If heights bother you, then this is not the job for you.

In 1955, the specialized work of the Mayo Clinic window washers was definitely not for everyone. In the foreground is Ingvald Rise; others, rising up the building during window washing are John Peters, Duane Buck, Robert Wileman, and Harold Fahrman. Photographer Erv Miller took the picture

Sometimes, they even helped by getting a closeup picture of the Zorach statues on the east wall of the Clinic.
