Pat,

It was probably Clyde they were interviewing at High Bridge Camp. I was
wondering if anyone has kept a tally on how many people have lost their
lives on High Bridge. I remember when in College there, there were
about 3 or 4. High Bridge connects to our history here in the mountains
- as mention is sometimes made of High Bridge with the log floats from here.
