Sure sounds like a fun time, wish I could have been there (with a DeSoto,
not a Plymouth, but I could have parked in a corner :-) ) but work
interferes with a lot of things in life.
I agree, the courthouse seems well above the river level. I am not
a hydrologist nor any sort of engineer, but I did work a few years in
power plants. Our cable splicers used to relate that it seemed like
every vault or manhole they worked in needed to be pumped out before they
could enter. Didn't seem to matter if the manhole was low lying or
elevated somewhat, it got groundwater in it. Hydraulics, I
guess.

It would appear that the front lawn of the court house is quite a
bit above the river. I looked down in all directions except for
a block east, so perhaps it was chosen for that reason. We might
look to other causes also.. We all saw the water main running right next
to the north side of the vault, above the lid and the rusty stains coming
down that side.
Last night we made one last visit to the site and it was returned to
almost normal. A little sod on Monday and it is gone...And so are
we.. Back in Detroit already this am. Our thanks to Tulsa for a
wonderful event..We sure felt welcomed. Last night's Branson show
across the street from the hotel with Fabian, Bobby Vee and the Chiffons
was just excellent. After having made the trip, would do it again in a
heartbeat. So wonderful to see everyone. We closed the hotel
bar every night and then hit the parking garage. And more 57 and 58
Furys in one place than I have ever seen..We will wait for Jack to give
the finally tally. I quit counting after 20. I think I heard more
than 35- 56,57and 58 Plymouths of all models.
