Memories of Alexandria Friends
Glen Saucier
This photo is of the remains of my dad's business (Alexandria Sheet Metal Works) on Lee Street after a tornado hit Alexandria in 1957. As I recall, the tornado traveled straight down Hill Street, from the Chester Street area, until it hit Lee Street, then took a left for a few blocks until disappearing.

photo of the 1957 tornado. Who owned the Superette?
This photo shows the old Murray Street bridge over the Red River during high water. Unfortunately, it's not dated.
Shown below is a steam locomotive at the Missouri-Pacific roundhouse, dated 1935-36 (my grandfather worked there).
