There were still some political appointments made for seasonal work during that time (12)?
Not particularly, it was just that we had to supposedly come up with a certain percentage of minorities in our seasonal employment.
Did your grade increase over time?
No, except for cost of living increases. I started as a grad 12, I guess.
How was the Medford Warehouse used?
That was primarily storage for equipment that we couldn’t use at Crater Lake during the winter. It went to the USGS after my time.
Did you visit the regional office in San Francisco very often?
Well, I was down there for training sessions a few times. I had good rapport with all them in the office.
Were there every any general meetings for other administrative officers in the Park Service when you were at Crater Lake?
No, though we had sessions in the regional office where administrative officers came from all the park areas. I wouldn’t necessarily call them training exercises but they were discussions, going over procedures and so on.
Did you have people that worked under you being detailed to other parks?
No.
