This is Amelia Kay King interviewing Gene Freeland
for the North Texas State University Oral History
Collection. The interview is taking place on Octo-
ber 12, 1980, in Dallas, Texas. I'm interviewing
Mr. Freeland in order to obtain his recollections
concerning his association with the local Dallas
Council of AFL-CIO.
The first thing I'd like to ask you about is
some background information--where you were born,
when, and that type of thing.
I was born in this fair city fifty-two years ago,
on the 30th of April, 1928. I grew up here and
have lived here all my life, except for two brief
times, a total of little over two years, that I
was in the Marine Corps.
Did you start working here after high school, or
did you go on to some college?
I went to Southern Methodist University for about
a year, and then I went to work at the Dallas Power
and Light Company in the Distribution Department,
