Linda Garrett also remembers Meyer Library when it was under construction.

My father, Ray Benton, was the superintendent on the construction of the Meyer Library. I was 15 and a half years old when the foundation was first dug into the ground and had my learner's permit to drive -- my father would let me drive his pick-up truck, with the stick shift in the steering column, all around the job site, down into the basement area and back up the dirt ramp, around and around, while he did the Saturday payroll work in his trailer. Although I have other memories of Saturdays with my Dad at Stanford while the library was being built, the memory of driving around in that pick-up truck is my most vivid. As a Cal Berkeley graduate, I've had the pleasure of attending the Big Game at Stanford several times over the years, and I always stop at the Meyer Library for a visit!

Thanks for the memory, Linda. We may even forgive you for attending Berkeley.
