R: ?
D: You mean the roads?
R: Did they use crushed shells?
D: Not around Orange County.
R: They wouldn't have used shells, they used bricks.
D: They used bricks in a lot-of places in Florida.
R: They used them on the city streets, but I didn't know they took them
out on the highway.
D: But of course, there weren't that many highways. When we asked them
why they made roads wide enough for only one car going one way, they said,
"Well,nobody is going to leave Florida, they're all coming in, so you don't
need but one way."
R: But if you had to pass somebody you had to get off on the sand.
D: It was very dangerous, because the deep sand could pull you off if you were
going fast. Of course, you didn't go very fast.
R: What age were you when you learned to drive?
D: When I learned to drive I was fourteen.
R: That was legal then?
D: As far as I know they had no laws at that time. But I actually learned to
drive in Louisiana visiting my relatives. My uncle decided to teach me.
R: Well they must not have had laws then because _she learned about
thirteen or fourteen over in St. Augustine. But in Mississippi, where I
grew up in, you had to be sixteen before you could drive and I had to
wait until I was sixteen.
D: Well, my father objected extremely after I returned back from summer
vacation, when he found out I had already learned how to drive.
R: And your sister had already learned...
D: No, she didn't learn until she was in college.
R: AnLyet,she was older than you.
D: We were different.
R: How were you different from Frances?
D: I was more of a rebel, I wanted to do things and I did them.
R: Well,you finally got to the Orlando high school.
