Columbian photographer Reid Black- burn, 28. The car was buried to the hood in ash about 13 kilometres from the. crater and it took Ottosen more than-a year to dig it out. « “I think it's important that we remember what hap- pened that day,” said Otto- sen, a 62-year-old widow with eight grandchildren. ‘The Museum of Mount St. Helens is within sight of the voleano and was set up by Ottosen, with the help of photographer-designed Al Hayward of Portland. Ottosen got the idea for a museum when she purchased ~ a bar that once stood in Harry Truman's Spirit Lake - lodge. Truman died when he- refused to leave the lodge on the day of the eruptién. The bar had been moved from the lodge earlier. is She then decided to try and get some of the vehicles which were destroyed. “When I started, the mu- seum was going to be about Harry Truman, -but then Reid's car seemed to become more important,” said Otto- sen.

Ottosen said she has incor. porated but has made no money out of the museum, She hopes to bring down a car and two pickup trucks still up on the mountain, The museum also includes many items which’ came down the flooded Toutle Riv- er.
