    Alsea Bay Bridge - Then, Then, Then and Now (55+ years)

    "The Alsea Bay Bridge at Waldport, Oregon was Conde McCullough’s largest concrete structure, reaching a total of 3,011 feet across the mouth of the Alsea River. When completed in 1936, it was widely regarded as one of the finest concrete bridges in America. Unfortunately, it suffered serious structural deterioration as a result of corrosion of its steel reinforcement. It was demolished in 1991."--Bridge Ink

    The beautiful new bridge, designed by HNTB, is shown in the first photograph. The 1991 photograph shows replacement construction of the new bridge beneath the old bridge. Construction of the replacement bridge began in 1988, and was completed in 1991.

    The bottom two photographs show the historic bridge 30 years apart. The original bridge was completed in 1936 as a Public Works Project.

    To begin to try to convey the beauty of this bridge and geography, I included an aerial photograph of Alsea Bay by Alex Derr.

Sanding eggs

from OSU Special Collections & Archives : Commons

    I never knew there was such a thing as egg sanding!  Add that to a very long list of things I never knew ... including prune washers, and I'm thankful to OSU for their assist with my continuing education. ;) Could the "Mr. (Jack/John) St. Johns of Gervais, Oregon" in this photo be the same John L. St John (1925-2011) of Gervais, Oregon who graduated from Oregon State College, Class of 1950 with a Bachelor of Science, Major in Poultry Husbandry? The later photo looks as if it could be him. If so, he had an outstanding list of accomplishments after graduation!

    We take our poultry presentation seriously here in Oregon! As for the busy sander -- too bad we can't get a side profile of Mr. St Johns.
