[or-roots] and then there was the Battleship Oregon

[Aileen Itzen]

I was in grade school when school children were given small blocks of wood 
with 'The Battleship Oregon' stamped on them.  This was when they tore it 
up for scrap, as I recall.  Probably would have been in the late 30's or 
early 40's. Aileen
