Pop Williams 68 Still Riveting at Amarillo Air Base
Pop Williams, born in October, remains an active structural iron worker on the Amarillo Air Force Base hangar project. At 68, he rockets rivets up to 60 feet to a catcher, as two riveting crews assemble about 1,000 tons of steel in six days. His boss, Jay Crigger, notes Williams’ steady skill despite age, while the crew recalls the dangers and hard conditions of hot rivets and summer heat.
