Thu Feb 27 2014 at 17:50:05 The year was 1959: Oregon celebrated its Centennial, the United States was in the midst of the Cold War, and people didn't go to Dutch Bros. or Starbucks for a Hazelnut Macchiato, they went to a café for a cup of coffee. George Rutherford pulled into Roseburg, Oregon around 8:30 pm on a typical hot August night. It was too late to make his two deliveries outside of town. He decided to park the new 2-1/2 ton red Ford delivery truck he was driving on Pine Street, just a few feet from Gerretsen's Builder's Supply, an act which would prove disastrous for downtown Roseburg and many of its citizens. The truck contained 6.5 tons of explosives from the Pacific Powder Company of Tenino, Washington.
