Well, to go back to Leavitt. He drove around in a big black, I think it was a Chrysler; it was a government car, of course. There probably wasn’t much work to do in the first place, but I don’t think he ever stayed in the office after about 4:50 at night. You could see his car going up the hill to the Superintendent’s residence, which was just dedicated last week (14). And he took very little part in what was going on here. Now in the wintertime, he and his wife would usually come up here about twice during the winter. They tried to get up here shortly before Christmas. I genuinely think that she was really interested in what was going on up here. Now Ernest Leavitt might have been the same way, but it’s not the way it affected me and it’s not the way he affected a lot of people.
Jean Howe: He’s just more reserved. She gave Christmas gifts to every child in the park. One Christmas she made Christmas stockings for every child in the park. She was just a very nice lady.
She was very nice. Now they had an apartment, the building is still there, it’s the building that is right behind the fire house, where the steps go upstairs, and I don’t know what’s up there now if anything (15). But is there still a wooden building this side of the machine shops and everything?
Yeah, there’s a machine….
Well the machine shop and the garage and everything are all a new building. But on this end of it isn’t there still a wooden building of some sort?
