"Interviewed by John Morrison on August 4, 1987; transcribed by Cheryl Ryan, September 1997." - T.p.
To the reader: My predecessor, John Morrison, conducted a total of seven interviews during the four months he served as historian in 1987. Pete Foiles was among the former park employees he interviewed, but a backlog of tapes and no funds for transcription meant that processing did not take place until a decade later. Fortunately Mr. Foiles remained at the same address all this time so that I could locate him for help with the editing process and release of the transcription. What follows is a short account of life at Crater Lake over a three year period, from December 1939 to October 1942. Some related information is in another interview with Hazel Frost (since deceased) that Morrison conducted on the same day in 1987, and one by Jeff LaLande with Arch Work in 1981. The latter appeared as part of the third volume in a series called "Recollections: People and the Forest," printed by the Rogue River National Forest in 1990. Stephen R. Mark November 1997; Topics include interviewee's background, service, living and social conditions as a park ranger between December 1939 and October 1942 at Crater Lake National Park
