1911...

Mostly a mine manager--38 years on the same mine.
No kidding. Where did these guys come from? It's like an excess of
personality and ambition drove them. How did that happen?
What made them reach for more than other men; Live larger lives?
Why was it all guys? What's the deal there? Are we so much
less ambitious? anyway...
American--Aspen Colorado-- came in 1911 to build and manage
the mill at the McIntyre gold at Porcupine camp.
Stayed with Mcintyre for 40 years. Working it.
did well. Kept it safe.
Worked on health problems of miners. That's a big deal.
