I have a copy of the letter (somewhere) that Uncle Brooks wrote about that episode. He was by himself, and was to drive the team to the Park. It was quite an adventure for him, and he does comment that Grandpa wasn't too pleased with him for being late. Don't remember about the fishing?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728351230605312730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-68927370275389647082015-01-19T06:15:12.498-07:002015-01-19T06:15:12.498-07:00It was the Chittendon, there are several stories a...It was the Chittendon, there are several stories associated with it. One was that Dave and Brooks were to take the team and fresno up to grandpa over sylvan but stopped to spend quality time trout fishing. I believe that grandpa went looking for them but I could be wrong, I do remember hearing that he was furious with the boys for slacking off. At the end of the pour grandpa was in the line that shook hands with Teddy Roosevelt. Grandpa had many tales to tell of the tourists from the east, I'll have to try and remember some of them.Steve Bloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14461084071883064196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114307744147144762.post-78969216387575746882015-01-17T15:38:41.093-07:002015-01-17T15:38:41.093-07:00Wasn't it the Chittendon Bridge where there wa...Wasn't it the Chittendon Bridge where there was the continuous concrete pour?Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652616779595499610noreply@blogger.com
