Hi, Folks.
How many knew this? I have just found an article in the eM Kayan magazine archive in Boise, Idaho, which mentions that Wooldridge construction equipment manufacturers were an affiliate of Morrison-Knudsen contractors. Wooldridge also assembled Mack trucks at their plant in Sunnyvale, CA..

This sorta thing can happen when it is too wet to work on projects here. LOL.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Interesting!
Here's another "how many knew this." that Dennis Washington, who owns Morrison Knudsen and numerous other companies, started out with a single bulldozer in Montana?
I encountered him in the early 70s as a newspaper reporter covering a state meeting where he and his politically connected attorney (friend of the governor) were applying for a state contract to put that dozer to work.
