Water Resources: Hydraulics and Hydrology
Engineers was doing. I told him about the various hydraulic model tests being conducted
at the Waterways Experiment Station. He later served for many years on the Corps'
Coastal Engineering Research Board [CERB]. We used to see him down at the Waterways
Experiment Station one or more times each year. He always had something constructive
to say about the laboratory work there.
He died just a few years ago in Mexico. He did some consulting work in Mexico, and he
found a place there in [Baja] along the ocean front that he liked very much. I'll bet that
was a very healthful place, so he moved there two or three years before he died.
Was Richard Folsom there when you were there?
A:
Yes. Richard Folsom was there when I was there. He's now president of Rutgers
University.
He's the hydraulic engineer that worked with O'Brien, and then you worked with him in
Los Angeles, didn't you?
A:
Folsom?
Because he was with the Los Angeles
A:
Folsom?
Yes.
A:
Oh, he must have been there ahead of me.
About `33, I think.
A:
Yes, he was ahead of me. I didn't get to Los Angeles until `39.
And he went to there, I think, after that.
A:
Yes. I hadn't seen him since I left the University of California, 1935. Richard Folsom.
