Show STEVE GUTTMAN INTERVIEWING B.A. BROUGHTON FOR THE COLORADO PLATEAU URANIUM PROJECT, JULY 31, 1970. SG: Just a general background on yourself would be appreciated. BB.: My first practice was in Payson, Utah, and that began in December of '54. After about five months, I moved over here. I think it was about the first of June in '55. Actually, we first went to Monticel~o, and I worked at the Main Office in Monticello and then came down here. I can't remember whether it was one or two days a week. We used the Utah Motel at that time for an office. And later that same fall, we moved from Monticello down to here, and went up to Monticello for a couple of days a week. Just reversed it. We had problems with telephone service and the post office. The post office was smaller than it is now, and a lot more people and no box numbers. A lot of it, you know, was delivery mail. We'd wait a long time sometimes to get our mail. But as difficult as the problem was, well, they had good personnel in the post office, and they took care of us pretty well considering everything. And as far as business is concerned and the size of the town, I remember it was probably about the same number of people then at that time as there is now. That would be roughly, oh, in the neighborhood of five thousand, fifty-five hundred people. It could be more or less, two or three hundred people. Business was not quite as good then for me as it is now. It's a little bit more permanent people |
