10:20 That's the North Bonneville to Troutdale line. Out of view to the right, the line crosses the Columbia River from Camas. BPA built a set of towers in the middle of the river. 10:50 That transmission line goes right by my house. It's the North Bonneville to Ross line. I believe it was built in 1939.
The first chief engineer, I believe, was Charles Carey, not Sol Schultz. Carey was J.D. Ross' chief engineer when Ross became the first Administrator in 1937. When Ross fell ill, following an operation, in February 1939, Carey served as acting administrator for several months. After Ross's death in 1939, Carey was fired by Interior Secretary Ickes "because he was Ross' man" (Ickes was not a fan of Ross). That last quote is from my grandfather Ulric Gendron, who served as Ross' assistant. My grandfather wrote a short history of this period which I have just read (and which led me to this website).
i dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Ryder Ahmir i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Yeah - those evil capitalist pigs! How dare they make the USA into the world's #1 humanitarian contributor while simultaneously providing a much better, more peaceful life for those indigenous people?!
Wonderful video. My great grandpa helped log for these projects.
