The desk he so cavalierly dismisses as "a piece of junk from day one" was built by a skilled craftsman who spent many hours building the desk, the credenza and a phone stand. This man is now deceased, but for many years was a valued and loyal City employee, Skees Birkenbuel. <BR/>The actual cost of materials on the job was $880, which was pencilled in on the approved plan. <BR/>Bob Duty (who was the Public Works Director) erased those figures and lied to Mr. Stockwell. He lost his job over that, and Stockwell followed him soon after. The labor bill was padded by Birkenbuell's boss.<BR/>If the drawers were sticking, why didn't Lawton call a carpenter? Oh wait, I guess he fired the City Carpenter...<BR/>Th high point of the Fibune article was Lawton discussing his retirement. It can't come a day too soon! The chicken feathers are ready, and the tar is warming up nicely. Anybody got a spare rail?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
