Chinobi Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Very interesting, I had never seen photos of the original troll. There is however a neat article in the October issue of the CBA magazine covering the construction and installation of the new troll :) maybe one of the officers from northern California that frequent these boards can share a link or a copy with us here for the non-members in the house?

SmoothBore Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I thought it was the "Jefferson FREE State". ( Would that mean that the State of Jefferson, was FREE, ... or, ... that there were no Jeffersons, in the State ? ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Here's a compressed pdf of the CBA article.I checked with the author and mag publisher before posting. Michael Bondi, who was involved in making the original troll had some FB comments about the credit for making the new troll . -8:48pm Oct 21- Ok I want this straight the troll was made by all the guys working in my shop , as a collaborative piece, I invited Freddy to participate because I knew he could add something special too . My shop guys where Felipe,Alfonso,Socrates and Humberto I was contacted about making it the Monday before the bridge opened by the one of the same guys who where there when I suggested making the last one.i was leaving at noon that Monday for italy . We sealed the deal and did early drawings by email from the airport. And I got Joe Koches to get Freddy to my shop. The rest is history- Rode out along the bridge bikepath last weekend (22 miles round trip from home) looking for the new troll, who is supposedly visible from the path. Didn't see it but maybe next time. CBANOV-DEC13 troll story.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
