I am here with Jessie Tucker for the Vassar College Costume Collection Wedding Dress Exhibit. It's 6:24PM on Sunday, March 31st and we are at Vassar College. So first things first, could you just tell me a little bit about your wedding? 0:00:16.3 Jessie: Bless you. It was not actually a wedding of sorts...it was...we just decided on this particular day, my husband at the time, before he was my husband...was...worked on the railroad with the Chicago Northwestern Railway Company out of Chicago and he was a porter. And they would go, some of his trips were assigned to Omaha or [Ypsilanti], Michigan or Cedar Rapids, Iowa, wherever the trains went at that particular time if they needed someone, you know he was on a roster. And so, it was not definite what day he would be in, what day he would be back, whatever. So this particular day was January 29th, that he knew he would be home. And so we decided that particular day, but I worked. I worked with Illinois Public Aid Commission and it was downtown on sixty north and south Chicago. And since my lunch hour, I guess it was from twelve to one, I asked a couple of my friends, girlfriends from Murphysboro, Illinois--I'm from Southern Illinois--and they were also working in the loop and we had agreed to meet over at the courthouse, City Hall, which was I believe on Clarke street. I was on Ragdaw and Lasalle, and Clarke street is a block over. And City Hall is a block over from where I worked. And so, we met at the lunch hour and my husband to be came and we...I guess we had already done the procedures, you know previous stuff that we'd had to do. That was kinda a long time ago. And we met at my lunch hour and went before Judge (Trafy?) and they assigned judges for particular courts. They didn't necessarily have to be located in Chicago. I think he was located somewhere down state. After we got married, my lunch hour was taken, I went back to work, since my lunch hour was taken with this ceremony, and my girlfriends went back to work too. So we didn't even take time for lunch. And my husband went to a movie, I don't know which movie he saw. And so we met after I got off from work that particular day. So that was January 29th, 1953. And I was 18. 0:03:32.8 Emily: Woah. That's a good story, so it was pretty quick. Just in and right back to work. 0:03:39.6 Jessie: Mmhmm. We had been dating for a while. I met him through one of my cousins. 0:03:47.5 Emily:Did you have any sort of ceremony? Jessie: No. We we're going to have a party afterwards, but somehow we never got around to it. Chicago in January is very cold. Emily: Mmhmm. Jessie: And so, we just never got around. I was gonna have a honeymoon sometime. We were married 59 and a half years and the honeymoon never came. We went on vacation, but never anything such as a honeymoon. It was all very, very practical. You know? Emily: That still sounds like a...it sounds so nice. 0:04:22.9 Emily: So do you remember where you bought your dress? Jessie: I remember where I bought the dress. It actually was a suit. Let's see it was in ‘53. Emily:What we have is the jacket, I believe. Jessie: You have the jacket? Emily: Yeah. Jessie: It was kinda boxy, with the sleeves cuffs come out here. And some...that's it! And it has some buttons down the back similar to the ones down the front. And I bought it at the pollyannaish shop I believe on Madison, in the loop downtown. It was a famous place for shopping. Sort of like the boutique. And I particularly liked it, the straightness...the skirt was very straight and the small houndstooth. And it lasted well. I had really forgotten about it. Shona liked my retro clothes and they fit her well. It was the pollyannaish shop, I believe it was on Madison. And I purchased it. And at the time I think it must have cost around 125 dollars, which was one of those you could have laid away and saved till you had enough money and then gone and picked it up. Cause I was making 50 dollars a week as a clerk typist for the Illinois Public Aid Commission. And there was an agency that dispensed public welfare throughout the state. It was, you know, at that time they called it aid to dependent children and indigent families. 0:06:25.3 Emily: It's amazing how much you remember about the experience. Jessie: You know, I just really had to put my memory cap on. 0:06:31.6 Emily: So you mentioned a little bit about why you chose it. But do you remember anything specific about why you chose this particular jacket? This particular outfit? Jessie: Well it really wasn't intended to be a wedding outfit. It was intended, I was at work. So it just happened to be what I wore that particular day. If I had thought about it, it might have been something fancy. But it was not, it's just because it was a working day and this was what I wore. 0:07:02.2 Emily: You know, why did you chose to donate this particular jacket? Jessie: I gave it to Shona, and she was the one who donated it. I had totally forgotten about the jacket and that I had really given it to her. It was some time ago. At the time we were the same size and she liked my retro clothes. I bought a number of things from that particular store. And she was able to wear them. And why she thought it was worthy to donate it, I don't know. But it must have been a good omen because we were married a long time. Inexpensive to the extent that we didn't have the wedding. It was just...as I said none of the family was there, just my girlfriends. 0:07:56.1 Emily: So you never had any sort of...did you ever have any sort of party with the family of anything like that? Jessie: No. Went home and told everyone we got married. 0:08:07.0 Emily: Wow. That's really great. Do you remember how you met your spouse? Jessie: I was about to tell you that. I'm from southern Illinois--Murphysboro, Illinois--if you've ever heard of Carbondale. Emily: I haven't. Jessie: It's the University--Southern Illinois University. Well it's six miles from Muphysboro and it's sort of in a final part of Illinois. Illinois comes down with a small lower part. And I, at age 16 I graduated from high school. And I had two uncles who lived in Chicago. And before I graduated I took the civil service exam and I scored rather high--I think it was a 96 on the test. I got a card from them telling me I had passed the test and when I had come for interviews at the commission and so my uncle was coming through town I suppose and took me to Chicago. Chicago's about 350 miles from Murphysboro Illinois. So I got ready to go to the interview, and I passed the interview and got the job. My uncle had a son, who was friends to this young man. I remember my cousin would tell me that ‘I have a friend, his name is Booker Tucker Junior’ and I said ‘That's the silliest name I've ever heard’ because all those rs in it, and he was saying that he was very smart and that so...my cousin brought...he had a newborn baby and he brought his friend over to see the baby and I was living in the same residence with my uncle, but I had my own room. And the rent was 8 dollars a week. And we had use of the kitchen and the bathroom on the side. It was a three story building and there was one apartment on this side, there was a hallway in the center, and then the same thing on the other side. And these places were flat, they had been apartments. But then the landlords sold single rooms, so everybody had a room although I was there with mostly families. And I was sitting at the kitchen table eating and my cousin brought this young man in and he said ‘Jessie, this is my friend Junior’ I think he called him ‘Junior.’ And I said ‘Hello’ and we spoke, and that was all that. And he came back another time...after seeing the new baby...and he came another time with my cousin. Then the next time I heard from him, this was in the summer of 52 I believe, this same young man was coming over because he had a cousin that had come back from school and was working in Chicago and he told, my husband, who was still just a friend, that he was looking for a nice girl who went to church and was kind of quiet. And he said ‘I have just the girl for you.’ Emily: Your husband said that? Jessie: My husband to be. He said ‘I have just the girl for you.’ So he brought his cousin over and we went probably to a movie or to a park or something. All three of us. And then he brought the cousin back again several times and then the cousin went away to school and then the husband, the boyfriend, kept coming back and coming back and coming back. So the next time he saw his cousin he said, my husband's name is Booker, ‘Booker what happened to that young lady you introduced me to?’ He said ‘Man, we're married!’ So cupid got caught! And then I think by that time we'd had our first child. 0:12:58.0 Emily: When was that? Jessie: It was later in the year. 0:13:09.1 Emily: That's great. So how long were you dating before you got married? Jessie: Probably six months. Emily: That's cool. Jessie: Yeah, about six months. He would come over when he was in town and we'd go to the movies or he was 4 and a half years older and our relationship was different in that girls at my age didn't talk about the same thing. He had the caliber, and the experience. He talked about the planets and you know scientific things and current advances. And to me, I think I was impressed that he was not just ‘How are you? let's go here’ He had conversation--always really good conversation. But I found out later that he wasn't as deep as I thought he was, but I was 16 at that time. (laughter) Must of met him when I was 17. Yeah. 0:14:27.2 Emily: So, did you move in together after? Jessie: Well, we moved...I continued to work. I had two children--probably lived in that area--in that building. But then we moved from there. Emily: And that was near Chicago right? Jessie: In Chicago, this was in Chicago. Then we moved to the University of Chicago area. 52nd and Hyde Park area. We stayed there for about 5 years I guess. Then my husband was studying to be a radio announcer. And he got his certificate and his papers and then he started the job search. His first job was in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and so we moved there. We stayed there 5 years and the third child was born there. From there we moved to Louisville, Kentucky. And that's where Shona was born. And so everywhere I've been married I had a child. So we ended up with four children and he was in radio and TV and had a successful career and I moved because he moved, but I became an administrative assistant, and a paralegal to an attorney--and I did that for 25 years or more and then I went to work for the Presbyterian Church USA when it moved to Louisville and from there I worked in another law office for 12 years. So I'm retired, and it's not bad. I think if he had been in good health I would not have retired. He passed October 3rd, 2012. 0:16:38.1 Emily: I'm sorry about that. Jessie: It has been a long relationship. He got Alzheimer's and dementia. Alzheimer's is a long good-bye. He left a long time before he really passed, because you can't say ‘Remember when such and such happened? Do you remember so and so?’ When the person tells you ‘No,’ you don't have anywhere to go in the discussion--that's closed. Because even if I tell him he couldn't relate to it. Emily: I'm sorry to hear that. 0:17:21.1 Jessie: Also, Alzheimer's gives you a warning long before you know the actual date...the time. You have time to get prepared. If you can get prepared...it's not like a sudden passing. 0:17:36.2 Emily: Just going back a few years--you mentioned before you even got married that you lived with your uncle. Jessie: My uncle. His name is George Hubbard. And then there was another uncle, and his name was Anderson Hill. It's all tied into the Northern migration into people of that extended family because my family--my mother and my father met and they grew up together in Mississippi and I believe my father heard about this place Murphysboro, Illinois which was a railroad town. And so he went there then he brought this family up. So when I went to Chicago, my sisters, after graduating from school, came and we lived together. So eventually all of us left the small town and went to work in Chicago, and my brother went to the service first and then he came back to Chicago and then of course he's moved back to California, but I have two sisters who live in Chicago and we're still very close. I'm 78 years old. 0:19:01.1 Emily: It seems like most of your immediate and extended family seemed to live pretty close together. Jessie: Well, we make it close because I had 2 other children who still live in Louisville and the daughter has 3 children who've all graduated from universities and they're very successful. One is getting a master's in accounting in May and one of my granddaughters, the 40 year old granddaughter, she is getting her first degree and she is so happy because I tell everybody she just majors in big wisdom and good times in college. (laughter) the first time around...but she's always been very bright and I always told her how smart she was and she decided to go back to school she was striving to get that 4.0 and I believe she made it. So it's a happy occasion for us. I have two granddaughters graduating within 2 weeks time. One of the granddaughters graduated from the University of Kentucky as a pharmacist, so she's now a doctor. She's this tall. My grandson here Barack says I have a cousin she is grown, but she is little. She can't even make 5 feet. Her father calls her doctor shorty. Emily: That's so great though, your family has always been so close. 0:20:45.4 Jessie: Family is very very important to us and we make connections as often as we can. Barack and I just got back from Washington, DC. I have a niece who lives there in Alexandria, Virginia. She's very successful and her husband. So we stay close together and as many occasions as we can find. Or we make up occasions to get together, so it's a very close family. 0:21:19.9 Emily: That's great. So just going back to the wedding, do you remember what your spouse wore at all? Jessie: I believe he wore a sports coat and slacks and a tie. He was a very snazzy dresser or at least he thought he was. 0:21:47.3 Emily: Were you both interested in the fashion of the time? Jessie: I was. I've always been fashion conscious. I always liked, not necessarily the latest thing, but the best of what I could get for my money. Like I said, I'd put in a lay away and go in and pick it up and go in to get it. So I've always been fashion conscious and try to wear things appropriate that look well on me. You can't wear everything that comes out! So, I think if I had to do it over again, I might have had a small or medium sized wedding--just with family though. 0:22:34.2 Emily: So, just getting into a little bit of details. You said you didn't really have any bridesmaids but that all of your girlfriends were there. Jessie: Yes they were witnesses. Emily: Yeah, do you remember what they wore? Jessie: It was a regular...they worked in the loop also so it was just regular work clothes. Probably a suit, a skirt with a blouse and a sweater. So nobody was really dressed for a wedding--a wedding, wedding. 0:23:10.6 Emily: That's great. So that's about all the specific questions that I have but if you'd like to tell me anything more about your wedding, your marriage, just your life in general. Jessie: Oh bless you. We liked living in Louisville because it's a city but it has a small town feel and the neighborhood where it was good to raise the children. We did a pretty good job with raising four children. The neighborhood is one that my children could go down the street to go to church, they'd go to church before I did because church members came by, met me, and took my children to church. Louisville is really a great place. If you ever get a chance really go visit it--it's very pretty. Emily: I will. Jessie: It was a good relationship, ups and downs, but mostly ups. It all has to do with positive attitude. Emily: Yeah. Jessie: It does. Without it you're lost. And not dwell on hurts, real or imagine, because that just holds you back. You could be pretty upset at the time but you have to work through them. Because you both may decide I'm not going anywhere because nobody else wants me (laughter) so you make the best of what you have and it works. It does. I'm glad I had that relationship, but since he's passed people ask me would you want to get married again? (laughter) No. I like the freedom I have. I do. After almost 60 years I think you're entitled to some time to yourself. Because it's all about pleasing the other person, really. Of course in the process you want to be pleased yourself but you're always busy satisfying, or trying to satisfy, somebody else. There's a joy in giving. But something you like to have some return to you. You know? All in all it was a good relationship, but I never imagined it would last as long as it did because when you're 16,17,18, 60 years is forever, you know? Who lives that long?! (laughter) So it was good. If I had to do it over I probably would've dressed up--really dress up for the occasion. But things happen, and in situations you just do what you have to do. Emily: This has been fantastic! Jessie: Really? Emily: Yeah, thank you so much for talking. Jessie: Well thank you. I really hadn't thought about that jacket in a long time and I was happy to give it to Shona--she wanted it. I always liked to keep up with what the styles, but not the trends. Because some things people put on, they shouldn't wear! Emily: It's a beautiful jacket. I'm really excited. Jessie: Really? And at the time it cost about 110 dollars. It was wool blend I believe. The houndstooth was very small. It sort of has some Jackie Kennedy box style look. Emily: Yeah. This has been so great thank you so much for talking. Jessie: I hope you got something out of that.

Jim: A little bit about it, gosh, about the ceremony itself, you mean, or..? Emily: Yeah that, or you can expand in any direction you like. Jim: Okay, well I think we kind of put it together, and wanted to pull different interests that we all had, that both of us had through our lives, so largely it followed the Episcopal matrimony service, really, which we went through word by word and kind of tweaked a little bit so it sounded good for us. And then added, of course, since we're both singers and both musicians, we had lots and lots of music. That was kind of the biggest part. We had three choirs, different choirs, that also all sang together on one big piece, which was about 80 people singing. It was really amazing. Let's see, what else...and then I also have interests in kind of Scottish things, Scottish spirituality, Scottish music also, so I had little bits of that also--a piper that piped us in and piped us out, prayers, one little prayer and Gaelic, and stuff like that, so...anyway, it was just kind of a big celebration, really, with friends and family from all different parts of our life, which was kind of amazing. 0:01:43.9 Emily: That sounds really exciting. When was it? Jim: It was almost exactly a year ago, May 12th last year. 0:01:52.9 Emily: Wow that sounds fantastic. And where was it? Jim: It was at the...our church...right here in town about a mile from our house--Christ the King Episcopal Church in Stoneridge, where I'm the director of music. 0:02:07.5 Emily: That sounds really exciting, congratulations. Jim: Thank you. 0:02:12.2 Emily: So I guess, where did you--we have both your outfit and your husband's outfit--where did you get them, do you remember? Jim: Well, let's see..mine, the kilt outfit--the highland outfit--I ordered in Obin, Scotland, on the west coast in 2009 when I was there singing in a Gaelic singing contest. And I had worn a different kilt outfit, a rented one, and I decided after I wore that for a whole day I needed my own, so I ordered it then, and had worn it a few times since. But then when the idea of the wedding came up I toyed with whether or not I should wear it and then of course I decided to. And special for the wedding I ordered the plaid that hangs over the shoulder, which I didn't have before, which was really fun and came just in time from Edinborough for me to wear it. 0:03:19.4 Emily: That's perfect. Jim: Drew's--I don't actually remember where he got his, I think he got this at Woodbury Common, but I don't know what store. 0:03:30.0 Emily: That's wonderful. And then, why did you choose--you mentioned a little bit because of your interest in Gaelic culture--why did you choose your outfits? Jim: Umm..well, I think my interest in Gaelic culture came kind of through intuition I would say, and through starting to learn the language of Scottish Gaelic, and then going into the poetry and the song and that sort of thing which just resonates really deeply for me. I guess also growing up I kind of was told we were German, but in doing family research realized we were kinda half German, and the other half was sort of the English-Scottish-Irish mixture, and I did a lot of research, and there's kind of Scottish lines on both sides of my family, so that felt kind of strong to me, that I wanted to incorporate that in the service also and in the clothes. 0:04:33.1 Emily: Do you think you identify at all with the popular culture, the fashion of the time? Jim: Of popular culture now, you mean? Emily: Well, yeah, since you only married a year ago, so pretty much present day. I use that for people who got married 50 years ago. Jim: Right. I think, gosh, for me that's not so much popular culture. For Drew I'm not exactly sure, I mean usually he just picks things that he really really likes, and I loved that. I of course wasn't allowed to go on the trip when he went and bought his, but one of his best friends went with him, and I loved that he bought the suit with the window pane, which kind of fit with my clan really well. An Italian suit...which actually..he's very interested in Italian culture, and he's been studying Italian pretty strongly and is in Italy right now, so... 0:05:35.3 Emily: Yeah, I heard. Jim: Yeah, and we'll go back again in summer to teach, so. 0:05:39.7 Emily: Oh wow. That's exciting. Why did you choose to let us borrow these--your outfits--for this exhibition? Jim: Umm....well I think it sounded like a really interesting exhibition actually--to go through history--I love historical clothing anyway, and I guess mine is kind of historical clothing. So on myself I'm kind of interested in seeing that, and I think it's a wonderful way to show the transformation of marriage, which is happening right now, actually, and we can be part of that. I think that's kind of wonderful to support. 0:06:21.5 Emily: I'm really excited about it to. So how old were both of you when you got married? Jim: Ah... Emily: If you care to tell. Jim: I think I wasn't yet 50--I was 49--so...and Drew was 56. 0:06:42.0 Emily: Cool. And so you said you've been married a year. Do you remember how you met each other? Jim: I do. We met each other in a performance of Monteverde's "Coronation of Poppea," a Baroque Opera, at BAM, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, back in...gosh...I think it was January of '96, I believe. And Drew was playing a role, Ottone, and I was in the little ensemble of singers that that were largely from Glimmer Glass Opera where I had sung twice already. And we met there. 0:07:19.9 Emily: That's so exciting. So around the time of your wedding, of course it's recent, how important was it for you to get married? Jim: I think it was pretty important because we were waiting. We talked about it when we first met, actually, and even talked about what we wanted it to be like. And through the years-- because we had been together, oh gosh, 15 years or so--sort of decided we wanted to wait at least until it was something that was valid in the church or in the government or both. So kind of the moment we found out that happened in New York state, we decided...talked quickly and kind of were ready to do it. 0:08:09.6 Emily: That's great. How important was it, do you think, to your family and friends for you to get married? Jim: That's a good question...I'm not sure as far as my family is concerned, I can't really tell you...I don't know. There was some question as to whether or not they were going to come, but my mother and one of my brothers came, which was...I was very happy for that support...and Drew's, both of his sisters and some family came also, which was quite wonderful. I mean I don't think...I think people were very happy to hear that we were doing this and were extremely happy to be there. I think one thing--one of the moments that stands out strongly in the service for me was when...was the actual pronouncement of being married legally in the state of New York. And really at that time, even a year ago, it was not valid for priests in the Episcopal church in New York to declare that. So our priest, Alison Quinn, had to go figure out a way to have this happen, and she came up with an idea where one of our members of the church who was the warden for a while was a judge--so he came up dressed in his wonderful judicial robes, and at the right point he stood up and declared that we were married, and people screamed and clapped for, gosh, three minutes straight without stopping. It was very exciting, overwhelming, really, actually. 0:09:54.6 Emily: That's really exciting. Has your view of marriage changed at all in the past year? Jim: My view of marriage...I think I'm...I guess I would say I wondered, after being together for so long, really, how much it would change me or how I would be affected by it, and I really definitely could feel a difference after the ceremony, actually, in feeling the kind of love and support and blessing from all the people who were there, as well as from the clergy and everything, and I think that's kind of a wonderful. That's really kind of a wonderful thing to sense from your community around you. And I think we both felt that, and kind of feel cradled by that, I guess I would say, which is a wonderful thing. 0:11:01.5 Emily: Yeah. So I guess my last question is just if you could tell me a little more about yourself. Where did you go to school? What careers have you had over the years? Jim: Sure, let's see...I did my undergrad work in music, a performance degree in voice at the University of Southern California, and well, my family had moved out there when I was 10 or so. So I was not originally from there, I was originally from Chicago, and was there in LA for a while at school and realized that's not where I wanted to live, so I moved East as soon as I could after I graduated. I went to Tanglewood to study there in the summer and loved Massachusetts and moved to Boston right after that and lived there for about 10 years, and did my...after a couple years of working...I went back to school and did my grad work at Boston University in voice performance also, a Master's degree there, and stayed on for a few years in their Opera Institute, which is kind of a professional--preprofessional--opera program, which was quite wonderful, and still going on there. And I lived in Boston for a few years after that, performing there, then moved to New York, really, to be with Drew, and did the wonderful New York singer life of temping in banks and things like that during the day, and auditioning and singing at night, and churches, and etc etc. And got into teaching after that--singing, performing, and also teaching voice. And then since we've moved up here, gosh, 10 years ago. I've been working as, as I said, as director of music at the church, which was...I'd always sung in the church, but never really directed a choir, so that was an experiment, and I enjoyed it. 0:13:07.5 Emily: That's fantastic. I'm really really happy that we got this chance to talk for a little bit because it's been great. That's all the questions that I have unless you have anything else that you would like to add that you- wedding, marriage, life, anything. Jim: I don't think I have much to add; I do think it's a wonderful thing how marriage is changing now and allowing more of us to take part in it, because it is a...it really is a wonderful blessing, I would say, for us and for a community. 0:13:49.1 Emily: I agree. Well thank you so much for talking with me, this has been great and I hope that you get to see the exhibit.
