Compiled from Gretchen’s memoirs written over six years at Urban Ore’s request. 3 Gretchen Brewer Remembers Recycling Hero From the Heartland September 24, 1945 – February 21, 2017 Excerpts from memoirs she wrote In the last six years of her influential life Compiled by Daniel Knapp, Ph.D., a friend. Wayzata Exotica, and Dad Our family’s first home was in a small town called Wayzata, a far suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was a great house, with gables and attics that made for cool hideouts. Also there was a large yard, and a big screen porch where we’d sleep outdoors during the hottest nights of the summer on old Army Surplus cots. Some of my earliest adventures took place in that yard, where I was spooked by a garter snake one morning. I recall being amazed when my Dad blithely remarked, “Oh yeah, I scared him out of the window well earlier this morning.” To me, a snake was frightening, like the cobra in Rama of the Jungle, an exotic show set in India that I watched on Saturday mornings. After hearing the snake swish through the grass, I was frightened of our yard for weeks! We had Lilies of the Valley growing in a little garden where we buried our pet turtles who didn’t survive—probably from the flowers painted on their shells. We had a nifty wooden sandbox my Dad built, a swing-set, and a wooden rocking boat Dad built that reversed to be a pedestal or stage.1 1 from “Kindergarten with Miss Vessladahl.” 4 A First Lesson in Metaphysics It was one and a half blocks to Hippy’s Store, then a block further to Widsten School.

W. LOVERIDGE Aulsiang Chief Branch of Operation, Forest Service United States Department of AgricuUculture UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1932 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, 0. C. Price 25 cents PREFACE Good business management has already saved large sums in the administration of the national forests and has greatly increased the effectiveness of the work being done by the organization which is m charge of them. Within the last few years, for example, consolida- tions of administrative units have resulted in reducing by 8 the num- ber of national forests, and the number of ranger districts by 80. By such consolidations and reorganizations it has been possible to do urgently needed work otherwise impossible in the amount of approxi- mately a quarter of a million dollars a year.At the same time the service rendered the public has not only been constantly improved, but there has been a downward trend in the curve based on forest-fire losses and area burned. Job-load analysis and planning have been major factors in the most recent efforts for increased economy and effectiveness.These efforts are still under, way and will result in further progress along these lines.In order, therefore, that the methods developed during the course of the job-analysis and planning project my be most effectively used in the organization studies stifi to be made, this manual has been prepared.
