They could just extend you x amount of days?
We had to have 90 days before we got vested. They’d dump you at 89 days to save that three-and-a-half days of pay that they had to give you. When they started getting uniform allowances, he [Buck Evans] always bought guns with it. It never went toward his uniform. Oh, the stories about him are just wonderful. He was the kind of guy you just loved. But then they removed him after he was Chief Ranger nine years. He was finally removed and became a file clerk to finish out his career. They called it a management assistant when he was a file clerk. I saw this grand man who was a legend in Yosemite and how he could fix up broken hips and legs and haul people out mile after mile through snow. This man was incredible, and here he was reduced to filing papers for about two years. He had a little office next to the Superintendent’s office. He’d go around every morning and he’d pick up the mail and deliver it to peoples’ offices. He’d pick up the in basket and dump out the basket. He was just biding time.
