Selected Tales from the Waste family travels for Bechtel Corporation

 

 Living in Sandpoint, Idaho

1961-1962

 

This is the house we lived in. Among other unusual features, there was a swimming pool the size of a small lake.

This shows the shallow end and separate kids pool. The entire pool was enormous. In the winter we put on iceskates, swept the snow off the top of the frozen pool and went iceskating!

The winter we were there was one of the worst in recent memory. At one point, the water pipes froze and we didn't have drinking water for a while.
