(somber music)

00:04.890 --> 00:06.460
- Hi, I'm Marcella Denton.

00:06.460 --> 00:08.560
I'm the IT Operations officer now

00:08.560 --> 00:10.010
for the Louisville District.

00:10.010 --> 00:13.540
But in 1987 I was a young
geotechnical engineer working

00:13.540 --> 00:15.030
back here in Olmsted.

00:15.030 --> 00:16.840
On New Year's Eve, I came down here

00:16.840 --> 00:20.290
to read instrumentation
because we had a flood.

00:20.290 --> 00:22.940
While I was here, my
truck got stuck in the mud

00:22.940 --> 00:25.960
and I was gonna have
to walk about two miles

00:25.960 --> 00:28.060
to Lock and Dam 53.

00:28.060 --> 00:30.130
When I was on the road, the neighbor

00:30.130 --> 00:32.180
at the corner of the road saw me

00:32.180 --> 00:34.560
and asked me what was wrong and offered

00:34.560 --> 00:36.280
to pull my truck out.

00:36.280 --> 00:38.200
He did and I was forever grateful

00:38.200 --> 00:39.360
because I was able to get home

00:39.360 --> 00:42.070
and celebrate New Year's
Eve with my friends.

00:42.070 --> 00:43.773
That's my Olmsted story.

00:45.969 --> 00:48.636
