Dickey,

I remember that incident real well tho it wasn't actaully in Fairfax County, was it??? I thought it was Arlington but real close to the line??? It was Bailey's Crossorads (Columbia Pike and Rt.7) and was a highrise being built where I first sucessfully landed a taildragger Piper Cub at the ol' airfield cross from the drive-in theater..

I was workin' two miles from that job an' had almost taken a job on that project that would have had me in the wrong place at the wrong time... Fortunately, I got a temp job with Dittmar Construction Co. doing maintanance between real jobs... Paid well...

Yeah, that was a terrible collapse an' it could have been prevented if the inspectors had forced the bulder to let the concrete set up before stackin' another floor on top...
