This is an interview by Roland Matthies for the use by Oakwood Center and perhaps the Clark County Heritage Center to understand the beginnings of Oakwood Retirement Village here in Springfield.

Gary Wade. Tell us of your background and how you got interested in doing this job and how you got it done.
