Mother and daughter oral history interview with the Bunings who lived in the last family home on Lake Eola. The two generation perspective begins with beloved Monsignor Bishop‘s 25 Year Anniversary at St. James Cathedral where he served as pastor from 1933-1957. Included are highlights of Orlando life such as watching the fountain on Lake Eola being built, walking to Kreskies, viewing parades from the Orlando Public Library entrance on Rosalind, summer reading competitions at the Library, graduating from St. James School, and as Mrs. Buning shares, “The challenge to keep some of the memories of The City Beautiful for future generations”. Hear this firsthand account of Orlando history from Joan Buning, mother of eight, and her daughter, Alice Buning Szunyog, mother of two, in this excerpt (15:02) from an oral history interview on April 21st, 2011.
