You could very well be right, but I got to try. I found a picture of my grandpa this summer that was taken at the gasoline plant he worked at from 1947 to 1982. The plant closed 20 something years ago. I thought it would be cool to find the exact office his picture was taken in. I went to south Texas to visit family, and found the plant. The office building was still there, and I was able to get my picture. I'm glad I did since the land was for sale and the plant was being demolished.

There are some contact #s here:

The link below is to a forum for the Adirondack 46ers you can post the picture on and I expect you’ll have answer in a day.

I'm down to one of two possible bridges. That's about as close as I think I'm going to get. I tried the high peaks forum, and got a hit. I called the high peaks visitor center, but they don't seem to return calls.

Thank you for looking. I haven't been able to find out anymore myself. The plaque my have been removed when the bridge was replaced.
