Benson finally got a new track. replacing the dirt and rocks the trackmen have been running on for the past 50 years. The music industry continued to boom in 1972-1973. Portland saw many top musicians entertain, including B.Bg King. The Fremont bridge was lifted into place in 1973 in a magnificent feat of engineering. In sports, Paul Durant highjumped for Benson's contending track team and Ron Woo served for the young tennis team. As summer approached, Fritz enjoyed a leisurely lunch in the sun. . ,A at H i f in 1 522:52 K ff MX Qsrgwirm ' aff , - .
