Franklin F. Snyder
I don't remember his name, but that's another story. He got a, because of a special
activity there, he got a P-16 rating for his activities there. Just before I retired, I
sold the office on getting out of, not that I was doing much administration, but
getting out of the routine work to do some special research in rainfall and runoff

A ..
Yes.

Well, Mark Gurnee, he worked there for just awhile until they found a better job for
him when he came back from the war.
