Show MR. AND MRS. JOHN HILL #1 worked there, almost called most of the people by their first name. CE: Were many of these people native to this area or did many of them come from foreign countries? JH: No, actually I think that most of the people, many of them came down from Rifle, transferred from Rifle down there. I think a lot of them were just people that lived in that area, lived in Nucla, Naturita, Norwood. Incidentally, there is another guy you could talk to if you' re down there. His name is Luther Walk, and he lives in Norwood. He was a foreman down there for many years. CE: A foreman at Uravan? JH: Yes. He worked for the company many years. CE: Nucla? JH: No, Norwood. That's about 30 miles southeast on the highway. CE: Thank you. JH: Well, as I remember now, we used to have a lot of fun. Of course, we had 2 little boys growing up, and we had a lot of experiences. CE: Did you have a church? JH: Well, that would have been in the community building. CE: If you had church services, it would have been. I understand that there is a church there now. 12 |
