James H. McClintock is glad that Theodore Roosevelt will be able to come dedicate the dam in Maricopa County, as he helped make its construction possible. McClintock shares his memory of the beginning of the construction of the dam, and how he and several others were involved with surveying locations and providing a recommendation. While the remaining members of the “Arizona squadron” of the Rough Riders will be in attendance, McClintock laments how their numbers have dwindled.
