Norman Grimsley of Castleton has retired after serving 23 years as fire tower observer for the Division of Forestry. He was recently presented a certificate of appreciation for service by Forest Warden Clifton Jenkins. The fire tower, located on Red Oak Mountain, must be manned during the early spring when the weather is windy and dry, as well as during any extremely dry period. Early detection of the slightest smoke prevents what could become a disasterous forest fire. While working, Mr. Gnmsley walked from Hope Hill to the top of Red Oak each day to man the tower and returned home the same way.
