Loren Clark and Phyllis Clark (Ketchum)

Interview with Loren Clark and Phyllis Clark who recall growing up in Detroit, Oregon, during and after the construction of Detroit Dam, sharing memories of the old town, small school classes, logging work, and community life. They describe how the dam and relocation affected local families but remember most residents as largely neutral about the project while continuing to build their lives around the new lake and town.
