Groom-Radley Family Tree

Fred worked as a construction worker on a high rise in Amarillo. When he started work, he was asked if he could read blue prints. Having never read one before he immediately answered yes and moved into the role of a foreman.

He was working on an upper floor and accidentally stepped into an unfinished elevator shaft. He saved himself by grabbing a single board that lay across the opening. The shaft was partially filled w/ construction rubble that would have impaled him if the fall alone hadn't killed him.
