In photo 206, Scott Price recognized his former manager Harold Erskine, a station manager at Marshall Steam Station in Catawba County, N.C. Price said he remembers Erskine, who is holding the clipboard, as a good manager who was always concerned about the welfare of his employees. A few others wrote in to say they recognized the other employee as Joe Davis, who was a steam production engineer at Marshall.
