THEY REMEMBER WAR

Robert B. Gentry, Interviewer/ Compiler

All the interviewees of "They Remember War" live at Oak Hammock at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Oak Hammock is the first continuing care retirement community with a genuine relationship with a university, including signed agreements about their mutual relationships. It is home to about 400 retirees with interesting backgrounds and notable achievements. I, Robert B. Gentry, interviewed the following residents. Not every story is strictly oral history as some narrators supplemented their verbal accounts with written information. I hope to post more stories in the near future, including those by people who reside outside Oak Hammock.

Since I first recorded them, pictures and information have been added to the narratives of Hal Bingham, Joseph Bradham, Bob Petzold, and Frank Pierce.

Wording in bold in these pieces is mine. Oral histories published by Writecorner Press remain the property of the narrators and may not be used in any way without permission of the narrators.
