Subject: Boulder Dam



When it waas first constructed, it was known as Boulder dam and that's

how I knewit when I wasin grade school (in the 30's). Also, the queries

about whether damn has a bad connotation confuse me. Don't any of you

remember the furore when Clark Gable turned, in the final scene of "Gone

With the Wind", and said to Scarlett, "Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a

damn." Very shocking, and titillating, I might add. You-all ( use the

term advisedly) make me feel very, very old sometimes. But then, at

72, I can't claim to be a spring chicken, anymore , can I?
