Dear Ann Landers,
missed your first article on Roger Daub, who fell from the Garrison Dam, but I saw the second letter, and it brought back memories. When I was a 20-year-old engineering student at the University of North Dakota, I got a summer job on the Garrison Dam. I worked as an inspector on the surge tanks, and one of my primary responsibilities was to see that the contractors followed safety standards such as wear-ing safety belts on the scaffolds. I had been on the job only about a week when Roger Daub came tumbling down. After that happened, I changed my major from engi-neering to math. Nobody falls 150 feet in math. -J.C.H., Dallas

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, forsaken in the clutter of a jewelry box. My friends passing by my window. Laughing over the gossip column in the school paper And giggling over who will be the next to experience The new morality-and freedom. For cleaning-what a drag! For him-always arguing. For ironing-senseless hours. For dishes-useless. For cooking-a bore. For sex-a hangup. Oh God, if you are there, Please let someone take this crying baby off my hands And let my feet dance once more. I am so old. And I was never young.

Tell us what you think?
