[or-roots] Jantzen Beach

[CARROLLOUC at aol.com]

Sorry - guess I goofed on this memory. I too had relatives who were flooded  
out when the second dike broke two weeks after Vanport - my parents and  
grandmother's houses in Parkrose were flooded. At the time of the first break  that 
wiped out Vanport my husband and I lived in University Homes on Columbia  
Blvd. We walked to the edge of the cliff above Vanport and viewed the flood  
first hand. I had forgotten that Jantzen Beach stood alone on Hayden  Island.
 
Carroll:

SORRY, ONE HAD VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH THE OTHER.   VANPORT WAS IN 1948 AND I 
REMEMBER IT WELL.  I HAD RELATIVES THAT WERE  CAUGHT IN THE FLOOD.  I AM NOT 
SURE WHEN JANTZEN WAS TAKEN APART BUT NOT  IN 1948.  WE WENT EVERY YEAR FOR THE 
SCOTTISH GAMES.  MY DAD'S AUNT  LINED ALL THE KIDS UP AND GAVE EACH A SHINY 
NEW DIME.  WENT A LONG WAYS  THEN.
GARY IN AZ.
