General Note

1 December 1970 Subject: Off Duty Recreation, The Craft Shop Location: Fort Shafter, Hawaii A narrative interview recorded by Specialist Joliff with SSgt. Dave Peterson on a camper he built utilizing the craft shop. The recording begins with identification of the recording. SSgt. Peterson discusses the building of and description of his camper. He said it was the third camper he had built, and all three were different. He had designed it with outdoor sporting activities in mind and had worked approximately four hours a night, five nights a week, ten hours on Saturday and usually a couple hours of touching up things on Sunday. The total cost of the camper was $125 and Mr. Peterson believed it would have cost him at least $450 to purchase a similar one. He said he had no plans, just worked from ideas in his head, but he did have a specific design in mind because he wanted it to fit in the back of his truck. He went through the steps he had taken to complete the camper, detailing the design inside as well as outside and discussing the amount of materials used and approximately how long certain steps took. He pointed out a couple of features he had included for his daughters and discussed the final touches he had to make, and certain things he might add back in the mainland. It was an eight week task and Mr. Peterson said he felt he had achieved a great deal and took pride in his work and he would encourage other people to do it if they had the time and the dedication.
