Wayne Howe – Part Three and Four

Some of the success that Lave Beds has had lately has been due to getting a little bit more money. 

Well that’s good. We haven’t been to Lave Beds in quite a while. There were certain things that happened, I can’t think of anything specifically that was sent down here to be done, but there were some, I think, when Rouse was here (27). Now, that dog gone horse fence that’s out there on the view point out toward the north- I’ll never get away from that! Ed Kurtz was my immediate superior. There was the regional director, and there was a deputy director who was Ed Kurtz and then I was the Associate Regional Director of Operations. Actually, that’s the one-two-three. And then your other associate regional directors, you administration, and your professional services and this sort of thing, very seldom acted as Regional Director. So, that was just about the way it was. After I retired I came down here and I saw that thing, I hadn’t seen it before, and I saw Ed- he was still working, he didn’t retire for several years later- and I asked him, “Who in the hell approved that monstrosity out there?” That O.K. corral that Crater Lake has.” And he said, “Well, you probably did!” NO WAY I could have possibly approved something like that! It really is something else (28).

Jean: When it was new it just really knocked your eyes out, you know. It’s looking better now.

It’s looking better now.

The last operations evaluation we had a couple weeks ago said to get rid of it.  

Oh great!

So, hopefully that will help. 

Is that when Chuck Odegaard was here?

Briggle and his team. 

Who was on this team?
