Show PAUL FRANKE OCTOBER 2, 2001 PAU: Discharged, because the smelter was on strike. They had a six-month strike. BBL: So your job was still there at the smelter? PAU: Oh, they welcomed me with open arms. In fact, this colonel that was over this weapons development, he asked me when they were going to disband Dugway, if I would consider moving to Maryland, Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. And I opted not to. I'd had enough of that in the East. HEL: There's no place like home, huh? He did go back to the smelter for a while after he left Dugway, but he couldn't stand the gas out there with his lungs. So he looked otherwise for a job. BBL: HEL: PAU: BBL: PAU: HEL: So, by the end ofthe summer, '46, you were discharged? Is that right? Yeah. Uh-huh. And then you went back out to work there as a civilian? That winter I spent out there, yeah, Dugway. That was the year Harold was born, and Harold was born on the first of November. He was working as a civilian out there, of 1946. BBL: PAU: HEL: How long did you work out there as a civilian? Only about six months. Then Harold Weed- did you ever know any of the Weeds that lived over here on, well, where California A venue goes through there was a big home, they took it out; used to-California Avenue ended there on Ninth West, and then you had to go over to Thirteenth South to go east. 39 |
