GW- I'm Glenn White, I'm a local resident noww, we've been here about a year
and a half, we moved from Dallas- I'm retired and actually I was coming here to

some people.
Hoy - But you were a student here.
GW- I was... started school in uh class of '53 so I statrted in the fall of '49.
Hoy - Betty
BIN - Uh Betty Ann White and I was dating Glenn and would come down on the
train.
Hoy - We're gonna hear a little more about that later
GS - Well I'm Grace Skrivanek and I used to live here, I was a 4th grade school
teacher out at old here Consolidated my husband was a highschool princcipal
back in the 50's and we had a chance to buy some land and cross the Brazos
river so we moved over time, and I'm a retired teacher now from the Bryan ISD
2
but it feels like I'm coming home everytime I come back over to the College
Station community.
Hoy - now what years did you teach the 4th grade
GS - I was here in 52 to 57
Hoy - good because I didn't have a child in the 4th grade then and I would be
embarrased if you would teach the 4th grade when one of my 2 boys was in
GS - No you wouldn't , I taught the superintendents children, I taught the
principals children, we taught each others children the teachers and the ... we
were just one big happy family.
Hoy - well all 3 of our children ... entire systems here so 1, know and then run
into some of there teachers and they're always saying to me now which prison
should I send this message to to one of your boys- well they're fortunate they're
at for right now but for how much longer O.K.
Titia - I'm Ella Latitia Francis Cofer Haines and I have lots of names but I go by
Latitia Haines now or little D as Bill Hansel will remember me as for little devil
not little darling. I was born on the campus in 1923 on - was really born on the
campus in a house uh thats of course no longer there close- right across from
whats is Walton Hall now : went all the way through school lived here all my life
until I got married I have a older sister Sara Allen uh Cofer Landen and Brooks
Cofer who is still here and I' m - just came because I thought it was a privaleage
to get invited and I don't know what I ran add but I do remember walking a lot so
uh just happy to be here.
Hoy - Bill
BH - Well F.W. Bill Hansel uh I was born in Bryan when I grew up on the
campus at A &M where my father was a professor and department head. I spent
my entire childhood and young adulthood on the campus at A &M left after
graduating in 1941 went into the armmy what turned out to be 5 years came
back here went to work as a staff member and stayed here throughout my
lifetime. I've seen many changes inn my 76 years some of them good of them
not so good but this is a real opportunity to at least try to recall history if you
want to call it that - College Station - this area.
Hoy - Well lets start by trying to get a far back as we can - I think Grace you
mentoned about your father/ grandfather?
GS - Oh its my father in law, they lived, he had a farm on the both sides of the
Brazos and Burelson county and he said when he went to A &M, this was like
3
back in the 1900's, he would - they'd hitch up the mules to the wagon and take
him into Caldwell railroad station and he'd go from Caldweell to Hearne and
then he'd get off and then he wait and get on another train and come to College
Station , they'd stop, the train did stop in College Station and then he said the
had to - they used wood to burn to keep warm - anything like that.
Hoy - Was that hall around when you were on campus that she just menntioned
it.
Grace- Titia and interviewer all talking at the same time about the right name of
the hall ( Gathrite not Galberth) interviewer then goes on to explain the rules
about talking one at a time and then continues.
Hoy - Now the name of the hall is what? do you think
GS - What is it
Betty - Gathrite
GS - Gathrite all right
Hoy - Now , Tish you know - you and Bill both know about that - was it still there
when you were on campus
Betty & Titia - yes
Hoy - O.K. let's go back - lets see if we can establish what year we're talking
about.
GS - It was in the early 1900's
Hoy - O.K. who said that somebody graduated in 1907 your father
BH - That was my dad . yeah
Hoy - O.K. so your - father in law
GS - My father in law it was before that.
Hoy - Oh it was before 1907 so they probably were'nt in school together O.K.
GS - But he didn't graduate he said " I fell in love with a pretty girl and got
married"
Hoy - The interesting thing on the transportation this was
4
GS - by train
Hoy - weekly or monthly
GS - but he didin't go back home until...
Hoy - Oh I see when he first came - he came by train from Caldwell to Hearne
GS- Otherwise they did have a road but then it was a ferry they had to go across
- the old San Antonio Real that was the road that they use but it would take to
long to go by wagon to get from - well it was, little cooks point community now -
from there all the way over here - 16 miles - it would take all day.
Hoy- Let's go back to Bill then I think we could talk about 1907 because what
she's tlking about now would be before probably this period of time that that
they had the they way have still had the ferry across the Brazos on the OSR and
all that but what do you recall from your dad about his experience here - early
experience here in College Station - you said he came from San Antonio - Do
you - Did he ever relate to you how he got on compus or how he got here.
BH- I'm sure it had to be by railroad which was rather difficult in most days we
had the Southern Pacific and the IGM or Missouri Pacific and I suppose that
from San Antonio to - what was then called valley junction - I guess it is still
there, where he changed trains and came or caught a train finally to get to
College Station.
Hoy- O.K. so you say he graduated in 1907 so that meant he started in about
1903....
BH- under something like that
Hoy- and he did his? got his degree in...\
BH- He got his degree in horticulture in A +M and later attended Iowa State and
Cornell to get his masters and...
Hoy- And Ive already mentioned that we've tied him initially to the
apartments so I want to make sure that. let the record show that we've tied him
to some landmarks here O.K. Tish what's your earliest remembrance on campus
as it relates to transportation.
Titia- Well, mostly we remember walking cause when I was little my folks didn't
own a car and we'd walked.
5
Hoy- O.K. your folks did not own a car when you were a child - right- is that
what your saying?
Titia- thats right I must have been in about the 5th or 6th grade when they
bought ther first car.
Hoy- I appreciate the fact that you identified a time point for us. I don't know
whether you recall that you did or not but you said that you were born in 1923.
So then were talking about 1930 before the actually...
Titia- now my mother was a Bryan girl and her father owned a car and I can
remember my father talking about riding the inner urban to - back and forth to
Bryand and I know there was some kind of a bus but as a child we used to ride
the train into Bryan to go to the pictures shows and get a soft drink and then
come back and thats really what I remember....
Hoy- that would be during the daytime probably
Titia- Oh yes
Hoy- to ride th train get down and back
titia- ... and to go to the movie.. and I remember other people having cars and I
was talking to my seister before we came in here and we used to take trips on
the train - I remember the train when you were going away and I said well how
does the luggage yet there, and my sister tells me that the A +M students would
come and get your trunk, you would pack your trunk and your A +M students
would come and take them to train and they would be shipped to where ever you
were going and you sould walk to the station and your neighbor our neighbors
were the Mitchell's at that time and they would get up and they would help you
walk to the train station and carry the suitcase.
Hoy- Grace- Grace
GS- I was going to ask a question - was that station where we had station before
was it the same place.
Titia - As well as I remember it must have been the same place
GS- Oh I didn't know
Hoy - So that at that time your school was actually on campus too
Titia - Yes right on the campus the grade school was where kind of in front
of where the military dorms are now
6
Hoy - so you didn't there was not any bus service to that school bus
service to that campus or to that school did all the children live on campus
Titia - All the professors children went to this school then it was made of country
schools of consolidatged schools and there were buses to bring the children
fromd Wellborn and around to the school we never had bus service and we
never thought a thing about walking in the morning walking hom for lunch
walking back.
Hoy - I'm still trying to establish the fact that in this perior of time your talking
about up through maybe the 5th, 6th, or 7th grade it was not consolidated at that
time right or may be do you ever remember being in school and seeing a
school bus drive up in other words.
Titia - I don't at the grade school but I don't know whether there was then or not.
Hoy - was there anyone that rode their horse to school
Titia - no
Hoy - the reason I bring this up, Mary Lynn grew up around Hiden hammer and
she was in the 1st grade, my wife, and she and her dad would saddle a horse
and she would ride into school and then the teacher would unsaddle it and put it
in the pen and the men took care of the pen and all that and in evening they'd
saddle the horses and she'd ride home
Titia - was that around here
Hoy - Hidenhammber is just right up by Temple and I just wondered if there was
any of that
Titia - There may have been out at Wellborn or see there were some schools
out there but nowhere no place for horse. We didn't even ride bicycles to school
I don't think, we walked.
Hoy - when we were speaking about the wasn't the vetinarian or horse
facility out where the golf course is at that time
Titia - on the other side
GS - Northgate
Hoy - Now do you remember at the period of time was there any wagon use at
that time by then or had they all been passed by then
7
Titia - yeah
Hoy - O.K. Bill going back to your father you said when ;your father graduated
and he went off to Cornell did graduate work and then he eventually came back
here on campus and was a resident on campus is that whre you two met after.
Titia - yeah
Bill - In affect everybody knew everybody
Hoy - and so it was like on individual community, in fact it was almost like that in
1957 it was still a pretty small community while I was a student and your right
we all went to the same church in fact the cadets still march to church in the
morning. Well lets jump ahead and lets talk about riding the train for love
purposes. Ok Betty how did this get organized where the gals at TS
Betty - TSCW that was the sister school
Hoy - But how did - kind of go through us how there railroad trips originated
Betty - You had to go from denton to Dallas on a bus - you had to get your own
fair, and then from there down here and Joyce Girdwell was in my class and she
said she talked to Blue Burgess this morning and the remember the fare was
$12.50 now those two girls both dated AGGIES
Hoy - Is this a round trip fare or one way
Betty - I don't know I didn't ask and they finally got so sharp that they rented a
bus in denton and got girls that were coming down to date and it would just come
straight but I don't, never did that but know that did it.
Hoy - So I guess you guys would take up a collection and get money so they
could buy tickets and come to see you
Betty - I don't remember anyone of them ever paying for
Bill - I don't remember having any money back then
Hoy - I still want to go back and say ok - how did you quote know you were
going on a trip or arrange for the trip or something
Betty - Well when we were asked for a date you know we would
Bill - you never went on blind dates obviously
8
Betty - Oh yes we sure did and by the time we ere seniors some of us had cars
and we would all you know it would be full and what was so funny in Hearne we
would always stop at a filling station and freshen up you know so we would be
ready to meet our dates.
Hoy - Then where did you stay once you were here
Betty - At different people homes. I don't believe stayed in hotels.
Hoy - And even in 57, well I'd say even up through the sixties after we built over
on Glade we would go to bed at night and have 10 or 12 girls and wake up with
13 or 14 and say where'd these others come from and they said well the places
where we were staying is that the guy knew we were staying there and if we
didn't like that blind date we didn't know where he could find us so we moved
over here
Betty - We did stay at the MSC some after !think about it
Hoy - Then when you come to school in 49 did ;you have an automobile at that
time
Bill - No I didn't
Hoy - How did you get to school in the first place
everybody - walked
Bill - well hitchhiked mostly - my first trip to A &M I was in the football season
before 1 actually saw the campus because the was uphill at Bryan Air
Force base and we caught a greyhound bus in a little place called Saltun in
Hopkins county and rode to Dallas and the guy 1 was with knew somebody in
Dallas and they invited us to ride in the car from Dallas to Bryan airforce base so
it was on up until the football game before we saw the main campus
Hoy - So if ;you go home after you were a student here when you go home on
weekends or whatever you do was mostly hitchhiking
Bill - Mostly hitchhiking, I did know one guy that had a car that went home
sometimes - mostly hitchhiking
Hoy - since you graduated you said '53, well I won't be able to tie you but I think
can tie to some of the cadets over there because I remember on Sunday night
we'd go to church the first church for College Station which was over at
Northgate at that time and we lived over on Gilchrist in that area and a house
9
that we were renting from PeIly Didman you probably know that name But
anyway it took us a while to get home particularly if its raining cause we'd go
back and there would be the cadets you know would be coming back from the
weekend and have a duffle bag and be there at that bus station. Then we'd take
them to the dorm and then we'd come back and there'd be another one walking
and the kids " are we ever going to get home" You just couldn't pass up those
kids. The other thing I remember about it seeing at your time that the cadets
would come out and when they started hitchhiking they'd kind of line up.
Bill - first come first serve - we had different places for lines. The line going to
Dallas was downtown Bryan, I think it was, A Safeway store just pass where the
courthouse is just north of the courthouse and you would come in and take your
place in line and it was first come first serve and the Houston Line was just south
of Eastgate so they lined up you just put your bag in line and stood there until
your turn came and somebody picked you up
Betty - And they had a Dallas Line that would come back this way and it was
always the same place and you'd take when you had a date for the weekend
you'd take him by and leave him there
Bill - Hitchhike out from its by the old Messicves dairy on South Bernard in
Dallas
Hoy - Up in Dallas
Bill - Yup
Hoy - I didn't know about the story or the other end of the line
Bill - And they had the same thing in Houston. There's a line that formed up, I
don't remember exactly where but it was on Northside, in Houston that way up
there. One of my most interesting things was that one day I was going to Waco
and rather than hit the Dallas line which Waco and Dallsa was the same place. I
went to Caldwell where they'd had a ride and I got on the highway down there
going to Cameron I guess and a black cadet from Prairie View came and he was
a senior and I was a freshman and he says "well us Aggies need to stick
together" but some folks he knew came by before I got a ride so he went on his
way, but I , I didn't really know how to react of it just tell him yeah we had to
stand there together you know, but anyway it was all hitchhiking for me mostly.
Hoy - I remember in 1952 when I came back from Korea '53, I hitchhiked back
from California because the train ride was going to take 2 days or something like
that and I knew I could hitchhike back in a Marine Corps uniform and I got one
pick up with two, well, I wouldn't say Hispanic but they were really Mexicans, and
there were in a, had a truck load of fruit on it, and they put me in the middle of it
10
and went sound asleep between the two of them and you know when I woke up I
had no earthly idea where we were but we ere at. I thought we were at the
border going to Mexico but we were at one of those fruit check in places on the
California border and these guys pulled me out of there and said "What do you
know about all of this" and I said look " I'm hitchhiking ", kept asking me a lot of
questions and they got contraband fruit or something like that, what do you know
about this." I finally got out that I had to go somewhere and get another ride.
But ;you know back at that time there was no worry or concern
Hoy - Oh know I'd get in the car
- They were nice and good
Hoy - They'd pick you up and ;you know get in the car and go to sleep.
Bill - It was kind of an Aggie tradition because you had your uniform hitchhiked
in your uniform people knew that Aggies were great hitchhikers so
Hoy - Well, one thing about it is that it was a poor boys school and I know it was
a poor boys school, Now I want you to tell me your earliest remembrance of
airplane
Titia - Well I want to tell you one thing about that hitchhiking too. If you had two
places in your car you picked up two Aggies. if you had 3 places it was 3 if
you had one it was one you usually filled your car I do remember that in down in
the line, while they were still hitchhiking and we had car, but you picked up
however many places you had.
Hoy - I see so they came out of the line. What I'd like to do now is, let's see if
we can identify any air service, air transportation from any of you, anyone want
to volunteer their earliest remembrance about airplanes. Do you remember the
first airplane or air service or were there any barnstormers that come through
that you remember still or was that before your time or what
Titia - Well it wasn't, might not have been before my time but it was so foreign to
my family the idea of what you did that i probably wasn't anywhere close to it all
Hoy - But maybe on air show or something
Bill - I don't want to interrupt
Hoy - Well as the moderator you may - you can interrupt her anytime you want to
as moderator
11
Bill - Yes there was a barnstormer that came through when I was a young man, I
would say in the late 20's. Reg Robbins and he flew a Ford Trimotor and landed
in a pasture along side Wellborn Road just down or about where the Unitarian
Church is now that was all pasture, it was quite an event he took passengers for
a dollar and he took off down the pasture and he flew circled College Station,
Bryan and landed back in the same pasture, stayed about 3 or 5 days now I
assume by that time everybody that had a dollar, it was gone. That that was my
first recall of barnstorming or whatever you went to call it I don't remember any
regular plane service here until Pioneer lines came in.
Hoy - Was that before Guy Davis or after Guy
Bill - Well guy was probably the original person as for as charter flights that type
of thing is concerned and then he had whatever his airline was I guess was later
bought out
Hoy - Did you have a dollar to ride the trimotor
Bill - I must have had, I'm surprised my mother ever send it to him but
Betty - Bill
Hoy - You did make the trip
Bill - I did make the trip
Titia - she may not have known
Betty - In the Eagle a found a copy of me riding it, that I went up in that when I
was 5 years old
Hoy - ok, do you remember it do you remember the trip yourself. How many
people did he have in that trimotor at a time do you recall
Bill - I do not recall I would guess 14 or 16 at the most but it was fair size
Hoy - Yeah it was used a commercial flight I ;think and particular to carry mail
GS - You used the phrase barnstorming what what
Hoy - Well they, What I've seen in the movies, read in history of transportation -
a barnstormer - he got his really name I think from actually flying either close to
or even sometime through barns you know putting on shows. They were wing
walkers - all this kind of stuff but most of them were those double winged aircraft
you know that they use in crop dusting maybe still use some but they would
12
come into a community and put on an air show take people up for rides but what
Bill's talking about was a much more sophisticated, because the trimotor was
really the first air passenger plane that we had in this country ;when it could
carry like you said probably up to 14 passengers or something like that. It was
also, since it had the 3 motors on it steady, it was very safe too, I'm sure they
could land and take that thing off with just one motor but lets go back then to,
when was the first time you ever flew I mean other than that time commercially
did you ever fly out of Easter wood or anything.
Bill - Not until later much later in fact Easter wood
Hoy - It was after W.W.II I guess because it was named for someone a young
man who was killed in W.W.II
Betty - I remember it was very popular to fly in from Louisiana, it went to football
games in private planes to there and I do remember a daughter of mine coming,
having to get here in a short time from Baton Rouge and the only way she could
get here was to come on the day the plane had arrived and she said it wasn't big
because she said I was right with the pilot
Hoy - Yeah I used to ride with the Guy Davis now and then but with his pilots a
lot of times I'd be on the passenger and I'd set up in the co -pilot seat
Betty - They weren't very large
Hoy - No they weren't very large your right. Going back to your father in law you
told us about his how he got here by train thought Hearne and all he did he tell
any other stories that he may have told about his early age.
Betty - I asked Tommy last night, he said "Can you tell me some more " I said I'm
coming over here he said, well that's all he ever said, but I can remember in the
thirties uh about all everybody game but Jamesshore, and they didn't have
automobiles. My date happened to have borrowed his families car and we just
had it made. he came to pick me up we drove on out College Avenue, wasn't
any houses you could see that road go along on out here, the trees hadn't grown
up you know. I was just in hog heaven. That was really great!
Hoy - You were a princess going to the ball
Betty - That's right, of course it got so large they had to cut it down. But that has
the ball of the year. Better than the ring dance I think.
Hoy - We uh, course Marianne and I were married at that time. Of course it was
interesting, because here we were this married couple. We were a little bit
older, not that much older than then all the cadets and their dates and all that.
13
But I remember how much fun we had with the cadets and their dates even
though we were married and had 2 children. We lived over in the old veterans
house then.
