Dr. Don Smees

Today I had the pleasure of gathering the oral history of Dr. Don Smees of the ADVS who used to work in the virology lab on the second floor of the Art Barn. I am working on transcribing the interview but I think my favorite parts were about how he liked the lab because it had windows, the 400 salamanders he raised there on accident, ad how he thougt it was funny tht they had to cut the railin g to ge the giant hoods that they used up the stairs. He was funny when he was lamenting about wishing there was elevators there-especially when the oxygen guys came to deliver and whined about having to carry the heavy stuff up the stairs. Anywho happy Tuesday.
