Vision to Reality: Monroe's New Community Library & Restored Southern Pacific...Dan Sheets
The initial purpose of this project, “Vision to Reality: Monroe’s New Community Library & Restored Southern Pacific (SP) Railroad Freight Depot,” was to pass time during a period of unemployment. Over the weeks and months that followed, I captured over 10,000 images of this construction and restoration project. In addition to capturing all those images, I gained a new respect for this community and everyone who contributed to bringing this vision to reality. The new building was more than just a library, it symbolized the community’s commitment to its past, present and future. As a result my purpose changed from just capturing images to documenting and sharing a remarkable piece of local history.
The scope of this project is to document the construction of the new Monroe Community Library and restoration of the former Southern Pacific Railroad’s freight depot from the perspective of local railroad history and preservation.
Lastly this project is dedicated to the residents of Monroe, Oregon and the surrounding South Benton community. We have the unique opportunity to walk into a new library that celebrates our community’s past, present and future.

"From Russia With Love":--- A Memorial to 9-11-01Bruce
The world-wide struggle against terrorism began with the tragedy of 9-11-01 when al-Qaida, led by its leader, Osama bin Laden, hyjacked three domestic flights in the United States and crashed two of them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in NY City and the other into the Pentagon in Washington, DC. This is a review of the responses made, beginning with the 'Teardrop Memorial' given by the people of Russia and so symbolic of the world-wide struggle with terrorism, and ending with what two Presidents of the United States have done about it.
