Note from jkl
What you see here is the product of the memory, or imagination, of an “old”
Rigger of what took place
almost 50 years ago – I am surprised I even remembered that I went to Rigger
School. I have no notes or written documents. A few of the pictures I had in my
scrapbook did have a name on them. So if you find errors, omissions, or have
something to add please contact me at:
