  Remember that the Battleship Oregon when it was dismantled was cut up and  small peices sold for War Bonds.  At least that is what I remember.  Anyone else know more.

      I remember my dad taking me down to the Willamette and on board the Battle ship "Oregon".
      We climbed all  over and into that neet old ship. I was about 8 or ten years old.
      Anyone else that old to remember the "Oregon"?  The Mast is Still on the Willamette.  I Browsed the net and found a really great Picture of  that ship.
