D. Bruce Mortensen

To the Bruce Mortensen Family,

I knew Bruce for many years when he worked in the regional office in Minneapolis. He was detailed to the Washington D.C. office where I was the assistant chief engineer.

I had the privilege to invite Bruce to my home in Virginia for dinner and got to know him even better.

Several years later the regional office in Denver was established and both Bruce and I had the opportunity to work together again.

To the family of Bruce,
I have known Bruce since 1977 when I started work for the Fish and Wildlife Service. The first time I was introduced to Bruce was during a fence replacement project in South Dakota. I wrote the specifications and the bid was awarded and the contractor started work. About one week later, the contractor showed up at the Refuge Headquarters with a bunch of steel corner posts with concrete bases. Each one had a 4" brass survey cap marked "Bureau of Sport Fisheries"...
