Lester Bowls

Lester Bowls worked at DuPont war plants before becoming a construction expediter at Hanford. After construction was finished at Hanford, we worked in operations in the 300 Area. After the war, he worked for Boeing. At the time of this interview, he lived in Seattle’s North End and ran a saw sharpening shop at his residence to make a little spending money. He called himself “a guy with a fourth-grade Arkansas education who raised seven kids, and five went to college.”
