About 1944-46 I worked in the bean<BR>fields where the airport is now.

of the pilots. They waved at us girls working in the<BR>beans and of

anyone is interested I have the map of Vanport with all the streets
laid<BR>out as well as the nursery, fire hall, and other items in the
city. I also<BR>have several newspaper articles. I visited Terri
the manager what is now<BR>Delta Park Raceway. She was featured in
several papers about three years<BR>ago as she has been recovering items from
the flood that have worked their<BR>way up through the mud. It was
interesting to see the bottles, rings,<BR>vases, lipstick containers, a jar of
jam (still sealed with wax) and various<BR>other items. I believe
several of the original items that she found were<BR>cast in some way and used
in the light rail stations. Although my parents<BR>did not live there
was born in Vanport in 1948 and have only found one other<BR>person that was
also born there, however she was born in 1946.<BR><BR>From: Glen A. Jones
