Ironton Sililoquy
A Day Remembered
February 28, 1966
Written by Charles Collett

Forty-five years ago tonight a dinner was held at the Hotel Marting
at which time it was announced $778,000 in stock had been subscribed
to build the Ironton-Russell Bridge. Who in addition to Gene Adams
can say that they were there that night when the cheering started.
Judge and Faye Collier started Saturday for a visit to the 50th
state. Both will be in demand upon their return for programs at the
clubs as it’s hard to find two more gifted speakers. Bill Goldcamp
of Portsmouth likes to take coffee breaks in Ironton. He listens to
Mrs. Olson on TV and knows about good coffee but likes what Ed
Payne and Clyde Whitman serves at the Elks Club.
Bill was born next door on Park Avenue to the Elks and he was
always welcome in the reading room when he was just old enough to look
at comics. Bill was in Saturday to give us opportunity to make this
note.
Ann Edmundson phones inviting us to look at the purple crocus
in bloom in her yard. Thanks Ann, I’m afraid my friends Esther
Speara and Stella Sites will demand equal space about their
February blooms.
