Weol, about Grand Coulee Dam. Yes , my uncle, my mother's brother, name Cecil Barnett worked on the Dam also. One day a man fell i8nto the cement when it was pouring and of course they couldn't stop and he is buried in the concrete of the Dam. Several days later another man who was working close and with my Uncle cecil also fell into the pouring concrete and is still there. My Uncle left the job as he had seen enough and was afraid he'd be another one. he said no matter how carefull you were that anyhting could happen beyond your control and it might be you next. I don't remember exactly how many men are buried in the cemment from fall's but 3 or 5???
