Ray Mansisidor Interview, July 22, 1984
Ray Mansisidor talks about the two summers he worked as a smokejumper in 1946 and 1947. He describes training at the Nine Mile Ranger Station in Montana and jumping in McCall, Idaho. He talks about socializing with other smokejumpers, who were mostly fellow military veterans at that time, and discusses policy changes since his last season in 1947, including the inclusion of women smokejumpers and the "let burn" policy. ; https://scholarworks.umt.edu/smokejumpers/1075/thumbnail.jpg
