Well, why don't we wait a little while.
Q ..
Okay. Let me make a note on that.
A
When I get into Washington.
Weather Bureau, Washington, DC
Q ..
I don't want to take you ahead of the story.
That was a good engagement in Pittsburgh. I enjoyed it, particularly when we had
A
a flood on. That always added a little spice to life. But eventually, there was a
vacancy, or else he made a vacancy, Mr. Bernard moved me into Washington in his
division, although, as I said at that time, they had reorganized so that actually, he
was no longer the head of River Forecasting because it had been moved in with all
other types of forecasting. But he had a special assignment as Supervising
Hydrologist. He was still primarily in the river work. But actually, my boss was
a man in charge of all forecasting. His name was Tannehill.
We moved to Washington then, and we stayed temporarily at an apartment near the
Geological Survey. But then, through Duane Paul, that I had roomed with earlier,
we got into Arlington Village. I don`t know whether you're familiar with that or
not, but it was a new development. The first development was Colonial Village, the
one off Wilson Boulevard, right near Rosslyn. Well, anyhow, this same builder,
Ring, built Arlington Village. They were row apartments, but they weaved in and
out, and they all had a back court as well as a front yard, and they had very strict
requirements. I think the rent was a month.
Q ..
That's off Glebe Road, right? South Glebe Road?
A ..
No, off of Columbia Pike.
Q ..
Columbia Pike, okay.
They'd been converted into condominiums three or four years ago. It's right close
A
in. It's right close to town.
