About narrator: Southern Ute and Navajo in ethnic background. He was a combat in Vietnam, with the First Cavalry with a helicopter unit. He talked about how it would be almost dreamlike to be on one of a series of helicopters headed toward streaks of light coming up from the jungle. He told the interviewer that his nickname "the Renegade" came when he and a buddy were in a disagreement with a couple of Marines in Vietnam and he threw his knife which flew end to end and stuck to the wall, making his friend say "you're a crazy Indian, you're a f------- renegade!" He is an avid motorcyclist and works as a counselor with Southern Ute teens.

About narrator: A Durango native, Mrs. Brennan was the second woman in history to serve as a La Plata County Commissioner (from Jan. 1985 until 1992) and the first to be re-elected for a second term. Prior to that, she had been vice chair and then chair of the La Plata County Democratic Party in the 1960s. According to Sally Morrissey's biographical sketch in the 2/2/1997 Durango Herald, the County budget was automated during her tenure, the new airport terminal was built, the courthouse addition was finished and the county jail was constructed. She was born in Durango in 1920 to Edward and Zipporah McDaniel and was married to Micky Brennan in 1942. She and her husband operated the merchant-owned Credit Bureau of Durango for 40 years until 1985 when they sold it. They also published and distributed a weekly bulletin service to businesses that was a compilation of legal activities recorded at the County Courthouse, a service she continued after Micky's death in 1994.

About interviewer: The Fort Lewis College Archivist.
Notes on interview: Interview conducted the week after an Elderhostel service project at the Center of Southwest Studies in which the narrator participated. Her friend and Elderhostel teammate Elizabeth Blake quietly listened in on this interview. Toward the end of the interview, the interviewer asked Mrs. Case to explain briefly her role in developing the Research Triangle in North Carolina starting in about 1950, which was a significant contribution of her life, even though that was outside the scope of the Center of Southwest Studies. This audiotaped presentation was transcribed by Brookes Boswell, student archival assistant at the Center of Southwest Studies, in March-April, 2000, and was formatted by Center Archivist Todd Ellison on April 7, 2000 and a copy mailed to Mrs. Case on May 4, 2000. Mrs. Case returned the transcript, along with copies of five letters of reminiscence dated 1967 from her dad to herself and her sister, in June of 2000 with corrections and amplifications [the latter are noted in square brackets] which Ellison input on June 28, 2000, mailing a copy of the revised transcript to the narrator on that date.

About narrator: San Juan Heritage KREZ television broadcast series speaker.
Interviewer: Delaney, Robert W.
Earliest year: 1873

Latest year:

1969
About interviewer: Director of the Center of Southwest Studies at that time.
Notes on interview: Undated. Master tape is one reel to reel tape of a KREZ television program entitled Assignment 6. Series co-hosts were Robert Delaney and former state Representative and long-time resident of the San Juan Basin, Arthur Wyatt. Poor recording, but audible. When Catherine Conrad attempted to listen to the audiocassette to transcribe the interview comments on 1/31/96, she determined that the recording was too poor to be transcribed. We might want to listen to the reel tape and attempt making a better audiocassette recording from it. Release signed by Dr. Delaney and the Center of Southwest Studies 1/98.

Notes on interview: Typescript of a reminiscence: Morris Grodsky was "a CCC boy in 1940...stationed at a Bureau of Reclamation CCC camp located at the [Vallecito] Dam site. Our assignment was clearing the timber from the valley, prior to the filling of the dam by the blocking of the Los Pinos river. I have written a little account of that brief period in my life. And as it really is part of the history of the dam and the lake it created, I thought that you might have an interest in it. This account exists as a contribution to a CCC site which is on the internet. It also appears in a book which I have written."

The noon-hour session took place in the Art Gallery and took the form of an oral history interview, with Ellison and others asking questions of the sculptor. The sculptor is Japanese; his presentation was in English but due to his accent some portions of his statements may be difficult to discern.

Notes on interview: Interview is on four 90-minute tapes copied in Nov. 1995 from our 2 reel to reel master tapes; both sides of each filled. Date in August 1964 not stated. After transcribing the first tape, Southwest Studies Studies Center secretary Catherine Conrad decided that the subject (northern Colorado) is not especially pertinent to the Center's collection policy, thus we are postponing any further transcriptions of this interview until the Center has transcribed all of its higher priority oral history interviews. On 11/9/05 Todd mailed a release form to Robert M. Osborn, 14417 Andrews Dr., Denver, CO 80239 to sign; the release is now fully signed off.
