Howard Hughes
Some years ago I walked into Hughes Tool Company on Polk Street. I had transferred there from Baker Sand Control, a division of Baker that had taken over the company in a merger that caused a lot of resentment. There were safes on every floor that were not just large, they were huge. Drawings for the drill bits had been stored there at one time. There were leather couches inside the room that was in front of the safe. A lot of the walls were so thick and solid that cabling for networking required that holes be drilled. In fact, it was impossible because of the thickness of the walls to run a cable through some of them. The "corner office" had a private elevator to a private lunch room in the cafeteria area. In fact, the "corner office" had a private elevator to the roof where there was a helicopter pad. There was a pink flamingo in front of the forge area and a table with chairs. It was said there was a ghost in an abandoned wing of the third floor. I can't vouch for the men's room but the ladies room had a huge vanity area with leather couches and lighted mirrors and 18 stalls. There weren't 18 women working on that floor. I loved it, still do. I was proud to have worked for that great company even though its glory days were over. It was one of my favorite places of all that I have ever worked.
Howard Hughes is buried in this fenced in grave site where no name is visible to indicate who is entombed?
