Franklin F. Snyder
here from Arlington in 1967, whether they got misplaced then or not, don't know,
but I sure would like to find them.
Q ..
Did you deal with him at all later on when you were with the Corps of Engineers?
A ..
I may have seen him once or twice at ASCE meetings, but I had no business
dealings.
Q ..
Okay. You mention a little bit about what you did in high school and college in the
summers. Is there anything else that you would like to amplify from last weeks
discussion on that period up to 1945? I have some questions I'll ask you, but I
thought I would ask you first.
A ..
There was one thing that, now I can't think of his name, but we had a real famous
classmate that graduated from Civil Engineering in 1932. He was the commanding
general of the Air Force during World War II.
Q ..
You mean Curtis LeMay?
A ..
Yes, he was a classmate of mine.
Q ..
Is that right?
A ..
But I never knew him because he had finished his civil engineering work there at
Ohio State and then when I was there, he was down at Kelly Field taking his air
training. But he did get his degree in 1932. I'm not sure whether he came back for
the graduation or not because I wasn't with the regular group when they graduated.
I had to go another quarter. But his picture is in the picture with all of the rest of
the 1932 class.
Well, he went on to have himself quite a career, didn't he?
Yes. he sure did.
