[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 243056, member: 59"]I thought it was interesting that whoever wrote the name of Boulder Dam, misspelled it on the hankie. A really big deal during the Depression because it employed so many in its construction, plus was an amazing feat of engineering. Note that it was turned over the government in 1936, although FDR "dedicated it" the previous year. Name was changed to Hoover Dam in the 40's.
