EDNA CLEANS - OAKLAND BAY BRDIGE OPENS
Nice Day.
Cleaned Dining Room.
While Edna was cleaning the dining room on this day in 1936, the Oakland Bay Bridge officially opened in California.
Perhaps she listened to the official radio broadcast while she worked.
As a long-time member of the Kent County Road Commission, Edna's husband Henry was invested in highway transportation. If Edna heard the story on the radio, it seems she would have made made some sort of note of it in her journal.
Maybe she didn't hear the broadcast. Maybe she just wasn't impressed.
You can listen to the story as it was broadcast that day here: https://www.baybridgeinfo.org/history Once on the page, scroll down a bit until. you see the audio link.
