John Norwood reflects on his father's employment in the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Company and his childhood, which included many moves across the country. Norwood discusses writing "Rio Grande Narrow Gauge" about the railroad, his research behind the book, and the history of the narrow gauge built by William Palmer.

David Ellingwood came to CF&I in 1950 after graduating from the University of New Hampshire. He was a geologist in the mining department. First his job was to expand the limestone reserve, later he examined iron in Arizona and in the 1960s he examined copper. In the 1970s he became the Chief Geologist, and his reports were very well indexed.
