Show harle D. now 21 F bruary 200 CHA: When I first got out of the service I thought about being an attorn y and I g t t the University of Utah and they said, well, it's going to take you six years to be an attorney. I said, not me. I'm not going to school six years. So I just started filling the groups, and I wound up in business administration. I was just beginning my junior year and filling groups. One of the group requirements was the natural sciences, and one class I took was geology from Dr. William Lee Stokes. His acquaintance with dinosaurs and my growing up around the Dinosaur National Monument and knowing a lot about the Dinosaur National Monument because my father worked there-he'd actually helped excavate the allosaurus that is at the University of Utah--but, anyway, with Dr. Stokes I became interested in geology, and I switched majors. Unfortunately some of the prerequisites for geology I hadn't taken. I'd taken the wrong biological sciences, so I had to take zoology and a lot of other classes to meet the requirements to get into geology. From the time I started until I graduated was a little over six years. WIN: You almost could have been a lawyer in that much time. CHA: [laugh] I have no regrets. The geology was a good career. WIN: So you had Stokes, and I guess Christensen was there. CHA: Christensen. Williams. Eardley. WIN: Was Stringham there? CHA: Stringham, yeah. Doc Stringham was there. In fact, one of his lab instructors was Anthony Payne. Tony had actually gone to junior high school with Bonnie. He, for a while, was at South High. Technically he graduated in California. He left about six months before we graduated in '44. I've kept track of Tony in that he was a professor at 20 |
