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. He believed his life was not greatly affected by his internment and recognized that the civilian internees were relatively comfortable in comparison to American Prisoners of War imprisoned by the Japanese.","Note written by Gillian Morton","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This forty page oral history interview transcript relates to Robert Mckay who was a student and interned by the Japanese at Baguio in the Philippine Islands during World War II.  The interview was conducted with McKay at a Baguio Internee reunion.

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. 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.

Books and Pamphlets","Dorothy Burnett Porter Wesley (1905-1995) was a librarian, curator and bibliophile born on May 25, 1905 in Warrenton, Virginia. Her parents were physician Hayes Joseph Burnett and tennis player Roberta (\"Bertha\") Ball Burnett. She was the eldest of four children and grew up in Montclair, New Jersey. ","She graduated from Miner Normal School, Washington D.C. in 1925 with the intention of becoming a teacher. Wesley worked as a library assistant in the Miner Normal School library where she worked with librarian Lula V. Allan (1879-1968) who encouraged her to pursue a career in library science. Wesley enrolled in Howard University in 1926 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1928. She then enrolled at Colombia University's School of Library Science where she received a Master's in Library Science in 1931. ","In 1929 Dorothy married artist and art history professor James Amos Porter (1905-1970) with whom she had her only daughter, Constance \"Coni\" Porter Uzelac (1939-2012). James A. Porter graduated with honors from Howard University in 1927 and began teaching art there the next semester. His classic book and standard reference work,  Modern Negro Art , proved to be one of the most informative sources to date on the creativity of the Black artists.","In 1930, Dorothy Porter began work as curator of the Moorland Foundation at Howard University, (now known as the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center) and worked to build the library's collections documenting African, African American, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Hispanic history and culture. After becoming the Curator at Howard University in 1930, started thinking about how to catalog books by Black authors and related to Black history and culture. At the time, she recognized that the Dewey Decimal System only had two numbers (for \"Slavery\" and for \"Colonization\") under which all works related to Black people or Black authors could be cataloged. In response, during the first few years of her Curatorship, she created a new classification system that reflected the true breadth of the books available on topics related to Black people and by Black authors. She disseminated the classification system to other libraries, and published it in 1939. Porter worked at the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center until her retirement in 1973.","James Porter's died in 1970, and in 1979 Dorothy married Charles Harris Wesley (1891-1987), a noted historian, educator, and author. After receiving his master's degree from Yale University in 1913, he taught at Howard University from 1913 until 1942. Between 1920 and 1925, he also earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University, the fourth African American to do so. He served as President of Wilberforce University from 1942-1947 and of Central State College, Ohio from 1947 until 1965. ","Charles Harris Wesley authored more than 15 books on African-American history over the course of his career. His first book, Negro Labor in the United States, was hailed as one of the most useful works on the role of African-Americans in industry available in the 1920s. Dorothy worked with Charles on a variety of research projects even prior to their marriage, and continued to do so until Charles's death in 1987. ","After her retirement from Howard University in 1973, Dorothy Porter Wesley worked as a consultant for a variety of institutions and foundations such as the Radcliffe University's Black Women Oral History Archive. She also continued to write articles and books.","In 1994 President Bill Clinton presented her with the National Endowment for the Humanities' Charles Frankel Award. Dorothy Porter Wesley died in Broward County, Florida in 1995.","The book  William Cooper Nell, Nineteenth-Century African American Abolitionist, Historian, Integrationist: Selected Writings 1832-1874  (2002) was the last research project that Charles and Dorothy worked on together, and was posthumously published by Dorothy's daughter, Constance Porter Uzelac. Uzelac worked as a medical librarian. After her mother's death, she became the Executive Director of the Dorothy Porter Wesley Archive and managed James A. Porter's art collection.","In 2000, Constance Uzelac worked with the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book, James Findlay, on an exhibition of her mother's collection that was displayed at the Broward County Main Library in February and March of 2001. Samuel F. Morrison, Director of the Broward County Library, was instrumental in bringing the collection to exhibition at the Bienes, and would further encourage the purchase of the materials from Uzelac for the newly-opened AARLCC Special Collections in December 2002. Constance later worked at Broward County Library, cataloging a portion of the Dorothy Porter Wesley Collection at the AARLCC Special Collections. Constance married Milan Uzelac in 1965. They had no children. She died in Broward County in 2012.","This collection received file level processing.
