Rodríguez-Martinez, Rocio

Rocio Rodríguez-Martinez’s oral history is one that comes with the glimmer of emeralds, soft aroma of orchids, and the powerful scent of coffee—100% Colombian coffee, that is. Born in Bogotá, Colombia to Eustacio Rodríguez and Tulia de Rodríguez, Rocio’s story is one that takes her from pretending to be a teacher at her family store in Santa Isabel to teaching English to mothers of students in the Clark County School District [CCSD] of Las Vegas.

Graveyard crew on No. 7 cableway. 240 8 cu. buckets. 8 hour shift, Boulder Dam. 12-18-34" There is a list on the back: "1. high-line operator 2. Bell boys hi-trussel and on dam. Andy 3. Donkey operators 4. Hook tenders 5. shifter, of crew (Colette) 6. Night Supt. Car Colette 7. Regular crew 8. Me. Returned to help crew for this record from form-raising crew. "All worked on No. 7 line in some capacity, except 8. Kizziar (KI-ZAH) -as a regular. Lots of work that day. Didn't take time for lunch. Run over to grab a bite and jump back. My job was to trip the safety (dog). Bucket was in the pour every two minutes. Just time to wade out of knee deep mud. On top trussel everything was panic. Bellboy sets an empty bucket in crib of flat car (which has three cribs). Hook tender unhooks it and donkey driver will back up to hook on full bucket. Bellboy signals hi-ball -- operator knows how far to take it." The other two images (0272_0082 and 0272_0083) did not have an inscription with the image.
