Q ..
I think it was Potter.
A ..
Yes. We were probably on our way to Bogota. I had a half a dozen consulting jobs
in Bogota. Ingitec was the name of the engineering company.
Q ..
Well, I'll check that.
A
Well, anyhow, I called the Canal office and the Governor was away, but whoever
was acting for him was very friendly-and it may have been somebody I knew, too.
We were invited to some reception they were giving. I always remember that.
Major Projects
Q ..
Do you remember any of the major projects besides the St. Lawrence that you may
have worked on?
A ..
Well, of course, the Pick-Sloan.
Q ..
We talked about that. Those were a lot of large pieces of work there, Garrison and
Oahe.
A ..
Yes, I remember those were tremendous projects. And, well, of course, the
Columbia River. Los Angeles always had a lot of projects in the mill for their flood
control, and after they authorized water supply in Corps' reservoirs, they started
putting water supply in some of the projects.
Q ..
Did those flood control dams in Los Angeles present a problem because they were
dry most of the year?
A ..
Yes.
Q ..
Did they cause you more difficulties to forecast those things because of the runoff
and the nature of the terrain?
