    Just reading the book, The Boys in the Boat, about the Univ of Washington crew that rowed into history in the 1936 Olympics. Young Joe Rantz, one of the story’s stars, worked a summer here, jackhammering from a rope! Amazing footage here.

    My Great Grandpa Wallace Hubbard helped build the damn. I even found his construction helmet.
