Description
This photograph has three images. The first one (0272_0072) is upside-down, and it reads, "Speaking of celebrities - 'Form Raising Crew'. A tough and dangerous - a few boys were hurt on this one. I managed to say a little prayer before climbing over a hanging, swinging panel - Dear 'God' don't let it fall now. Only one man on it while it's swinging. Get that first bolt in fast. Art Strickland 'Ill'. Swinging panels make him seasick - some chickens can't fly." The second one (0272_0073) has a handwritten inscription that reads, "'Form Raising Crew' (cont.) 'So. Dakota Slim' - My Gott in himmel! If we had something that wouldn't move - we called on Slim and Reeves." The third one (0272_0074) shows a general view of operations looking across Black Canyon from high point above Nevada spillway. It reads, "Birds eye view of dam, spillways, -- intake towers."
