Description
Pamela Sitton’s childhood stories follow her construction worker father’s journey from one job to the next. She learned to adjust to a family move at a moment notice, to play in the back of a pickup truck and lived in a series of trailer homes. Finally in 1963, they moved to Las Vegas, where her father worked at the Test Site. For Pam, it was a chance to finish her schooling in one town. She attended the original Las Vegas High School and then UNLV, where she earned a degree in English literature. She recalls the Vegas of the 1960s for her unique perspective—a time of war protests, working a series of part-time jobs from cocktail waitress to post office worker, and her path to marriage in 1973. A position at UNLV’s library had been a dream job that she finally achieved when hired in 1974 as a member of the circulation staff. She held various positions throughout the library and remembers the various library buildings as a student and a professional.

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."
