McKay attended the Episcopal Brent School in Baguio as a boarding student, as did many American children in the Philippines and surrounding Pacific at that time. Leading up to the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, many of these boarding students went home or to the United States, but McKay remained in Baguio and was subsequently separated from his family for the duration of World War II. The Japanese began attacking the Philippines on the morning of December 8, 1941, and took Baguio on December 27. McKay, along with other Brent students and teachers, and hundreds of the Allied civilians of Baguio, gathered at Brent School to surrender to the Japanese on December 28. They were initially interned at the nearby Camp John Hay, but later moved to Camp Holmes where they spent most of their internment.\n While interned at Camp Holmes, McKay was \"adopted\" by John and Zella Barrett, and dated their daughter Irene. He completed his high school education in the camp-built school and received a graduation diploma. While not in school, he was part of the Wood Crew, which was one of the many camp chore crews that the internees developed. As a member of the Wood Crew, he was able to leave the camp on a daily basis to chop wood, and while out, he could trade extra clothing for store credit to purchase food from the local Filipinos. To entertain himself, he played Cribbage with other internees. Internees also played baseball, sometimes against the Japanese guards. McKay mentioned that one Japanese commandant, Rokuro Tomibe, was instrumental in getting the camp their only Red Cross care packages in time for Christmas 1943. After Christmas of 1944, the Japanese moved the internees from Baguio to Old Bilibid Prison in Manila. They were then liberated by American forces on February 4, 1945. During the aftermath of liberation, McKay and a friend of his hitched a ride around Manila on one of the American tanks to give them directions through the city. He was then selected in the first lottery to send civilians home to the United States.\n McKay reunited with his family in San Francisco in April 1945. He was able to transition into college despite having been interned for three years.

His father, Robert Olen Sr., is a retired actor and former chairman of the theater department at Saint Louis University. His mother, Lucille Hall Butler, is a retired executive secretary, and her stories about Granite City during the Depression were the inspiration for his fifth novel,  Wabash  (1987).\n \tPlanning to major in theatre, Butler enrolled at Northwestern University in 1963. During his freshman year, he starred in four of the school's six major productions, but in his sophomore year, he concentrated his studies in oral interpretation and playwriting. He graduated with a B.S. (Summa Cum Laude) in June 1967 and attended graduate school at the University of Iowa, where he received an M.F.A. in playwriting in 1969.\n \tSuspecting that after graduate school he would be drafted for military service in Vietnam, he visited the army recruiter in Granite City and enlisted for three years. He was trained as a linguist and assigned in January 1971 to a counterintelligence unit in Vietnam. Within six months he was chosen to be the administrative assistant and interpreter for the American Foreign Service officer advising the mayor of Saigon. His experience in Vietnam was a strong influence in his novels. Butler left Vietnam in December 1971, and later stated in an interview in  People  Magazine that he was \"filled with the same sense of nostalgia, loss, and even aspiration that the Vietnamese in my stories feel.\"\n \tIn the early 1970s, Butler moved to New York City and became a reporter, and later editor, of  Electronic News , owned by Fairchild Productions. In 1973, Butler and his wife returned to Granite City, where he worked as a high-school substitute teacher and freelance writer for a year. Following the birth of their son, he rejoined  Electronic News  in Chicago. At the same time, he was asked by Fairchild to return to New York to start his own newspaper. From 1975 to 1985 he was editor in chief of  Energy User News , a weekly investigative business newspaper.\n \tButler began preparing himself for a writing career in 1979 by attending four consecutive semesters of advanced creative-writing courses taught by Anatole Broyard, an African-American writer and literary critic of the  New York Times , at the New School for Social Research. What followed was a period of prolific literary accomplishment. Butler wrote several collections of stories,  Tabloid Dreams ,  A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain , which won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and  Had a Good Time , based on his collection of antique picture post cards (Grove Press, August 2004). He published numerous novels, including  They Whisper  (Holt, 1994),  Tabloid Dreams  (Holt, 1996), and  Mr. Spaceman  (Grove, 2000).","He has also written screenplays for Hollywood's major studios, and his stories have been included in four annual editions of  The Best American Short Stories , seven annual editions of  New Stories from the South , and in numerous college literature textbooks. They have also appeared widely in such publications as  The New Yorker ,  Esquire ,  Harper's ,  The Atlantic Monthly ,  GQ ,  The Paris Review ,  The Hudson Review ,  The Virginia Quarterly Review ,  Ploughshares , and  The Sewanee Review . In May 2000, Butler became Francis Eppes Professor in English at Florida State University, an honor which cemented his reputation as a writer dedicated to his craft. He was awarded the National Fiction Award for his short story \"Fair Warning,\" in May 2001, which was published in Francis Ford Coppola's  Zoetrope: All Story . He also won the 2005 National Magazine Award in Fiction for his short story \"The One in White,\" published by  The Atlantic Monthly .","Portions of collection available online?: No","Processed in May 2007 by Burt Altman.","These materials consist of first editions, first reissued editions, limited editions, a first trade edition, and uncorrected proof copies of Robert Olen Butler's novels and short stories, published from 1980-2004, and are signed or inscribed by Butler.

His father, Robert Olen Sr., is a retired actor and former chairman of the theater department at Saint Louis University. His mother, Lucille Hall Butler, is a retired executive secretary, and her stories about Granite City during the Depression were the inspiration for his fifth novel,  Wabash  (1987).\n \tPlanning to major in theatre, Butler enrolled at Northwestern University in 1963. During his freshman year, he starred in four of the school's six major productions, but in his sophomore year, he concentrated his studies in oral interpretation and playwriting. He graduated with a B.S. (Summa Cum Laude) in June 1967 and attended graduate school at the University of Iowa, where he received an M.F.A. in playwriting in 1969.\n \tSuspecting that after graduate school he would be drafted for military service in Vietnam, he visited the army recruiter in Granite City and enlisted for three years. He was trained as a linguist and assigned in January 1971 to a counterintelligence unit in Vietnam. Within six months he was chosen to be the administrative assistant and interpreter for the American Foreign Service officer advising the mayor of Saigon. His experience in Vietnam was a strong influence in his novels. Butler left Vietnam in December 1971, and later stated in an interview in  People  Magazine that he was \"filled with the same sense of nostalgia, loss, and even aspiration that the Vietnamese in my stories feel.\"\n \tIn the early 1970s, Butler moved to New York City and became a reporter, and later editor, of  Electronic News , owned by Fairchild Productions.

Following the birth of their son, he rejoined  Electronic News  in Chicago. At the same time, he was asked by Fairchild to return to New York to start his own newspaper. From 1975 to 1985 he was editor in chief of  Energy User News , a weekly investigative business newspaper.\n \tButler began preparing himself for a writing career in 1979 by attending four consecutive semesters of advanced creative-writing courses taught by Anatole Broyard, an African-American writer and literary critic of the  New York Times , at the New School for Social Research. What followed was a period of prolific literary accomplishment. Butler wrote several collections of stories,  Tabloid Dreams ,  A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain , which won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and  Had a Good Time , based on his collection of antique picture post cards (Grove Press, August 2004).

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context.
