His son and grandson, shown here, were visitors to the dam recently and were given a specially-conducted tour by the Bureau of Reclamation's guide service. The father and son reside at 1808 Indiana Street, Vallejo, California. The plaque is on the left hand side of the entrance to the Hoover Dam's Arizona elevator tower through which a third of a million visitors leave the dam and power plant each year following guided tours of this mammoth structure on the Colorado River between Nevada and Arizona. Guided tours of the dam and power plant, starting at the elevator tower on the Nevada side, are available daily to the public between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ca. 1950's (Bureau of Reclamation photo)."
