Typed information accompanying negatives: Bob Sutton was the camp manager during the summer of 1969. He was soft spoken, experienced, and very capable. In mid-summer he developed an abscessed tooth and suffered for several days before it was controlled with penicillin from the medical supplies. There were no medical personnel on T-3, so if a medical problem developed it was handled over the radio. There were days when the radio communication was poor or non-existent.

Typed information accompanying negatives: Graham Law was one of the two employees on T-3 working for Lamont in the summer of 1969. I believe that he was a student at Columiba University.
