He declined to attend officer school, and instead was assigned to the intelligence service. Outside of the war, he worked for the Naturalization and Immigration Service (now the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service) and several family-owned and operated textile factories. Shirley Gould was born on August 3, 1917. She and Joe lived in Chicago, where she stayed during the war. She worked various secretary jobs before and during the War, one being connected with the Manhattan Project under Stagg Field at the University of Chicago. She was also a leading part of a group of women in Chicago called the Servicemen's Wives Club. After the war, she received her Master's degree in Social Work and became a private counselor. Joe and Shirley were married in 1940. Their name change occured between 1945-1948, a common practice by Jewish-Americans to separate themselves from racial prejudices.","This collection was donated by Ruth and Lawrence Kurlandsky.

Stokes, wrote and received numerous letters from local men and women who were serving in the armed forces during World War II.  The letters to Harry Keeler Stokes were of a personal, and business, nature.  Many of the servicemen and women sent money orders for deposit by Harry Keeler Stokes. He passed away in Lake County, FL on September 15, 1956.\n  Walter R. Stokes was born on May 23, 1898, in Mohawk, FL. Walter R. Stokes' father was Charles Stokes who came to Florida in 1888 and established the Jolly Palms Hunting Lodge in Mohawk, Florida. He also established a post office in his home. Harry K. Stokes, came to work for Charles in 1898, as a guide for the hunting lodge. Charles had three children, Ralph, Helen, and Walter. They learned to hunt and fish here at Mohawk. It was said that Walter could stand in a rocking boat on Lake Apopka and shoot birds. Charles, Walter's father, was also a photographer back in the days of glass negatives. When it came time to educate Charles' three children, there were no good schools in the area. So he took them back up to New York for their education. Grandfather of Rebecca Mendoza, Harry (who was much younger than Charles), stayed and had 3 children, John, Charles (Andy), and Richard (Dick), Rebecca's father. There were better schools by the time they were old enough to attend. Harry K. Stokes served as the president of the local bank (as the letters are addressed) and unopposed Lake County Commissioner for 5 terms until he died in 1959. Stokes spent his early childhood in central Florida, where his parents operated a hunting and fishing resort. Walter R. Stokes served in both WWI and II. Mendoza's father served in WWII. He graduated from Clermont High School in 1943 and had his father go with him to sign up as he was only 17 at the time and needed parental approval. He served in the U.S. Navy, in the Pacific theater. Dr. Charles (Andy) Stokes lost his eye in a childhood hunting accident and could not serve in WWII but he was a chemical engineer and made important contributions through his work. Walter R. Stokes graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1918 and then went on to earn both an LL.B. and an M.D. degree, one of only two American Olympians to do so. Stokes was part of the gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic rifle team in 1924. Along with the team success, Stokes also earned individual bronze. As a competitor himself, Stokes was on the rifle, swimming and wrestling teams at Annapolis. He competed internationally for the U.S. as a rifle shooter from 1919 until 1923, at which time he entered medical school. At the 1921 World Championships in Lyon, France he was a member of the free rifle team which won four titles prone, kneeling, standing, and 3-position. Both professional degrees came from George Washington University and, while he was in school, Stokes coached the school's rifle team to intercollegiate championships in 1924, 1927, and 1928. Walter passed away on June 9, 1996, in Stuart, FL.\n  One letter contained in this collection, dated July 7, 1944, was written to Mrs. Joyce L. \"Sweetie\" Stokes in Minneola, FL, the wife of John Stokes, by U.S. Navy Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Frank K.

Stokes, wrote and received numerous letters from local men and women who were serving in the armed forces during World War II.  The letters to Harry Keeler Stokes were of a personal, and business, nature.  Many of the servicemen and women sent money orders for deposit by Harry Keeler Stokes. He passed away in Lake County, FL on September 15, 1956.\n  Walter R. Stokes was born on May 23, 1898, in Mohawk, FL. Walter R. Stokes' father was Charles Stokes who came to Florida in 1888 and established the Jolly Palms Hunting Lodge in Mohawk, Florida. He also established a post office in his home. Harry K. Stokes, came to work for Charles in 1898, as a guide for the hunting lodge. Charles had three children, Ralph, Helen, and Walter. They learned to hunt and fish here at Mohawk. It was said that Walter could stand in a rocking boat on Lake Apopka and shoot birds. Charles, Walter's father, was also a photographer back in the days of glass negatives. When it came time to educate Charles' three children, there were no good schools in the area. So he took them back up to New York for their education. Grandfather of Rebecca Mendoza, Harry (who was much younger than Charles), stayed and had 3 children, John, Charles (Andy), and Richard (Dick), Rebecca's father. There were better schools by the time they were old enough to attend. Harry K. Stokes served as the president of the local bank (as the letters are addressed) and unopposed Lake County Commissioner for 5 terms until he died in 1959. Stokes spent his early childhood in central Florida, where his parents operated a hunting and fishing resort. Walter R. Stokes served in both WWI and II. Mendoza's father served in WWII. He graduated from Clermont High School in 1943 and had his father go with him to sign up as he was only 17 at the time and needed parental approval. He served in the U.S. Navy, in the Pacific theater. Dr. Charles (Andy) Stokes lost his eye in a childhood hunting accident and could not serve in WWII but he was a chemical engineer and made important contributions through his work. Walter R. Stokes graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1918 and then went on to earn both an LL.B. and an M.D. degree, one of only two American Olympians to do so. Stokes was part of the gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic rifle team in 1924. Along with the team success, Stokes also earned individual bronze.

Stokes, came to work for Charles in 1898, as a guide for the hunting lodge. Charles had three children, Ralph, Helen, and Walter. They learned to hunt and fish here at Mohawk. It was said that Walter could stand in a rocking boat on Lake Apopka and shoot birds. Charles, Walter's father, was also a photographer back in the days of glass negatives.
