RE: The Spangler Connection
Not sure Gifford qualifies as Super-Duper, Cliff, but I was going on what I learned way back in high school about journeymen. Here's what a current dictionary says that agrees with what I was taught:

jour•ney•man (ˈdʒɜr ni mən)

n., pl. -men.
1. a person who has served an apprenticeship at a trade and is certified to work at it under another person.
2. a competent but routine worker or performer.
3. a person hired to do work for another, usu. by the day.

I think Gifford was his own boss; he did not work under another, more skilled carpenter in the times that we are discussing. I guess it's just semantics...
