Barbara: We were there four years, and we spent about five months, or so, in Sleepy Hollow.
Yes. Dick Brown was assistant park naturalist. I’m trying to remember the name of the chief ranger….Jack Broadbent.
Barbara: He lived in the stone houses.
They lived in the stone houses.
That circle of three…the next set above the cottages?
Well, the stone houses are the ones up above what you call the hospital.
There was one house that was traditionally the chief rangers?
I don’t know, I can’t comment on that. My job there was mostly office work. My office was upstairs in the administration building. I could look out my window onto the snow gage and right across the half from me was Dick Brown’s office.
We’re back after a short break, and discussing Crater Lake.
Well, I don’t remember the exact year, but it was probably around 1958 or 9, that Dick Brown took a promotion transfer down to Muir Woods a chief naturalist, and I hired Dave Dame to replace Dick, and Dave eventually went up to the Washington office as chief of interpretation.
He’s mentioned in some of the reports.
Well, this was Dave’s first job with the Park Service, he had brought quite a bit of talent with him. He was the one who made a model of Crater Lake one winter there.
The model that’s at Sinnott Memorial?
Yes. (5)
