Meet Rollie! - a Schroeder Great

Rolland (Rollie) stopped by the pool today and introduced himself.  Rollie is a retired painter and was one of two primary guys on the job in 1979.  He explained how without protection (harness) and up on scafolding that stretched across the width of the pool he reached the beams high above the pool.  When Rollie considered the size of the job to paint pretty much the whole interior of the pool, he moaned and said it was one of his biggest jobs/challenges.

Rollie also revealed that he was the first swimmer to enter the pool and he recalls it was very cold!
