On the east side, near the Lloyd Center?

Yeah, right. But that office phased out.

Would that have been the old engineering office? I know the Park Service had its engineering headquarters in Portland in the thirties.

I think they did have some, yeah. Because Clyde was a thirteen, which is a astronomical grade, in those days. That was probably ’51 or ’52, and he took two rangers down there with him. I don’t know what the heck they did.

Where was the office in Medford?

In the Federal Building.

The old brick Federal Building.

Yeah, the old brick Federal Building. We were on the first floor of that.

Where did you live in Medford, when you had to stay over?

I don’t remember, there was not a government house.

There was not a government house?

No, we just rented, what would you call that a condo today I guess, something like that. I knew we weren’t going to be there for two years.

In Klamath Falls, did you have to rent something locally?

The office, you mean?

Yes.

Yeah, we went through GSA and we found this one building and had them build it to our specifications, the internal part of it.

[Ron] Do you recall the Rockefeller Forest and the Blue Creek Flat incident with the ’64 logs, I mean that came into play in terms of logged over land at Redwood Creek?

Yeah, it had a lot of importance to in the creation of the Redwood operation.
