In case anyone is interested,the new (as of a couple of years ago) bridge that crosses the Crooked River on Highway 97 in Central Oregon was named in honor of Rex Barber of the "P-38 Admiral Yamamoto Mission" fame.
I know that this isn't exactly news,but I check the roadcams in this area every day or two and see his namesake bridge.Rex was a resident of Central Oregon.
Here's a link to the roadcams:
