O
n June 7, I attended the unveiling ceremony of
the “Visionaries” sculpture in Troutdale, Oregon.
As mentioned in the last issue, this effort honors
the work of Sam Hill and Sam Lancaster for the
construction of the Historic Columbia River Highway,
one hundred years ago this year.
With approximately 100 people in attendance on a
very warm day, artist Rip Caswell thanked everyone
for coming out and those who helped in the creation
of the sculpture, including PLSO.
I managed to get a few decent pictures, the models
for the work were in attendance, so you can see what
they looked like. I introduced myself to Rip and he
mentioned that there will be some signage coming
that lists the contributors.
While the brass cap I created is not in the most
advantageous spot, it does have our name on it. It
takes a bit of looking, just like most corners we need
to find.
“Visionaries” is located at 820 E. Historic Columbia
River Highway, between the old Sandy River bridge
and downtown Troutdale.
