ill.; "Interviewed by Stephen R. Mark on September 1, 1988; transcribed by Darci Desharnais Gomolski, 1993-1994." - T.p.;
Topics include interviewee's education, park history, interpretive programs, bark beetles, blister rust, bears, heavy equipment, past employees and events at Crater Lake National Park from 1946-1950, service as a ranger and superintendent in the National Park Service in the 1950s and 1960s, management and improvements of Crater Lake National Park in the 1970s, and service as Associate Regional Director for Operations in Seattle.; To the reader: Wayne Howe began his National Park Service career at Crater Lake in 1946 and retired 30 years later as the Associate Regional Director for Operations in Seattle. During that career, he was one of the few people in the NPS to go from a GS-3 fire control aide to a GM-14--even serving as acting regional director for a few months in 1975. He continues to stay active in the Employee and Alumni Association of the NPS and the Friends of Crater Lake. This interview took place on a warm afternoon at Crater Lake. It was this interviewer's first on tape, so some editing was necessary. Mr. Howe subsequently loaned the park a number of his photographs and has been very gracious in answering my questions whenever I see him. Copies of those photographs, as well as our correspondence and some fieldnotes, are in the park's history files. Stephen R. Mark February 1994
