What rifle is Donald Gray holding? Looks like a BB gun.

John sent me a larger copy of the image, it looks as if he has one of them old Daisy pump action BB guns. Maybe he shared a rifle with one of the other team members and they needed something for the picture.

Probably before 1934 as I think Carlyn left around that time. He was not there at the same time as CO Behrman. So I think that means C.O. took over the barrel making after Carlyn left.

If I can find the newspaper article I'll post the date.

I spent a day and a half with Carlyn and a good part of the day with Alva Bennett.

Alva was living over at Niles and they were doing some construction in the next apartment. My tape recording has a lot of the conversation covered by the hammering.
