Carl Dutton also wrote something out of that. I think it was the physiographic of Crater Lake.
I don’t remember. Carl Dutton became one of the top-economic geologists in the country, you know.
[Steve hands him book] Oh yeah, so he did, that’s right.
Well, I pulled that out of the files. In fact, you can have that.
I don’t remember this. Is this published in the…
The rough paper, it may be one of those things that were too long for the Nature Notes so, it was stuck in the file. I pulled it out and made a copy for you.
Oh, you mad this for me? I’d be glad to have it.
But he was also doing some research, as you were…
Oh yeah, we all tried to o a little research because we recognized that your reputation depends on your publications, as a young geologist. And besides, you’re always in an associate Sigma XI until you publish a paper, and then you can be a regular Sigma XI. That’s the science honor society.
So, it’s like what the British would term as being “blooded”.
That’s right! That’s not a bad idea, till a guy gets a good publication they don’t want to elect him.
You stayed in touch with a lot of the work done, subsequently, at Crater Lake and the various parks. One that comes to mind is Ralph Mason’s idea that the eruption of Mazama might have happened in January instead of June.
Oh, I don’t remember that, but that’s good! Ralph is a life long friend of mine. In fact, I hired Ralph on his very first job when I was with the State Department of Geology, we were sent down to Coos Bay to map the Coos Bay coal field again, and I hired Ralph as my assistant engineer. He was second in command on there for two years. Well I never saw that, that’s fascinating.
