at 450. And we're going to talk a few more minutes before Mr. And Ms. Clemens go off to the doctor. All right? Okay. So you were talking about going to school, right? You were going to Mitchell. Mitchell High School. Yeah, that's fine. He switched over to Mitchell High School. And he told us story about getting beat up. Yeah, that's right. Right. All. And then about Mr. Whatever His Name was coming and he broke up the fight. Yeah, that's right. What was the name of that school? That was Mitchell High School. Mitchell High School. Yeah. Because the grade school discontinued at the 6th grade. And I come to Mitchell High School in the 7th grade, see, and that's when the trouble yeah, that's when the trouble started. Troublestory. And I was the only one there only black, black male. And then the next year it was different. Yeah, that's right. Those children come from Consolidated School, and there's more of them, like two or three more of them. But that's all right. Okay. Don't you just tell me that story over again about what happened, about getting beat up. Every day there's a bunch of weight on me and I slip around somewhere else. On your way home. Yeah. And somebody seen me and they call the crowd. They come and they got there and their farmer rang around me. And therefore I fought the one person to one person. So eventually I'm going to get beat up. Eventually I'm going to get beat up. So then I could say I want a home. And somebody told me with him every day with him over there. Did you run? Yeah, I run. When they let me lose, I could run. Okay. So next day, next day, same thing. Start again. So I went to I think it was CW Decker. And I told him they said that some of the other bars told me that you got to eat up every day. Also some of the other boys, some other white boys on him. So he called you to his office? No. Because he knew you were getting beat up? Yeah. No, he ain't called me. I'll take care of it. And he was a big man. And he just hold it at that back of that neck and held him up. He got three or four big pop ups at Power. You don't do that no more. No person fighting going over here no more. He stopped it the next day and I just went on my way because I know that suit and Ten was watching him do. See, he was fighting my little brother, he spied my little brother little brother got in the crowd there with his bowling on that little brother. And Catholics got in there and everything. So we just had it all around. It settled down. And then some of the friends that I know in the neighborhood, I walk school them everything. White kids or black kids? Oh, white. The policeman, what do you call it? And they got that straightened out, and he got to be a friend of mine after this other boy, after James Shelton, that's one day getting me some water without getting no money. And then I'm in. And don't you run from nobody. Here comes a boy and they come out and say, hey, you're whipping so and so now don't throw mud in the bucket because, dad, look at you. We don't care about Mr. Harry. We don't care about Mr. Harris. I look back and David's down on the Fort, the whole thing. He saw the whole thing. But hey, now as time comes, if you ever do it again, if you ever do it again, I'm swearing that you're going to be David. You're going to be David. So he's no, he come out and he come out coming at the well there. And I just got to somewhere around when he done that, I raised that bucket up and I went down and I raised the bucket up and all the mother dudes, hey, all the other dudes took off. But hey, the big ones are guys, like I say, not out of school. They were out of school. You didn't do that. So and so you're okay. My dad will get you off. So then you brought you filled the bucket up and took it home after you put it over. Yeah, that's good. So this is when you were still getting trying to go to school. And that crowd right there, I was friends, everybody's friends of mine up and down Baker Street, everybody. The big was a little after that, after that on my side. So you just had to be strong. Stand up to him. Yeah, that's right. Don't run no more. I ever see you running. No one don't run no more. He taught me not to run. They want you to be strong. I was out there after cold. I'm in school, way out there in the country, and we fought every day. But he said, hey, I felt wrong. Like I said, I didn't find anything. And before I could put the water again, there was torch more money. Red clay. He's asking for it now. What you going to do? The big old boy now, if he throws in there again, he throws more money in there. He went down and got some more red credit with a bank of red credit. He got some more. Now what you're going to do? He's going to do it again. I didn't see it. And when he raised his hand up, he raised his hand up to that what boom. To hit that water. I had about maybe about half foot water and come up there and overpail and then Pale hit that dude there in a carbon and he screamed. Yeah. Was it a wooden bucket or a metal bucket? It's a metal bucket. Yeah. Grandpa's name had a kind of a heavy galvanized bucket. Lack of washing, too. No, not that big. Not that big. Okay. But that's straight now. But I didn't have to run no more. Oh, when you did that, because when you did with the bucket, they said, you don't fight fair. You got to do what you can do. They weren't fighting fair either. Well, that boy and I have been. Had it two or three times. Yeah. Had it. Had it two or three times. But then he was going to. He found out that your old Daddy don't do that because I'm going to kill you. So you didn't say that. Oh, yeah. I want my boy to be fighting like that. And everybody's standing up here and I got to have water. We got to have clear water, clean water. And he's throwing that mud in there. And Harry, you see that boy over there? Mr. Sean is over there. I don't know when he works or what are you going to do? But this boy is going to come up here and get walked. Central deal. Oh, a pump. Yeah, pump. A lot of people use it. Yeah. He's going to watch some coffee. Because every time he comes home with that mud in the fucking I'm going to beat and that beat me like he beat me dead. He did that to make you fight for you. So how old were you then? Like twelve or something? Oh, yeah, that's right. Now, what about the time did you graduate from high school? And then there's a thing about where you got on the bus or something and you came to Bedford. Oh, yeah, that's right. What was that about? I had a job over here cutting grassford in Bedford and Dr bars out on Hill. Out on golf course and go up on a Hill. Big folks live up there. Yeah. And Mr. Got a Cemetery right there. And it used to be four points. So I got right there. That's when the bus stopped for me. He stopped me. He said, you graduated last night with my daughter, didn't you? Hey, come on, Ginia, where are you going? So I said, Well, I got a job with Pepper. And he said, Well, Hey, I'm going to Befford. I'm going to Befford with you. Would you want to ride? So I said, I'll be sure. I'm glad to ride. I said, I ain't got no money quarter, but I didn't have a quarter. How were you going to get there? That was 12 miles from Metalton. This new bridge is an old bridge. And the bus comes down the Hill and come right there and PECO scrubs that old bridge. And he comes to let me offer. And I said, well, go to the doctor's office. And my sister seemed to think that he would take me out to Westland. I went there and doctors get an operation. Come on, come walk on down there. Password Jcpenz is now. And I walked on down that road and on down at the golf course. Off on the Hill. When I got up on the Hill, I was tired of school. And I'll be back and show you what to do. I said, Well, I don't want 2 miles or two and half miles from Jay Street on out there. But I can walk. Yeah, we used to walk. But then did you keep going back and forth between Mitchell and Bedford? Oh, no. I always thought they were wealthy. Yeah, but you know what they had a room for me. Had two rooms down in the basement and a fireplace. Well, so that was like a job. They hired you? Yeah, that's right. After high school my sister was cooked out of the hospital and that's when she contacted the doctor by she knew the doctor? Yes, that's right. And what was his last name? His name was Byers. Byers. Yeah, so you actually lived on their property and did like maintenance work like handyman? Yeah, I enjoy it, but I made the money and you see, we started out you gave me I think we started I think he gave me one dollars a day plus room. Indoor. Classroom. Indoor. But then that was what you call it. [Tape 2, Side A ends] [Tape 2, Side B begins] When I went home, my dad was in Church court and I went there. I never been to the Church door. I didn't get Turkey. Sometime I wonder about that. But she's praying all the time. That's right. She's praying to the doctors up there. Oh, you didn't get on me that switched over to you. Well, they're linked. The two storeys are linked. The two stories are linked. You can't separate your story. Yes. Well, I think I should let you guys go. You guys probably need to go pretty soon. Yeah. So that's good.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Roosevelt Chin [00:00:03] I remember telling Miss Marshall-- she kept pushing me. "Why don't you go ahead and graduate? Why do you work here so much? Won't you get more-- take more hours, at UofL?" And I remember finally coming in and telling her that my true feelings were, I didn't want to be a doctor. I didn't want to take all that science. I really wanted to do art. And I remember she was the only one to back me because my father kept saying, "All this money we've wasted and you don't want to be a doctor?" You know. And my mother had told me "oh, your sisters taking journalism at Syracuse. And your brother's taking business management at UK. Why do you wanna be an artist? You know, they're again, being from-- being from the old country that they couldn't conceive of, of following your-- your dreams and feeling. They only look at it in the way of can you make a living being an artist? And you know, at that time, they didn't think you could. And I remember Miss Marshall introduced me to a man named Gilmore, Mr. Gilmore, who was the advertisement director at General Electric. And I remember she almost pushed me into it. And she said to Mr. Gilmore, "Now, Roosevelt wants to be an artist, and I want you to take him under your wing and teach him how to-- how to do the advertising. And I almost couldn't say no because I'd already made this spiel about, hey, I want to be in the arts. And rather than discuss it with me, or argue or try to talk me out of it, she went ahead and proceeded to get me into that direction. So after making that commitment, I couldn't back out. And finally, Gilmore advised me that if I wanted to go into art, I better get some training. Go ahead and register at the-- at the what they call the Art center, which is right next to the University of Louisville. It wasn't part of the university. And so I went there and registered and took a year at the art center, and that wasn't credited towards a degree. And in 56, my father had just died, and my brother was the executor of the will. And he told me, "Hey, there's some money for each one of us. So if you really want to go away to art school, you can." And then the first big decision was when I want to leave the cabbage patch. I remember talking to Miss Marshall and she says, well, I want you to leave. In fact, she almost forced me, said, "You're not going to be hired here until you go to school." So in 56, I went to New York and attended three schools: American Art Academy, some of the night school, and the Art Student League, which was the big thing then. It was right across the street from Carnegie Hall. And I remember in 56 and 57 going to school there. And the reason I chose New York because at that time, my sister who was in Syracuse had gotten married and she moved into New York, in Brooklyn. In fact, that's where her first and only child was born: in New York. So I knew I had room and board. I go to New York. So in 56 and part of 57, I stayed in New York and attended three schools. No degree. The gist of what they call professional training to build up a portfolio of my work. Then I got homesick, cuz I remember I came home for the Male-Manual game. I came home for Christmas, and everybody kept saying, "Well, just stay up in New York." You know? And so I remember Miss Marshall told me, "Don't come back until summer." So the longest stretch was from-- from New Year's to June, my only Easter, on New York and Fifth Avenue. And, "You'll be back in the summer of 56". Then I told Miss Marshall, "I'll never go back to New York again, just too far away." So then I went to the Cincinnati Art Academy in 57, 58, and, and, studied at the University of Cincinnati Art Academy. And then 60, I had all this training, no degree. And Miss Marshall said, "You need a degree." So I went back to the University of Louisville and picked up a Bachelor of Science in art history, which was just another way of saying he got a degree, because at that time they had no art degree. They still had that little art center, which wasn't part of the University of Louisville. So I had to stock up on things like art history and ceramics, things that they offered. But they didn't have the biggies, you know, the painting and the sculpturing and lithograph and all that. And at that time is when they finally made the little transition where the university had its own art department, and in 60, I picked up a bachelor's degree. And then I worked here for a long time until Miss Marshall again, said that I need a social work degree, so in, 67, 68, 69 I went back to Kent School. So that was a long time in between, from 60 to 68, where I didn't-- I didn't do any schooling at all. I just worked full time here. Since finishing Kent School, I have never, never left. Yeah, [unclear]. Keith Cardwell [00:05:19] Well, I want to thank you for being open and sharing all of this with us today. And we'll-- we'll set up another time to meet later on and pick up with your post college days and your leadership role here, and try to cover that in the next--- in another hour or so, on another Saturday. Right. Thank you. [END OF SESSION] Keith Cardwell [00:05:55] My name is Keith Cardwell with the Cabbage Patch Settlement House. Today is Saturday, March the 7th, 1987, 10:00. I'm doing a second interview with Roosevelt Chin. We're sitting in the boardroom at the Cabbage Patch Settlement House. We finished up our last day by, getting you through college and through your degree work at Kent School. I'm going to pick up today with the post college days and your leadership role here at the Cabbage Patch. How was that transition from-- from school to a full time leadership position? Roosevelt Chin [00:06:43] Actually, I had two transition periods because, I went to the University of Louisville, entering in 1952 and stressing out a lot. I remember, knowing that some of my classmates were graduating 51, and now, I hadn't even, come close to graduating. And all that time where I was taking a hodgepodge of-- of courses, I was still working at the Cabbage Patch. And I remember in 56 making a similar decision of, do I want to pursue an art career or stay at the Cabbage Patch. And Miss Marshall encouraged me to try the art field, because I think she had a sense that after I'd satisfy this yearning to-- to experiment, that I would be back at Cabbage Patch, and she knew that all along. So with her blessing, I went to New York in 56 and-- 56 and 57, and part of 58, I attended some professional art schools and, got my fill of art. Came back to Louisville and then came back to work with Cabbage Patch. And finally she said, well, if you're going to be back and it looks like you are, you'll need a degree. And I already had-- I think I accumulated 170 some-odd hours and I only need 120 to graduate. But they were all sorts of subjects that you couldn't collate into any kind of a degree. There was some art history. There was some sciences. There were some humanities. But no emphasis on any of them. So I went back in 60, 59 and 60 to the University of Louisville and picked up an undergraduate degree. Well, my first transition period began after 60, when I knew I was finishing college and I knew I would be full time at the Cabbage Patch. Now, at that time, 60 to 69, I think I relied mostly on the-- on the, power of the activity better than the leadership of me. I was very adept at being creative in presenting activities for the youngsters, but the activity itself was so exciting and different that the kids would join my activities, and really, really, got a lot out of it. Despite my-- my-- my leadership role, I think the activity itself would have carried it over. I had huge, Easter plays. I had a number of-- running some of the Christmas parties for 600 people, elaborate decorations, big plays on the-- what-- we used to have the stage in the gym which is no longer there, now, the teen room. But, some of those, extravaganza were, you know, were really big. You'd spend two, three months in getting ready for it, learning the parts, or building sets, or costumes, everything. And at that time, we had large numbers in Sewing School. One time we took on to-- to do the whole Bible, which is, you know, 300 and-- I mean, we had about ten one act plays that Mrs. Green and I had to write. And each one dealt with, you know, from Abraham all the way-- all the way up to, Wycliffe, writing-- printing the Bibles and then smuggling them in. We came-- we went through the whole gamut and I made costumes for them, I took tents and, and, fishing boats and, Roman forums and the-- and the cave for the Easter play, and all in one play. But now you look back and say, "how in the world did we get all of that done?" But the Sewing school ladies helped make the costumes out of the scraps from the rummage sales. [unclear]. And, we had different people come in and rehearse with each group. And I was coordinated with building scenery all through the building with the Sewing School children, in three different places and, each group of girls were doing their own little story without knowing what the others were doing. Then on the grand day, we all assembled upstairs in the-- what is now the daycare. And--and in the correct sequence, we introduced each group and they got up and portrayed more tableaus-- what they were-- that they just posed in the scene that was most important in that particular story. And-- and Ms. Green or I would read the Bible passage and Bible story that went along with it. So it wasn't acting in the sense that people think of. It was more just, depicting what-- what we want to get across to the children. And that was those-- those were those huge things that we used to do. And, I guess I was so energetic back then, it just didn't faze me to-- to work day and night of some of those things. And the huge Christmas parties with, the 30 foot tree on top of the stage and elaborate Christmas plays and-- and, I was rehearing, building sets for the-- for the stage. And I think that time of the-- of my career, I was probably the most energetic as far as, I was still coaching basketball teams and doing arts and crafts, and I was doing a lot of camping, and, I really didn't feel the sense of-- I felt I was a leader here, but I felt I was really a, without theory or without, real purpose in what my leadership was supposed to accomplish within our park. Right. Keith Cardwell [00:12:27] Well, yeah. I was going to ask, who was Ms. Green? Roosevelt Chin [00:12:32] And Mrs. Green is is Mrs. John R. Green, who-- who was hired here to run the sewing school. And at that time, we didn't have the department as such. But she was, I guess, would be the relief worker, the one that did the home visits, the one who, supplied clothes and--- and food and so forth when we needed handlers. Much like our social services department now. Keith Cardwell [00:12:57] Where did the finances come to put on a production like this? Roosevelt Chin [00:13:02] I don't, you know, there again, I don't remember, a budget and such. It was from Mr. Marshall, who told Mrs. Green she could spend this much and get it done. And we did a lot of what we call a cash advance. We would go down and buy things out of our own pockets, give the bill to Miss Marshall and she'd-- she'd give us back the money. And there were some things that we had to buy, you know. A lot of-- lot of decorations and costumes. Some things we just couldn't make ourselves and we'd have to go out and buy. Keith Cardwell [00:13:28] But we were these plays, presented to the public or just to the kids here-- Roosevelt Chin [00:13:33] To the population of the Sewing School and arts and crafts. And that would be at least 100 children. Christmas parties and plays were sponsored by one of the companies in the neighborhood. The one I remember most is-- it was a paper company down the street. And instead of having a annual Christmas party, they would bring all their executives and secretaries over and their participation would be handing out the presents, an ice cream and the bag of candy, as the children left. And one person, I can't remember his name but I always assumed he was the president of the company, would be the Santa Claus. And then the-- the board of directors and members of the Cabbage Patch Circle would be the, ushers and-- and the monitors, and I would be in charge of the, of the, program, and Deitsch would be in charge of the gifts, and he would order the gifts and get the different church groups to come in and wrap them and have them all ready for the party. Well, it was a joint effort. And Jim Cooksey, the other staff, would be in charge of-- of the mechanics, the borrowing chairs from Walnut Street Baptist church and borrowing chairs from the funeral homes and, you know, 600 chairs. It was a lot of chairs to gather, and it would just fill the whole gym up. Keith Cardwell [00:14:56] What was the name of that paper company? Roosevelt Chin [00:14:58] Gee, I-- years and years, I think they switched names is the only reason I can't recall. We used to call them the Rowland Paper Company, but I think they, they, merged with another group. And, I recall-- it could be Superior Paper Company later, but they would never let us mention their name. I remember that was always my job. At the end of the play, I had to go up on the stage and, announce that we want to thank and I usually wanted to say the name of the company, but they would always tell me, no, you want to thank the Printers of America, which was for the-- the union or whatever agency that, that actually the money came from. There was always some nebulous type of a thank you where we really didn't know who to thank. Keith Cardwell [00:15:45] Yeah. Roosevelt Chin [00:15:46] Miss Marshall knew them-- knew the people, but they they didn't want to identify themselves or-- or take the credit for it, because it wasn't their money. It was maybe just the people who had delegated where the money went. But there was a real big thing about the-- whoever got to be the Santa Claus. Yeah. I don't think it was the same one each year. But that was a period when we were doing the long trips and camping up to Yellowstone Park to Grand Canyon to Canada, to Disney World. The football teams were very large, competing with the high schools around here. And in the freshman leagues, we were forming our own football league, which is now the Living Loud League we started as a local junior football league, but it was really high energy and-- and really, a good variety of activities. At that point, we hadn't-- we hadn't gotten together and decided, "Hey, you do the athletics." Others didn't have you do this and you do that and parceled out the different duties. We just all pitched in and whatever we thought needed to be done, we pitched in and did it. Keith Cardwell [00:17:01] Would you say that was the heyday of the Cabbage Patch? Roosevelt Chin [00:17:04] Those were the days of a large crowd, of no trouble getting-- getting who you want to join. You know, you wanted good football players, they would come from all over the place. Same thing with the Sewing School. We had them transported in from all the different schools, every school in the [unclear]. And, I remember Thursday was Sewing School day and it took the whole staff to get ready for it. You know, Dietsch had to make pickups at some schools, Cooksey would pick up a couple of shools, I would go to anther school. Even our secretary would have to sit at the door and take attendance. They were lined up to get in and we're talking about 80, 90 girls going in. Keith Cardwell [00:17:45] Hey, tell me a little more about about the Sewing School. Where was it held? Roosevelt Chin [00:17:49] Sewing School, there were three department. The beginners were downstairs in the basement, which is now called the Creative Arts Room. The middle group was upstairs with a tutoring room that's divided into-- into two separate rooms. That was one large room. And--- and then the advanced girls were over at the daycare. [unclear] And, they did a dress, among-- I remember the downstairs one was just learning how to do the stitches and make things like a pincushion or a, or a potholder. The ones upstairs, with Mrs. Green in charge-- downstairs was usually in charge of Ms. Palmer-Ball, who was a board member, and Mrs. Green was in charge of the intermediate ones upstairs in a large, what we called sewing room, which is now where the tutoring room is. Mrs. Green was in charge of that one. And they would do things like aprons and-- and stuffed animals, a little bit more advanced, where they would learn to use the sewing machine. And she was good at crafts type of sewing, meaning a laundry bag that held clothes pins shaped like a duck, you know, to hang on the clothes line. And and she would make funny figures. I mean, remember there were these little fat moon shaped people, with little legs and arm. And inside you'd keep your pajamas. For when you went to slumber parties and the boys would have something to put their pajamas in, and Kleenex box holders and things like that. So it wasn't sewing as such, except that you did learn how to do your stitches and then use your yarn and things like that. And then the older ones met in what is now the sleeping room for the daycare. And Mrs. Joyce was in charge of that. And they were the, the ones that are in the third year, and they would use the sewing machines, they would actually make their own dresses and jackets and so forth. And all three of them would be a total between 80 and 100 per week. And of course, they would have, all kinds of elaborate, celebrations, any kind of a holiday. These sewing schools were well fortified with, volunteers. They were all-- all the three leaders, Mrs. Palmer-Ball and Ms. Joyce and Mrs. Green, were very active in the church, and they were able to really get a lot of strong support from Ms. Marshall's friends and people from their churches. So, it was no problem to get 30 volunteers coming for each of these sessions, and each one would bring flowers and treats, you know, it was really a party type atmosphere. Well, these were the ladies that each one wanted to be looked at. And when you put them all together, it was really a nice gesture. And then one thing I remember-- Christmas decorating the room, you know, they were bringing these huge, pieces of magnolia leaves and red candles and, you know, really a Alice in Wonderland type of production. Each one would almost outdo the other one. And, and treats they would come into, you know, they didn't come with the things-- They came out of the bakery down the street. They they came from the nice sheltered [unclear], Hepburn Lane type of bakery. You know, the things that our children had never had a chance to experiment. The little tastes and the little tiny treats were painted. It was not only enjoyable for our children, but it was a learning experience they got to taste some things like-- that you don't get in this neighborhood, and the more they did it, the the more the children enjoyed it and the more the the volunteers would try to top it each week. And I was always in on it, because they would ask me, "Hey, we're getting ready to have Mother's Day, what kind of things can you get ready for us?" And I'd have a Mother's Day poster for each room, and they would bring the lilies and the flowers and the candles and the treats and cupcakes and all that. So that was really a big weekly affair. I guess that was the-- probably the biggest thing going on weekly at the Cabbage Patch all those years. Classes couldn't match it. Well, football was big, but there again, that was-- that was more isolated. It wasn't just open to everybody. Obviously you have to have some skill to play football. Whereas sewing, any girl who's interested can come out and come to sew. Keith Cardwell [00:22:16] When did that phase out? Roosevelt Chin [00:22:19] You'd almost have to say with the bussing because, see, they would meet here--- they'd get out of school, at that time I guess it was 2:20 when school was out and they would be here by quarter to three. All classes were to start sewing by 3:00. And by 4:00 we would take them all home. And of course in the winter months it would be dark by 5:00. But then with the bussing, two things I remember happening was they didn't get out school till later, they started getting out at 3:30 instead of-- you know, all the time I grew up, 2:00 was always the last period. Three-- School would be out at three. But this is when I was in high school and everybody who played ball got out at two. Because you got-- you had to to go to the gym to get ready for practice. And later on I think it was expanded to 2:20. And then with the bussing, probably because we had to start so much earlier--- I think the elementary didn't go until nine something and got out at three something, and the high school-- that kept going one hour earlier. I think the high school even today I think get out at 2:20 and the elementary get out at 3:20. I never could understand the-- why the difference, but I think that's to alleviate the numbers of busses and the-- and the traffic and the driving and so forth. So once the elementary schools, and there were about 7 or 8 in our neighborhood that came to the sewing school, once they were required to stay later, that immediately had a chain reaction. Because some of the volunteers couldn't come because they of course had husbands they had to cook for and they wouldn't get home. Keith Cardwell [00:23:55] [Unclear]. Roosevelt Chin [00:23:55] Okay. I remember some of the volunteer teachers who'd been coming all this time had to stop work. They had to be home by-- it used to be they'd get home by 4:30. The last pickup going back to the schools for the children was usally at 4:00. That means the volunteers left at 4:00. They'd be home about 4:30 to cook for their families. And then when you added another hour that took their time in their schedule. And then on top of that, the bussing moved a variety of neighborhoods into the schools, because I remember going to one of the schools close by, Cochran, and the-- and the principal said, well, you know, you can't just gear it to the Cabbage Patch Kids. I've got kids from other neighborhoods in here now. If we're going to allow you to announce that camping is starting or sewing school is signing up, everyone in the school has to be eligible to come and sign, even though by the distance of travel, that would keep some of them from doing it. I still have to present it to them, at least give them a chance to reject it. And that kind of put a crimp to the publicity angle. We couldn't get our word to an exclusive bunch. But-- so when you started, we'd have to make a general announcement to all the schools in the neighborhood, and of course, a lot of those children had no idea what the Cabbage Patch was or had no desire to even come here. So our kids were kind of spread out because we only talked to the buildings that were in our neighborhood. Some of our children weren't even in those buildings. They would be bussed out to other buildings in those neighborhoods. So we just missed out on getting the word across to them. That, the volunteers and the the time, were the three major factors to start doing sewing school out. And the majority, not the majority, but a lot of them did walk after-- after the sewing was over. Keith Cardwell [00:25:51] When did bussing take effect in Louisville? Roosevelt Chin [00:25:56] Gee, must've been, Early 70s, I guess. 74, 73, 74, something like that. But ever since then, sewing has kind of phased itself out and sewing as such, as recently as last the 2 or 3 years has not been sewing skills as much as it is doing projects that required some sewing. You know, you make stuffed, soft-- softer Cabbage Patch dolls and you did the little old things that use yarn and you did have to grab it and you did have to push it and pull it through. But there was no actual sewing lessons given. Let's see. That finishes the transition period between starting to work here and finishing my undergraduate degree. In 60, I finally got my degree at the University of Louisville and began a completely full time, because up to that time, even though I was full time, I was still taking time off to go to school and do other things. And so from 60 to 69, I was completely full time, and there was a transition in-- the in the building too. I remember one of the key things that happened was we opened up the second floor above the game room, which is now used by the daycare. I remember in 60 we had what we call a Fiftieth Anniversary. We began in 1910. Well, that was a very elaborate type of thing. And we get all sorts of groups coming in. And Ms. Marshall would talk to them and we had a building fund. I remember Ms. Marshall had me draw a huge picture of what the second floor would look in our building, and as each one gave Miss Marshall some money, she would paint in one of the bricks and we tried to paint all the bricks on there to raise enough money for the second floor. But that was in 60, and at that time the teenage program was only, I guess, football and camping and so forth. There wasn't-- there wasn't the what I would call the boy girl dating relationship type of program. And, from the 60s on, once we open that second floor, we called it the Teen Lounge. In fact, sometimes I forget and I still call it the Teen Lounge. And the Teen Lounge is where we first started having things like bands coming in and-- and every Saturday night, the teenagers would get to decorate it up and have little lights at each table and do the disc jockey thing, play the records and all that. And that's when, that's when Ruth Tomlin down the street really got involved and-- and started to develop the teenagers. And it really got there again, quite-- quite elaborate and big. Big dances, Valentine dances, Easter dances, filling the gym up, having bands on the stage, patio lights out in the yard, and umbrella tables, and they really got into it. And that-- that was the time when I was just finished with college and starting full time and knew I would be here the whole time, and we-- during the 60s were all our big campng trips and-- New York-- we went to New York World's Fair. That was what, 64? I remember the whole bunch going to-- going to Yellowstone Park. Dietsch and I took a bunch to Grand Canyon. Cooksey and I took the football team down to Florida. So if memory serves me right, that was all in that time, in the 60s. And the dances were real big and, a lot of the young people that we worked then, would date each other and end up getting married and that hadn't happened here, and I knew maybe 2 or 3 cases. So [Joe] Burks being one, he met his wife here. My sister and-- and her husband met here. And from then on, that's becoming a-- a thing that's more common than not. A lot of the kids did, you know, end up marrying each other-- [INTERRUPTION] but not as elaborate. I think Burks had-- he met-- he met Katthleen here. Keith Cardwell [00:30:27] Yeah. Roosevelt Chin [00:30:28] But it was more just probably opening up Saturday night. I don't think there was the full gym decorating or having-- fans really start picking up once, well, I guess the Beatles, you know-- once guitar start taking over. Up to that point, bands meant trumpets and so forth and actual--- actual musical instruments, trombones and everything and clarinets. Well, I think once the Beatles and the-- the "rock bands" came in,all you needed was a guitar and a drum. So every-- every little group in the neighborhood tried to start a-- start a band and those kind of bands didn't cost a lot and didn't really need a lot of musical talent. So the little teen bands were everywhere. Everybody's garage had somebody's band practicing, and they would come around and ask us if they could, you know, play for the band. And I remember every week we'd feature this and groups would come in. And one-- one day a week, they would come up to our lounge upstairs and play sort of, an audition. And if our teenagers liked them, we'd hired them for the big dance on Saturday night. And more and more-- and I don't remember refusing anybody, but most of them were Cabbage Patch kids anyway or at least one member of the band, and usually there were four, and one member would be a Cabbage Patcher. So, dances, yes-- there were dances in the old days, but not-- not as elaborate as it was in the 60s. Keith Cardwell [00:31:52] Since by this time there were Blacks, involved in all aspects of the Cabbage Patch. Roosevelt Chin [00:32:01] Well, and all that stems in the fact that our philosophy then and this began in the late 50s I guess, 57 first I remember, no, even before that I guess, we were-- the feeling then was, we offered them the same thing, but we didn't mix them. We didn't let them come at the same time. So we have what we'd call the N program, which stands for the Negro program. And we'd closed the-- the game room and gym and the activities at five. Then the Blacks would come in, you know, that's a-- that's a term that came later, the Negroes would come in back then is what was used, and they would stay from 5:00 to 7:00 and they would leave and then the whites would come back in from 7:00 to 9:00 and only if they came out for a team were they together. In fact, at the very beginning, I remember we would have one team that was all Black and one team that was all white, even though they knew each other-- well, maybe they didn't know each other. They weren't in school together or anything. But they did come at different times to play and-- and their very first teams were, we offered them the same team. There would be-- there would be two 17 year old teams, one for the white ones, one for the Black ones. So Ms. Marshall had a vision where she knew that the Blacks were to be treated the same, but she wasn't ready to make the total move where it was completely integrated. She just made sure they all had the same opportunity. They all had a chance to use the game room. They all had a chance to get on the teams. And we did the trips that way. Keith Cardwell [00:33:41] What motivated Miss Marshall to open the doors of the Cabbage Patch to the Blacks after 50 years of not-- 30 years of not having done it? Roosevelt Chin [00:33:52] I think she was always a-- she had that pioneer spirit where she was-- she was willing to try things that other people wouldn't try or were afraid to try. But, you know, there were Blacks before-- Black-- let me qualify that. When-- the general consensus of when when the Blacks used our facilities and joined our group was the Sherman Lewis era. And I remember the story about Sherman was that, you know, he went two or three other places and they wouldn't let him play. And-- but he came here and Joe Burks took a ball and let him play. But he became an All-American, and now the coach-- defensive coach of the Super Bowl champions, the 49ers. The San Francisco 49ers. But that seems to be the-- the thing that everyone recalls when they talk about the integration program. But I can remember even before that, some of Joe Burks's team had Blacks on it, and I remember there was one whole team with nothing but blacks, and I can't remember that coming after the Sherman-- I think it was preceding it. So it was maybe just touch and go back then. But it didn't really count until we completely opened up the building. And that began the time that-- I'm pretty sure because I know when Sherman played football here was in 57, so I would I would always say that was the time, 57, when we opened up everything. But, I think I can remember in the earlier 50s, some of the Blacks having their own teams here. State wise, I'm not positive. Keith Cardwell [00:35:35] Yeah. When-- when did the Cabbage Patch start integrating the teams and-- and allowing the Blacks and whites to use the game room at the same time. Roosevelt Chin [00:35:42] Now at that time the teams and activities were integrated before the facility because the fear of some of the whites and some of the parents and some of the staff was that once we open the doors to anyone using our game room and gym, the-- the proven theory, proven because we'd seen it elsewhere, was when the blacks moved in, the white flight. The whites would move out. That was-- that was certainly happening in the school. Because Central, and I guess [unclear] were all Black, you know, when we were first opening up the schools for the blacks because, well, at that time they strictly went by, place of residence. So naturally, all the Blacks who live downtown would all go to Central and all the whites who have moved out to the suburbs have- would all go to the County school. So just by that selection of where you live, that made it either all Black or all white. So same thing here. We thought once we open it up, all the whites who were moving away-- when I was growing up, the housing project on 13th and Hill was all white. So we could see the-- the Parkway place-- Parkway housing project, and we could see that transition as the Blacks start moving into the project, the whites start moving out. And the-- of course, now it's frankly a totally Black project. And we could see the writing on the wall that once we open our doors, that would happen. And so we thought we better do it step by step. And the first one was to use a controlled group. Football, basketball, would be controlled because you knew who-- who could come out and through your cut system, you could just make sure it wasn't all Black. So we we would able-- we were able to-- well, you hate to use the word quota, but you were able to monitor so that the whole team wasn't all white, which is something we knew wasn't right. And we also knew it couldn't be all Black because that would mean we were chasing all the whites away. So we were able to make a blend that way, because when Sherman played, it was a white and black team. It wasn't all black or all white. And for years, that was the way we operated. Special groups for Blacks and whites were in it whenever was needed. Open free play, we still had that-- the N program. And that didn't change until, gee, I guess when the bussing started in the 70s, in the early 70s or the middle of the 70s when everything started, when we finally opened up the facility to everyone. Plus, at that time, a majority of the Blacks didn't feel like they were being discriminated here anyway because they were at least allowed to come in and participate on teams and in a different club. Because arts and crafts and all that was integrated. Anytime we had a-- we used to-- for a while we did it where-- I can't remember how we did, but I remember there were always two days, Tuesdays and Thursdays, when we tried to have our clubs or hobbies and so forth. And because we knew all the Blacks would also be in the building. We didn't ever want them, you know, although I'm sure they knew it, to see that the whole gym and game room was all white. And then we didn't want the whites to see that hey, the whole game room and gym is Black from 5:00 to 7:00. So we had to come manipulate to make sure that the two open periods didn't clash and run into other because, you know, we thought that could cause some problems if all the whites, were lined up at one door ready to come in and all the Blacks were leaving by the same door. So I remember we would enter and exit at two different ends of the building so that it would lessen the fact that, hey, you know, you all-- we're letting you all use the Cabbage Patch but not at the same time. But we thought that was bold enough a step to take at that time until the-- until the total integration came about where everybody comes to the same door and [unclear]. But I can remember that we were the very first ones because other agencies would ask us, how come we hadn't had any--- there was one time in Louisville when there were riots everywhere. I can't remember when that was. I'm sure that led up to the-- to the bussing part. And I remember a lot of people were asking us, how come, you know, we were primed for a riot. You know, [unclear], someone would come around and burn the place down and all that and-- and I think we avoided that because they already knew they were using our facilities and that-- that's been going on for, you know, ten years, you know, where some of the guys who played ball here already knew that, hey, they didn't, you know, we didn't go at the same time but we all played ball together and we all came to arts and crafts together and Christmas parties and all that. So I think, they didn't feel that they were being deprived. They were only being kept separate as not to cause any problems. Because every-- every activity was open to them, even though they weren't together. There wasn't anything that we didn't allow them to-- to do with the whites except they did it at separate times. But we never did have any kind of rioting or protest or anything or sit down or sit in at the Cabbage Patch and probably because of Ms. Marshall, we started early enough. Because I think we would have-- I remember, some of the stories I'd heard from some of the other coaches and Joe Burks in particular where the-- where the Black teams would come in and just dominate some white team. And back then the Blacks, you know, Central and some of these other teams, there were a couple of teams in Lexington, Dunbar and a couple of these all Black teams, never played the white schools. The white schools stayed among themselves. The Blacks had their own state tournament, the Blacks had their own national champions and so forth. And, even at that time, I think we had some Black teams here. And whenever we played some other white team, you could just see the superiority of the Black players, that probably they were hungrier and they were, you know-- They were more motivated. And I remember one time Dietsch and I both had 17 year old teams and we met each other in the finals. My team was all white and his team was all black and-- so you really can't pinpoint at what time did we start integrating, because we did it in such a way that it was like-- it was like seeing a relative that you hadn't seen in a long time, and suddenly he's grown up and you didn't really see that he got bigger each day. It was a- such a gradual transition. And it probably came about because of Miss Marshall. And the Cabbage Patch started to early. Keith Cardwell [00:42:28] What kind of relationships were there between the Blacks and the whites after having integrated and all of that, at the teen dances and that sort of stuff? Roosevelt Chin [00:42:44] You know, I don't remember a lot of Blacks participating in that. I think it was open to them. There were a few that came around, but, and there again, the other problem that kind of went away was also at that time they didn't-- they stopped doing the slow dancing in the close dancing. It was all just standing on your own, doing the twist, you know, doing whatever it was that they're doing. So in that way, we didn't have that boy girl type of problem that we --everybody thought we were going to have, because it was mostly dancing alone. You didn't touch anybody else, you know? I think that was what was so strong in the 70s. And I can't really remember the Blacks and whites causing any kind of a problem once we opened it up to-- and, you know, I can't really actually remember how we offered Black-- I don't think we had dances for them. A little bit-- that's a little-- that's a little hazy right now, I can't remember. You know, I can remember everything we had for the whites we also had for the Blacks. But I don't remember that being the case with the dancing. I remember the out of town trips, because we would go to Butler for swimming with the white kids, and then we'd announce, "Hey, next Thursday we'll be up with another group." And so they would be expecting the Cabbage Patch group to come but this time it would be all black, you know, and we were doing it that way in those days, but I can't remember the dances at all being done that way. Keith Cardwell [00:44:12] Yeah. Did you have any problems at Butler or any other place when you-- Roosevelt Chin [00:44:16] Yeah. I remember a couple of the-- couple of the groups like that, the blacks would do a lot of-- but again, you can't say it that way because you're-- you're, stereotyping the blacks being the thieves. One group went there and there was a lot of stealing in the gift shop and all that. And I remember, that we had [unclear] taken drastic measures to counteract that. And there again, there was probably-- even society wasn't quite ready for a whole bus load of Blacks to come in. So, in a stereotype type of attitude the shopkeepers all said "oh, they're Black? They stole it." You know, that type of-- where it could have been anybody else stealing it too, you know. Nowadays, you know, it's accepted that, you know, the color of a person has nothing to do with if he's a thief or not. But in those days I think the fact that-- I guess it was quite imposing to see a bus load of Blacks come in if, you're not ready for it. And so I think anything that went wrong, immediately they'd say, "All the Black kids from Cabbage Patch did it." Keith Cardwell [00:45:14] Were you ever refused admission to any place? Roosevelt Chin [00:45:17] I think we checked ahead of time. We were quite aware that some of the other places around the state just weren't ready for us yet. I remember camping, you know, when we negotiate for a campground, you always mentioned that "We have some Blacks in our group." Because we knew, a lot of places weren't doing it yet or were slower to doing it or else hadn't done it to the degree that we had done it. I remember that was always part of our groundwork that we did before the groups. Keith Cardwell [00:45:52] On these long trips you would take to Washington and New York or Canada, how did the financing, allow for such a trip? Roosevelt Chin [00:46:04] You know, again, I wasn't-- we didn't operate as a budget as such. It was just a question of Ms. Marshall would look into the-- she would have 2 or 3, friends of her, they would manage her books, and she would just make a phone call that we had the funds to send this bunch on a trip. So I think there was a budget in her head but it was never written down that you had this much to spend for your camping program. And it was the question of the staff convincing her that it was worth-- it was a worthwhile activity and she would get the money for it. And if there wasn't the money or it was short she would make some phone calls with some of her friends and say, "Hey, we need this much more before we can allow them to go" and [unclear] a check. So you would almost have to say it was her individual efforts that solicited the money to go whenever it was over and above what we normally would have spent. Keith Cardwell [00:47:00] What was your title during the years of 60 to 69? Roosevelt Chin [00:47:04] Just Cabbage Patch staff. We hadn't worked up an organizational chart. We had no designation of who did what. I just know, I wasn't-- I just, by my training would sort of move in on the arts and crafts department. And Dietsch just sort of moved into the women's athletics and the running the whole gaming and gym program. And Cooksey was more into the home visiting and discipline and the counseling and the football program. But it was never pointed out that you're in charge of this area and you're in charge of that area. Keith Cardwell [00:47:41] When did that time come about where you came by title? Roosevelt Chin [00:47:47] After Miss Marshall was inactive. She was in the nursing home for a while, and I think it was just by direction but we did it in such a piecemeal fashion. Sort of like a family running a store. There was no need to, write down that you're the stock clerk and I'll do the mopping, you know. Everybody just did it. But once Miss Marshall was out of the picture, I think people who stepped in to try to continue the operation were amazed and they'd say, "How did anybody know what they were doing? No one knew when they started out." But I think at that point, the board and some of the other people started asking, you know, we had to-- we had to be more professional about it and defend it in a better way. And I think that's when we started working up organizational charts and budgets. And I think that interim period when Dietsch was the executive director, was when we really first start getting into budget and so forth. The [unclear] Miss Marshall had with us, that was never, never, a problem with the staff. She took care of all that. Keith Cardwell [00:48:47] What year did Miss Marshall become inactive? Roosevelt Chin [00:48:55] She died when the sewers blew up, so that was 80, I think 81 when she died. I guess, about a six year period. She had-- she had gotten mugged over at the Puritan hotel on 4th and Ormsby. She had pulled the car up and somebody reached in the passenger window and wanted her purse and as determined as Miss Marshall was she wouldn't let go. And I think the guy swung and hit her in the face. She took off and he was hanging out the window and finally got, 100 yards down before the guy finally let go and fell out and she was just shaken up by that. And I think that was the first sign I had that she-- this lady had had it, you know, she's really getting weak, she [unclear]. And I remember she took a trip and fell, I don't know if she fell in the train or the ship or what, and broke her hip, and they had to bring it back, and, you know, she-- they replaced her hip with a plastic one. And she was in a nursing home, and we felt, "Well that's it. She'll be in a nursing home the rest of her life." And you know, she moved out her nursing home and came back to the Cabbage Patch, not doing anything except being on the phone and conducting board meetings. And then I can't remember why she had a relapse, but they came to the point where she couldn't even do that. But she went back in a nursing home again when, where she dies actually. So there were two times when she was in nursing home: once after the hip and once because she just wasn't capable of doing it again. Keith Cardwell [00:50:31] What was the name of the nursing home? Roosevelt Chin [00:50:32] Gee, it was right across from Bowman Field. I guess it was Trimble County. Her first nursing home was Mount Holly out on Frankfurt avenue when she first broke her hip, but Cooksey and I would make, well I guess Dietsch did too, daily runs to her. She was so particular in what she wanted to eat and who would cook it and all that. And she recovered from that and came back here, because, then it became Mrs. [unclear], the secretary of [unclear], Cooksey, Dietsch and I taking turns taking her home, picking her up, taking her home. Keith Cardwell [00:51:05] She still lived at the Puritan? Roosevelt Chin [00:51:06] At the Puritan, right. And I remember sometimes, you know, it'd be a three hour thing just to get her home, get her on the bed, make some tomato soup for her in the little kitchenette there, and feeding it to her, and then leaving and wondering how she's gonna get-- She was too weak to even get up and wash herself or get dressed for the next day. And I think she had a sitter for a while who would come in at 5:00 and sit through the night and-- but none of them would last. You know, she was just so demanding and so particular in the way she wanted things done. She went through I think probably every sitter in the city of Louisville, until she could get somebody that she could get along with. And then when something happened, they'd quit on her and she'd have to find somebody else. Meanwhile, all that time, in order for her to be at the Cabbage Patch, one of us would have to respond to her calls and pick her up, bring her in, lie her down on the couch at the end of the room and she operated up via the little couch there. And then the whole day she would just lie there and, answer the phone, or we'd come in with questions and she'd tell us who to call to get an answer. Until she got to the point where she could-- just couldn't do it. There were many nights when she was ready to go home, we would almost have to bodily pick her up. Get the juices flowing again so she could walk to the car. So there were two nursing homes [unclear]. Mount Holly for the hip, and Twinbrook, for when she just got too old. Keith Cardwell [00:52:36] How was it during that time of transition from Miss Marshall being such a dominant force to her being-- Roosevelt Chin [00:52:45] I think there was, the word's not resentment, but I think there was a lot of uncertainty in staff and volunteers in program. Suddenly we were without our captain or the person who guided the ship, and everybody was just running around doing whatever they thought was something they'd been doing all along. And I think, at the interim, the board of directors asked Dietsch to be the-- to be the director here. So I know there were a lot of conflicts at that time. I think Dietsch-- none of us were really groomed to do this type of job because Miss Marshall did it all. So we knew very little about who to call for funds or how they did the budget if there was a budget, or how to appropriate tasks to all the staff members. So when Dietsch was asked to do it, I know there were a lot of-- the type of attitude, "Well, Miss Marshall could tell me to do it, but I'm not going to accept it when Dietsch tells me to do it," especially if we did it in an unusual way, because Miss Marshall did it in an unusual way. And at that time I remember everyone starting to form their own organization chart. You know, there wasn't one. You know, in other words I would start saying, "Well, I don't agree with how the football's done, I'm not gonna do football anymore, I'm just gonna concentrate on my arts and crafts." And then Cooksey would feel, "Well, they're not doing this the way I think it ought to be done. I'm just going to start doing my counseling and my own thing too." And then there again, Dietsch. Dietsch would do it the way he thought that Miss Marshall or he wanted it done. So there were a lot of-- a lot of growing pains and struggling, each in his own way, with no one person making it cohesive. Keith Cardwell [00:54:47] Was there any fear at that time that the cabbage patch would fold? Roosevelt Chin [00:54:55] Yeah, I think there was-- not "fold," but not be the same, was the biggest concern. We didn't want it to just become a community center like all the other places. There was something-- there was something unique about the Cabbage Patch, and it's hard to pinpoint what it is, but I think we were more individual oriented, rather than just services oriented. We knew who was coming. We cared about them. They'd be coming for a lot of years. And I think we were feeling we were losing that. But I think even-- even after Dietsch was here for a while, there was always that feeling that the board would step in and change it. I think the board could see, you know, this budget and able to report to us. You know, we didn't do monthly reports, you know. She did it all. We didn't present budgets at the end of the year. It was all in her head. And anything special that came up, like buying a bus or-- or funding a large ship, we had no idea how to come up with [unclear] because before we'd just run to Miss Marshall. So in a way, we were really ill prepared to take over for her because she did it so much of her-- on her own. So I think the board could sense-- and it must've been frustrating for Dietsch too, because he was-- he was in here-- he was in the middle, you know, he was trying to-- trying to be part of the team, of the staff. And then here he-- here at the other end the board was bombarding him with all these questions. How, you know, "How are we running this thing? How come no one knows what we're doing?" You know, and so forth. And, well-- so he was kind of caught in the middle, and I think everyone could sense that something had to be done. You just can't flounder this way. A lot of-- a lot of short tempers and there was a lot of refusing to work with each other and there was a lot of activities canceled because we thought the other person wasn't backing what we were doing. And it was hard to convince another staff member to do it, even though it was hard to convince Miss Marshall. I think Miss Marshall-- Miss Marshall's diplomatic talents were so much greater. She would individually go for the others, and saw that all three of us agreed. But now there wasn't that arbitrator there. And sp each one just went their own way. Keith Cardwell [00:57:21] What kind of power struggle did you see with the board who seemed to me-- [crosstalk]. Roosevelt Chin [00:57:26] [Crosstalk]-- There were some who were still the old, Miss Marshall's friend who knew us and call us their boys, you know, and watched us grow up and mature here, who still felt like even though we-- we weren't quite as professional as we should have been, they weren't either as board of directors. They were just good friends of Miss Marshall. They had a good heart. They cared about what happened to this place. There was that faction and-- and there was the new blood who were coming in, who were the young professionals. Well, not young, but they were professional type of people. Because there again, without Miss Marshall at the helm, a lot of the board members, they didn't know what to do either. So they'd say, "Let's make sure so and so comes in. He's a lawyer! And make sure so and so comes in. He's a bookkeeper!" And so some of these professional skilled people would come into the board and, of course, they didn't know anything about the past history of how Miss Marshall ran it. So they could only see, "Hey, this [unclear] they don't even have a budget there. They don't even know how-- you know, they don't have an organizational chart." So you can see the dichotomy of the old time board member who was just really Miss Marshall's friend, and the new professional who saw, "Hey, this is a challenge. They've asked me to come on the board of directors. I'm not gonna sit by and watch this thing flounder." But you could see that. That transition. So eventually, I think the-- after 2 or 3 years and the new members being voted in, I think the new bunch started asking enough questions, that the old bunch, who were again, getting up in their 90s and not able to make all the meetings and so forth, couldn't answer because no one could answer these questions. Miss Marshall had all the answers. So that bunch sort of faded out. And then the newer bunch, the more board oriented type of person, started taking over. And they could see, "Hey, this place is really, really-- there's too many skeletons and too many people not knowing what to do, probably because everyone depended on Miss Marshall so much. So this new bunch started-- started implementing things that we had never been exposed to before. Suddenly, "Hey, we went, you all-- you guys to come up with an organization chart so we'll know what Cooksey's doing. We'll know what Chin's doing." And they'd start coming up with things like, "You've got to work out some kind of budget. You know, we can't make decisions. We can't make both-- we don't even know how much we're supposed to be spending. And you all go through those programs and you all come up with a budget." And none of us really know how to set up a budget. And a lot of those little things, were the writing on the wall. I mean, you just sensed [unclear]. Keith Cardwell [01:00:03] Was it during this time with Cooksey left? Roosevelt Chin [01:00:07] Yeah, it almost straddled it. There was-- there was something nebulous about the, Cooksey leaving. I mean, even to this day, I don't think anyone could really pinpoint. There again, you hate to repeat rumors. You hate to, you know-- you can only speculate. And the three areas I can think of, was-- was number one, he was finishing up his-- [end of recording] Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Roosevelt Chin [00:00:01] Yeah. We have to get on a streetcar to ride out to central. [Rod] Napier reemerged himself through the University of Louisville. Then, when the opportunity came for him to switch from teaching to working full time, at the Cabbage Patch, he took that. I keep feeling it more as a favor to me because there were many phone calls when I was telling him my concerns that the Cabbage Patch was starting to deteriorate. And so he came on board to kind of-- kind of soften the transition. Keith Cardwell [00:00:32] Is he still-- Roosevelt Chin [00:00:33] Yeah, he's still here. He is now the assistant director here. Keith Cardwell [00:00:38] Okay. Let's go through the titles of everybody so that I can get them clear and-- Roosevelt Chin [00:00:45] Right. Tracy Holladay is the executive director. Keith Cardwell [00:00:47] Okay. Roosevelt Chin [00:00:47] And under him, there are probably, what, five departments. The day care department, which is Carolyn [unclear], there's the social services department, which is Liz Kestler, and there is the facilities department, which is Dietsch, and there is the, activities department, which is Napier. And because I couldn't find a department, they just gave me the overall title of special programs. Anything that comes up that doesn't cover, I can handle because my experience was so vast. Keith Cardwell [00:01:23] Okay. Roosevelt Chin [00:01:26] So we're-- Dietsch, Napier and I are sort of in the-- in the same level as far as performance of activities. Although Napier, is closer to the front office, Tracy, than the rest of us. I go through Napier to get to the front office. Keith Cardwell [00:01:40] Okay. Roosevelt Chin [00:01:41] And vice versa. And that's almost set up on purpose to form the buffer between the disagreements and problems that Dietsch and Cooksey and I had. You know, who was supposed to be what? Keith Cardwell [00:02:01] I appreciate your time. I didn't intend for us to spend this long today on it, but all the information has been really valuable. I think not only for my own work, but-- Roosevelt Chin [00:02:15] Yeah. Keith Cardwell [00:02:16] For good record of the history, particularly the current history. So that years from now, people will have access to it. Thanks for. Spending your morning over here with me. Roosevelt Chin [00:02:29] Right. [END OF SESSION] Roosevelt Chin [00:02:33] You know, that first time we walked into this neighborhood. And of course nowadays Sundays, you can't tell Sundays from Saturday. Everything's open. Cars everywhere. Keith Cardwell [00:02:40] Yeah. Roosevelt Chin [00:02:43] Now, I remember the first time I went to the Cabbage Patch. I remember we cut through Saint James Court, and I was just fascinated with Saint James Court. It was much like it is now, except the people who lived there owned those houses then. I guess they're more renters now. I remember cutting through Saint James Court, and I can remember-- I don't remember cutting through the alley, but I think we came through Magnolia. But I remember when I came into the Cabbage patch, I thought I was going into a house and I was going to play in someone's back room, not knowing what a gym was, I don't think, because I remember coming through this-- the side door now-- it's not a door anymore for entrance, but that's where it was, right here. And I remember coming in, signing my name and just following my brother who had been here before. He said, "This is the way we go." And I remember standing in this hallway, waiting for that door to unlock. This is the long hallway that leads into the gym, and I can remember I was starting to feel tense, because people were starting to say, "whose team you going to be on first?" And we were kind of getting ready for the-- when the door open, so we could know which- what gym or floor we're running to or whose team were going to play on, and years later, I can remember how that was much ado about nothing. Because after years and years of watching other kids, I assume they went through the same thing to, of tension, the apprehension. Because now when I pick my senior citizens up and bring them in for-- I can hear them, "Oh, are you going to play peanuts with us?" "No, I think I'll sit with Alex time. I want to play bridge this time." And then, there was that little maneuvering to see what tables-- because you didn't want to be left out without a partner. Yeah. And I remember we stood there and talked about, "Who are we going to play against? No we don't take," they called me Rosie then, "We don't take Rosie, you go down to the other one and shoot. And if we lose, we'll pick you on the next team," you know, we were already planning how we would do it so you wouldn't be like a wallflower. Back there just standing there with nobody wanting you to play with them. I can-- I very vividly remember that. There was that relief, when you knew what team you were going to be on, "We get in there, you stay with us." This is called the main end, the end closest to the-- to 6th Street. "Don't run down to the other end. You stay at the main end so when we pick teams, you'll be there." And I remember all that planning and strategies to get into the gym. And it was such a big thing to us-- to me then. And I remember coming back later, a week or two later by myself, and I walked down Hill Street. The hill was a main thoroughfare, and I remember coming to Saint James Court and looking-- walking to the left of the court and then walking past Sixth Street, forgetting that Sixth Street was where Cabbage Patch was. I remember getting all the way up to 18th and Hill, because I would stop at different stores and I would look and I was just so amazed at the neighborhood, and I remember passing the government project which was Park-- Parkway Place because it was all white then so I had no-- I had no, anxieties about walking through the neighborhood, you know. As it is now, when you walk past Seventh, it's all Black. But it was all white. I remember going as far as Eighteenth and Hill, and I can remember saying, "Well, I know we didn't go this far." And I remember turning around and finding Saint James Court again, and I don't think I ever found Cabbage Patch that day, but I just-- I just had an exploratory walk of my own. Keith Cardwell [00:06:03] What were some of the-- some of the things you experienced on that walk? Roosevelt Chin [00:06:08] I remember a big furniture store and years later, I found that furniture store which is on, Ninth and Hill, Tenth and Hill. I remember stopping in a hardware store and there again, they were-- they were the kind of hardware store that just had everything. The one on Douglass Loop, that way. Spangles, that hardware store-- birdcages, you name it, they had it. And I remember there was one-- I get to the Seventh and Hill or 18th and Hill-- that had everything in there. I don't remember seeing people. I remember seeing an old man walking on a railroad track. He had a cane, because I was afraid I would get kidnapped. I guess this is, you know, the stories you hear from your parents. "Don't wander in different neighborhoods." And I remember avoiding-- avoiding the man at the railroad tracks, so that must've been up to at least Fifteenth because there's a railroad track up that way. And-- and the whole time I was kept-- I kept thinking I was coming to the Cabbage Patch, but unbeknownst to me, I already passed Sixth Street. In fact, you know, I overshot it by 12 blocks. I remember finally getting to 18th and 18th was very busy. Throughout my life, the-- the criterion for a busy intersection was always Fourth and Broadway. And I remember going to Eighteenth and Hill and saying, "This is just like Fourth and Broadway," and back then I think Eighteenth Street had a movie house. They had, you know, a little five and ten cents store and shoe stores and everything like that. But I remember that was my first revelation, that there were other intersections that were just as busy as Fourth and Broadway. If you haven't gone in town, Fourth and Broadway was the epitome of hustle and bustle and buildings and stores and everything. And I remember getting to Eighteenth and Hill and being impressed at how crowded it was. And then I remember, it was years later before I finally-- well, after I started driving and knew my way, that I finally went back to Eighteenth and Hill to see if it was like the way I remembered it was. And it was. I couldn't have been more than fifteen. Fifteen and just-- first time out of town-- out of downtown Louisville and taking that walk. Keith Cardwell [00:08:23] Did you-- do you remember what neighborhood designations? Roosevelt Chin [00:08:29] No, not at all. I remember, only because I played ball against the Fort Hill gang. And Fort Hill is, I guess, where the incinerator is. Merriweather and Preston? Up about that way. And I remember the impression we had of the kids in Fort Hill is how tough they were. And, that was the only neighborhood distinction I can remember. That and all the Catholics were on the same [unclear]. That was always a no-no with Miss Marshall. She didn't want us to really associate with the Catholics. She didn't want us to compete with them. She didn't want us to hang around with them. Keith Cardwell [00:09:06] Did she have any reason-- [crosstalk] Roosevelt Chin [00:09:07] I think it was just her strict conservative Protestant belief. You know, I'd-- more than once or twice I'd heard her saying-- say things like, you know, "they worship idols," and-- and how the priest would try to get you to become a Catholic and all that. Lot of fears instilled in us. Keith Cardwell [00:09:35] Was Lloyd Redman working here? Or do you remember? Roosevelt Chin [00:09:41] I don't remember Lloyd Redman until I played ball for him, but I'm sure he was around. Just-- just understanding the history of the Cabbage Patch and-- and the chronological set up of who worked when--. Keith Cardwell [00:09:59] Yeah. Roosevelt Chin [00:10:00] I imagine he was here, but I don't remember any dealings with him until I played ball for him. Keith Cardwell [00:10:05] What years did you play ball for him? Roosevelt Chin [00:10:07] Gee, I guess I had already tore my legs up. I had already-- I guess I was in college then, freshman or junior in college, and went out for his men's team, or his [unclear]. I remember he brought some UofL football players to play. I remember, a couple of them became big, big stars later on, who played on those teams. Because I was in awe of them. You know, I could've came up to their chests, you know, I was so short. But there again, I remember, you know, I felt comfortable once they knew I could play basketball. Because I can remember Redman bringing in some of these players. And-- and I remember at the time, I knew they weren't Cabbage Patchers because I hadn't seen them in the gym. And I think they were his, I guess, classmates. I guess he was at UofL then too or had just finished at UofL. And I can remember Jim Gatewood, who later became a principal and a FBI man, and a guy named, I think, Getcher, who later became a board of directors or school board or some other prestigious position that you would see his name in the paper so I can remember and say, "I used to play ball with him." And that was my first recollection of Redman. Keith Cardwell [00:11:28] What year did you start college? Roosevelt Chin [00:11:31] 52. Keith Cardwell [00:11:35] And--. Roosevelt Chin [00:11:36] At the University of Louisville. Keith Cardwell [00:11:39] How did the Cabbage Patch help you in making your decision to go to college? Roosevelt Chin [00:11:47] Well, I think I always knew I wanted to go to college. I just didn't go into it as far as preparation for it, you know, looking through catalogues, decide where I was going or how to pay for it and all that. I just-- I think I all along assumed my father would pay for it. And I can remember, of course, going to Male High School, which was a college prep school then. We were all qualified to go to college. And I remember-- I can remember my 10th grade, I made a E in Latin. Back then-- getting-- you know, Latin-- we took Latin. I was making a D in geometry. And I can remember-- I don't know-- I can't remember if it was Miss Marshall or my mother telling me, "Hey, you're not going to college if you don't get those grades up." And I remember really making an effort my junior, senior year. And, you know, I ended up graduating in honors society so I must've really, really pulled my grades in order to, with just the drastic beginnings. And I remember knowing I was going to college, but not knowing where. And, I think at that time the influence of going to UofL came by the circumstances, because I knew if I worked at the Cabbage Patch, I could be earning some money as I was going to UofL and that-- that worked real, real fine. And I think because of that situation, UofL was my only choice because if I went elsewhere, I wouldn't be able to work at the Cabbage Patch, you know, if I went out town, that is. So I think that was almost a foregone conclusion that I would end up at UofL. I really can't pinpoint why I went to UofL, other than the fact that, "Hey, if I stayed at UofL I can still work at the Cabbage Patch. Keith Cardwell [00:13:34] What kind of work were you doing? Roosevelt Chin [00:13:36] I can remember going to class at UofL, walking over here at 12:00 and emptying all the garbage cans, sweeping the gym floor, dusting all the game room apparatus, and then walking back to, UofL for an afternoon class, then at 3:00 walking back over here to play ball, and then went back home at 5:00, came back at 6:00 or at 7:00, played ball, and walked back at 9:00. So it was a lot of walking back then. I remember, you know-- I remember one time I think it was-- it was eight trips over and back to the Cabbage Patch in one day, because I remember I used to say things like, "I've got to do a better plan" because I would play ball so intensely and of course, with-- with my bad knees. I used to transfer the shock and the strain from my lower leg to my upper leg. And-- and I remember walking home and somewhere around Third and Magnolia, I had to sit on the curbstone of people's front yards because my thighs would cramp up. Just so much running and jumping, and I guess walking back and forth to the Cabbage Patch, and I can remember sitting there doubling over, massaging my thighs, saying "I'll never make it home. Next day, I've got to get a better plan, not to walk so much to the Cabbage Patch, you know, better scheduling I guess. Because I remember that it was a lot of walking back and forth. It got to the point, I used to count the lines, I used to count my steps. It was always mind games to-- to get to the Cabbage Patch. And I remember for a while, my brother and I used to walk in different directions. We'd kind of almost like see if we could come out at [unclear] at the same time. He would go down Burnet and up Fourth, up Hill Street. And I would go down Burnett and up Magnolia. And we'd see if we'd come up the same place. And all these little games-- I think we got so-- we got so tired of walking over to the Cabbage Patch. I mean, I guess for a month, we didn't miss a day coming over here. Keith Cardwell [00:15:34] What do you remember about Miss Marshall, from your early days here as a student in college, and-- Roosevelt Chin [00:15:42] Well even before that, the first introduction was her at this front door watching us sign our names. And I remember she would always comment on me and how good my penmanship was. And there again, I get that all the time, because I think people who first see me think I'm straight over from China and had no idea "How-- how could he learn to write so well, you know, in the few months he's been here?" Well, I was born here. They don't know that. Because I remember Miss Marshall used to get at the-- some of the kids, and she'd say, "Well, look how good Roosevelt signs his name!" And I would-- I thought at that time I had a grown up looking handwriting. And I remember her complimenting, on it. I remember she always wore a black coat with a little brown fur collar, and she always wore gloves. And she was kind of-- I wouldn't-- I don't want to say imposing-- she was kind of-- I don't wanna say it in these words-- she was almost witch looking, you know, we were kind of scared of her like, you know, she was-- she didn't raise her voice or [unclear] just her-- her demeanor. I think she she knew what she was doing and she knew she was in charge of the place, she knew it was her place, you know. And I think it came across that even though she was-- well, I guess she was old then-- even though she was an old lady, you didn't cross your path. I remember that. Seeing her just from the side door here, if you came in, I remember another kid who could really shoot basketball. And he used to always walk up to me and say, "Wanna play me a game?" Because I think he wanted to show me that he could out-shoot me. And that was one of my strengths. I thought I could out-shoot everybody else. And I remember for a long time, for months, we would just shoot baskets, I'd say, "No, I just want to warm up, I got the next game." And we would shoot. And I'd throw him the ball and he'd shoot, and he'd throw me the ball and I'd shoot and we never would competitively go one on one. And he was a good shot. And I remember one day he asked me-- one Saturday morning, we used to be open on Saturday, he said, "I have to leave. I've got some work to do." And we had gotten pretty good friends, mainly because of our basketball. And he said, "You want to come along with me?" And what we did was we walked over to Fourth and Ormsby where Miss Marshall lived. Of course, I had no idea that's where she lived. And this was Gary Schaffer, who later became the head coach at Pleasure Ridge Park high school, and Gary's job was to empty Miss Marshall's garbage cans. She had a three story house that her father left her, and she roomed it out. And that was Gary's job, to empty the garbage can, and I went. I went with him. I remember the first day I didn't really help much. I just followed him around, but he seemed to know Miss Marshall really well, and knew where everything was in the house and-- because he had done it before. And I remember one time he couldn't go, so I went by myself because I had already gone there four or five Saturdays, and Miss Marshall asked me where Gary was, and I told her Gary had to play ball or something, and I told her I would do what Gary did, and I emptied her waste basket, you know, pick everything out in the back. They didn't have plastic garbage bags and I think then, she had-- everything had to be wrapped in newspapers and stuffed into the metal garbage can out in the alley. And, I remember two or three time, going on my own because Gary couldn't make it. And that was the first time I remember helping Miss Marshall. So then the next time she would see me at the Cabbage Patch, she would ask me to do things for her, carry this into the gym, or take this sign-up sheet to-- there was another guy working at the game room who was a, I don't wanna say a cripple, he had polio. His name was Donnie Beckhart. I don't know if he was a student working there part time, but I remember running errands for Miss Marshall, giving things to Donnie Beckhart. Clipboards and sign-up paper, probably because it was hard for Donald to get up, being a cripple. And he would sit in the game room at one of the benches, and it was me-- it was my job to run over there and resupply him with sign up sheets or whatever, and Miss Marshall used to give me directions on what to take him and explain how to tell him what to do. That I remember. Going to her house I remember very well. And her in this front hall. Those were probably the most vivid of my introductions to her. Keith Cardwell [00:19:52] What-- what was her house like? Roosevelt Chin [00:19:54] Oh it was a mansion. It was three story brick, much like ours at the-- on First and Hill, except Ormsby looked a little more expensive. The trees were bigger. There was a nice looking car. Of the course the Puritan was right there in the corner. And you-- you knew you were going into a nicer neighborhood. Much like the way you would feel when you're right over by Cherokee Park. You just knew there was a lot more-- a lot more money in that neighborhood than the one I was coming from. And I remember walking. We would always cut through Central Park to get there. I guess we went from here to Fourth and Park Avenue, which would be diagonally across Central Park and then right up Fourth Street-- right up Fourth Street to Ormsby, and her house was the third or fourth one from the corner. I don't remember much about Central Park, except that it was very wooded. I remember the slopes of the park that slope down to the street were just full of underbrush and full of big bushes, because we used to see winos sitting in the bushes and drinking their wine, and it was always a little scary to walk through that park until you passed and got into the open field. Keith Cardwell [00:21:18] What was the area around Sixth Street like at that time? Roosevelt Chin [00:21:24] I remember everybody lived there because all my friends that I met here all lived-- you know, Gary Shafer was around the corner, and his two, three buddies that-- that played ball with us was next door to him. I remember, one of the girls that came out here lived right on the street. She was here all the time. I remember, another good ball player down the street. So everyone that-- that was a good ballplayer lived somewhere right within a block of here. At least, I thought they lived within a block. And, it was all families, and if not-- they weren't rooming-- rooming houses. Everyone owned their house. I remember the sidewalks. There were all these little hexagon bricks. I guess it's not hexagons, maybe octagons, eight sides, those little-- funny little bricks, because that always bothered me with my trick knee. You know, every time I walked, I had to be very careful because they were all uneven, you know, as the roots grew up underneath them. And I can remember the outstanding thing of walking in that neighborhood, especially down Magnolia was be careful for those things. I didn't want to knock my leg out unless I was playing basketball. I didn't want to be injured on the way to the gym. And I remember this neighborhood because of that. And I remember we used to wait to play baseball, and we would always bang our bats on the ground and I remember we'd end up cracking these blocks, which we knew we weren't supposed to do. Keith Cardwell [00:22:51] Do you have any unpleasant memories of the neighborhood [unclear] first, where you lived or over in this-- Roosevelt Chin [00:22:58] No, I remember a couple of big fights between kids from Cabbage Patch that would carry over into the park, and I-- because that was the direction I went home, down Magnolia, and I would kind of halfway pretend I was going home, but I would take a good look at the fight before I went on, and they were usually people I knew and people that-- and I was kind of scared them, they're going to instill that intimidation factor. The ones that didn't play ball I was scared of. Keith Cardwell [00:23:26] You said there were fights that were carried over from the cabbage patch. They would get angry at each other here. And then go outside and fight it out. Roosevelt Chin [00:23:32] Right. Now, I was already aware of, you know, cuss words and things like that from living in downtown, but I wasn't aware of the actual physically hitting and kicking and people jumping in and hitting while you were down, that type of thing. I remember two or three big fights over in Central Park. I remember Mr. Redman was the one that straightened-- that put the fear in everybody to not fight. Just from his bigness and his voice. But I don't remember any direct dealings with Redman as far as, this thing, except one time, the only time I've ever been put out of Cabbage Patch was-- Mr. Redman-- There was one of those tournaments we had here and there again, I remember. We finally invited Saint Louis Bertrand, some of the Catholic teams to be in our tournament and it was between games and the next team, was out warming up, and I think my team playing for Redman had just finished. And I always had this perception, you know, I was one of the star players. They couldn't do anything to me. So I ran out and took some some one handers out there, or I guess [unclear] shots back then, when I wasn't supposed to go, because the next team was supposed to have the floor. And I remember Redman hollering, he called me Dutchman, and he had said "Dutchman get off the floor." I had my shoes on and everything, which was a no-no back then. And I remember, of course all my teammates were sitting around and-- and all the next teams are coming up, and I think it was my way to show, hey, this kid can hit, you know, I was standing there just shooting away. And I wasn't even supposed to be there and the other team was out warming up and, I remember Redman finally walked up and he had a lanyard or I guess a leather thing on his whistle, and he whipped that thing, and he slashed me across the back of my thighs. And he said, "Get out of this gym if you can't do what you're told." And I remember that was the only-- one and only time I ever been put out of Cabbage Patch. Keith Cardwell [00:25:19] What year was that? Roosevelt Chin [00:25:20] I guess I was about eighteen, nineteen, freshman in college or something like that. Keith Cardwell [00:25:26] Why did they to call you Dutchman? Roosevelt Chin [00:25:29] I think because-- I can't remember this but just from-- just from, deduction, I think he called me Chinaman one time, and I think I corrected him because I'd done that before. Chinaman is a slur word for the Chinese. It's like "nigger." And if you call me a Chinese, I didn't mind. You know, a kid from China, didn't matter. But if you called me Chinaman, it was a slur word. And I remember I was always correcting people. Of course, the war had just been over. And the only kind of discrimination we used to get were the people who say, "Chink, chink, Chinaman," as we walked by, or they'd say-- they'd blame us for starting the war thinking we were Japanese? I said, when we were very little living downtown they required us to wear a little emblem that had a cross flag of a China flag, and American flag, just to let people know, "Hey, I'm Chinese, I'm not Japanese. I'm not the one that started the war." Because now they've-- the revelations is that all the Japanese were sent to encampments in California, but that was unbeknownst to us in this part of the United States. That was out in the West coast where all the Orientals were. And, I'm sure it was in the papers. I just wasn't-- at my age I wasn't reading-- I wasn't reading the world news. But they used to require us to wear a Chinese and American type of emblem. We hated to wear them. But I think Redman in a slip of the tongue must have called me Chinaman. And I must have took him aside and say, "Hey, don't ever call me that again," because I remember saying that to other people who would make the mistake, and I remember correcting teachers who would say, you know-- and you know-- "And the Chinaman came over," and they would give them a history lesson, or we were talking about the war, current events, and I would later walk up. I was very diligent about that. "Pardon me, but, you know, [unclear] be called Chinaman and I would say the same thing, I've just been saying years. "You call me Chinese or call me a Chinese person or boy from China. But don't call me Chinaman." And I must have said that to Redman, because as a way to remember not to do that, he started calling me Dutchman. Yeah, I think that's where it-- and the other kids didn't pick it up for that reason. They just heard Redman call me Dutchman. A lot of kids that I grew up with called me Dutch or Dutchman. Because I remember they'd say, "Hey, Dutch can really shoot," you know, using that name, as the terms of endearment. That and they called me Rosie because my first name is Roosevelt. Or else they'd called me-- there was one more they used to call me. Rosie, Dutch and Chino. They'd call me Chino. An ode to my last name. So that-- I think that was the way-- reason Redman called me a Dutchman. Although I can't remember the actual time when I walked up and corrected him. Keith Cardwell [00:28:15] I want to move on to-- to talk a little bit more about your college. You went to U of L. Started in 52. Roosevelt Chin [00:28:22] Yeah. And I should have got out in 55, but I didn't. I got to working here. I remember running out of money because at that time my brother was going to UK, my sister was going to Syracuse, and my other sister was going to a Catholic university in Washington. In fact, all six Chins had gotten college degrees so I was the one that was latest when my father left us. And so money was getting scarce. All these people going away to college. And I remember since I was working and I was in town, you know, I could go with less money than anybody else. You know, "Roosevelt can always make his own money." So I remember working here more and more increasingly and taking a smaller load at University of Louisville. So I really didn't-- I almost quit college, I think. I guess by the time-- by the time in 55, when I should have graduated, I had been-- I wasn't going to college because I remember saying, "Oh, my class is graduating. I should be graduating." So I remember telling Miss Marshall that I think I should be in art because I had always like art. I'd always been interested in it, even though I was pre-med at the University of Louisville and doing hard work, you know? They threw me in taking calculus, taking biology, taking chemistry without really a good background in high school, because in high school, I was in art. I took a lot of freehand art, I took a lot of mechanical drawing and things like that. But there again, I think it's that old thing where the-- where the mother and father, wants their sons to be lawyers and doctors. [END OF SESSION] Keith Cardwell [00:30:05] My name is Keith Cardwell and we're at the Cabbage Patch. Tape number three of the interview with Roosevelt Chin. Roosevelt Chin [00:30:13] And there was that feeling that he had just gotten his degree, and I thought he was bitching about the fact that I remember him presenting things to Miss Marshall, that he-- he would stay if we would provide some kind of counseling office for him so he can utilize some of this training. And I think that-- I think Miss Marshall turned that idea down, that had something to do with us. There was some kind of falling out, not a complete falling out, but there was some kind of disagreement between Cooksey and Miss Marshall, regarding a, I don't know-- a particular house or something that was for Cooksey's mother or something. She had done something for them or something. And there again, you know, the details never really emerged. And then there was the turmoil that was going on here with Cooksey, Dietsch and Chin, the triumphant couldn't always agree, and everyone just had their own way. And there was sort of like a almost like a team struggle, because when you have three and you have to vote, there's always gonna be one person that balances a unanimous vote, you know, and more often than not, Cooksey- Cooksey and I would side on one side and there was Dietsch on the other side. And that made it kind of difficult. And the more that happened, the more Dietsch felt like we were stacking up the odds against them. And that would require him to counteract by coming up with policies that say, "Hey, you two can't do this, the policy's this and this," you know? And then we would feel like he railroad what the policy is just to kind counteract the fact that we voted against it. So all those circumstances kind of add together. And it was a sudden-- there was a sudden announcement that he was getting married and he was leaving. [unclear]. And, although I don't-- I don't sense-- I don't sense a, deterioration of Cooksey's feel for the Cabbage Patch. I think it just the question of availability. He was just so involved with his doctoring career. Of course, he had the family. Now of course, all the major events, he's able to-- he was able to make at least an appearance. So I think falling out wouldn't be an accurate description. It was just that he-- after all this happened, he just wasn't available. It just-- there was nothing [unclear]. So that-- that was the period that was really, you know-- it was the low point of the Cabbage Patch, the way I saw it, that from here on out, we almost had to go up. You know, I think that kind of changed from that point on, and that would be-- that would be the late 70s, early 80s, I guess. Keith Cardwell [00:32:58] Whose idea was it to hire, I'm not sure what his-- what his title is the-- the director? Roosevelt Chin [00:33:05] The executive director. Keith Cardwell [00:33:06] The executive director. Roosevelt Chin [00:33:09] There again. The staff itself was not privy to how those descisions were made. Not-- number one, before it was made, Miss Marshall did it, so she wasn't going to tell us why she did it, you know. And then, number two, in all this turmoil, we weren't included in any decision making. After all, we were the problem. So you never ask the person, you know, the ones that involve the problem, how they solve it, because if they knew, we would've taken care of it ourselves. So I think it was just that-- I think it-- and there again, some of the other staff members have personally told me that-- we think the-- that the executive director was chosen before the offer to solve the problem was brought out. It was one of those things, you know, you already had the answer. I'm going to let them know "Hey, you got the problem, I've got a way to solve it," and the answer shows up. And so we think somewhere along the way the-- it was done backwards, that even though there was a job search and there was a lot of interviews, we think that-- we think the solution was already either stumbled upon or reached in agreement with the board before it was let out that it was going to happen. Does that make sense? Keith Cardwell [00:34:21] Yeah. What were your feelings through this? Roosevelt Chin [00:34:25] I think the overall feeling was my loyalty to the Cabbage Patch was so great that no matter what happened, I knew it had to happen or the Cabbage Patch would fall apart. Cooksey had already left. Dietsch and I were at odds. Staff members from the secretaries on down to the janitors were having problems with the way things were going. There again, they were all the same mold, you know, "Run to Miss Marshall when things that didn't go right." Now, you couldn't do that. A lot of volunteers were beginning to feel that way. "This didn't happen when Miss Mashall was around," that type of attitude. And you could just see it, and you could feel it. The tension and the stress. So no matter what happened, it was almost a relief to me, I think that the "Hey, there's finally, someone stepping in and doing something about it," and that's when we had that change of guard. So I was kind of-- my feeling was, "What took you so long?" Even though I may not agree with the solution, I wasn't going to speak up and rock the boat because I was the one that was saying, "Hey, get me a boat." You know, I didn't care if it was rocking or not. So I think any kind of decision they made, I was ready for it. And, I really, honestly feel like Dietsch was ready for it. I think Dietsch could sense, "Hey, it's not as easy as I thought it was." You know, it was discussed on him, you know, he didn't have any prior training either. You know, Miss Marshall didn't tell him anything extra that-- how she was doing things. So I think-- I think it kind of relieved pressure off of him because he was trying to satisfy not only staff, but the board at the same time. And the whole time he was trying to go through the transition himself. And so I think, in all, those two were the two areas left where Cooksey had already removed himself. And I think that there's almost a sense of relief or a sense of, "I'm glad it's happening." Something had to happen. Keith Cardwell [00:36:21] What's your perception of the Cabbage Patch now? Roosevelt Chin [00:36:27] I think we're back on course. There again, there are still-- there are still methods that I'm not in total agreement with. But there again it's like saying, "The boat is still rocking." But I'm just so glad that there is a boat, you know, that, you know, I'm willing to ignore the rocking, knowing that the boat is there. So I'm-- there's some things I see that I would say, "Well, I don't think Miss Marshall would do it this way," but I think the philosophy and the mission of the Cabbage Patch is back on course again. You know, I feel that-- I'm beginning to feel the same feel I had before when Marshall-- Miss Marshall was running it. The loyalty that kids have for the Cabbage Patch, the variety of activities, the-- the staff that is hard work-- or rather, they care about the kids rather than whether they have the talents, although we like to have both, you know-- the emphasis on caring about the person, the client, rather than caring whether your activities are super or whether your activities are, over 100 people, you know. The important thing is whether you're reaching the individuals. And I'm beginning to see that emerging again. But in the floundering years, I don't think it was. So I think the transition has been nothing but positive all the way around, you know, because I sense a-- I sense a change in Dietsch definitely, and of course, you-- I'm sure he senses a change in me. A lot of the pressure has been released now because the third person isn't here now. And Tracy is-- Holladay is sort of like a new person on the block, so he has a whole new perspective. He's not caught in the Miss Marshall Syndrome that we were in, although he has caught on very quickly on that Miss Marshall permeates everything-- everything we've done around here. You can't you can't escape her, you know, I don't wanna use the word ghost, but you can't-- you can't escape her presence here. Because even though most of her friends and most of her contemporaries have passed away, there are enough of the second generation that are coming around who also had-- were touched by her. So they know what the Cabbage Patch stands for. There's two or three board members who were camp counselors here who came to Sewing School as volunteers, or came as the children. So they keep the Miss Marshall philosophy alive. In fact, when you sit around talking to some of the board members, Miss Marshall's name pops up all the time. So the transition has been good, it was needed, and I think it put us back on course. Keith Cardwell [00:39:01] The power now, held by the board, or held by Tracy, or kind of a mixture-- Roosevelt Chin [00:39:10] Yeah, you don't sense that-- I don't sense that anymore. I think there's enough-- enough built in policy that this will never happen again. It's not going to be-- who was it-- one board member told me, Montgomery Ward was so, insistent on the way Montgomery Wards were run-- I don't know if you're familiar with Montgomery Ward. There's only one, two or three left now in New York and in Chicago, but they used be all over the place, sort of like Sears and Woolworth. And it was dying. They just couldn't-- they couldn't get in the black. And the reason was, the man who started the thing kept insisting on running it with 1930 philosophy, and they finally had to bodily remove him from the office, trying to save the company. And I think we have got enough things written for our policy that it can't happen that way where one person makes all the decision, one person-- to sink or swim on their decision. I think the board has had enough, turnovers so there's enough of a mixture. In fact, the old board members are no longer around. But we have-- we have gotten a new old board members, the ones who were here at the floundering era and the ones who are just stepping in now and seeing everything, working so nice. And so they're kind of-- the ones that went through this transition period are kind of taking the newer ones underway. You know, they've become the veterans now. And I think there are enough things tied into the-- into the way the board is elected. I think now they've got it where you don't just serve the rest of your life in the way Miss Marshall's friends, you know-- some of-- some of Miss Marshall's people, they were on the board as long as I can remember. I think that's no longer possible. And there's all kinds of committees now. Budget committees, long range planning committees, and building and grounds committee, so everything is thought out of-- thought out before it's acted upon, whereas before it was just done on a whim. But I think with both built-in safety precautions, nothing can really-- well you can't say nothing, but the chances of something happening like that, it is lessened, you know, but with this recent Reagan thing, you can never tell who's doing what, in their own department. But I think there are enough safeguards that one person can't just dictate what's going to happen around here. Keith Cardwell [00:41:28] I want to shift back to another focus for just a few minutes. Just have some general questions that maybe you might have some-- some knowledge on. One is, where the Cabbage Patch Settlement House got its name. Roosevelt Chin [00:41:49] The way I explain it to the groups that I talk to and the-- and the group I take around the tour, the name, "Cabbage Patch," preceded the settlement house. The Cabbage Patch was named because the neighborhood grew a lot of cabbages, probably because the River limestone in the-- in the ground or whatever it was, there was a lot of, the term, "truck farming." I don't know why it's called truck farming, except the fact that I think, they didn't grow it for the big wholesale produce places, they just grew it to sell on their own, they would truck it down to what they called the Haymarket. And what they had these farmer's markets, you know, where people pull their truck up with whatever little things they've grown and they would just sell them to people, as opposed to selling it to the Kroger or selling it to the Del Monte or whatever big, growers there were. But I think the neighborhood was called Cabbage Patch, much like Limerick, Saint Matthews, Shively, Beuchel. And then when we started in 1910, Miss Marshall had a board of directors set up on the advice of her father, who was a lawyer, so that Miss Marshall would be-- wouldn't be the sole person responsible for whatever funds she sent. Her advice was, "You gather up some of your friends that are interested and form a board of directors," so that the decision is a group decision, and not just Miss Marshall's own decision. So among her very first charter members was Alan Hegan Rice, who wrote the book "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," and I think she wrote it in 1901. And the Cabbage Patch began in 1910. So it had ten years of exposure in that book, she wrote. And now I-- from what I can tell, it really got popular. It was, you know, a bestseller. It was in seven languages. There's been a couple of movies made of it. It's been a Broadway play, and, it was required reading in some of the elementary schools. So when they came around to naming the place, it was almost a certainty since Rice was on the board, she was the famous person, the neighborhood had gotten famous because of the book, we were in that neighborhood. It led up to calling it the Cabbage Patch Settlement House. But we didn't-- we didn't invent that phrase, "Cabbage Patch," and Mrs. Rice didn't invent "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." This was already Cabbage Patch before it was started. Keith Cardwell [00:44:15] At one time, they changed the name from Cabbage Patch to Ninth and Hill. Roosevelt Chin [00:44:24] I'm not aware of that. Keith Cardwell [00:44:26] Okay. Roosevelt Chin [00:44:27] Changed what Cabbage Patch to Ninth and Hill? Keith Cardwell [00:44:28] Cabbage Patch settlement house. It was changed to Ninth and Hill-- Roosevelt Chin [00:44:35] I'm not aware of that. Keith Cardwell [00:44:35] --Settlement House. And I haven't been able to find out why and then why they changed it back. Roosevelt Chin [00:44:39] I know there were three Cabbage Patches. One was on Seventh and Jordan, I think a little cottage by, a-- by a standard plumbing company, [unclear]. Keith Cardwell [00:44:52] You mentioned in-- in the tape last week, that as a child you had gone to the neighborhood house. Right. That was also a settlement house. Roosevelt Chin [00:45:04] You know, I didn't really know of a settlement house until I came to the Cabbage Patch. We called it "neighborhood house," but I don't know the official name of it. I don't know if it was a community center or what. And it was on first and-- I think first and Liberty or First and Walnut, and I remember later on, it moved out to 22nd and Kentucky or somewhere out in that Midwest end, that I've never heard about too. Keith Cardwell [00:45:35] Okay. What were some of the, just briefly, some of the activities that you remember. Roosevelt Chin [00:45:41] Playing basketball in their back concrete yard. And that was the only goal available to us-- available to us, when we lived in town. And I remember that and I remember, an arts and crafts project where we painted these little plaster molds. We got there one of Abraham Lincoln and that-- that's the only thing I remember. Keith Cardwell [00:46:02] What year was this? Roosevelt Chin [00:46:04] Gee, this would have to be in the early 40s. But I guess if the war was what, between 40 and 45-- it was probably before the war. I was born in 33. So from 33 to 40, I would've been what, seven years old? So it was half-- it was between 40 and 45, because I know I was old enough to play basketball. I don't think I played basketball when I was seven. Keith Cardwell [00:46:31] If you had to sum up in one paragraph or a couple of sentences the effects that the Cabbage Patch, has had on your life. Roosevelt Chin [00:46:39] Yeah. Keith Cardwell [00:46:39] What would that-- Roosevelt Chin [00:46:40] Yeah, it was unique in the sense that not only my life, my whole family's life-- my whole family had been involved with Cabage Patch. My older sister is now in a nursing home. Often wrote to Miss Marshall through me, because Miss Marshall was always giving me things to take home to my sister, who would be home from Washington, D.C., and there would be a potted plant, there would be a box of candy or something. And of course, that would mean that my sister had to write a thank you letter back to Miss Marshall. And when she had-- my sister had her stroke, Miss Marshall was the one that stepped in and got her in the apartment at-- [unclear] while she had her recuperation. My next sister had some mental illness, and she had a problem. And without central state for a while. And Miss Marshall tried to get her to come and do some volunteer work. And Miss Marshall had the feeling that if you just cared enough about a person, you can change it. And her idea was, "If I can just get your sister here and get her involved, she would forget about her own problems. She would forget about her own-- her own situation, and she tried to get her to come and do filing, do typing and so forth. My sister, I think the closest she got was the front porch, and somehow she would get out of it some way. And then while she was in the hospital, the weekends that I would bring her in, Miss Marshall would always call and say, "Hey, I'm going out to dinner, won't you see if your sister would come along?" She was really interested in helping. Helping my family. My third sister went through a divorce. Miss Marshall got her son to come to the Cabbage Patch and involved him in the day care. And later on, he helped rent the second floor of his church around the corner so my sister and her little son could live there. And, the little boy eventually went to the camping program and the teenage activity and now lives out in California. And so Miss Marshall had something to do with my third sister. My fourth sister, the youngest one, had nothing to do with Miss Marshall, but she came to some of the dances and met a Cabbage Patch boy and that's-- they've been married for all these years, and that's through the Cabbage Patch. So all four sisters had some involvement in the Cabbage Patch. Then my brother, of course, came here first and took me over here and later on became a state senator. And he was able to-- to provide some services for-- for Cabbage Patch, you know, as far as getting the-- a change of parking signs, he would make the right call to City Hall, you know, that type of thing. And, I think he was able to get some jobs for some of the teenagers too through his connections, the same thing. So every member of our family, other than my mother. My mother was-- was, unable to hear, she had some ear problems. Consequently, she didn't speak fluent English. So 2 or 3 times Miss Marshall just made me take Miss Marshall over to my house on First and Hill, so Miss Marshall could just walk up and hug my mother, or just hand her a pot of the valley or something. So Miss Marshall felt that she needed to know my mother more, but I was always there separating them, saying, "Hey, my mother can't go out [unclear], she doesn't even know how to dress." She wasn't, you know, she was the old country type of person. She can't make a conversation. How can you-- you know, I was just too embarrassed to have both of them really get to know each other too well. And, I-- Miss Marshall would almost insist as I was taking her home, "You jump in my house. I want to give this flower to your mother." So they met 2 or 3 times that way. So of all the whole family, I guess my mother and Miss Marshall knew less of each other than any of the family. And then as far as me, you know, from the time I can-- 13 on up, everything I've done has been some kind of prodding or reprimand from Miss Marshall. You know, when I was first coming around here, I was I was quite wild, having grown up in town. You know, there was some beer drinking, there was some fights and there was some gambling on using my basketball talents. We'd go to the park and play horse, and you know, I'd clean up, you know, we played 21 and so forth. I remember her telling me, she sat down and explained to me that, you know, "God gives you this talent and you're abusing it by gambling with it, by, you know, all the people you run out," and it really changed me over, and plus the threat of, "You know, I can't usually around here, if you're gonna be that type of a person," you know, and my attachment to the Cabbage Patch was so strong that it would-- it would change my behavior. And then there again, with the school thing about not knowing whether I wanted to work at the Cabbage Patch or go away to art school. She were very, very strong in the sense that she didn't say no, because if she had said no, I think I would have done it anyway just to say-- to express my own independence. It was her, "Well, you go ahead and try it then," you know-- you know, "I agree with you," You know, "rest your life you'll be wondering if you could-- if you can be a commercial artist," you know, "I'll get-- I'll call up some of my friends," and she starts calling-- she knew a Mister Gilmore at General Electric, "Oh, I have a boy here that's really talented, and he wants to see if he can get in the commercial field, will you take him under his wing?" You know and then-- "Wait Miss Marshall, slow down," you know, she was ready for me to leave, you know, and that was her-- that was her-- her way of dealing with it. You know, "If you want to go out and try it, you got my blessing. Here. I'll even buy you a bus ticket." You know, that type of thing. And she almost forced me not to back out on the expression of, "Hey, I want to try some art." And that sort of made me go to New York. And then, there again, after that first transition of getting my undergrad-- graduate degree, she finally said, "Hey, we need a better staff. When I leave here," meaning when she-- when she died, "I want to have a professional staff, a social worker here, I want to have this here, I want to have this here." And she said "I want you back at Kent School, picking up that degree." I think I went back there in 69 and picked up the master’s degree. So almost every phase of my life, and my family, you know, has been touched by Miss Marshall. Keith Cardwell [00:52:39] Did she help you out financially to pay for the college and-- Roosevelt Chin [00:52:44] No, she didn't, not at all, other than of course encouragement and providing opportunities. When I was at, University of Louisville, some of my hours didn't fit what was going on here. So she would almost create some janitorial work for me or some filing that I could do at an odd hour so that I can get enough hours in to make enough money to go to school. No, but I paid for it all myself. But the opportunities were only there because she worked it around. You know, if it was just a question of "Can I work here?" At what was required, I wouldn't have been able to accept the job, so she was able to give the late hours and hook me up. But as far as financial, no. Keith Cardwell [00:53:29] Okay-- Roosevelt Chin [00:53:35] Although I strongly feel that she would have if I had asked, but I was never in that position to have to have it. Keith Cardwell [00:53:44] What knowledge do you have of the daycare? It's beginnings. Roosevelt Chin [00:53:52] I only was involved because my family used it. I had an aunt who worked here for about ten years in the office, and she lived on the third floor of our house on First Street. And her three children, all came to the daycare. And, so I was involved in that respect, that on certain days I was the one to pick them up and take them back home to First Street, and then later on, my sister had her children, her child I mean, and of course, Nancy Lawson, who ran it for all these years, was on our staff and she and I got along very well together, probably because she knew my nephew [unclear]. And, so I was always up there more so probably than Cooksey or Dietsch. I think the only other reason any of the staff would go up there would be to get some food from the daycare kitchen. But as far as the dealings with the children, there wasn't a whole lot of anything going on except with me and my-- and my little bit. Keith Cardwell [00:54:58] When you first became involved with the Cabbage Patch, the daycare was already here? Roosevelt Chin [00:55:02] Yeah, but the only other thing that I did that the other staff didn't do, there were some-- I don't-- heaven knows if it's still there or not, but there were a lot of Mother Goose drawings on the-- on the walls up there, and being the artist, I was always asked to retouch them and freshen up the paint. I did that maybe two or three times, so I was involved in daycare in that-- in that respect. But, historically, I have no idea how it began or how they funded it or who paid what or [unclear]. Which brings to mind, that Miss Lawson maybe had given the interview. She'd been here for thirty-some-odd years. In fact, her granddaughter just sent me a invitation to her wedding. And her granddaughter never-- I've never met the girl, but there was a family problem and the Cabbage Patch was very, very instrumental in helping Miss Lawson solve that problem. So I think she feels very, very close to us. Keith Cardwell [00:56:08] What about the clinic? The well-baby clinic. Roosevelt Chin [00:56:13] That preceded me. Cooksey used to go that that well baby clinic, that's what he told me. He was the only one that came here as a, well, preschooler type. Dietsch didn't emerge here and I didn't emerge until high school days. It was Cooksey who was here all before. Now that's just the term I hear Miss Marshall and Cooksey talk about all, such a-- it's such a funny term, because it seems backwards to me. You thinking the baby-- it wouldn't be well baby, if baby isn't well. You know, it's sort of like a turned around phrase. But I heard that term all the years. The well-baby clinic. [unclear]. People don't use that term anymore. Keith Cardwell [00:56:55] Are there any other areas that you have knowledge of that we might could cover briefly. We skipped basically the 70s as far as activities go. Roosevelt Chin [00:57:10] You know, the 70s was-- see, by that-- by the 70s, I was here quite a long time now. It was then starting to become the in a rut type of thing. We were doing the same old activity, it was-- you know, I-- when I finally stopped doing day camp as such, you know, it was 26 years in a row of the same game site, you know, you just got to the point where, you almost did it in your sleep, you know, you didn't really have to come up with anything. We finally left that camp and Napier came on and we've done other things now, but we'd camp at Versailles, you know, 22 years in a row, you know and I didn't miss it once, you know. And, so in the 70s, it was almost-- when I look back at some of those years, it was almost meshed into one day, you know, you just can't-- the trips become regular. The out-of-town trips every year, we'd pick some place to go that was, you know, kind of big, Saint Louis or Chicago or somewhere. And after a while you can't remember which year went-- where you went to which one. But it wasn't the new approach type of activity, but it was fresh in your mind because it was something you pioneered or something that really caught on. This was that, that has all happened and we just kept continuing it. So that-- there's nothing in the 70s that really stands out except Napier coming on as a part time from the University of Louisville and introducing us to backpacking and to a different type of concept of camping. Keith Cardwell [00:58:41] Okay. Who was-- who was Napier? Roosevelt Chin [00:58:43] Rod Napier was a Cabbage Patcher who grew up around here and participated in some of my activities. And then after Miss Marshall, well, he-- he reintroduced himself because he had a class at the University of Louisville, and he thought it would be a good way for them to get hands on experience by requiring them to do volunteer work at different agencies, and of course the Cabbage Patch was brought up. So we saw Napier for three or four summers where he would come and just help us with camp or during the fall, bring students over here to help us run some activities. So then when the transition period came about, after Miss Marshall left, he was a-- they had-- some of the board members asked me, you know, "Well if Dietsch moves up into the front office or if Dietsch moves out of the front office, who would you suggest taking Dietsch's place?" You know, and the natural progression would've been Cooksey but Cooksey was gone too. So I remember suggesting Napier. So when Napier came in, I guess the early 80s, Dietsch was executive director. Napier moved into head of activities. And Napier had already grown up here, already known Miss Marshall, knew our philosophy. Then there was a time when he was going— [END OF RECORDING] Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Chin describes his early jobs at the Cabbage Patch and at Miss Marshall’s home, as well as his early impressions of Miss Marshall. Chin describes the conflicts between himself and other staff members, namely Charles Dietsch (1932-2020) and Jim Cooksey (d. 2015), after Miss Marshall became inactive in the early eighties. Chin discusses the establishment of a new board and the hiring of executive director Tracy Holladay at that time. Chin describes how the Cabbage Patch got its name in the early 1910s, as well as the settlement house’s connection to famous author Alan Hegan Rice (1870-1942). Chin describes the impact that the Cabbage Patch and Miss Marshall had upon himself and his entire family. Chin briefly describes the daycare and the well-baby clinic.
