I was born in Oregon City in the mid 1950's...grew up and lived near the now closed King School, went to Gardiner Junior High and the old OCHS. Several kids in the neighborhood had dads that worked in the mills.

I remember times where the area reeked of rotten eggs...sulfur from the mills.

Fantastic pictures...what I remember as a kid was the December 1964 flooding...went with Dad to the viewpoint above the falls, to see them covered in water!
