The great food fight of 1978. The fight lasted for at least 30 minutes and was in the room to the left as you enter the White House. There was food all over the walls.
Working in the White House basement water used to come down the back stairs into my office from the sun porch where the faculty ate lunch. I would squish around the carpet floor stepping on silver fish.
As you walk into the White House, on the left wall there is a picture of a house which one the Walter White daughters lived in during the 60's -80's. I believe the house is in Sumter, South Carolina.
In the 1975-81 years we used to have five straight weeks of phonathons in the White House.
The Kalberer family created and tended a Shakespeare Garden west of the sun porch.
The pictures of the Stockton [White daughter] wedding in the White House came from their governess who lived in a cottage on the south side of Mayfield. The Stocktons lived on the Southwest corner of Caves and Sherman roads.
Walter White Jr. came to visit with his Cousin Paul Vignos in a flashy sports car in 1979. Walter lived in Wazata, Minnesota.
From 1975-1981 there were four of us who worked in the basement. We did all of the fund raising and mailings. We had a huge Randall computer we called Randy. It stored all of the alumni gifts—ties, scarves, glasses, cuff links, chairs, etc.
