By way of introduction. I was attracted to Wikipedia when I was searching the web for articles regarding weatherization history. I like the idea of a living working book of knowledge. I feel I can contribute because. I weatherized the first single-family-dwelling unit in the new USA National Weatherization Program operated through Community Action Agencies at the local level called Community Action Programs. I have witnessed a lot of changes since September 5, 1975. The date of the very first house was weatherized in Great Falls, Montana. The Great Falls Tribune published a story about Ada Carpenter the 82 year old recipient of the brand new National Weatherization Program. I trained a team of Air Force Officers based in Great Falls, Montana for this first field exercise. The next Weatherization I trained was composed of Non Commissioned Officers from the same Air Force Base. I then advanced the Weatherization Training to the persons who were trying to work their way out of the cycles of poverty in a brand new industry. Jobs that had never existed before. -30- Walt Foster
