DON BOGGES AND NIKE

Commo man Don Bogges loved animals and was always kind to Nike. Here Don feeds Nike a special treat beside the Mail Room. Nike often had bad hangovers and must have really appreciated the treatment from Don. Nike had a special "Class A" uniform, a red blanket with his name on it and RCRC sewn on the corners. He hated wearing it and could sense when he was going to be dressed up for some special occasion so he would run and hide. When the camp was closed in August 1959, Nike went to live with a New Mexico rancher.
