I lived in Sellwood at the time about 9 blocks east of Sellwood park and the bridge. Us kids didn't even know about the flood or we just didn't care - it was Christmas and I was too preocupied with the event. I don't even remember seeing it on TV. But I do remember how the Oaks had shut down because of it. That was our favorite hang out at the time.
At that time every river in Oregon was in flood stage. I wish I had video of Corvallis at that time. We had to leave our house and live with some friends for a couple of days.
My grandfather took a photo of that barge going under the Sellwood--I guess it was either working the river a lot that day or your Dad & my gramps were there at the same time. Small world either way.
