A KOTO Radio show, called Friday Live, in which Jerry Greene interviews Eric Dowd, a local designer. This show aired on December 15, 1978. First, Eric speaks of his childhood and of growing up on a ranch and changing schools. Eric is from Colorado and probably attended around 20 different schools during his childhood. Eric is not exactly sure why he became a designer, but he believes it has to do with his interest in self-sufficiency, a skill he learned from living on a farm. One of Eric's long-term goals is to become an architect, but for now, Eric is happy to be a designer of buildings/homes. The school's design is discussed. Also discussed is environmental-friendly designs, including solar. Then, Eric speaks of his current position as a designer and what the public/local developers want to see developed in Telluride. Eric also speaks about what brought him to Telluride and helping to design homes around the ski area.
