He was a war hero, a scientist, and a sentimental man who recited\nYeats. He possessed a clear code of honor, a marvelous sense of humour, and an\nenterprising and creative spirit. As a young boy during the Depression in DePuniak\nSprings, Florida, he transformed his paper route with a fleet of old bicycles that he\nrepaired and then provided as an incentive to other boys, who ran additional routes\nunder his direction. \nWhen the United States entered World War II, he felt he would be better off in the air\ninstead of on the ground, and so he tried to enlist. When the Army Air Corps refused\nhim for being underweight, he resolved the problem at a second interview by\nslumping down, and as a \"shorter\" man,\" fulfilled the USAAC's height and weight\nrequirements. Although he had not attended college, he passed the college\ngraduation exam (and won his bus fare back home in a dice game.) \nHe went through flight training at Americus, Georgia, and graduated with the Aviation\nCadet Class of 41-1. During one check ride, he was told to \"spin it\" even with the\nground rapidly approaching, he thought it proper for the check pilot to direct him to\nrecover. He suspected it might be a test to see if he would \"chicken out.\" At a very\nlow altitude the check pilot disproved this theory by grabbing the controls to recover, shouting \"Are you trying to kill us?\"  \nHe was assigned to the Curtiss P-36 \"Hawk,\" which he later referred to as the best he had ever flown. He also flew the Curtiss P-40, and eventually the new Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. After a tour in the Canal Zone and Ecuador, he was sent to Europe\nin 1943, in charge of the newly formed 351st Fighter Squadron under the group's command of Lt Colonel Glenn E. Duncan. When it came time to name his aircraft, a P-47 Thunderbolt, he chose \"Little Demon,\" a character from Al Capp's \"Lil\" Abner\" comic strip. \nHis squadron was part of the 353rd Fighter Group, and their responsibilities included escort and fighter sweep duties, ground support and dive-bombing. The only dive-bombing training the pilots had undergone had been stateside with the P-40, a completely different task. Having flown both airplanes, my father understood the problem and approached Colonel Duncan with some new theories. The two gentlemen devised a set of techniques that were used until the end of the war. They entered combat on August 12,1943. \nOn September 23,1943, Walter Beckham brought down his first enemy aircraft, a\nFocke-Wulf 190 near Nantes, France. Many of his subsequent victories were scored\nin doubles and in one case a triple. On October 10, 1943, on an escort mission to\nMunster, he destroyed three twin-engine German aircraft. The third hit depleted his\nammunition, and when another ME-110 came towards him \"...I turned sharply toward\nhim and he broke violently, evading my P-47 with empty guns.\" A growing number of\nswastikas joined the bright yellow \"Little Demon\" artwork under the canopy.\n \nHe was shot down on February 22,1944 while attacking parked FW 190s on a base\nat Ostheim, Germany. This was during \"Big Week,\" the all out attack against the\nGerman aircraft industry. At the time he was America's leading ace in the European\nTheatre with eighteen German air victories in six months of combat. He had flown 56\nmissions, although, with a mathematician's precision, he counted 5614. His lifetime\nfriend Claude Jenkins remembers seeing the news of his last mission in Time\nMagazine, with his quote to a wingmate: \"Take the boys home, George, I've been\nhit!\" \"... I was hit by something when I was still at 4-5,000 feet altitude - long before I began firing... Smoke is belching from my engine. But It still runs, I cut off the fuel - coasting - no help. Woods are northward, England is westward. I am in no trouble if my engine keeps running, and I ask my friends to proceed on home. I unfasten the seat and shoulder belts and run the canopy back. I'm hoping for the smoke to go\naway, while ready to bail out fast Where there's smoke there's fire? Whoever said\nthat is damned right...I'm down well under a thousand feet. There's no question\nabout what to do. Let's do it. I stand up in the seat and try to dive out of the left side of the cockpit I'm stuck! What the hell is holding me? Time to do a little thinking...I sit back down. I jam the stick forward with my right foot. Departing the cockpit as she plunges down I feel a bump, but it doesn't hurt. I make a Joke that I have \"ejected\" myself-this before ejection seats were invented!\"\n He spent the next 14 months in Stalag Luft III at Sagan, and at Moorsburg, where access to an elementary college physics book sparked his interest. On 29 April 1945 Patton's 14th Armored Division liberated him. After the war, he stayed in the newly formed US Air Force as a squadron commander of the first jet-equipped fighter group. He received a BS degree in physics from the University of Florida in 1949, and a MS in physics from Ohio State University in 1950. He attended graduate school at the University of Califomla, Berkeley, where he studied under Edward Teller and received his PhD in physics in 1962. \nWalter Beckham was the founding chief scientist of the Air Force Weapons\nLaboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and continued\nas chief scientist for six years. During this time, he nurtured a tradition of scientific excellence and mentored many young officer-scientists trying to resolve the scientific, political, and moral concerns inherent to nuclear weapons. His principal research interests centered on nuclear weapons and their effects, and later on survivability and vulnerability issues for nuclear weapons. \nHe retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1969, and continued as a consultant at\nLawrence Livermore Laboratory, working on various defense-related strategic\nstudies. For his many services, he received the Distinguished Service Cross, the\nSilver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, and the Legion of Merit. \nAfter retirement he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife Lorraine and two\nvery spoiled Shetland Sheepdogs. Throughout this time, he often received letters\nfrom Thunderbolt enthusiasts and World War II history buffs, which he always\nanswered. His airplane was painted by the aviation artist Robert St. Vincent \"High\nSpeed, Low Pass,\" and reproductions were printed (the original is on display at\nEdwards AFB.) When Ray Stutsman approached him about painting his own Thunderbolt as \"Little Demon\" he declined and suggested another pilot's aircraft. Mr. Stutsman persisted and my father then suggested a second comrade's plane. Mr. Stutsman remained firm, and my father conceded. In 1985, 44 years after his bail out over enemy territory, he took a ride in the jump seat of the aircraft. The first issue of Thunderbolt Enthusiasts International was dedicated to him. He never bragged about his achievements and often seemed bemused at the attention he received. \"Only do things now that you will be proud of later\" was the one piece of advice he gave his admirers.\nWalter Carl Beckham died of a heart attack on 31 May 1996 in Albuquerque, New\nMexico, and is survived by his wife Lorraine and daughter Melissa. \nVerbatim transcript source:\n \nBeckham, Melissa.

He was a war hero, a scientist, and a sentimental man who recited\nYeats. He possessed a clear code of honor, a marvelous sense of humour, and an\nenterprising and creative spirit. As a young boy during the Depression in DePuniak\nSprings, Florida, he transformed his paper route with a fleet of old bicycles that he\nrepaired and then provided as an incentive to other boys, who ran additional routes\nunder his direction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen the United States entered World War II, he felt he would be better off in the air\ninstead of on the ground, and so he tried to enlist. When the Army Air Corps refused\nhim for being underweight, he resolved the problem at a second interview by\nslumping down, and as a \"shorter\" man,\" fulfilled the USAAC's height and weight\nrequirements. Although he had not attended college, he passed the college\ngraduation exam (and won his bus fare back home in a dice game.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHe went through flight training at Americus, Georgia, and graduated with the Aviation\nCadet Class of 41-1. During one check ride, he was told to \"spin it\" even with the\nground rapidly approaching, he thought it proper for the check pilot to direct him to\nrecover. He suspected it might be a test to see if he would \"chicken out.\" At a very\nlow altitude the check pilot disproved this theory by grabbing the controls to recover, shouting \"Are you trying to kill us?\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHe was assigned to the Curtiss P-36 \"Hawk,\" which he later referred to as the best he had ever flown. He also flew the Curtiss P-40, and eventually the new Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. After a tour in the Canal Zone and Ecuador, he was sent to Europe\nin 1943, in charge of the newly formed 351st Fighter Squadron under the group's command of Lt Colonel Glenn E. Duncan. When it came time to name his aircraft, a P-47 Thunderbolt, he chose \"Little Demon,\" a character from Al Capp's \"Lil\" Abner\" comic strip.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHis squadron was part of the 353rd Fighter Group, and their responsibilities included escort and fighter sweep duties, ground support and dive-bombing. The only dive-bombing training the pilots had undergone had been stateside with the P-40, a completely different task. Having flown both airplanes, my father understood the problem and approached Colonel Duncan with some new theories. The two gentlemen devised a set of techniques that were used until the end of the war. They entered combat on August 12,1943.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn September 23,1943, Walter Beckham brought down his first enemy aircraft, a\nFocke-Wulf 190 near Nantes, France. Many of his subsequent victories were scored\nin doubles and in one case a triple. On October 10, 1943, on an escort mission to\nMunster, he destroyed three twin-engine German aircraft. The third hit depleted his\nammunition, and when another ME-110 came towards him \"...I turned sharply toward\nhim and he broke violently, evading my P-47 with empty guns.\" A growing number of\nswastikas joined the bright yellow \"Little Demon\" artwork under the canopy.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHe was shot down on February 22,1944 while attacking parked FW 190s on a base\nat Ostheim, Germany. This was during \"Big Week,\" the all out attack against the\nGerman aircraft industry. At the time he was America's leading ace in the European\nTheatre with eighteen German air victories in six months of combat. He had flown 56\nmissions, although, with a mathematician's precision, he counted 5614. His lifetime\nfriend Claude Jenkins remembers seeing the news of his last mission in Time\nMagazine, with his quote to a wingmate: \"Take the boys home, George, I've been\nhit!\" \"... I was hit by something when I was still at 4-5,000 feet altitude - long before I began firing... Smoke is belching from my engine. But It still runs, I cut off the fuel - coasting - no help. Woods are northward, England is westward. I am in no trouble if my engine keeps running, and I ask my friends to proceed on home. I unfasten the seat and shoulder belts and run the canopy back. I'm hoping for the smoke to go\naway, while ready to bail out fast Where there's smoke there's fire? Whoever said\nthat is damned right...I'm down well under a thousand feet. There's no question\nabout what to do. Let's do it. I stand up in the seat and try to dive out of the left side of the cockpit I'm stuck! What the hell is holding me? Time to do a little thinking...I sit back down. I jam the stick forward with my right foot. Departing the cockpit as she plunges down I feel a bump, but it doesn't hurt. I make a Joke that I have \"ejected\" myself-this before ejection seats were invented!\"\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe spent the next 14 months in Stalag Luft III at Sagan, and at Moorsburg, where access to an elementary college physics book sparked his interest. On 29 April 1945 Patton's 14th Armored Division liberated him. After the war, he stayed in the newly formed US Air Force as a squadron commander of the first jet-equipped fighter group. He received a BS degree in physics from the University of Florida in 1949, and a MS in physics from Ohio State University in 1950. He attended graduate school at the University of Califomla, Berkeley, where he studied under Edward Teller and received his PhD in physics in 1962.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWalter Beckham was the founding chief scientist of the Air Force Weapons\nLaboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and continued\nas chief scientist for six years. During this time, he nurtured a tradition of scientific excellence and mentored many young officer-scientists trying to resolve the scientific, political, and moral concerns inherent to nuclear weapons. His principal research interests centered on nuclear weapons and their effects, and later on survivability and vulnerability issues for nuclear weapons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHe retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1969, and continued as a consultant at\nLawrence Livermore Laboratory, working on various defense-related strategic\nstudies. For his many services, he received the Distinguished Service Cross, the\nSilver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, and the Legion of Merit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter retirement he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife Lorraine and two\nvery spoiled Shetland Sheepdogs. Throughout this time, he often received letters\nfrom Thunderbolt enthusiasts and World War II history buffs, which he always\nanswered. His airplane was painted by the aviation artist Robert St. Vincent \"High\nSpeed, Low Pass,\" and reproductions were printed (the original is on display at\nEdwards AFB.) When Ray Stutsman approached him about painting his own Thunderbolt as \"Little Demon\" he declined and suggested another pilot's aircraft. Mr. Stutsman persisted and my father then suggested a second comrade's plane. Mr. Stutsman remained firm, and my father conceded. In 1985, 44 years after his bail out over enemy territory, he took a ride in the jump seat of the aircraft. The first issue of Thunderbolt Enthusiasts International was dedicated to him. He never bragged about his achievements and often seemed bemused at the attention he received. \"Only do things now that you will be proud of later\" was the one piece of advice he gave his admirers.\nWalter Carl Beckham died of a heart attack on 31 May 1996 in Albuquerque, New\nMexico, and is survived by his wife Lorraine and daughter Melissa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nVerbatim transcript source:\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBeckham, Melissa. \u003ci\u003eWalter Carl Beckham Biography, 1996.\u003c/i\u003eManuscript.

His parents were James Edward Delamare and Lucy Sophia Browning Delamare, of French and Scottish descent, respectively. He attended St. Paul's Cathedral Choir School in London. Upon graduation, he entered the workforce as an employee of Anglo-American (Standard) Oil. It was during his tenure there as a bookkeeper that he began to focus seriously on writing poetry and stories. He had, however, been writing since his high school days when he founded and edited the school magazine, \"The Choristers' Journal\". At the age of 22 he became a published author when the journal \"Sketch\" accepted his story \"Kismet\". His early poems and stories were seen also in \"The Cornhill\", \"The Pall Magazine\", \"The Pall Mall Gazette\", and \"Black and White\". He married Constance Elfrida Igpen at the age of 26. He enjoyed a long and happy life with her and their four children and eleven grandchildren. His first book of poetry, \"Songs of Childhood\" was published in 1902 under de la Mare's pseudonym, Walter Ramal. He soon began publishing under his given name with his next book and first novel, \"Henry Brocken\". By his mid 30's an annual pension awarded by the Asquith government allowed him to retire from his job at Standard Oil to devote himself entirely to writing. His life was fairly ordinary and to many, it would appear, lacking in adventure. However, so active was de la Mare's imagination that he undoubtedly had a great many adventures in that realm, which was to him just as real as anything else. He died at his home in Twickenham, Middlesex, England, on June 22, 1956.\nReputedly a very kind and gentle man, de la Mare was especially fond of children and animals. His vivid and active imagination allowed him to identify with children, and they reciprocated de la Mare's affection in their love of his work. Many of his admirers wrote letters to him telling him how much they enjoyed his poetry. He rather enjoyed replying to letters he received, whether they came from a child who liked \"Peacock Pie\" or one who objected to the rhyming scheme of one of his poems. De la Mare wrote on the subject of a child's imagination in his introduction to Poems for Children, \"whatever precisely a child may be, it is very unusual indeed for those who have become men to be able to remember precisely what it was to be one; to become, that is, in imagination, the children they actually once were.\"\nAlthough highly respected by fellow authors, Walter de la Mare's works have been generally misunderstood and underappreciated by both critics and the average reader. While his earlier children's poetry is fairly simple, it hints of more complex, highly imaginative offerings to come later in his career. De la Mare was praised by critics for his variety of meters and his youthful imagination. It was for this avid creativity that others labeled him an escapist and a dreamer. He was known for his tendency towards morbidity and his peculiar characters. This is reflected in his later works, which were dominated by fairly dark themes, including grief, aging, mortality, despair, and the transience of beauty. It has been noted that for de la Mare, the difference between reality and dreams is so nearly indiscernible that it might as well not exist. People who only know of his children's poetry have missed the real de la Mare, who was a highly intelligent man with a melancholy soul.\nBest known as a lyric poet and children's author, childhood remained one of his major themes throughout his life. However, de la Mare was highly prolific, and comfortable in many genres. An accomplished author, de la Mare wrote poetry, novels, short stories, critiques, essays, anthologies, and plays. He received many awards for his writing, including the Polignac prize, Royal Society of Literature, 1911; the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction, 1922, for Memoirs of a Midget; the Carnegie Medal, American Library Association, 1947, for Collected Stories for Children; the Companion of Honour, 1948; the Order of Merit, 1953; the Foyle Poetry prize, 1954; and honorary degrees from several universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, St. Andrews, Bristol, and London.","The letters in this collection were originally owned by the recipient, Lucy \"Clare\" Kipps.","Portions of collection available online?: No","This collection was processed in May of 2007 by Ginger H.

His parents were James Edward Delamare and Lucy Sophia Browning Delamare, of French and Scottish descent, respectively. He attended St. Paul's Cathedral Choir School in London. Upon graduation, he entered the workforce as an employee of Anglo-American (Standard) Oil. It was during his tenure there as a bookkeeper that he began to focus seriously on writing poetry and stories. He had, however, been writing since his high school days when he founded and edited the school magazine, \"The Choristers' Journal\". At the age of 22 he became a published author when the journal \"Sketch\" accepted his story \"Kismet\". His early poems and stories were seen also in \"The Cornhill\", \"The Pall Magazine\", \"The Pall Mall Gazette\", and \"Black and White\". He married Constance Elfrida Igpen at the age of 26. He enjoyed a long and happy life with her and their four children and eleven grandchildren. His first book of poetry, \"Songs of Childhood\" was published in 1902 under de la Mare's pseudonym, Walter Ramal. He soon began publishing under his given name with his next book and first novel, \"Henry Brocken\". By his mid 30's an annual pension awarded by the Asquith government allowed him to retire from his job at Standard Oil to devote himself entirely to writing. His life was fairly ordinary and to many, it would appear, lacking in adventure. However, so active was de la Mare's imagination that he undoubtedly had a great many adventures in that realm, which was to him just as real as anything else. He died at his home in Twickenham, Middlesex, England, on June 22, 1956.\nReputedly a very kind and gentle man, de la Mare was especially fond of children and animals. His vivid and active imagination allowed him to identify with children, and they reciprocated de la Mare's affection in their love of his work. Many of his admirers wrote letters to him telling him how much they enjoyed his poetry. He rather enjoyed replying to letters he received, whether they came from a child who liked \"Peacock Pie\" or one who objected to the rhyming scheme of one of his poems. De la Mare wrote on the subject of a child's imagination in his introduction to Poems for Children, \"whatever precisely a child may be, it is very unusual indeed for those who have become men to be able to remember precisely what it was to be one; to become, that is, in imagination, the children they actually once were.\"\nAlthough highly respected by fellow authors, Walter de la Mare's works have been generally misunderstood and underappreciated by both critics and the average reader. While his earlier children's poetry is fairly simple, it hints of more complex, highly imaginative offerings to come later in his career. De la Mare was praised by critics for his variety of meters and his youthful imagination. It was for this avid creativity that others labeled him an escapist and a dreamer. He was known for his tendency towards morbidity and his peculiar characters. This is reflected in his later works, which were dominated by fairly dark themes, including grief, aging, mortality, despair, and the transience of beauty. It has been noted that for de la Mare, the difference between reality and dreams is so nearly indiscernible that it might as well not exist. People who only know of his children's poetry have missed the real de la Mare, who was a highly intelligent man with a melancholy soul.\nBest known as a lyric poet and children's author, childhood remained one of his major themes throughout his life. However, de la Mare was highly prolific, and comfortable in many genres. An accomplished author, de la Mare wrote poetry, novels, short stories, critiques, essays, anthologies, and plays. He received many awards for his writing, including the Polignac prize, Royal Society of Literature, 1911; the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction, 1922, for Memoirs of a Midget; the Carnegie Medal, American Library Association, 1947, for Collected Stories for Children; the Companion of Honour, 1948; the Order of Merit, 1953; the Foyle Poetry prize, 1954; and honorary degrees from several universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, St. Andrews, Bristol, and London.\u003c/p\u003e"],"collection":{"numFound":1,"start":0,"numFoundExact":true,"docs":[{"id":"f1ced54bda9165e3d37a6d76","title_ssm":["Walter de la Mare Correspondence"],"title_tesim":["Walter de la Mare Correspondence"],"ead_ssi":"f1ced54bda9165e3d37a6d76","unitdate_ssm":["1940-1956"],"unitdate_inclusive_ssm":["1940-1956"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["MSS 2007-005","/repositories/10/resources/1060"],"text":["MSS 2007-005","/repositories/10/resources/1060","Walter de la Mare Correspondence, 1940-1956","Canada","Canary Islands","Burns and Oates.","Longman (Firm)","Clippings (Books, newspapers, etc.)","Correspondence","Collection is open to all researchers.","Letters arranged chronologically, along with some original envelopes.

His parents were James Edward Delamare and Lucy Sophia Browning Delamare, of French and Scottish descent, respectively. He attended St. Paul's Cathedral Choir School in London. Upon graduation, he entered the workforce as an employee of Anglo-American (Standard) Oil. It was during his tenure there as a bookkeeper that he began to focus seriously on writing poetry and stories. He had, however, been writing since his high school days when he founded and edited the school magazine, \"The Choristers' Journal\". At the age of 22 he became a published author when the journal \"Sketch\" accepted his story \"Kismet\". His early poems and stories were seen also in \"The Cornhill\", \"The Pall Magazine\", \"The Pall Mall Gazette\", and \"Black and White\". He married Constance Elfrida Igpen at the age of 26. He enjoyed a long and happy life with her and their four children and eleven grandchildren. His first book of poetry, \"Songs of Childhood\" was published in 1902 under de la Mare's pseudonym, Walter Ramal. He soon began publishing under his given name with his next book and first novel, \"Henry Brocken\". By his mid 30's an annual pension awarded by the Asquith government allowed him to retire from his job at Standard Oil to devote himself entirely to writing. His life was fairly ordinary and to many, it would appear, lacking in adventure. However, so active was de la Mare's imagination that he undoubtedly had a great many adventures in that realm, which was to him just as real as anything else. He died at his home in Twickenham, Middlesex, England, on June 22, 1956.\nReputedly a very kind and gentle man, de la Mare was especially fond of children and animals. His vivid and active imagination allowed him to identify with children, and they reciprocated de la Mare's affection in their love of his work. Many of his admirers wrote letters to him telling him how much they enjoyed his poetry. He rather enjoyed replying to letters he received, whether they came from a child who liked \"Peacock Pie\" or one who objected to the rhyming scheme of one of his poems. De la Mare wrote on the subject of a child's imagination in his introduction to Poems for Children, \"whatever precisely a child may be, it is very unusual indeed for those who have become men to be able to remember precisely what it was to be one; to become, that is, in imagination, the children they actually once were.\"\nAlthough highly respected by fellow authors, Walter de la Mare's works have been generally misunderstood and underappreciated by both critics and the average reader. While his earlier children's poetry is fairly simple, it hints of more complex, highly imaginative offerings to come later in his career. De la Mare was praised by critics for his variety of meters and his youthful imagination. It was for this avid creativity that others labeled him an escapist and a dreamer. He was known for his tendency towards morbidity and his peculiar characters. This is reflected in his later works, which were dominated by fairly dark themes, including grief, aging, mortality, despair, and the transience of beauty. It has been noted that for de la Mare, the difference between reality and dreams is so nearly indiscernible that it might as well not exist. People who only know of his children's poetry have missed the real de la Mare, who was a highly intelligent man with a melancholy soul.\nBest known as a lyric poet and children's author, childhood remained one of his major themes throughout his life. However, de la Mare was highly prolific, and comfortable in many genres. An accomplished author, de la Mare wrote poetry, novels, short stories, critiques, essays, anthologies, and plays. He received many awards for his writing, including the Polignac prize, Royal Society of Literature, 1911; the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction, 1922, for Memoirs of a Midget; the Carnegie Medal, American Library Association, 1947, for Collected Stories for Children; the Companion of Honour, 1948; the Order of Merit, 1953; the Foyle Poetry prize, 1954; and honorary degrees from several universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, St. Andrews, Bristol, and London.\u003c/p\u003e"]}]}}],"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/f1ced54bda9165e3d37a6d76"}},{"id":"0721170a69cf1bc738563361_aspace_e6f30d86a356b3be1fadb2ae7e41be14","type":"File","attributes":{"title":"Walter Edwin Wood Papers, 1945","abstract_or_scope":{"id":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/0721170a69cf1bc738563361_aspace_e6f30d86a356b3be1fadb2ae7e41be14#abstract_or_scope","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":["\u003cp\u003eThis Folder contains copies of the honorable discharge for Walter Edwin Wood, copies of the honorable discharge certificate for Walter Edwin Wood, 2 photographs, most likely of Water Edwin Wood.\u003c/p\u003e"],"label":"Abstract Or Scope"}},"breadcrumbs":{"id":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/0721170a69cf1bc738563361_aspace_e6f30d86a356b3be1fadb2ae7e41be14#breadcrumbs","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":[{"ref_ssi":"aspace_e6f30d86a356b3be1fadb2ae7e41be14","ref_ssm":["aspace_e6f30d86a356b3be1fadb2ae7e41be14","aspace_e6f30d86a356b3be1fadb2ae7e41be14"],"id":"0721170a69cf1bc738563361_aspace_e6f30d86a356b3be1fadb2ae7e41be14","title_filing_ssi":"Walter Edwin Wood Papers","title_ssm":["Walter Edwin Wood Papers"],"title_tesim":["Walter Edwin Wood Papers"],"unitdate_other_ssim":["1945"],"normalized_date_ssm":["1945"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Walter Edwin Wood Papers, 1945"],"text":["Walter Edwin Wood Papers, 1945","John D.

The first three series feature personal and office files which show the birth and growth of the organization, sorted at the state and local division levels. The last two series holds audio visual and photographic ephemera as well as scrapbooks created by workers at the society.","To be an orphan in Florida at the turn of the twentieth century was a dangerous prospect. Children were being orphaned due to farm and industrial accidents and numerous poor families had to give up children they could no longer afford. Many children were abused and there were few laws that protected children's rights. Homeless children had little place to go where they could be safe, properly cared for, and loved.","\nIn response to this increasing crisis, the National Children's Home Society was formed in Illinois in 1883 to help place children who had been orphaned in farming and industrial accidents, spreading to several other states over the next decade. The Revered D. W. Comstock came to Jacksonville, Florida in 1902 as a representative of the National Children's Home Society to help organize the state's first child welfare society. On November 17, 1902, with the help of Rev. D. W. Comstock and Jacksonville's city and religious leaders, The Children's Home Society of Florida (CHSFL) was established. The welfare of the child was the society's primary focus, making sure that if the family could not be preserved that the child was placed in a happy and healthy home.","\nThe CHSFL was developed as a non-profit organization, relying solely on donations from the community. Fund-raising efforts began as administrative duties were carried out in private homes around the city. The children were also were being cared for in private residences as there was not yet a home secured for the society to board its charges. The CHSFL committed itself to not only children but to babies who were not accepted until the age of three at state orphanages (Mahoney, 5). Money was tight for the society and within the first few years, the CHSFL found itself in deep debt. By September of 1910, the CHSFL was facing the possibility of ending operations when a new state superintendent for the society entered its doors. Marcus C. Fagg was just 24 when he took control of the CHSFL but within a few short months, he had already obtained funding to start his first appeals drive. Many in the society to this day believe that it was Marcus C. Fagg who saved the CHSFL from closing its doors and built it to the standards that society members and workers adhere to today. Fagg's compassion towards children also did not go unnoticed; from his early years with the CHSFL, many children he helped referred to him as \"Daddy\" Fagg as a token of their appreciation for finding them loving homes.","\nMarcus Fagg brought innovative solutions to a dire financial situation. Using land donated or sold at cost to the society, Fagg either rented or sold land at higher costs to turn a profit. Fagg also helped poor families by renting them homes at drastically reduced rental costs with an option to later buy the homes. Marcus Fagg helped dozens of poor families regain their footing while also helping the CHSFL emerge from a deep hole of financial debt.","\nThough Marcus Fagg began to save the society financially, the society still fell on hard times. The country became entangled in the agony of the Great Depression in the 1930s and the CHSFL suffered with the rest of the nation. The Miami receiving home was lost due to a lack of finances but was thankfully picked up and operated by the Junior League until 1936 when CHSFL was able to once again run the home. Marcus Fagg also made history in 1932 by becoming the first chairman of the new Florida State Welfare Board. Through the 1940s and 1950s, CHSFL was instrumental in securing rights and welfare laws for children nationwide. CHSFL was one of the founding members of the Child Welfare League of America and was one of the only societies in the country to handle state adoptions without the aid of a state agency. The society also saw rapid growth, thanks in part to the massive fund-raising performed by Marcus Fagg; several new division offices opened throughout the state, many of whom offered special services for children. CHSFL also began offering services to unwed mothers, further committing themselves to the family rather than just simply finding homes for children.","\nOne of the saddest moments for the CHSFL was the loss of their mentor and leader, Marcus C. \"Daddy\" Fagg in 1958. After Fagg's passing, newspapers throughout Florida ran headlines announcing the loss of a great state hero. Buried in a simple grave in Jacksonville, Florida, Fagg's life and legacy still serves as a reminder to the CHSFL of their continued effort to help abused and orphaned children in the state of Florida.","\nSegregation and integration played an important role for CHSFL in the 1960s as the society began caring for and adopting out African-American children from their receiving homes. Historically, the society took in mostly white children. As the Civil Rights movement grew in the 1960's, the society re-examined the scope of its adoption policies and began taking in and offering adoption services for the African-American community. This was a significant development both for the society and for the Civil Rights movement; African-American children were being given the same adoption services as white children at a time when the issue of race was dominant in society and politics. As the country rapidly changed, so did the society, offering for the first time services in schools for handicapped, delinquent, and abused children as well children living in racially mixed households. These services would grow and define the society through to the end of the 1990s.","\nJust three years into the new millennium and the society's second century of service, the CHSFL moved its headquarters from its birthplace in Jacksonville to more centrally located offices in Winter Park, Florida. Now over one hundred years old, the CHSFL offers fourteen divisions that serve the entire state of Florida.","Collection processed by Ari Karlene Anderson; finding aid prepared by April Karlene Anderson and Katie Seeler.

His real estate career began during childhood, when he purchased several lots from his father using money earned from various jobs outside of his eighth grade classroom.

He graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1915, becoming St. Petersburg High School's first paid football coach.

For two years, Fuller worked as an editor for the  St. Petersburg Times  and the  Manatee River Journal.  Between 1925 and 1926, he opened the Jungle Prada shopping center, the Jungle Country Club Hotel, and the Piper-Fuller Flying Field, the city of St. Petersburg's first airfield. With the end of the economic boom in 1926, Walter Fuller lost much of his fortune. He became a supporter of Franklin D.

Reuben Stacey was accused of attacking a white woman and was lynched while being transferred from the Broward County Courthouse to the Dade County jail. A grand jury investigated the lynching on July 23, 1935.

Clark other police officers subjected forty \"negro suspects\" of a murder to intense and random questioning. On May 20th, four of the suspects \"broke\" and confessed to the murder. Chambers, Davis, Williamson and Woodward were sentenced by an all-white jury to death by electric chair. S.D. McGill took up their defense case, and the legal battle to free them dragged on for years.  On February 12, 1940, Justice Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court overturned the four men's convictions. In 1942, after 9 years of imprisonment, the four men were declared not guilty and released. Chambers vs. Florida was a landmark case in the US Supreme Court that set the precedent that police pressure, mental torture, and threats of violence violates the Due Process Clause.","Walter Clark was also accused of compliance in multiple illegal gambling institutions. In 1950, Senator Estes Kefauver and his committee began an investigation of Sheriff Clark and his connection to illegal gambling in Broward County. Kefauver exposed Clark's involvement in the Broward Novelty Company which alledgedly owned slot machines and ran an illegal lottery.
