It was there Paul Brake . and Hazel Gunderman became acquainted through their interest in music and dated and became good friends. Ithaca, in the finger lakes district of southern New York, is a very beautiful place. 11 It 1 s very much like here, only less rugged and has much more rain, 11 says Hazel. . When Hazel was born on August 30, 1901, her parents, Charles and Ethyl Gunderman, lived in Waverly, New York, about 4o miles south of Ithaca. Mr. Gunderman was employed by an aggressive company with a great future, the Bell Telephone Co. "Dad was a construction .foreman and a trouble man for 33 years. This job eventually took us to Ithaca. It was hard work without the machines used today. The telephone poles were raised by horses and the men had to pull the wires by ha~d. During the years he was trouble man, he was called out during storms · and in the middle of the night whenever service was interrupted. 11 School was quite demanding in those days. "We didn 1 t get any credit for just being there. Every year we had to pass the Regent's Exam or we would not be passed on to the next grade. Our home was heated by a coal stove. We had running water from the town's spring-fed reservoir, so pure it needed no filtration. We had no supermarkets. We bought milk and eggs at the creamery and our meat at the butcher's. The stores did have some canned goods, which was a h~lp, since the only fresh things available during Winter were cabbage, celery, t~~nips and plenty of apples. Bacon was 20¢ a pound and if butter go~ to 35¢ a pound, people thought it was too high to use. Refridgerating food was never a problem in winter. We always bad a cold room, but in summer every one used an ice box. Blocks or ice were delivered twice a week. Ice cutting on the river provided work for many men during winter." During the 1920 1 s Hazel taught music to many private students. This work was successful and enjoyable until the years of the depression. Suddenly people were too poor to pay for music lessons and.Hazel was out ot work. In 1932 Hazel and her mother went to Los Angeles for a visit and decided to stay, since there were more · jobs in California. av.er the next 30 years Hazel had a variety of jobs. "I took whatever was availableduring the depression. There was no unemployment compensation then. 11 In 1962 Hazel made a trip back to Ithaca. While visiting Miss Holmes, one of her old teachers at the conservatory, she learned that Paul Brake, whom she had not seen for over 30 years, was teaching school in Salida, Colora~o. When she returned home, Hazel wrote to Paul and the friendship which had begun so long ago resumed. They met in Las Vegas, Nevada, over Christmas vacation of {962 and were married. Paul returned to Salida to finish the school year. The next summer he joined Hazel in Los Angeles. The Brakes came to Ignacio and Durango for a vacation in the summer or 1964. This was not Paul's first trip to this area. He had taught music in the Ute Vocational School 6 years from 1946-53. Of all the bands he taught in various schools across the country 1 Mr. Brake says he got the most satisfaction from his bands at the Indian school. Primarily,, Mr. Brake says, "Because the Indian children are very talented, musically." ) ) �. ~Paul had good memories of Ignacio and Hazel took an immediate llking for the area . After a little searching, they· located a house to buy, then returned to Los Angeles,since Hazel needed to -work only a few more moaths to reach retirement age. She had no regrets about ~ leaving Los Angeles. . "Los Angeles offers many cultural advantages, such as the- Hollywood Bowl, the museums, and the symphony, but I never really liked it there very well. It is damp and fog 6 y much of the time. Then the town began to grow until all the autos made the air almost unbreatheable. '' Pulling up stakes to move to Los Angeles and then on to Ignacio 1s part -of the pattern of Paul Brake's life. His career in music has .taken. him to more places in the country than most people have heard of. Paul's father, Charles Hobart Brake was a school teacher. educated in Canada. Later he bought a Business College in Norfolk, Nebraska. Paul was born there on December 14, 1897. After selling the college , Charles farmed in Nebraska and then decided to go back to Nev York. Not long afterward, Paul began to demonstnate the beginnings of the musical talent which would dominate his life. Paul had been forbidden to 11 bother 11 his father's clarinet, but wnen he was alone in the house Paul experimented with it until he could play a tune. When his father caught him, )le . de_c ided 1 t was not mischief b1:1t po~ential . talent showing up. So Paul got lessons. - Then he was sent to the conservatory where he met Hazel. His first jobs were providing theme music at the theatres in Ithaca. Then he went on the road with the band in Ve.n Arnum's Circus and became fascinated with the traveling life. Over . the next 20 years he traveled the country with a marvPl n11s variety of circuses road shows and melodl"a~s. Paul worked one season on a living legend, ihe Cotton Blossom Show Boat. "We played the tm,ms up and down the Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, one play going down and anoth~r coming back up the river. We did Little Shepherd .Qf. J5:j.n_gdom .Qpme and )1n;wanted .Q..hild. The band provided incidental !]iUSic. · ~or the plays. · When the boat stopped near Hannibal, Missouri, I asked an old timer whether he had kno'1m Mark T,-rain. He said yes; he had lmown him and that Mark was a pretty good man, but an awfUl liar. 11 The show boat was a theater built on a barge. It would seat 500. "Most of the time we stopped at townsi but occasionally we'd tie up at lonely little docks in farm country. ~hat night we 'd see the people walking through the woods with their lanterns and rowini; down the river in their skiffs . People in those areas were hungry for eatertainment and it was surprizing what a crowd we'd pull out of seemingly empty country • . Seats cost 35¢-75¢. There we~e 10 in the cast, 12 in the band and a crew of 3 operated the stern-wheeler steam boat which manuevered the barge.~ Paul played tuba for the Youngstown, Ohio, Symphony for several yearsi then went back on the road with the Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bai ey Circus. Other years he taught band in schools in Ohio, Texas and Colorado. . The Brake's time in Colorado has been retirement in the best sense of the word. Now that there ·is time, tney have· both worked to developfurther their talents and interests. · Hazel_ has taught piano to many youngste:rs and_ sp~nds hou~s oil painting. Paw fishes in .t he Pine River when he takes a notion, t.eaches violin and comnoses music • . His latest creation, a symphonic composition of four suites for band was conducted by ~ • . Brake at the Ft • .Lewis Band Concert last December. Our senior citizens are people with abiliti~s and interests as varied and as valuv able ss those o~ any other age group. The Brakes are adequate- evidence of this. · We send both or them our best wishes for good health and for many years to work and create and contribute to their community. by Shelby Smith �WP;i,gQ~ TO OUR .JANUARY SOCIAL Date Where When HOW 301 1976 .••• January Community center 12:00 noon Pot Luck Rural Areas near and northwest of Ignacio--Please bring main dishes.
