ill.; Photocopy; "Interviewed by Stephen R. Mark on September 24, 1991; Transcribed by Darci Gomolski, with assistance from Anton Briefer, 1994." - T.p.
To the reader: John Eliot Allen is an emeritus professor of geology at Portland State University. While a graduate student, Dr. Allen spent the summer of 1935 as a ranger-naturalist at Crater Lake. This interview centers on that experience, but attempts to put it in the context of a career largely devoted to teaching Oregonians about the geology of their state. I interviewed him in his office at Cramer Hall. There we indulged in some "time travel" and he gave me a number of items which pertain to the geological story of Crater Lake. Most of these can be found in the park's history files. The others are housed in the park's library, where several of his more than 200 publications can be found. Stephen R. Mark March 1994
