Do you remember a guy named Ticknor? He was a foreman, I think in the C’s.
I heard of him, yeah, but I don’t know. He’s still around isn’t he?
No, I think he died about in the middle of WWII. In a truck accident.
I remember the name. Yeah, I remember. Pretty nice guy.
Edward…
Meola.
Oh, Ed Meola. He died here. He was a landscape foreman there. I think that’s spelled wrong, isn’t it?
Yeah, it’s from the transcription.
Ed was a good guy. He was a foreman. He wasn’t as good as Howard Buford or some the others, but…Ed, I think he went back East to get his landscape architecture, but he was in the Naval Reserves I think when the war came along and they called him back in. Then, when he got out he got a job at the State Parks in Salem, OR as a landscape architect. He died here a couple years ago, I think he was 82. Ed was a good guy, he was an Italian guy, good guy, yeah.
Did he do any of that wrought-iron stuff on the inside of a lot of the buildings? Who was responsible for doing a lot of the wrought iron, oh the chandeliers or curtain rods?
We made a lot of drawings for those, but Ed didn’t, I don’t think.
Oh, he didn’t?
I could be wrong, I really don’t know. Because they were making that stuff down at Annie Springs. Now, he might have, I really don’t know. I remember we made the fireplace drawings, I think I told you about that concrete beam over the fireplace, of how we worked on that.
