Chips

Gail, Pennan and Duncan,

I remember fondly my summer job – about 1981 -- constructing the green
house on Pontiac St. The most exciting part was filling wheelbarrows
with concrete, getting a running start and attempting to push the
wheelbarrow onto a 6 inch wide board then up the three feet to the
level of the greenhouse floor. When things went awry, it was a real
mess and a shin buster. I think we also removed the shingles from the
roof. We had a lot of fun on that project, kids running helter
skelter.

Around this time, I would have drawn out discussions with my father,
Monte Pascoe, regarding his job as head of the Dept of Natural
Resources. Endlessly curious, I would ask questions like, "What do
you actually DO?" He would answer that he made a lot of decisions.
It was through the course of these many discussions that he told me
that while at DNR, he could not have had three finer deputies.
Knowing Chips, I don't doubt it.

I always enjoyed Chips' jovial manner and his down to earth,
unpretentious way. He was a real pleasure to be around. Colorado and
his nut farm (-: miss him dearly.
