Description

This photograph has three images. The first one (0272_0075) reads,"'Form Raising Crew,' 'Chris' the Boss - Webfoot 'Oregon' - Alright boys; let's go over the top - Reeve and I had the guts to climb over a swinging panel. If it was a large panel Slim would climb over after we secured it with a bolt on each end." The second image (0272_0076) reads, "'Form Raising Crew' - Pal Jake 'Georgia' - Georgia Cracker. ([Georgia as in:] 'Whar's the hammah? Who's got the bahr')." The third one (0272_0077) shows a particular day on site a week after Reeve's seventeenth birthday themed "something for the kid." The inscription reads, "The Crew. This form is hooked up to 'A' frame bars you see in foreground, is used to pry form from cement after it has been unbolted. Then it is jacked up to position and bolted up. Then load your 'A' frame - jacks, and block & tackle, and move to another job - some high pours have four panels - all swinging."
