Jean: Well, they did get the top floor closed while you were here.
Yeah, we did do that.
Jean: Later on the third floor was closed.
Yeah.
I think the longest running, as far as a controversy, was getting the sprinkler system.
I’ll bet it was, yeah. And I’m sure that we probably, within the second year, had recommended a sprinkler system. I don’t recall, but I know it was a long ways back it was recommended. We had a fire truck, it was an old fire truck, but it was capable of pumping water, that we kept up there all summer just parked out there alongside. And we would go up about once a week and we would conduct fire drills with specific concessionary people to see that they could run it, to see that they could have fire drills. We were scared to death of that place. I still would be scared to death of that place. I would no more stay in there …I’d sleep out in the street first. There’s no way I’d stay in there. And I’m sure that by now it probably is reasonably safe for something that is that old, but it’s not for me!
I won’t venture my opinion. At least on tape!
I can. I just don’t believe it, that’s all. So in answer to the question as to what of my duties affected Crater Lake, all of them did, in some way or another, because all of my duties affected every park. Now I grant you that they affected Olympic and North Cascades and Mount Rainier more than they did down here… and at that time, Alaska, all the places in Alaska… because they were the big ones, and of course the Alaska ones were beginning to come up and this sort of thing, too.
And closer to Seattle.
Yeah, right.
