Mr. Wheeler. What is your present occupation?

Mr. Delaney. I am an architect.

Mr. Wheeler. How long have you been so engaged?

Mr. Delaney. Well, I grew up in the construction business. I have been a licensed architect since 1950 or 1951. I can’t state accurately.

Mr. Wheeler. How were you employed prior to that?

Mr. Delaney. I came to Seattle in 1941. I worked at Sims Drake Puget Sound. It was a contracting firm here. I worked with a construction company after that who built defense housing. After that I worked, the last year of the war—in my recollection—at Boeing Aircraft Co.

Mr. Wheeler. When did your employment terminate with Boeing Aircraft?

Mr. Delaney. When the war was over.

Mr. Wheeler. In 1945?

Mr. Delaney. Yes.
