did a good deal of dog sled racing, placing first with my . dog
in 1930 in the Lions Club Dog Derby.
In 1938 I went to work for Red Comet, Inc. of Littleton,
Colorado, a manufacturer of automatic fire fighting apparatus.
In 1939 I was made district manager for them over a part or the
western states, and in 1940 I established my ovm fire control
supply known as the Greet Western Fire Control Supply. I have
been working as an independent fire control engineer since,
and I handle, distribute, sell and install all types of auto
matic and manual fire fighting equipment in the rural areas over
five western states .

pilot certificate by Ed Leach. a senior CAA inspector of
Portland, Oregon, and for the last three years have owned my
