Show WILLIAM EVERETT HALDANE #1 followed him just like we did on the Metals Reserve program. I followed along with him a little bit after that, in which the work that we did, I would say that basically John and I were the ones that carried the program along. Anyhow, it ended up with a favorable settlement to the Ute Indians. Then another little break from the uranium industry. I spent about a year with Mr. Livingston on explosive test work in Utah and here in Colorado in which I was the site engineer, the man in charge of the on the field work. Although this has indirect relationship to the uranium program in that we were establishing a ways of perhaps--well, eventually the nuclear bombs and so on, the damage they can do, we were doing it on a smaller scale. It has a direct relationship to this. Then in about '48, I, by this time, my Dad and Burwell had retired and the combination of Joe Weston and Ray Sullivan, Mineral Engineering was organized. So I went to work for them on their first government drill contract that they had up on Calamity and Outlaw [Mines]. CE: They did a lot of work for the AEC, didn't they? WH: Yes, uh huh. This happened to be the USGS, but it was for the AEC on this particular drill contract. This lasted until the early 1950 's. A couple of years 15 |
