Facts and Events
Warren Edward Mueller was an engineer, a talent he shared with his father and other relatives on his father's side. His greatest achievement in his career was the completion of the Interstate 5 bridge over the Willamette River at Wilsonville, Oregon, of which he was chief engineer. An old friend of Warren's told the following story at his funeral: While he and Warren were in Japan during the occupation, they were once caught in a restricted area and American MPs were coming looking for them. Warren and his friend slipped into a building and there encountered another group who were also hiding out: the Japanese Mafia. With the little Japanese he knew, Warren managed to convince them that he and his friend were American Mafia who had been sent there to make contact. This is very much like Warren's sense of humour, but he never told this story himself. References
