I heard that they used Native Americans (can't remember the tribe but would be a northeast tribe or two) to build these skyscrapers in NY because they, too, were not afraid of heights. Interesting that Jeanette says they used a lot of men from Newfoundland and Labrador, too.<br /><br />Thanks, Carol. They were a brave bunch!! Notice, no security harnesses or anything!<br /><br />Jeanette, thanks for that link - will look at it now.<br /><br />Yes, Sherry, I would not have been able to do that - or go down into a mine.<br /><br />Thanks, Debbie! You, too.<br /><br />RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-3029739858114979952014-09-02T12:59:24.404-04:002014-09-02T12:59:24.404-04:00Dear Rhonda - great photo and I hope you had lots ...Dear Rhonda - great photo and I hope you had lots of fun on the last week-end of the summer.

They were recruited as they needed people who weren't afraid of heights.<br /><br />http://www.cbc.ca/nl/features/menofiron/Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-47964868101145672052014-09-01T13:32:56.969-04:002014-09-01T13:32:56.969-04:00Happy Labor Day weekend.
